One of the points I always try to make with friends who are of the "other" political persuasion is that my opinions of George Bush aren't formed on the basis of hearsay. As much as possible, I do watch/listen whenever our "president" speaks in order to judge for myself without benefit of spin. That said, experience has taught me to be prepared for certain levels of wincing and flinching when it comes to his particular oratory style; and given the venue of today's lecture I mistakenly failed to prepare for the EWWWW Factor. Thus, with full foreknowledge of W's proclivities for finger pointing, sidestepping and scapegoating I sat down to watch.
While I was sitting there being thankful that he hadn't started dancing again, he called on a female journalist (sorry, didn't catch her name). She stood and said that she was still waiting for her "exclusive at the ranch," to which he responded with a brief chuckle. Bad girl that I am, I immediately thought, "so that's what they call it nowadays." That's when the EWWWW Factor kicked in big time. It was so bad that I had to turn off the television. Since I didn't watch the whole thing, I'll keep my opinion to myself.
Except for "EEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!" of course.
