Gov. Flightsuit Speaks... 

ABCNEWS.com : Transcript: Bush News Conference Q & A
QUESTION: Mr. President, why are you and the vice president insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission?

And, Mr. President, who will we be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?

BUSH: We'll find that out soon. That's what Mr. Brahimi is doing. He's figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing sovereignty over.

And, secondly, because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE) I was asking why you're appearing together, rather than separately, which was their request.

BUSH: Because it's a good chance for both of us to answer questions that the 9/11 Commission is looking forward to asking us. And I'm looking forward to answering them.
Answer the question Governor. Why can't you appear without your babysitter?
