E&P asks if Dick Cheney is the new Baghdad Bob. And is there really any reason to watch GWB's Iraq speech tonight? There won't be anything new -- no breaking news -- just a rehash of all the latest justifications for invading Iraq: freedom yada yada yada, stay the course yada yada yada or you're a traitor. TVNewser as of 9:17 this morning reported that two of the three big networks and even Fox were undecided as to whether or not they would put their reruns on hold and carry Bush's speech live.
Updating yesterday's post: "CBS, NBC and Fox all said they would decide sometime Tuesday whether to carry the speech," Paul Gough reports. "Concerns centered on the potential newsworthiness of the speech and the fact that it was being given not in the Oval Office but far from Washington."
BTW, a new poll says most Americans want the president to be "flexible" on Supreme Court nominees. But since when does Bush care what most Americans want? After all, he's the president of the Free Republic.
