"The Decider" President Bush, facing growing criticism over his job as chief executive and the handling of the Iraq war agreed to an interview with talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh, who is famously supportive of Bush and all Neocons was expected to give Bush an easy ride, but that did not happen. Totally out of character, Limbaugh immediately and aggressively launched into a series of hard-hitting questions.
LIMBAUGH: "Mr. President, you have received a lot of criticism for the job you are doing in Iraq. How would you answer your critics?"
BUSH: "I wouldn't. My critics don't know a damned thing. I listen to all the intelligence carefully. If I like it, I act accordingly. If I don't, I do as I must. As you know I'm a decider, not a uniter."
LIMBAUGH: " Well, on that point Mr. President, many people say you just don't care, or are ambivalent. Are you ambivalent about things?"
BUSH: "Am I ambivalent? Well, yes and no. I'm not sure how to answer that. And anyway, anybody who is in a position to serve this country ought to understand the consequences of words."
LIMBAUGH: "Your critics claim you go after anyone who disagrees with you and try to destroy them personally."
BUSH: "Look, I'm the War President, see? This is war time, see? I will protect our country. If I have to personally destroy someone who doesn't like the way I do it, well he never should have disagreed with me in the first place."
LIMBAUGH: "Well, yes sir. But many say this is an unnecessary war, a war of choice and a war which did not have to happen."
BUSH: "I already told you my critics don't know what the hell they are talking about. Of course this war had to happen. In case you don't remember, there were all those WMD's and stuff."
LIMBAUGH: "Well, Mr. President, you used WMD's as the reason to invade Iraq. Since none have been found, do you still believe you did the right thing?"
BUSH: "Of course I do. You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror. Just because no WMD's have been found doesn't mean they aren't there. We know they are buried somewhere in the desert, and just because we may never find them doesn't mean I was wrong. Besides, look at all the freedom and democracy we have brought to Iraq!"
LIMBAUGH: "But, Mr. President, the people in Iraq say they are lot's worse off now than before the war. Many even wish Saddam was still in power."
BUSH: "Those Iraqis don't have the foggiest notion of what's good for them. I'm the decider remember, and I've decided they are going to have freedom and democracy whether they like it or want it or not."
LIMBAUGH: "What about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame affair. Did you have a hand in that controversy?"
BUSH: "I did not. I turned that over to Vice President Cheney. If there was any dirty work involved, Dickie did it. I think that the vice president is a person reflecting a half-glass-full mentality."
LIMBAUGH: "But, you will take personal responsibility won't you?"
BUSH: "Hell no! Why should I? I never took personal responsibility for anything in my life. Dick knew what he was doing. Wilson is lucky Dick didn't decide to just shoot him."
LIMBAUGH: "Well, Mr. President, I'm going to ask you about all those 'presidential findings' you are signing. More than all the rest of all the presidents in history put together. To the public is seems like you are trying to circumvent the law."
BUSH: "That's just not true. I obey the law. But, if the law gets in the way of doing my job I have to find a way to get it done another way even if some people might think it's illegal. I'm the War President you know. I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one."
LIMBAUGH: "Well, Mr. President, it's been said that you have lost the trust of the American people. What do you have to say about that?"
BUSH: "Well, there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it."
LIMBAUGH: "Mr. President, I'm sure our listeners will . . . ."
BUSH: (Interrupting): "Look Rush. Seems like I'm wasting my time with you here. When are you going to ask me the real questions?"
LIMBAUGH: "Mr. president, I am asking you the re . . ."
BUSH: (Interrupting): "No hell you're not! You're asking me a bunch of questions just like you were some unpatriotic Democrat! I'm outta here."
LIMBAUGH: "But Mr. President . . ."
BUSH: (interrupting): "Sayonara you traitor!"
