Bush chides press for 'silly' Iraq obsession By Bill Sammon THE WASHINGTON TIMES

MEDFORD, Ore. — President Bush believes "the press looks silly" for obsessing over Iraq in its coverage of a meeting on a different topic — missile defense — that he held with military advisers this week, said White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer.

"The press yesterday and the day before reached an absurd point of self-inflicted silliness," Mr. Fleischer told reporters aboard Air Force One. "A self-inflicted point of silliness that goes beyond the usual August hype..."


True, they could be obsessing about sharks or blowjobs. Important stuff.
