Parent Teacher Night

Sometimes a teacher just knows someone helped the child with their project as the depth and topic seems so far beyond their interest and abilities.
BUDAPEST, Hungary - President Bush is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hungary's bloody revolt against communist rule one month before traveling to Russia for a summit of industrial democracies that could prove awkward for the American president.

Then again, some of the language obviously shows he did do parts of the project himself.
"I am here to celebrate the 1956 revolution. The idea of a revolution is celebrating the notion that all men and women should be free," Bush said at the start of talks with Hungarian President Laszlo Solyom.

But if we're looking for that person who may have chipped in, might I suggest a look at this guy who so recently exposed his interest and misunderstanding of that era, and seems to have a serious overestimation of the child's depth and abilities.
"It's kind of a tone poem about the 1956 revolution," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "This is mainly about visiting the Hungarian government and paying homage to what they went through 50 years ago."

That's right. According to his new step dad, Georgie is writing tone poems on the meaning of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

Oh, and from the NYTimes, "Aides said Bush was the primary author of the short speech. " We're all so proud of Georgie.

  • Yup. Exactly. Reading the stories around the USAToday phone records story, the leverage they tried to threaten Qwest with was the loss of government contracts(which is illegal by the way) which tells me it's big enough business to make a valid threat.
