Tonight's press conference

Digby has a list of questions that will probably be asked of the Putz behind the Podium.

The real problem is not so much that Bush is unable to answer anything directly, truthfully, or in actual english words that 4th graders use on a daily basis. It's the press. Since Bush give press conferences about as often as Spencer Abraham gets laid, each reporter realizes that they may only get, what Eminem would call, "one shot" to get a question in. So they go with their little pads with one question written at the top...and the rest blank to scribble down the inanities.

What happens then is someone asks a good question...Bush dodges it by reciting a canned answer, and then Bush calls on someone else...who doesn't follow up on the previous question, pinning the chimp down. Helen Thomas may ask, " Why war? Why now?" which Bush will mumble his way through before calling on a Fox News correspondent who will ask about God in the Pledge of Allegiance. This allows Bush to call a hostile reporter, then follow with someone sympathetic to the Administration, whose job it will be to change the subject.

Afterwards Peggy Noonan and Howard Fineman will call Bush "masterful", recalling former President and current okra casserole, Ronald Reagan in his prime.

A little teamwork by the reporters would go a long way to exposing this weak little man who has all of the depth of a mirror.
