Dan Bartlett on "60 Minutes" last night.

Did you guys hear this fool say that Bush had met all his requirements in the ANG and that he was "granted permission to meet his requirements"? Granted permission to meet requirements. Apparently, when a "spokesperson" won't do, they have to bring out the "communications specialist" and this is the kind of nonsense we get. Quite apart from everything else that I hate about this administration, one of the reasons that they HAVE to lose in November is because I just can't stand to listen to four more years of utter fucking nonsense. Someone apparently needs to explain to Bartlett that a requirment is not something you need permission to meet. I want to say "Don't quit your day job, Dan" but this is his fucking day job.
