The beauty of it is, you are both wrong!

[The_Rorschach]

I knew it was C, but I was sooo hopeful it would be A.

[sspadowsky]

I do have to know which one it really was.

I was going to guess B, but C wouldn't surprise me. Where did the quote come from?
________
Glass pipes

[mburbank]

C is correct. I got it off the AP wire. Garner was complaining about the media giving so much attention to anti-American protests in Iraq.

I'm glad Garner is already proving to be an accomplished statesman and diplomat.

They made fun of this on the Daily Show last night


*edit* speaking of the Daily Show they did a funny "Bush vs. Bush" debate. I think they might still have a clip of it on their Web site
