It seems as if we got a Bush statement that he's standing by Rove, and that satisfied everyone.<BR/><BR/>But again, if you're watching the press conference briefing and saying to yourself, "Man, I wish I could be watching Ari Fleisher twist like that."

And watching the press conferences lately, I'd say the gloves are off.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1121274124374188352005-07-13T13:02:00.000-04:002005-07-13T13:02:00.000-04:00Good point, Rod.

Much as I appreciated Studio's eloquent editorial on Scotty, it does seem like he has minimal importance on this one. <BR/><BR/>But lordy is watching Scotty squirm hypnotic. It's like watching Homer on the treadmill.Thrillhoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082092153634900636noreply@blogger.com
