It's not that I am doing nothing. I think Bush is going to lose(1), when all is
said and done. It's just that the other alternative doesn't excite me much.
1 - if he keeps saying things like this, maybe people will realise he IS saying

From:http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBCWNR3JXD.html (not sure if this is for

"Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They

neither do we."
No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted"
2 - It's widely reported, not just there
