I didn't know it was possible to stoop lower than whale shit at the bottom of the ocean, but Team Bush is apparently so desperate that they're willing to descend to the upper if not lower mantle. Here's hoping the public is tired of shit for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner:
President George W. Bush scheduled a prime-time speech on the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11 on Monday amid acrimonious election-year debate over whether America is safer and who is to blame for the attacks.
The Oval Office address, marking five years to the hijacked plane attacks that killed almost 3,000 people, is the latest in a series in which Bush has insisted the United States is more secure while still facing an al Qaeda threat.
Bush has been trying to frame a debate on national security to political and policy advantage and keep his Republicans from losing control of the U.S. Congress to Democrats in the November election.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said the Monday speech would not be political and that Bush was not trying to rekindle the warm glow he got from Americans of all political stripes after the attacks, only to lose it along with his high popularity ratings as a result of the Iraq war.
Sure, Tony...
Meanwhile, in a "well, DUH" related story, it turns out that Saddam Hussein viewed Al Qaeda as a threat, according to a Senate Intelligence Committee report...and anyone with a few functioning brain cells who knows even just a little bit about the Middle East.
And Steve M. links to what he describes as a "preview" of the prime time address. As for me, I'll be heading out of town on Monday, and, if all goes to plan, will just be arriving/settling down to a Shrub-less dinner with two very close friends at that hour...
