Reid: Bush monopolizes White House briefings

It turns out that those high-powered breakfast meetings at the White House aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told a group of reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast yesterday that his occasional White House meetings with the president were “nice” and featured oatmeal and bananas.

But although Reid said President Bush was always on time, it seems the president conducts something of a filibuster, monopolizing the first 50 minutes with his own views on foreign affairs, leaving participants struggling during the final 10 minutes to try to question him.

“There’s not time for exchange,” Reid said. “So I guess what I’m saying is, he gives us a lecture.”

3. So, can we start comparing him

to Hitler now? Or is just plain old dictator good enough?

Bush is a dictator. Pass it on.

5. He loves Hitler, so compare him to the person he pretends to loathe

(to earn votes) ------CASTRO!

8. I like it!

"Bush, no better than Castro." That'll piss 'em off! Good bumper sticker idea.

4. Can you imagine how big the future book of all his gaffs would be

if his gaffs from these 50 minutes could be included?

Here's my title for the book:

He Really Said That?

6. Can You Imagine How They Would Crucify Clinton

if he had done this?

Freepers are probably wetting themselves thinking about their "tough, little, wee-cowboy" lecturing those evil "politicians".

They are probably also wetting themselves thinking about * taking the DEMS out back and shooting them.

What a UNITER!!!
