… ‘cuz he’s on a roll.
In addition to our appointed leader’s inadvertant speaking of the actual truth yesterday, in which he said…
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
… we’ve got another classic hot on it’s heels. Check out Bush’s response to a question posed to him by Mark Trahant from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, at the UNITY: Journalists of Color Convention this morning, regarding the sovereignty of Native American tribes …
Q: Most school kids learn about the government in the context of city, county, state and federal. And, of course, tribal governments are not part of that at all. Mr. President, you’ve been a governor and a President, so you have a unique experience, looking at it from two directions. What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century, and how do we resolve conflicts between tribes and the federal and the state governments?
THE PRESIDENT: Tribal sovereignty means that, it’s sovereign. You’re a — you’ve been given sovereignty, and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities.
Can’t you just hear him saying that? Realizing he doesn’t actually know what the word “sovereign” means, but fumbling his way through anyway? I honestly wish someone was making this stuff up. How many more days until the election, again?
