Peter,

Not to argue, we have both been here too long to do that. However, I have some observations.

Did you hear one word about the economy? The environment? About corporate scandal? About energy issues (other that Iraq oil fields)? Did you hear one word about domestic problems, other than the "War on Terra"? I did not (not that I really expected to).

You are absolutely correct, he did ramble endlessly. But he kept the discussion pretty much on Iraq. That is because they vetted the reporters' questions days ago. It was scripted, rehearsed in a sound studio, and executed fairly well (relative to Bu$h's checkered record with the press).

I am not defending the asshole. I watched the fiasco hoping he would fall on his face ("shaking like a cat scratching shit on a sidewalk" as I wrote earlier today, or "shaking like an old dog shittin' peach pits" as I wrote last night). He was neither the cat nor the dog. Relative to his capabilities, he was at his best.
