Say what you will about the blogosphere... But you can't say there is a lack of diversity.

I tried real-time commentary, and the definitive results are back: my real-time commentary sucks.

In all honesty, I don't really believe that he dodged all the questions. I mean, most of the questions were the same. I just wish he had answered them better.

I would like him to have said: "Ahmmm...does anyone have a question for me that doesn't imply that I directly ordered the attacks on the WTC?"

While I do think he dodges questions, I also think it was because he was getting fed up with the same thing over and over again. He just should have called the press on it, in my opinion. It was obvious, to me anyway, that they were all looking to trip him up anyway.

I did great. He was passionate, reassuring, direct, believable. I like this guy. I want him to finish his job killing our enemies. Bush is a good guy. He's one of us.

Tie Not for nothing, but shouldn't Bush have worn a tie that didn't reflect a rainbow on to the screen? I thought they tested that kind of stuff. [Update:] Here is the full transcript of President Bush's opening statements. Strangely the

Post Press Conference
President Bush's resolve was unmistakable tonight. Critics will call it pig-headedness while supporters (like me) will call it standing firm.

My Fellow Americans...
Outside the Beltway has a nice roundup of commentary on Bush’s press conference tonight. My first impression was that he needs to fire his wardrobe person, as he had a horrible case of the Magical Rainbow Flickering Tie™. But all...

Round Up of Reactions to Bush
Personally, I thought Bush's speech tonight was canned, uninspired and too general. Here is what the Blogosphere thought: Wizbang fill-in Paul said "Making the election about the war on terror is the biggest thing he could do to help his...
