Bush takes favored spot in Oval Office for grilling by Sept. 11 commission

[MaineDem]

WASHINGTON (AP) The setting of President Bush's meeting with the Sept. 11 commission resembled countless previous sessions in the Oval Office: The president in a high-backed chair, fireplace behind him, guests arrayed before him on light-colored couches.

But this was a meeting like no other. Bush's ''guests'' were 10 interrogators from the independent commission, and they brought a long list of questions about his actions leading up to the terrorist attacks.

Flanking Bush in a matching blue-and-beige chair was Vice President Dick Cheney; After resisting any appearance by Bush, the White House had insisted that they appear together.

The session had the air of a negotiating summit between teams of lawyers.

Grilling??? Grilling??????? What grilling? This is a farce. Journalists should be singing that from the rooftops -- THIS IS A FARCE!

2. the paranoid president!

He picked a room that no one could slip a tape recorder or bug in, and I bet you the committee was frisked, padded and X-rayed. He's a chicken hawk liar!

3. I'd put money on the White House taping this

No doubt in my mind!

4. Isn't this what a guy like Hussein would do?

Seriously, he acts just like a dictator or a little boy pretending that he's king for a day, or in this case, four hellish years.

is probably in the high-backed chair.

7. "Bush takes favored spot in Oval Office..."

8. Junior was simply holding court. His subjects "were arrayed before him".

And, his regent, Cheney, sat comfortably by his side.
