It just shows, once again, that so much of what the Bush people say about others never, ever, applies to them. If these people would listen to what they say and think about how it applies to themselves, their heads would explode.
Didn't Condi say that Musharaff should restore democracy? LOL!
I haven't forgotten what Bush said about this 1999 coup.
Bush, in answering the question about the leader of Pakistan, also said: "The new Pakistani general, he's just been elected -- not elected, this guy took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the subcontinent."
Gore released a statement Friday taking Bush to task for his comments on Pakistan's recent coup.
"I find it troubling that a candidate for president in our country -- the world's oldest democracy -- would characterize the military takeover as "good news," Gore said. "Further, I find it even more disturbing that he made these comments about a nation that just last year tested nuclear weapons -- shortly after voicing his public opposition to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

According to the Sooper-Dooper Extra-Special Unlimited Powers card assigned by the Constitution to the C-in-C (Commander-in-Codpiece), the President is above the law.

Ms. Perino was being completely honest. What would be unreasonable is any attempt to restrict the President's Constitutional freedom to do whatever the Big Guy Upstairs whispers into his ear during his blackouts.

When you quote Sen. Schumer verbatim it always nice to credit the quote
Well, it's not reasonable. True.
When has reason, or the lack of it, ever stopped them?
What the heck does reasonable have to do with it?
They may be the Stern Daddy party, but the kind who brings "Do as I say, not as I do," to a whole new global level.
She's just so darn cute. I bet she's in negotiations with Fox for her very own sitcom.
