I confess that I do not comprehend the theory that Bush would be embarrassed if Alito were not confirmed before the SOTU speech. The SOTU speech is Bush's opportunity to focus the attention of the nation on his message.
By providing the MSM with a competing headline line story (particularly a negative one) Bush's message would be partially obscured.
The embarrassment would be that Bush is unable to choreograph an important moment such as the confirmation of a supreme court justice or the SOTU address.

The embarrassment would be that Bush is unable to choreograph an important moment such as the confirmation of a supreme court justice or the SOTU address. The plain fact is that journalism is liberal, and journalism can trumpet or bury stories at will. If any Republican president doesn't adapt to that situation, he will have a rocky path.

(The idea around which liberalism coheres is that NOTHING actually matters but PR.)
