Bush fesses up
Today, an Irish journalist asked Bush if he thought God was guiding him in his war on terror. Part of his answer was: "Don't try to take a speck out of your eye if I've got a log in my own."
- George Bush
6/25/2004
Here is the verse from Matthew Bush was thinking of:
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Strange that Bush would think of that verse while thinking about what God thinks of his war on terror.
UPDATE: 6/26: The White House is angry that the Irish interviewer, Carole Coleman, asked hard questions and tried to keep Bush on topic when he wandered off. The gist of the short article:
THE White House has lodged a complaint with the Irish Embassy in Washington over RTE journalist Carole Coleman's interview (RealPlayer) with US President George Bush.
... The Irish Independent learned last night that the White House told Ms Coleman that she interrupted the president unnecessarily and was disrespectful ... She also received a call from the White House in which she was admonished for her tone.
And it emerged last night that presidential staff suggested to Ms Coleman as she went into the interview that she ask him a question on the outfit that Taoiseach Bertie Ahern wore to the G8 summit.
