Things That Make You Go: "WTF?"
A twofer from White House Briefing. First, Is Bush going to invite Chirac to Crawford?
Here's Sciolino's take: "During a photo opportunity, Mr. Bush refused to be pinned down on whether relations had improved to the point where Mr. Bush would be inviting Mr. Chirac to the United States or even to Mr. Bush's ranch in Texas.Huh? Okay, how about this one, where Bush is asked what's up with Iran:
" 'I'm looking for a good cowboy,' Mr. Bush joked, dodging the question. He did not say whether he considered Mr. Chirac a cowboy. Mr. Chirac did not seem to get the joke."
Pool reporter Mark Silva of the Chicago Tribune reported to his colleagues that the pool had been warned not to ask questions at the Blair event. But CBS News's John Roberts tried to get one in anyway, asking: "What more does President Bush need to do for Iran to believe he fully supports the negotiations?"WTF?
Silva reported that Bush chuckled audibly: " 'Heh heh heh,' Bush laughs, as the two turn on their heels and leave to head for NATO."
