Sheltered Much?

| 3 Comments

From Larry King's Bush interview last night....

KING: Doesn't it hurt to say more people are -- don't like what I'm doing than like what I'm doing?

G. BUSH: Well...

KING: Does it bother you?

L. BUSH: Not really. I mean, the polls are just...

KING: But it's a sign.

L. BUSH: It's a sign, but it's not necessarily really what we see. I mean, when we travel around the country, when we visit with people, that's not what we hear all the time. When they're good polls -- I think I told you this the last time I interviewed with you, you don't see them on the front page.

I dunno, kids, maybe if you didn't force protestors to be several blocks away from you where you can't see them, and if your public appearances were actually open to the public and not just people who are known to support you, and if you didn't pre-screen in advance "random questions from the public" so as to ensure that they were going to be Bush-friendly... maybe, just maybe, you might see and hear something different from what you presently hear "all the time".

If you're going to surround yourself with yes-men, and only visit echo chambers, and use the Secret Service to keep dissenting opinion miles away from you, then -- go figure -- you're not going to hear much in the way of "dissenting opinion".

We want more AMERICAN IDOL coverage! We want more AMERICAN IDOL coverage! What the heck has this blog come to?

I really wonder about his guy. Is he just trying to spin, or does he honestly not understand how deeply the public disapproves of him?

I wonder if he has a lot of minds on his thought? Or maybe just too fluent to be articulated. But then being president of United States and America is a tank-less task.
