Bush to Limit Interview with 9/11 Panel to an Hour

This is so disgusting that I can't even comment on it:

The panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on the United
States will get one hour to ask President Bush what he knew about
events leading up to the suicide airline hijackings, the White House
said on Friday.
"They are looking at an hour as you pointed out," White House spokesman
Scott McClellan said when asked by a reporter whether he could confirm
reports that Bush was limiting the meeting to an hour.
Rather than sitting down with all 10 members of the so-called 9/11
commission, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have only agreed to
meet privately with its chairman, Thomas Kean, and the vice chairman,
Lee Hamilton.
The panel would prefer that Bush meet with all of the members.

UPDATE: You know, I was just thinking about it, and I came up
with a quick list of things that President Bush does that take more
than an hour. I wonder if Americans (let alone victims' family members)
think these things are more important than talking to the 9/11
commission:

• Jogging

• Talking to Tim Russert on Meet the Press

• Going to the Daytona 500

• Vacationing

• Campaigning at taxpayer expense

• Prancing around on an aircraft carrier

• Carrying a fake turkey around Baghdad International Airport for 4 hours

• Meeting with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to discuss the dollar's weakness against the euro
