Bob Somerby is right – it is shockingly lazy that Bob Scheiffer didn’t look up the exact quote for this question:

QUESTION 18 (of 20): Mr. President, let’s go to a new question. You were asked before the invasion, or after the invasion, of Iraq if you’d checked with your dad. And I believe, I don’t remember the quote exactly, but I believe you said you had checked with a higher authority. I would like to ask you, what part does your faith play on your policy decisions?

How can a professional network host not bother to check what Bush had actually said? What if he had gotten it wrong?

And on the subject of laziness, I continue to see able-bodied Duke students using the wheelchair access button on their way into the gym because they’re too lazy to open the door without assistance. No wonder our society is getting so fat.
