BUSH: Helen, after that brilliant performance at the Gridiron, I am...

Helen Thomas QUESTION: You're going to be sorry.

(LAUGHTER)

BUSH: Well, then, let me take it back.

Helen Thomas QUESTION: I'd like to ask you, Mr. President -- your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime.

Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true. My question is: Why did you really want to go to war? From the moment you stepped into the White House, your Cabinet officers, former Cabinet officers, intelligence people and so forth -- but what's your real reason? You have said it wasn't oil, the quest for oil. It hasn't been Israel or anything else. What was it?

BUSH: I think your premise, in all due respect to your question and to you as a lifelong journalist -- that I didn't want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong, Helen, in all due respect.

Helen Thomas QUESTION: And...

BUSH: Hold on for a second, please. Excuse me. Excuse me.

No president wants war. Everything you may have heard is that, but it's just simply not true...

No President but you, President Incompetent

Atrios posts the news. The WaPo makes it "official":

Ben Domenech Resigns

"In the past 24 hours, we learned of allegations that Ben Domenech plagiarized material that appeared under his byline in various publications prior to washingtonpost.com contracting with him to write a blog that launched Tuesday.

An investigation into these allegations was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately..."

Dan Froomkin is alive and well.

Plagiarist right-wing blogger, Ben Domenech responds to his early retirement from the Washington Post:

"...But in the course of accusing me of racism, homophobia, bigotry, and even (on one extensive Atrios thread) of having a sexual relationship with my mother, the leftists shifted their accusations to ones of plagiarism. You can find the major examples here: I link to this source only because I believe it's the only place that hasn't yet written about how they'd like to rape my sister.

I know that charges of plagiarism are serious. While I am not a journalist, I have, myself, written more than one thing that has been plagiarized in the past. But these charges have also served to create an atmosphere where no matter what is said on my Red America blog, leftists will focus on things with my byline from when I was a teenager..."

UPDATE: Remember to give love to Dan Froomkin.

UPDATE UPDATE: A reliable yet unnamed source telephoned Senator John Cornyn's Washington D.C. office. The source was transferred to the Senator's Press office. When the source asked the PR guy for a comment from the Senator -regarding his former speech writer's plagiarism- the press office issued this statement:

"The Senator is against plagiarism".

While Ben (Augustine) Domenech was blaming his crimes on a misspent youth yesterday, thousands of students walked out of school and onto the streets of four American cities. They just left class and nobody could stop them for they had the power. After all, chasing a bunch of kids with clubs and teargas doesn't look good on teevee.

They walked. They protested lousy impending immigration legislation. They're doing it again today. They've got the grownups with them and they are showing us all HOW. IT'S. DONE.

Progressive America, you have your marching orders.

Wisconsin Congressman (R) Frank James Sensenbrenner's daddy invented KOTEX!

Poor TEX. Love your product. It must have sucked growing up with all your mean friends calling you that. At one time your dad was CEO of a company that manufactures maxi pads, tampons, baby diapers, adult diapers and toilet paper.

No wonder you are so out of touch with low-paid workers. Kimberly-Clarke products are about the only things they can afford to buy. Nothing wrong with your bottom line.

I was wondering when immigration protesters would march in Texas. You can't see it too well in my screen shot but, even Senator John Cornyn (R -Box Turtle, TX) is scared. Senator Durbin (D -IL) was able to put the Jesus back in immigration legislation. John McCain and Ted Kennedy crossed party lines to come up with a law superior to the cruel one whipped up in the Lower House.

It looks like Jimmy (R -KOTEX) Sensenbrenner's bill might go the way of used toilet paper.

Yeehaw! Viva Tejas!

"I am out of here!"

Does that mean no more WHIG tea parties?
