Those Darned Bush-Bashers

President Bush and his coterie are notoriously dismissive of people who question them.




So here is a news quiz taken from separate stories in Wednesday’s New York Times:



(a) What political figure said that– contrary to the President’s claims – Bush’s Medicaid drug plan has experienced startup problems?


(b) What political figure said that – contrary to claims by the President and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld – American troop levels might have to be increased in Iraq to deal with the sectarian killings?


The answers:



(a) President Bush himself.


(b) Secretary Rumsfeld himself.


You could look it up, as Yogi Berra says.
