Josh Bolten's Double-Talk

@ 08:19 PM (43 months, 13 days ago)

Well color me surprised here!  Someone from within the Bush White House is speaking out of both sides of their mouth.  What a shocker!

New White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten says he and Bushie want a more open and relationship with the media and the public at large, as they try to get their "mojo" back.

So just how does Bolten plan to get Idiot Son Bushie get his groove back?

For starters, he says he it may be worth considering whether they should put an end to the daily White House press briefings.  But that's a decision he will leave up to incoming Press Secretary Tony Snow.

I'm sure you're scratching your head, wondering how putting an end to daily press briefings would translate into more openess between the Bush Crime Team and the media.

Well, if you had any hopes at all that logic and common sense would prevail in the Bush White House- give up on that idea.  I sure have.

  1. I fear this adminstration has lost trust for good, to much silence and not very forth coming with the public. Bringing "Lame Duck" to a hole new level.

  2. Absolutely correct. This Administration has lost the trust of the American people, because it has not kept faith with the American people.

    Bush said last January that he had his "accountability moment" and that it was called the 2004 election. So basically he feels he's not accountable to the American people anymore.

    Another very telling sign, I think, is that John Dean from the Nixon White House said this current Administration is worse than Nixon, as far as secrecy, abuse of power, etc.
