transcript<\/a> of Dubya’s Meet the Press<\/i> interview that everyone’s reading. It took me about 15 or 20 minutes to read it, because Bush is basically, well, I was going to say ‘incoherent,’ but I’m going to pull out all the stops and call him ‘inchoate,’ which is a word I’d hoped I’d never have to use to describe a president, so let me explain, no wait, there’s not enough time, let me sum up: <\/p>\nRussert:<\/b> So, you’re blowing smoke about inviting a special investigation into the lack of legitimate intelligence going into the war with Iraq?<\/p>\n
