Poll question: The White House Tech who left Junior's mic open

CAMBRIDGE, Md. The source of the latest leak from the Bush administration is: President Bush himself. Thanks to an error by a White House technician, the sound of what were supposed to be private remarks to G-O-P House members was relayed to the White House press corps.

Bush made a brief public speech to lawmakers at their retreat on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He then shooed out reporters and photographers, saying, "I support the free press, let's just get 'em out of the room."

Once they were gone, Bush -- not realizing he was still audible -- said, "I expect this conversation we're about to have to stay in the room." He added, "I know that's impossible in Washington."

Bush then spoke for roughly two minutes on the war on terror and his warrantless eavesdropping program before the outside feed was switched off. On the surveillance, he repeated earlier assertions he'd cleared the program with top government lawyers.

1. Other

pat on the back and the promise of an ambassadorship for helping to create a pre-planned entirely deliberate "leak" as part of a well organized disinformation program

[AllegroRondo]

5. My thoughts exactly

this guy is going to get a medal.

[MADem]

8. Yep, especially since nothing was leaked, and the mike was only turned off

when the Q and A started!!!

[MrSlayer]

14. I agree.

He wanted to be caught "candidly" repeating the same shit he says publicly.

[HeeBGBz]

16. There it is. A pre-fab goof up.

Phoney as hell.

[slor]

2. Where is the...

"handsomely rewarded for taking part in a rove scheme" choice?

[AtomicKitten]

3. High-five for creative choices.

[MindPilot]

4. I suspect he is going to be the next chief of white house

data security. Or undersecretary of WH communications. He has clearly screwed up badly enough to earn a top position in the administration.

[Mizmoon]

6. They told him to do it

so he did it.

[madame defarge]

7. Bush leaks on himself... n/t

[LiberalPartisan]

9. It was a deliberate 'mistake'.............n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. I agree

It was an evident propoganda ploy.

[yellowdogmi]

10. The techie deserves the medal of freedom.

too bad we didn't get the real goods from the "mistake".

[Neil Lisst]

12. It was yet another Karl Rove ploy, executed perfectly.

Two minutes of Bush saying what he always says, but this nonevent makes it "news."

It's one sucker punch after another.

[dooner]

13. I agree with you... nt

[Contrary1]

15. Other.

Since the tech has shown himself to be an idiot, he will be elevated to a cabinet position to join
the rest of the idiots. Always room for one more f**kup in this president's administration.

[Up2Late]

17. I say a few months of R&R at Club GTMO

That'll teach him.
