John McCaslin writes (at townhall.com):

President Bush didn't come right out and call the nation's top newspaper editors a bunch of communists Wednesday, but he came pretty close.

"Thank you for having me here, members of the Politburo," Bush deadpanned to newspaper executives at the head table of a gathering of the Newspaper Association of America, the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Associated Press. "I mean, my fellow Americans."


Good Lord ... the Berlin Wall fell fifteen years ago and Bush idea of a half-serious swipe at people he doesn't like is to call people commies. And not just commies -- he compares people who jusr write about stuff to people who actually run things in a communist government.

Or does he not even know what a Politburo is? Is he confusing "Politburo" with Pravda? Would you put it past him not to know one from the other?
