The same AP reporter used to address Bill Clinton as "My Lord."

W is more than a little testy right now, just like most of us, impatiently waiting for the gloves to come off.

The transcript will likely be on the White House web site later today.

It will also be interesting to read the AP report, just to see who the reporter was. My money is on Ron Fournier.

I didn't catch his name. But he didn't waste a second rephrasing his question.

What's wrong with using "Sir" instead of Mr. President.

At least he didn't omit any respectful title.

"Sir" is better than nothing at all.

And I doubt this guy was military

Actually, I didn't like it. That's the first time I ever heard him say something like that...he isn't a king, and addressing him as sir was good enough! Shame on GWB!

The media calls him "Mr Bush" on the nightly reports sometimes.

It is an intentional slight borne of disrespect.

I received the following in an email recently. As I'm cubicle bound by day, I didn't see news coverage of the event described. Do any of you know, did this really happen:

Rumsfeld: Kennedy 'All Wet' About Bush Lies

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told Sen Edward M.
Kennedy yesterday that he was "all wet" when the
Senator alleged that the Bush administration lied
about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to justify
going to war.

The verbal clash came during Mr. Rumsfeld's testimony
at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing probing
the state of pre-war intelligence.

Sen. Kennedy began his questioning of the Defense
Secretary by saying, "Don't you think some members of
the Bush administration should be held legally
accountable for the lies they told about Iraqi
weapons, and the subsequent cover-up?"

"First, with all due respect Senator Kennedy, you're
all wet," said Mr. Rumsfeld . "The administration has
not lied or covered up. However, in general I do
believe that when a man commits a crime he should face
the bar of justice. He should not be allowed to serve
in positions of power in our government, and be hailed
as a leader, when the question of his guilt remains
unresolved, if you know what I mean."

"I'm sure I do not know what you mean," Mr. Kennedy
said. "But the American people deserve to know why you
can't find Saddam's weapons of mass destruction."

"Sometimes things are hard to find, even when you know
where they are," said Mr. Rumsfeld. "For example, I've
heard of a man who missed a bridge and drove his car
into the water, even though he knew where the bridge
was.

And then sometimes you just keep diving into a problem
and despite repeated efforts, you come up empty
handed. That doesn't mean that nothing's there.

As you know, eventually, the truth comes to light."

Having no further questions, Mr. Kennedy yielded the
remainder of his time.

Typical. The press considers that addressing the president by his rightful title confers an advantage to him during this election year.

They did the same thing to his dad. Thats why he is quick to correct them.
