So if a reporter asks you "Do you still beat your wife?" that's ok? It's amazing to me that those who so viciously attack prepared statements tend to be the ones first in line to defend the statement "It all depends on the definition of IS"

I just checked the Irish interview with Mr. Bush, the last segment (10:40 ->) is the best.
quote: Bush: - Like Iraq, the palestinian and the Israeli issue is going to require...good security measures- Carol Coleman: - And a bit more evenhandedness from America?? - Ab...meh...*noticeable grunt*...we're working on security measures, and America -I'm the first president to ever have called for a palestinian state *preen*, that's, to me, sounds like a reasonably balanced approach.
Interviewer - Mr. President, the Irish people are upset about the death toll in Iraq.
Answer - Americans are a compassionate people.
----
Interviewer - Mr. President, you didn't find any WMD?
Answer - We found that Saddam Hussein had a capacity for him to make a weapon. Did I mention Saddam was a bad man?
----
Interviewer - Mr. President, the world is more dangerous today post-Iraq invasion tan before.
Answer - Don't you remember September 11, 2001? I needed to work that in there somewhere. And other post Iraq invasion bombings around the world have nothing to do with what I did in Iraq. Nothing at all.
----
Interviewer - Mr. President, are you satisfied with the level of support you're getting from Europe? We both know no one other than Tony Blair supported you.
Totally Delusional Answer - Most of Europe supported the decision to invade Iraq. Except the French. You�re talking about the French aren�t you?
----
Interviewer - Mr. President, doesn't a solution to the to the Middle East mean doing something to solve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis and shouldn't you be doing something about it?
Totally Delusional Answer - There's a democracy in Turkey. And an emerging in Afghanistan. And a democracy in Pakistan. Democracy can emerge in the Palestinian state.

The train bombings in Madrid had nothing to do with invasion of Iraq?!! Is he serious?!!

She wasn't talking about democracy, specifically. Plus--Pakistan has a democracy? He should have said a semi-democracy, if he wanted to be truthful. But we can't insult our allies, now can we?
I wonder how many times he rehearsed the answers? I think that is what was irritating him so much....a question during speech could have made him look even sillier.

The best is when she says "more evenhandedness" in midsentence and he is noticeably irritated but can't stop the sentence he's already started.
