I bet it's a humdinger. I think President Bush is going to make some news tonight, news that the MSM cannot ignore, and news that will make them sorry they did not carry the speech.

I would give anything to have him do something that would wipe that smug look off Cici Connolly's face.

That's what i'm thinking.

I'd love to see media big wigs drop their martini's and then switch over their coverage, but it's way too late, and all the American people hear is

"....and in conclusion, We caught Bin Laden.
Dick Cheney just cured cancer and aids.
Colin Powell is currently meeting with the alien ambassadors from Alpha Centari on board our Light Speed Star Cruiser, the USSS Texas.
And I'm goin' ta Disneyland.
Good night, and may God continue to bless America."

I don't need to hear or see the speech to know what the punditocracy's conventional wisdom quickly will become:

Bush's "performance" was weak and his speaking style lacked lofty concepts. (Cue Peggy Noonan)

He didn't say what he "should" have said — but whatever he did say, he had to because of his sinking poll numbers. (Cue Tim Russert)

How dare Bush not say what I said he should say! (Cue Chris Matthews)

The President said such and so, but do you think the American people believe him? (Cue Katie/Diane/Charlie/Matt, etc.)

I hope you're right. :)

forgive my ignorance, but what does MSM stand for?
