The Second Biggest Piece of Bushit You'll Read Today

Almost as pathetic as Tom Delay's claim that the funds he transferred from TRMPAC to the RNC weren't funds because they were checks was Bush's claim that his defense of Tom Delay was an expression of faith in the judicial system. After exercising his presidential perogative to express an opinion on an investigation in progress, something he insisted he wouldn't do during the Plamegate investigation, he declared Delay innocent. In an interview with Jim Lehrer, Bush said, "The point I was making was 'innocent until otherwise proven." On Wednesday, when asked by Fox News whether he believed Delay innocent, he responded, "Yes, I do."

But then, it was a bad day for the Shrub.
