oh, this is so good

Bush won't "negotiate with himself"

In Washington, there are plenty of ways to say "no comment," but President George W. Bush offered his own formulation, after he refused to "negotiate with myself in public."

Asked to explain one facet of his Social Security policy, Bush agreed but said, "I will try to explain how without negotiating with myself. It's a very tricky way to get me to play my cards. I understand that."

the continuing political "humor" that we can expect to be treated to over the next 4 years is definitely a silver lining.
