Things a President Can't Say

I don't think he's stupid.

It reminds me of the time, during the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings about Bill Clinton, when Clinton lawyer David Kendall questioned Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr. Kendall asked something based on an accusation raised by Sidney Blumenthal, raised when Blumenthal illegally revealed grand jury proceedings. Starr, whose office was in charge of that grand jury, could not legally admit that such testimony even took place.

Kendall, in other words, had asked a corrupt question. Starr was as angry as I have ever seen him, and recited the substance of the grand jury statute to Kendall. That was all he could do.

As President Bush listens to John Kerry repeatedly do the same thing, it's no wonder his face wrinkles up in a disgusted scowl.
