That’s kind of a given; not something to brag about. Was it his counsel who suggested he should not answer questions under oath, or that the Vice-“President” should hold his hand while he “answered every question they asked”?

Hey, give credit where it’s due! At his last press conference, Dubya didn’t answer a single question. To go from zero to “every question” is quite a shift. It’s just a pity he’s not under oath.

Of course, Scott McClellan harumphed that Bush has “already taken an oath,” when he became President. Whoop-de-doo. I don’t recall any mention of the-truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth in his oath of office...

Now that I think of it, why aren’t Presidents legally considered to be “under oath” during the entirety of their term?

Dave!
