"I would urge all of you to very carefully think through how much you want to pursue this," then-press secretary Ari Fleischer warned menacingly. After a Houston Chronicle reporter asked Fleischer if the president had talked to his daughters about substance abuse, Fleischer later called the reporter to say, ominously, that his question had been "noted in the building."It occurs to me that in the summer of 2001 the press was starting to get pretty mean toward the Bushes, and that perhaps the terrorist attacks of 9-11-01 constituted our collective "punishment."
