BUMILLERISM AT TIME MAGAZINE

(Via Atrios)

Elisabeth Bumiller is a NY Times reporter who claimed "And stop the fussing! You can say Mr. Bush’s statement was not factually accurate. You can’t say the president is lying—that’s a judgment call."

At TIME, you can't even say "not factually accurate"!

It was probably a slip of the tongue by President Bush, who continued his Middle East tour by arriving in Kuwait today. During a roundtable interview with Arab journalists before leaving Washington, he made a curious statement while he was lauding political reforms by pro-U.S. rulers in the conservative Gulf countries. "You know," he said, "women are now very active in the Kuwaiti parliament." Well, no woman has ever been elected to the Kuwaiti parliament.


Why couldn't TIME has written "Bush blunders again"?
