This is what happens when the Shrub slips away from his handlers for a while:quote:
"They didn't think we were a nation that could conceivably sacrifice for something greater than our self, that we were soft, that we were so self-absorbed and so materialistic that we wouldn't defend anything we believed in. My, were they wrong. They just were reading the wrong magazine, or watching the wrong Springer show," said Bush.

I saw this article earlier, and I honestly don't understand it's newsworthiness.
He is saying that the Jerry Springer show reflects an atypical attitude of the majority of Americans, one that is base and ridiculous.
Sounds about right to me...

Like the Taliban et al gives a rat's wazoo about TV talk shows or the similiar magazines (something that they and I can agree on).
I no longer pay Smirky a lot of attention. He's no longer funny and when he says something, he either scares hell out of me or bores me out of my gourd. I much prefer having him filtered as second hand news.

From the article:
quote:

Before 9/11, like, duh, of course we wouldn't. That'd mean doing something which required exerting ourselves, like doing chores. *Yuck*
