This little tidbit caught my eye.
...when Bush talked about the Kremlin's crackdown on the media and explained that democracies require a free press, the Russian leader gave a rebuttal that left the President nonplussed. If the press was so free in the U.S., Putin asked, then why had those reporters at CBS lost their jobs? Bush was openmouthed. "Putin thought we'd fired Dan Rather," says a senior Administration official. "It was like something out of 1984."
If Putin thinks that Bush fired the CBS execs, he is without a clue as to how this country runs. I'm sure there are time when Bush wishes he could fire some news executives.
