So, I’m in a jury selection room. I have no choice but to be there, no control over TV or the volume. And Bush holds a press conference.

In 5 minutes he just praised the intelligence services for getting it wrong, (‘good job, Spookie!’) and then criticized Iran for not puting together a “competent presdency since 1979.” :-/

Q: How do I keep my irony meter from exploding? Is there a way to keep my ears from bleeding? I mean, I couldn’t take this long-winded jerk less seriously if _BIFF!_ _WHAMM!_ and _BAP!_ were showing on the screen behind him…
