Bush dispatches National Guard to defend the border with RealityIn a move White House staffers describe as an attempt to shore up his remaining support, President Bush last night announced his intention to send National Guard troops to line his administration's increasingly fragile border with Reality...
"We are a nation of laws," Bush declared, although it was unclear if he understood the words. "Reality is always welcome within our borders, when it is willing to cooperate with our laws and obey our commands. But Reality cannot enter this great nation in an uncontrollable tide. Therefore, tonight, I am announcing a comprehensive solution initiative."
The rest is here.

Posted by: Jonathan Versen at May 17, 2006 01:10 AMSadly, I could not find a MSM source to corroborate the use of the word "Reality" in Bush's speech. It's not that I don't believe Mr. Harris, you understand, but I work with a bunch of MSM journalists, who don't believe anything that isn't confirmed by their own.
Can anyone help?
