WH "ethics" briefings

ain't that the way it is...? once the horse is already out of the barn... now i know for sure that bush was serious about running the wh like a business... in corporate life, the ethics briefings were ALWAYS scheduled right after a senior officer got his or her tail in a crack...
President Bush has ordered White House staff to attend mandatory briefings beginning next week on ethical behavior and the handling of classified material after the indictment last week of a senior administration official in the CIA leak probe.

miers' office is in charge of putting them together...

oh, btw, those pesky polls...? tish-tosh...

"I understand that there is a preoccupation by polls by some," the president said. "The way you earn credibility with the American people is to declare an agenda that everybody can understand, an agenda that relates to their lives, and get the job done."

the way you earn credibility with the american people (let's be real - ANY people) is to tell the truth, to not spin every word that comes out of your mouth, to live, act and relate to people like you're a fellow human being and to show that you're a man of your word... without that, nobody cares about your damn "agenda," worthwhile or not...
