623) [Presidential candidate William] Cozzano maneuvered through [the answer to a tough question] perfectly, delivering an answer that was seemingly erudite, that hit all the key buzzwords [...] and yet was so vague and imprecise that it said practically nothing at all.

Note: "3089/898" is the designation I've given to the project of posting all my collected quotes, excerpts and ideas (3089 of them) in the remaining days of the Bush administration (of which there were 898 left when I began).

As of today, there are 701 days remaining in the administration of the worst American President ever.
