What we should *really* be looking for in tonight's press(ed ham) conf ...
is the tone and demeanor of the 'press'. Bush will be ...... well ... what he always is ... oafish, self-absorbed, obfuscating, lying .... the penultimate dullard.

I'm far more interested in seeing if there's any change in the way the 'press' treats him.

19. Yup -- lots of words like "protect," lots of moralizing
along with lots of blaming Democrats in Congress. He's going for "Father Knows Best" but it comes out as "Father is a Self-Serving, Lying Fascist."

15. Every time he does one of these
I hope he just looses it and does something so totally out of line that he's shipped off to a nut house or something. He's already the laughing stock of half the country and half the world, yet it's barely dented his approval ratings. I can't bring myself to watch these things but I bet you could make a drinking game out of them. Ie. Two sips if a reporter asks a question that is actually significant, etc.

Too bad we won't get the Daily Show's take on this until Monday. I wonder if that was deliberate.

17. Gotta have a **little** wiggle room ... sorta like a
5.9 in the Olympic skating comps .... always leave room for a duller dullard.

18. I understand the concept, I just think in this case it's OK to go ahead
and book junior* as the Ultimate Dullard given his* record of dullness.
