I'm trying to imagine the tangle-tongued, foot-in-mouth GWB saying something like that. Nope. He wouldn't say that under torture.
His attempts at glibness were awkward; his feighned interest in a reporter wearing a sling was just as bad.
I'm thinking this guy thinks he's a Jack Kennedy in front of the press, but it turns out, at least this time, he fell very flat. They'll cover for him as much as possible, but I don't think he's going to do much live stuff.
With his cult of personality, I figure he's more likely to release videos instead speaking to the press live. He may even require the press to submit their questions ahead of time.
