From Slate, by way of The All-Seeing Eye Of Froomkin:
[P]ress secretary Tony Snow stepped into the doorway to ask about the daily press briefing he was about to conduct. Bush offered some suggestions for how to defer questions about his Iraq strategy.
“Good. Perfect. Sorry to interrupt,” Snow said as he vacated the room.
“It’s okay,” remarked Bush. “This is worthless, anyway.” Then, in a sudden bellow: “I’d like an ice cream! Please! You want some ice cream, Robert?”
…And then they went out to the White House lawn to shoot at birds with BB guns.
Can we please get a grown-up in the White House now? I’m begging here.
