To curtail any hint of dissension in the ranks, Bush scheduled a "pep rally" with congressional Republicans — speaking 35 minutes, after which, characteristically, he took no questions and lawmakers dutifully circled the wagons.

That's an out and out lie; he spoke for 20 minutes and then stayed around and spoke to the GOPers for about 45 minutes, speaking with most of them individually.

Anyone who denies there is media
