Bush also announced during his speech that America is "addicted to oil" and vowed to replace "more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025." Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said that this promise was not meant to be taken literally. "This," he said, "was purely an example."
Okay then. The president of the US apparently lives in a world where the Bible is literal truth, but his own promises, delivered on television to millions, are figurative.
Bush doesn't need PR flacks to lend his blubbering legitimacy. He needs exegetes.

President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt
have ALL authorized electronic surveillance on a FAR broader scale.

spying on U.S. citizens without first getting a warrant, February 6, 2006
What kind of electronics would George Washington have used? The integrated wooden circuit? The can-on-a-string conduction module?

Dubya is a freaking OIL TYCOON, and he tells the nation our problem is we're addicted to oil.
It's like the dope peddler telling his customers they smoke too much grass, only worse.
Also: You're welcome! It's my pleasure!
Yay! A shout out. I think I just had a tiny orgasm.
And, Bush doesn't need PR flacks to lend his blubbering legitimacy. He doesn't need exegetes. He needs to step down and shut the hell up.
