'Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,'' Bush said. ''They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.''
Now -- this is probably an honest mistake. He said something different than he intended to say. Sure. What I find truly funny about this is thus:
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement ''just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak.''
''But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it,'' McClellan said.
To which I respond the American people most certainly do not know that.
