    Had watched the clip yet, but most conferences with the press are either scripted, or the reporters have a set of questions they must get approved by the PR ppl in order to get in.

    It turns into not what questions will be asked, but who gets to ask them. It's why you see so many major white house corespondants getting 90%+ of the questions, noone questions their jounalistic integrity, so everyone assumes it's off the cuff questions

    I disagree. They won the election once... The first one was decided by the Supreme Court, not the voters of America.

    read ni oneof the school papers that bush's administration send special forces to kidnap a democratically elected president or something from iraq ... kind of hypocritical in my opinion seeing as how he says this war or whatever is about "exporting democracy"

    Probably that too but I think he was sued by Newt Grenwichs posse and I would think they would be the ones doing the sexual haressment. Also, there was that whole Whitewater thing.
