No wonder he thinks he's Jesus Christ

Why on earth doesn't anyone ask a simple question of this moron: "On what basis do you say it's legal?"

President Bush defended anew his program of warrantless surveillance Thursday, saying “there’s no doubt in my mind it is legal.” He suggested that he might resist congressional efforts to change it.

“The program’s legal, it’s designed to protect civil liberties, and it’s necessary,” Bush told a White House news conference.

“It’s so sensitive that if information gets out about how the program works, it will help the enemy,” Bush said. “Why tell the enemy what we’re doing?”

“We’ll listen to ideas. If the attempt to write law is likely to expose the nature of the program, I’ll resist it,” the president said.


In a world where Katie Couric dutifully repeats the Rovian meme that Jack Abramoff gave money to Democrats (he didn't, and it's documented), the mainstream media just take it for granted that if Bush says it's legal, it's legal. The man never reads a fucking book, how is he going to know what's legal? Because Abu Ghraib Gonzales told him it was? Why on earth doesn't anyone ask him to explain his position?
