Leadership in Iraq

JIM LEHRER: Mr. Bolten, how did we get into a situation where one general named Petraeus has suddenly become the master whatever, the master decider as to what is happening on the ground in Iraq?
JOSHUA BOLTEN: Well, he's not the decider.

JIM LEHRER: OK. Bad choice of words.

JOSHUA BOLTEN: He's the commander on the ground.

JIM LEHRER: I withdraw the word.

JOSHUA BOLTEN: Withdrawal permitted.

4. Isn't it pathetic when a kindergarten-level word like "decider" becomes part of the federal

government's lexicon?

I mean, really. What's next? Poopy butt? Bush can pull that out when he's mad at someone, thinks they are full of shit and their ideas stink.

Example: "Ah kin still look inta Pootypoot's ahs an' see his soul, but sometimes that boy is a flat-out Poopy Butt when it comes ta dealin' with things ah wanna git dun!"

And a year later, Jim Leher's interviewing some asshole: "Now, would you characterize Mr. Putin's actions as simple obstreperousness, or do they descend into the Poopy Buttedness category where his very concepts are unsupportable, his goals cannot be achieved, and the President is impatient?"
