King George confused about Gonzo controversy.




It's the liquor, folks...




At the risk of spurring another conversation with James Joyner about whether or not the president is dumb, Bush’s apparent understanding of the controversy surrounding Alberto Gonzales is rather startling. At a press conference yesterday, he seems to fundamentally misunderstand what’s going on in Washington.

Q: Mr. President, I want to take you back to domestic issues again. You say the no-confidence vote has no bearing as to whether Alberto Gonzales remains as Attorney General. How can he continue to be effective? And it seems like you’re not listening to Congress when it comes to Gonzales, but you are listening to Congress when it comes to Peter Pace.

BUSH: Yes, it’s an interesting comment about Congress, isn’t it, that, on the one hand, they say that a good general shouldn’t be reconfirmed, and on the other hand, they say that my Attorney General shouldn’t stay. And I find it interesting.

It is so obvious that he has lost his last handler with comments like that.
