Quotes of the Day from TAPPED: "BUSH'S BAD PRESS DAY. Forget Dubya's baloney proposal for accounting reform, and check out his disasterous press conference defending his role at Harken. This was a real turning point for him. Yesterday, for the first time in his presidency, Bush needs the press to play nice. But they won't, because Bush has treated most of them like crap from day one. Now it's payback time. "

"You can also get a sense of what a disaster-in-the-making Bush will be when he starts having to defend himself more often at unscripted press conferences. He's a walking gaffe. Best detail: How the assembled reporters "tittered" when Bush claimed, preposterously, that the SEC's inquiry into Harken amounted to an "honest disagreement about accounting procedures." Remember that phrase. It'll come back. "

We can only hope!
