A good news summary from Jon Stewart The Daily Show this past week, regarding the Bush press conference. The whole video clip is pretty funny, but I guess my favorite moment was this:
Bush (video clip): Remember on our TV screens -- I'm not suggesting which network did this -- but it said, "March to War," every day from last summer until the spring -- "March to War, March to War." That's not a very conducive environment for people to take risk, when they hear, "March to War" all the time.
Stewart: Yeah, it wasn't like there was some asshole actually leading us to war or anything!
The whole press conference wasn't quite as sad as the scripted one prior to the war, but I think Bushco realizes that they needn't bother with a script. The White House press whores won't ask the tough questions. Bush won't give coherent, consistent answers to even the softball questions, and the whole thing is reported in the 12th paragraph on page 18A or relegated to a "tsk tsk" editorial. Thanks, liberal media!

Rich and I have found John Stewart's opening commentary this week just hilarious. It's been a good week for people like Stewart. Lots of good material handed to them on a silver platter. I've been wondering if Ari Fleischer stepped down as White House Press Secretary because he saw the future and bailed at the first real opportunity.
