Bush found clueless as regards 9/11

[Wayne Johnson]

Frances, Frances, Frances.  Puh-lease don't use the word "think" in the same
sentence as the word "Bush" or try to assemble them in some logical order.
The two words are antipodes.  They cancel one another out.  They don't mesh,
don't mingle and don't find any mutual usage.

Otherwise, all is well.  :-)

school visit for thirty minutes after he heard about the crash. What was he
thinking?

of New York<br>City or the state of Missouri would be ok, that is
"survivable".  Definitely<br>worth the risk.<br><br>All the projected
