Ah, the media is back to its old love affair with the criminal in chief

From today's press conference:

BUSH: [Calls on CBS correspondent] John [Roberts].

ROBERTS: Thank you, Mr. President. So many questions, so little time.

BUSH: Well, keep your question short, then. (Laughter.)

ROBERTS: I'll do my best, sir. But, sir, you've shown a remarkable spirit of candor in the last couple of weeks in your conversation and speeches about Iraq...

Yes, what a remarkable few weeks it's been. Bush launches yet another PR offensive to prove to the country that everything is going great in Iraq, when it isn't, and that the Democrats hate America - that's when he's not admitting on national TV to being a criminal. For a moment there, I thought I heard Lisa Simpson:

"Mr. Burns, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway frieght train. Why are you so popular?"
