Staying the course? Yes. I mean no. Uhhh, hang on a sec...
Think Progress has a doublespeak double whammy from Bush, Rumsfeld, and Tony Snow.
Bush, on Meet the Press, Oct. 22: "We've never been stay the course, George [Stephanopolous]!"
Rumsfeld, speaking with Sean Hannity, Oct. 24: "[Bush is] not backing away from ’stay the course.’”
Tony Snow apparently decided to tell Fox News that Bush is stay the course, he's just not that stay the course: ". . .we went back and looked today and could only find eight times where he [Bush] ever used the phrase stay the course.”
Wouldn't you know that some enterprising staffer at Think Progress spent about half a minute on the Internets and came up with a slightly large figure-- like 30.
