Everybody ready for "trick question" time at 11am?

Q What is for you the more decisive ally in your war against terrorism?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Decisive ally? Ally? Decisive ally? Of course, Jacques Chirac. (Laughter.) I -- listen, thank you for the trick question. Let me talk about this ally. The phone rang the day after the attack -- the day of the attack. I can't remember exactly when, but it was immediately. And he said, "I'm your friend." On this continent, France takes the lead in helping to hunt down people who want to harm America and/or the French, or anybody else.

Q You mentioned earlier that you were encouraged by some of the discussions going on over a unity government, over the last few days. Do you now have in mind a target date for forming the unity government and --

THE PRESIDENT: As soon as possible. Next question.

Q How much of a factor do you think that will be -- in turning around, or at least improving the situation in the public opinion?

THE PRESIDENT: Here in America?

Q Right.

THE PRESIDENT: That's a trick question, because you want to get me to talk about polls when I don't pay attention to polls.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. You recently put Condoleezza Rice, your National Security Advisor, in charge of the management of the administration's Iraq policy. What has effectively changed since she's been in charge? And the second question, can you promise a year from now that you will have reduced the number of troops in Iraq?

THE PRESIDENT: The second question is a trick question, so I won't answer it.

Q Some your strongest supporters -- Laura Ingraham on radio, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity -- have said that part of the problem is that the media haven't covered the full story in Iraq. If things go badly in Iraq, are the media responsible?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Oh, I think I -- you know, if that's -- that's a -- a pretty interesting trick question -- you know, if things go badly. I think they're going to go well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made the decision I made.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. At the outset you said that you will pursue next year, the election year, a pro-growth agenda. Up until now, pro-growth in this administration has largely been synonymous with tax cuts. Can you rule out the possibility of further tax cut proposals next year?

THE PRESIDENT: You know, Stretch, it's a trick question. (Laughter.) It's not very generous of you during the holiday season. (Laughter.)

(lies)

Edit ...I won't waste my time listening to more LIES!

my handlers did not give me the answer to that question in advance, and I am too moronic to understand anything, so I cannot really answer the question.

everyone's out to trick him

drizzle drazzle drozzle drome
time for this monkey to go home

He believes that everyone in the media is out to make him look foolish by asking him these serious questions...which he can't answer. So he turns the tables by say 'trick question' which makes his base think of all those questions they couldn't answer when the teacher called on them. So the media-type comes off as elitist and 'smarty-pants' while Bush keeps looking like a regular guy. The base never notices that he doesn't actually address the issue at all -- ever. These are serious points the reporter is pursuing but GWB leads them off the trail and they never get back to the point at hand.

I wish the press had as little respect for this clown as I do. I wish every one of them would keep asking the same question (whatever it is), until the clown either leaves the stage in a huff, answers the question, or has nobody to call on but Les Kinsolving.

why are you such a douchebag?

W: Nice trick question.
