Bush isn't enough of a manly-man to face REAL newspeople

(thanks to raw story...)

this would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic...
President Bush met with Fox News anchor Brit Hume on Sunday for a "sit down" interview, Fox News Channel is reporting, and the full interview is scheduled to be aired early Monday evening, beginning at 6 PM EST.

[...]

As Variety reported yesterday, the "sit down" will mark the "second time the Administration has turned to Fox in a time of trouble...Vice President Dick Cheney visited with Hume exclusively after his hunting accident."

there would have been a time, not so very long ago, when bush running to fox would have provoked my outrage at the administration's attempt to manipulate the news... now, it's just sad... whatever he has to say, he clearly believes won't hold up in a setting where he's asked serious, difficult questions, so he has to go where somebody will hold his hand and assure him that no big, bad newspeople are going to make him feel (or look) bad... so much for tough, swaggering, manly-man george...
