John McCain is learning how to use the internets

Pitiful:

I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.

How long should it take to "learn" to get online? It's one point and a click.

Next up, John McCain tackles "the google."

White House: "Mission Accomplished" didn't mean the mission was accomplished

Hilarious.

"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said 'mission accomplished' for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission," White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. "And we have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Dana Perino isn't even trying anymore. "Mission accomplished" referred to just the ship, and not the war? This is the excuse they come up with after five years of trying?

If their latest lame excuse was true, how then would they explain this speech by Bush in Qatar, on June 5, 2003 (just a month later)?

I am happy to see you, an so are the long-suffering people of Iraq. America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished.

President Bush: Not My Fault

Come to think of it, nothing's ever my fault. Always blame someone else for anything that I do wrong. Hey, I know! Congress! It's Congress' fault. Yeah, that's it!

NY Times:

In declining to embrace the word "recession," Mr. Bush said that many Americans were just beginning to receive their tax rebate checks as part of an $168 billion stimulus program, and that it would be some time before the effects of those checks on the economy were clear.

As for rising energy prices, including the eye-popping cost of filling up the gasoline tank, Mr. Bush said that "if there was a magic wand to wave, I'd be waving it, of course."

Once again, he chided Congress for not approving exploration for oil and gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which he said could be done in an environmentally safe way, and for not sharing his belief in "clean, safe nuclear power."

Hey, I think it's working. Isn't it?

First Read:

The numbers? Only 21% approve of President Bush's job in handling the economy -- his lowest number ever as president on that question.

Also, a whopping 81% believe the US is currently in a recession.

Phew. Definitely it's working. Hey, maybe NBC will do my job approval tomorrow.

Man, I love being the President. You can get away with anything.
