Does this count as a Bushism?

So at his press conference (Bush Comments on Protest Efforts) the President says ofCindy Sheehan, "She doesn't represent the views of a lot of families I have met with."

Well, of course not, you fucking dolt, but she does represent the views of a lot of families you haven't met with! That's why you haven't met with them!

I wish the GWB would listen to this guy:

Mother deserves meeting, and apology, from Bush
DeWayne Wickham

Mr. President, you should gently caress Sheehan's hands and assure her that her son didn't die in Iraq because you wanted to settle an old score. Tell her the reference you made to Saddam as "the guy who tried to kill my dad" during a 2002 speech, in which you laid out the case for war with Iraq, was a meaningless coincidence.

And tell Sheehan that when you said "bring them on" the following year, as resistance to the American occupation of Iraq began to stiffen, that you didn't mean to taunt insurgents from the safety of the White House while U.S. forces in that country were left to deal with their deadly response.

Just be honest and say you lost it for a moment. I think Sheehan will understand, given the emotional roller coaster she has been on since getting word that her son was killed five days after arriving in Iraq.

If at some point Sheehan gives you a sympathetic look, use this opening to say how sorry you are that more than 90% of the nearly 1,900 U.S. servicemen and women who have been killed in Iraq died after you triumphantly proclaimed an end to "major combat operations" in that nation.

Of course the people he's met with don't agree with Cindy...he screens people to hear his speeches, why not screen them just to see if they are worth listening too...Prezidant Bush doesn't want to be bummed on his vacation...it might ruin the bike ride.
