RED ALERT!

The media is all aquivver over the failure of President Bush's handlers to notify him of the airplane that intruded into restricted airspace over Washington, DC. Well, la de da, it wouldn't have done any good, because George Bush wouldn't have known what to do anyway. Remember 9/11. Bush sat around stupified after being informed of the attack and when he finally realized that he was expected to do something, he got up and jumped onto an airplane and headed for the Rocky Mountains. That's our President. That's our Leader.

I suspect the real reason he wasn't informed in time for a response this time was because his party handlers did not want to be embarrassed if he again displayed his inability to respond in an emergency. Better to keep him in the dark, deal with the problem, and then safely claim that the President hadn't responded because he didn't know anything untoward had happened. Silence can be golden.
