By now you've seen or heard or read about President Bush's 'Was that mic on?' comment to Tony Blair: "What they need to do is git Syria to git Hizbollah to stop doing this shit, and it’s over."
If you haven't seen the coverage, check
Crooks and Liars for some of the reports.
I personally am not offended by Bush's use of the word 'shit,' nor do I think it is particularly hypocritical for him as a born-again Christian to have said it.
But from the media coverage, you'd think Bush revealed to Blair the secret of faster than light space travel, or the formula for curing AIDS.
No, what he said was, "What they need to do is git Syria to git Hizbollah to stop doing this shit, and it’s over."
NBC's Kelly O'Donnell described that as "extraordinarily candid comments."
"A rather frank and dramatic exchange," said CNN's Ed Henry.
Good lord.
No one in the media seems to notice (or maybe they notice but they don't care) that this isn't candid, frank or dramatic. It's the kind of simplistic blowhard chitchat my relatives exchange during 'NFL Today' commercials. You know... just git 'em to do it. Git someone to git 'em to do it.
Is that the best Bush can do?
