The White House is asking networks to break into soaps for the president later today. Stay tuned.

Maybe he can reach the Oprah crowd and get them to realize we are at war with radical islamic lunatics.

Good luck with that. I'm not sure anything can reach the Oprah crowd.

That just doesn't seem important enough to me, and why have 9/11 families there (if that's actually what's been requested.)

[No Blue States]

Unless he announces we are going back to panty head and nude pyramid torture at Gitmo.

Tony Blair has said he'll step down next summer. Don't know if there is a connection.

[tuvals]

That's because their carrier pigeons are striking for minimum wages! (LOL)

[tiredoflaundry]

I know, Harriet Meirs is going to be the new Defense Secretary! /sarc

[GoDuke]

I got dibs on the other one!

[pollyannaish]

Hmmm.

Well, we'll have to wait and see I guess.

In the meantime, break out the small talk. (j/k) That Cruise baby upthread looks freakishly old. Beautiful, but odd.

[dawn53]

Soap opera fans don't car about Tony, they only care about Luke and Laura (are they still on, LOL, I haven't watched soaps since I was a teenager.)

[No Blue States]

Well see what happens.

I do think the 9/11 familes are relevant to the WOT and Gitmo. How he will tie that in will be interesting.

[evets]

Free beer for the homeless?

[CedarDave]

Bush to unveil plan for Gitmo trials

Doesn't seem like a good enough reason to break into daytime TV. I would, however, like to see a speech like he gave yesterday to the Military Officers Association of America -- it deserves prime time. Whereas yesterday's speech highlighted and detailed reasons for our actions in the WOT and Iraq, today's speech will more likely draw attention to the failure of his policy on detainees and give the Rats more ammo to point out failed policies from a failed president.

[RightWhale]

I can't imagine how the Pres can make this interesting except to the dozen or so ACLU attorneys who are clocking hours on this case.

[jw777]

the bombings begin in 5 minutes....?

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

I just saved a ton of money on car insurance with Geico...

[No Blue States]

If David Gregory is there I hope he points his finger at him.

[Deo volente]

If we got Osama, he'd better be dead, and not returning to the U.S. for trial.

That would be a circus to end all circuses. And we would be in greater danger than ever, with him sitting in an American jail issuing more fatwas.

[fanfan]

Tease!

;-)

'Suri Cruise photo release press conference?'

that one made me lol.
