That's what happens when you hire a FOX news anchor as a press secretary

Jeebus H. Christ on a popsicle stick! They really don't get it. From Think Progress comes perhaps the most deluded statement from the Bush administration's Tony Snow one could possibly imagine.

QUESTION: Tony, the president obviously, though, did not read what happened November 7th as a mandate to start bringing troops home.
SNOW: The president believes that — if you take a look at the elections, you can read any number of messages. I mean, when people were asked in exit interviews what was their top concern, Iraq was number four; corruption was number one.

Well, yeah. The US mid-term elections also gave Bush a mandate to paint all green frogs pink and have sex with porcupines, but is he using it?
