Setting the Record Straight
So as you know, we at The George's White House occasionally put out some releases that we call Setting the Record Straight to point out gross inaccuracies in the press
coverage of events that concern the White House, such as if they don't use the accurate term for our military action in Iraq, "triumphant liberation." In this case, I have to correct some deceitful editing from NBC News from my interview with Richard Engel. I was called in to talk about my "appeasement" comment about foreign policy and whether it has to do with Barack Obama. And well, you know, I said a lot in that interview, and a lot was cut, and it was, um, deceitful. But there's been one really big part that was nothing like how it really happened.
There's some part where they have me saying that I wanted Barack Obama's "sweet can," and the real version before the editing was that I wanted the "sweet candy gummy Venus de Milo." They have the unedited version on the website and it says it's there on TV, but I really don't think that people should be expected to go to the Web site just to find out that I said I wanted the sweet candy gummy instead of Barack Obama's sweet can. I don't know if it's occurred to NBC News that some of us don't have working computers or don't know how to use them. Like how I've been pressing this right Shift control for ages, and I don't see Judge Alito's approval ratings going up. I think that the distinction between MSNBC with its pundits and NBC News with its supposed reporting is starting to blur when I start to see manufactured storylines like that I want Barack Obama's sweet can. I don't even want to know what's going to happen to that quote of mine about how Sandra Day O'Connor has a fabulous racquetball court but I have to bring the balls.
I also have to apologize for Richard Engel's hair. I take responsibility for this one. I told the guy that we were starting a new reality show, "Rock Star: Duran Duran," and that he should come and compete. This is what also explains that awful part in the full interview when he starts singing about how he's hungry for Middle East diplomacy like the wolf.
So I'm sure that somebody's wondering how I have a female celebrity pictures page with almost 200 galleries that somehow manages to simultaneously lack solo galleries for Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, Evangeline Lilly, Hayden Panettiere, Adriana Lima, Kate Hudson, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Bosworth, Gisele, and every cast member of "The Hills." Now, this is a little odd to miss so many big-name celebrities, and I thought I'd change that, so I added that hot Simpson singer... Ashlee. I've also put up some long overdue pictures in the Lindsay Lohan gallery to remind everyone that I'm not missing every big-name celebrity. The Lindsay Lohan updates are far from done, too. I haven't been doing it because it's impossible to stay organized with her shots since she was always going to the beach instead of... you know, working. And that reminds me that I should head back to the ranch for a little while, but I've got some more coming. Look for a new gallery in the next two days, once I decide on who should fill it.
