What is/isn't he *on*?!

Seriously, somebody should look into what Dubya is/isn't taking. One minute he's doing this bizarre jaw-clench thing and the next, he's a f'g whiny & tired ol' man. Tuesday morning's press conference was mostly full of the tired droopy-drawers variety. And what's with the excessive smiling when asked about deaths & stuff?! That's messed up.

Oh, and I was particularly irritated at how he perked right up when asked about Supreme Court Justices "protecting executive privilege." He loooooooves him some of that sweet, sweet executive privilege.

10:33 AM Seriously: What's up with the Bela Lugosi cadences? He smirked about recognizing "government limitations," though -- oh, because the "private sector" is the "engine" that will drive recovery in the Gulf Coast.

10:37 AM The Patriot Act will expire but terrorist threats wont! good one there, prez. Funny. But I'm so distracted by how he's about to take a nap.
