President Out Of His Mind On Coke During Watergate

I love it when our President gets an question he *knew* was coming and reacts like a fifth-grader in an unexpected pop quiz.

Q You know, there was an interesting revelation yesterday, Mr. President, about a news story -- a massive news story that took place when I was a pretty young guy. And to those of us who grew up in the late -- got out of college in the late '60s, the Watergate story was a relevant story, and a lot of us have always wondered who Deep Throat might have been. And the mystery was solved yesterday.

Is he a hero?

PRESIDENT BUSH: He was -- it's hard for me to judge. I'm learning more about the situation. All I can tell you is, is that it's -- it was a revelation that caught me by surprise, and I thought it very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading about it, reading about his relationship with the news media. It's a brand-new story for a lot of us who have been wondering a long time who it was. I knew it wasn't you. (Laughter.) You weren't even born during that period.

Q I was, I was born. I was old enough.

You just knew the conservatives would be all over this one. However, if Feld's detractors are G. Gordon Liddy, Pat Buchanan, and Bob Novak, he can go to his grave a happy man - and a hero.
