Why does the White House even have a press room?Q Would the President seek an explicit green light from Congress if he intended to bomb or attack Iran, or does he think he has that right?
MS. PERINO: Well, Helen, there is no intention of bombing Iran. We are on a diplomatic track. We are working with our partners, the U.N. Security Council. We have provided them, the Iranians, a road map to get to a civil nuclear program. They have walked away from that. We are hoping that they'll come back. We are both working with our U.N. Security Council partners as well as pursuing sanctions on our own, and there is not an intention to bomb Iran, as you said.
Q Does the President think he has the right to do it without going through Congress?
MS. PERINO: That is -- it's a hypothetical situation, Helen. I'm not going to answer it.
Q It's not hypothetical. It's concrete.
MS. PERINO: Go ahead. Sarah.

Ha! In every sense of the word!
No, no... Bush is hypocritical, not hypothetical. As to Bush's Brain, he may have left the pay of the White House, but I don't believe for a minute that he's really gone.
No. Rove is not gone. He's contaminated so much of the political scene that even after bleaching and festooning silver crosses and garlic about the White House, it will be years before his presence is purged.
