My take is that the President mistook the question, and the MSM spun the answer. If he were directly asked specifically about the Minutemen now I'd bet his answer would be different.
Ding, ding, ding. The press TRIED to trap him.
Misunderestimated again.
It's not the MSM that are spinning it - conservative websites picked up on it too.
If Bush mistook the question then why hasn't he set the record straight? Why did he use the exact word that President Fox had been using for weeks to describe the Minutemen? Why did Condeleza Rice use almost the exact same words a few days before when asked specifically about the Minutemen?
