Interns Fill Seats at Bush’s Last Presser
Awwwww, poor Still President Bush. Looks like nobody came to say goodbye to him:
With seven days left until he surrenders power, Bush will have to do a heck of a sales job to convince the nation of this. Further complicating his last-minute legacy rehabilitation: Nobody seems to be paying attention. The White House had high expectations for yesterday’s final, historic news conference. “ONE CORRESPONDENT PER ORGANIZATION,” proclaimed the bulletin sent to reporters. “STANDING ROOM ONLY FOR NON-SEAT HOLDERS.” But when the appointed hour of 9:15 a.m. arrived, the last two rows in the seven-row briefing room were empty, and a press aide told White House interns to fill those seats.
Heh heh. George W. Bush will not be missed by anyone. On a more positive note, this time next week Barack Obama will be president.
(I will never get tired of this video so deal with it for the rest of the week.)
