WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY, ETC: Bafflingly, the White House website reprints the verbatim text of President Bush's spectacular statement yesterday ("Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.") during the signing of the new Defense Appropriations Act. Somebody help me out here with understanding this. Is it because the statements were also videotaped (in footage also made available through the White House), and the administration doesn't want to be caught in an obvious cleansing of the record? The online transcript contains no erratum or addendum to what was publicly stated by the President. AND WEIRDEST OF ALL, in the videotape, Bush is clearly seen to be reading from printed notes, indicating that his comments were in his script, and not some off-the-cuff grammatical flub. Uhm...uh...excuse me while I check the terror alert level. |
