No nose for news
The Washington Times
Inside The Beltway For May 12 Has this little tidbit:
President Bush is no news junkie, or so he informs The Washington Times senior White House correspondent Bill Sammon.
"I don't watch the nightly newscasts on TV, nor do I watch the endless hours of people giving their opinion about things," Mr. Bush says in one of several intriguing chapters of Mr. Sammon's new book, "Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry and the Bush Haters."
"I don't read the editorial pages; I don't read the columnists," Mr. Bush says.
In fact, the president says he gets his unofficial news by "scanning" four morning papers: "I get the newspapers — the New York Times, The Washington Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today — those are the four papers delivered."
Emerson's View:
It's no damn wonder the Democrats think he's uninformed. Look at the papers he has delivered.
