Hehe, it was a question he couldn't answer; but received the political advantage of having hearing it asked! Brilliant - both of you!

I don't blame him for not answering the first part....but I am sure Bush DID enjoy hearing it asked in any case...:) The reason why I think he did not answer is that he only gets tough in extreme cases and while this would qualify in my book, he only uses his ammo when it REALLY gets awful. Also, he just does not want the country to have to see an AP story saying "Bush bashes Daschle and Daschle returns barbs" or stuff like that. I hope he did answer the second part of the question though....he better have answered that since there is no excuse on that one....:)
