Oops! – Bush Unaware Mikes Were Still On – Yahoo! News
When reporters left, Bush spoke about the National Security Agency program that he authorized four years ago and which has drawn criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.
However, the microphones stayed on for a few minutes. That allowed journalists back at the White House to eavesdrop on Bush’s defense of the eavesdropping. His private statements were basically no different from what he’s said in public.
“I want to share some thoughts with you before I answer your questions,” Bush began. “First of all, I expect this conversation we’re about to have to stay in the room. I know that’s impossible in Washington.”
The technician responsible for the gaffe was later taken outside and shot. No, actually, but he’s probably looking for a new job.
An even funnier thought: even when Bush thinks he’s speaking privately to a room full of “friendlies,” he’s still laying down the same old load of crap.
