Is it ever "silly" to question Bush?
I'll admit, Tony Snow is a darn good White House Press Secretary. He can talk an owl out of a tree -- even if there is no owl. But today he went off the deep end, saying that it to even ask whether President Bush handled the North Korean situation effectively since he came into office:
QUESTION: Looking back, is there anything that the president wouldhave done differently? Does he believe he has made any mistakes in thisregion?
SNOW: Oh, my goodness.
QUESTION: It’s a fair question.
SNOW: No, it’s a silly question.
Saying it is "silly" to ask whether Bush has had a sound North Korea strategy in place is about as Orwellian as last month when President Bush uttered the line, "."
It was a silly question. Because Bush would never say he should have done anything differently. At least something specific. Even in Iraq - the disaster to end all milatary disasters - he really hasn't said specifically what he would do differently. In fact, his VP says they'd not change a thing.
So that was a pretty silly question.

Haha. I never thought of it that way -- but I see your point. By now, the press should know that Bush will never make any concessions. After all, he is a perfect President, right?
