The Decider...Thinking Out Loud

The Decider, speaking at a gathering of minority journalists in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 6, 2004, with tangled synapses and mangled syntax on full display:

"Mr. President...what do you think tribal sovereignty means in the twenty-first century, and how do we resolve conflicts between tribes and the federal and state governments?"

"Yeah, uh, tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. It's---you're a---you're a ---you've been given sovereignty and you're---viewed as a s-s-s-sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and---tribes is one between---s-sovereign entities."

That was three years ago. If you think he's gotten any sharper than you must be among the twenty-nine percent that comprise "the base."

To further quote the Chimp : "There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, "Fool me once---shame on---shame on you;---(awkward pause)---you fool me, (you) can't get fooled again."

Oh, how he makes me proud.
