If it's true

If it's true, as Sheila V. Kumar reported yesterday through Associated Press, that George W. Bush will not visit Denver this weekend because Julian Assange was invited to attend one of the same events, and, as Bush spokesman David Sherzer is reported to have said, "Bush doesn't want to be part of a forum that invited someone who has 'willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States,'" then one has to ask:

How could George W. Bush be part of any forum to which he himself was invited? If he attended, he'd be there with himself, someone who willfully did great harm to the United States.
