From Air Force One today, two for one
there's two "OH, REALLYs" here, one in the first paragraph and the other in the second... can you pick 'em out...?
the first one is the easiest... bush is worrying about the nation "losing its soul...?" oh, c'mon, or, should i say, "OH, REALLY...!" the president who has presided over the most debasing, hate-filled, homophobic, religiously intolerant, race-baiting, accusatory, polarizing six and one-half years in the nation's history is worried about the nation losing its soul... < sigh > george bush must be the least self-examined man on the face of the earth...
didja catch the second one...? here's a hint...
i find it extremely ironic (or, should i say, "OH, REALLY!") that mcclatchy just happens to be the featured press outlet for this story... you can't tell me it's a coincidence...

President Bush said yesterday he fears that the backlash against immigration being incited by opponents of his legalization proposal could result in the nation losing its soul.
His comments came in an intense interview aboard Air Force One with McClatchy Newspapers. "I'm deeply concerned about America losing its soul," Bush said. "Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history." He added: "If we don't solve the problem it's going to affect America. It will affect our economy and it will affect our soul."

Staffers at McClatchy's Washington, D.C., Bureau -- one of the few major news outlets skeptical of intelligence reports during the run-up to the war in Iraq -- claims it is now being punished for that coverage.
Bureau Chief John Walcott and current and former McClatchy Pentagon correspondents say they have not been allowed on the Defense Secretary's plane for at least three years, claiming the news company is being retaliated against for its reporting.
"It is because our coverage of Iraq policy has been quite critical," Walcott told E&P. He added, "I think the idea of public officials barring coverage by people they've decided they don't like is at best unprofessional, at worst undemocratic and petty."
