Bush cries

You know how little kids act when they aren't getting the attention they crave? They pout, and sulk, and cry? Well check this out:

Speaking to reporters at his Crawford, Texas ranch, Bush seemed miffed this week when one asked him about the recall election in California. The reporter prefaced the question by describing it as the "biggest political story in the country."

That phrase caught the president's attention and he just couldn't let it go.

Bush: "It is the biggest political story in the country? That's interesting. That says a lot. That speaks volumes."

Reporter: "Means you don't agree?"

Bush: "I don't get to decide the biggest political story. You decide the biggest political story. But I find it interesting that that is the biggest political story in the country, as you just said."

Pressed on the matter, Bush said, "Oh, I think there's maybe other political stories. Isn't there, like, a presidential race coming up?"

Hmmm....

The best part is his whining, "I don't get to decide the biggest political story. You decide the biggest political story." Because, as we all already know, it's all about him.

And if he's not the center of attention, he pouts.
