    Does Bush have dementia?

    Someone in the press corps would have had legitimate grounds to ask that question yesterday. President Bush said that critics say we can still engage in surveillance under FISA, but that's not true because FISA is outdated and has gaps in it blah blah yada yada.

    Couldn't one single member of the press corps have asked if that's the case why did the president tell Congress when they previously offered to update FISA that he already had all the tools he needed.

    Don't these people mind being lied to?
