My Pet Bush

I suppose the Bush 9/11 interview tonight will be impossible to avoid, so I'm sure I'll see at least some of it.  I guess a lot of attention will be given to the 7 minutes he sat their reading My Pet Goat after being told about the second attack, which he claims he did so as to not show or induce panic.  I've never cared enough about it to hammer him like Michael Moore did.  On one hand, he's right - nobody wants to see the president lose his shit and run around the room like a little girl when a mouse walks into a room.

But it's not like he was on national tv, giving a speech.  He was in a classroom with LITTLE KIDS; I don't think that if he said "excuse me one moment" and walked out the kids would immediately leap to "holy shit, has our support of Israel, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq finally come back to bite us in the ass?"  I'm pretty sure they'd think "that old man is gone, hey I wonder if I'll get a pony for Christmas?"

"Pizza's here!"
