[WI Conservative 4 Bush]

Do you get the idea that the President had 'prepared remarks' for the speech today??

I think the author mentions it 3 times. Wassup with that?

Maybe this report is based on a print out of the prepared remarks, not the speech itself, which would allow them to get the story out while the speech is going on. So by continually referencing the prepared remarks, they cover themselves if he deviates. Just a guess.

This is a very biased article! Go back and read the insertions abut what "Bush failed to mention"!

[geopyg]

And not only were theY "prepared"....... they were written by a ---gasp---SPEECHWRITER!

Subtle way to remind people he's not Mr. Articulate?

Of course, when Kerry goes off his prepared remarks, he makes Dubya look like Shakespeare.

Bush did not mention the election-year tempest over unexplained gaps in his service in the Guard

.....but no mention of the fake memos, and.....

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, addresses the same group Thursday.

that should tell us all we need to know about this "journalist/reporter"

[expatpat]

I think he's distinguishing between a report based on the pre-released script and one based on the speech itself.

Nor did the author mention the sustained applause and cheers received by the President at the National Guard event.
