Quote of the Year
Please, please, please let this not be what he really meant to say.
"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."
--George W. Bush, August 5, 2004
So our enemy is whom, exactly?
Later, press secretary Scott McClellan assured reporters that Bush had no intent to harm Americans.
Or at least not using methods as brutally obvious as Al Qaeda's. This administration is much more subtle than that.
Rather, it "just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak. The American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction," McClellan said. "And the terrorists know by his actions he means it."
My, what a fun job Scott McClellan has.

Indeed, I've never heard Bush speak with such clarity as to his intentions.

That's what terrifies me. Although it's nice to see a politician finally tell the truth, even if he didn't mean to.
