Bush: More Pie, Even Bluer Sky

I'll keep looking for a transcript, but so far the best summary of the Bush "address" to the Air Force Academy--coupled with another fundraiser where folks paid as much as $15,000 a plate (no word on whether or not they were permitted to use forks and knives)--I managed to find is here.

You know, just as Rummy explored his inner anarchist in the days immediately following the fall of Saddam (remember the "freedom is a messy thing"?), now Bush comes to grips with his inner naiive idealist in calling for "democracy and freedom" as if this could be accomplished in Iraq with a smirk, a snicker, and a repackaged IGC which promises, what, 20 percent more representation and 10 percent less repression than the previous government? The absurdities keep multiplying.
