Best line of the night:
"There is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to ackowledge anything but failure.Hindsight alone is not wisdom.And second-guessing is not a strategy."
This article applies it to media coverage.It applies equally to almost all dems as well.
Pray for W and Our Troops.

Old Media ping.
I am bookmarking this great quotation. Never were truer words spoken. So to the point.

"I know what honor is.
... It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you.
I faced death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to....
Never falter! Don't hesitate to honor and support those of us
who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting."

What is so revealing about that statement is that Dems know in their heart that it's true.

I thought the early part of the speech and the conclusion was an in-your-face defense of his policies and a call to the Dims to quit their anti-Americanism and actually start supporting the troops. I loved it, but I'm not surprised the Dim media didn't like it.

The media narrative of the week is that President Bush is in Year Six, and that's not been a great year for second-term presidents in modern times. On Monday night, National Public Radio warned that, in 1966, Lyndon Johnson lost a pile of Democratic seats. In 1986, Ronald Reagan lost GOP control of the Senate. In 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached. The strategy for this year mapped out by the second-guessing media: making sure President Bush matches that historical pattern of weakness and loss by year's end.
Wonder how they explain away 1994.
