humorous look at Italian politics (bilingual)Thursday, March 25, 2004
Reading the transcript of Richard Clarke's 9/11 commission testimony I wonder about the state of the presidential jockey shorts.
I was inspired by Dave Barry's column "Red Shorts Over Panama" (http:// google it yourself) in which he inquired about the nature of President George H.W. Bush's underpants.
I am pretty sure that The President pissed his pants when Clarke apologised for his failure to prevent 9/11. I am also quite sure that he shitted them before Clarke finished. But when ?
Was it when Clarke swore he would not work in the Kerry administration and a reverential silence fell over the room ?
Was it when Clarke explained that special assistants to the president are not expected to express their personal opinions to journalists and have more time to pack their things if they resign than if they spend a briefing dumping on the president. And the audience laughed ?
Was it when Clarke said "I don't think it's a question of morality at all; I think it's a question of politics," and the audience applauded ? When was the last time the audience applauded a witness under oath on TV ? And they applauded Clarke for saying his actions were guided by politics not morality !
In any case, I'm sure that, bBy the time Gov Thomson left the room the presidential undies were as full of it as the Bush administratios attacks on Clarke.
