On May 20, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said,
"Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he's not a leader. ... He's a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon. ...He has on his shoulders the deaths of many more troops..."
Some very harsh words for our president. Now if you were interviewing Pelosi and you chose to ask her about this quote, what questions would you ask? Think for a moment. What would be the first question you would ask? What else would you want to ask regarding this quote?
OK, keep those questions in mind.
Pelosi was interviewed today on Meet the Press. Tim Russert chose the quote as the first subject of the interview. After presenting the quote, his first two questions were:
[1] What message does this send to the troops in Iraq when the ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives says that the commander in chief is not a leader, has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge? How does that make the troops feel?
[2] What do you think the people leading the resistance in Iraq or al-Qaeda think when they hear the ranking Democrat in the House say that President Bush has no knowledge, no experience, no judgment?
My immediate response to [2] was, "Who gives a fuck what they think?"
But that's why I'm not a politician.
