Now, What Did Uncle Dick Tell Me to Say?
Posted on | June 11, 2007
The Decider-in-Chief can decide two different things at once. Kevin Drum catches him on two consecutive days this past weekend:
“At some point in time, sooner rather than later, you’ve got to say, ‘Enough is enough — Kosovo is independent,’ ” Mr. Bush said….”In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one. It needs to happen.”
But on Sunday, Mr. Bush tried to backtrack when asked when that deadline might be. “First of all, I don’t think I called for a deadline,” Mr. Bush said, during a press appearance with Mr. Berisha in the courtyard of a government ministry building. He was reminded that he had.
“I did?” he asked, sounding surprised. “What exactly did I say? I said deadline? O.K., yes, then I meant what I said.” The reporters laughed.
“The reporters laughed.” Don’t worry. It’s only independence for Kosovo, after all—nothing important.
Can we please have a real president now? Please?
