Answering Questions

TERRY MORAN: May I ask, what went wrong that so many governments and people around the world now not only disagree with you very strongly, but see the U.S. under your leadership as an arrogant power?

THE PRESIDENT: I think if you remember back prior to the resolution coming out of the United Nations last fall, I suspect you might have asked a question along those lines -- how come you can't get anybody to support your resolution. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of doubt as to whether or not we were even going to get any votes, much -- well, we'd get our own, of course. And the vote came out 15 to nothing, Terry. And I think you'll see when it's all said and done, if we have to use force, a lot of nations will be with us.

From last weeks press conference we see this exchange. Since then Terry Moran apparently commented that all the white house press corps were like zombies, in that they loved eating brains. No, actually he meant that they were like Zombies in that they sat there stupefied, and asked the president really dopey questions.

Well, Brent Bozell stepped up to argue that a All Zombie Press Corps would be a good thing. He is offended that President Bush is getting such difficult questions. It's not like back when we had President Clinton, who, I think we all agree, got asked questions about his sexual life for two years. Yep, just because are about to go to war, this is no time for the press corps to do their jobs.
