Sigh...

I could fill this site with all kinds of information from reputable sources and demonstrate conclusively that George W. Bush is perhaps the biggest empty suit to hold the position of President that this country has ever seen, but a lot of other people have done a good job of that already, and I'm trying to do something different here.

Suffice to say that, apparently, last night's latest attempt to pass himself off as someone worthy of his position by harping on the same warmed-over propaganda over and over was another cringing media moment that inspired dread more than anything else. With that in mind, I thought Arianna Huffington's take on it was interesting (with the appropriate tongue-in-cheek humor).

Today's CNN Quick Vote question: Which word best describes Bush's speech?

Reassuring - 17 percent
Uplifting - 7 percent
Worrying - 76 percent

Also, the best analysis I've seen of the speech so far (and I've seen a lot of good stuff) is at the Lying Media Bastards site (accessible from the right column link).

One more thing: isn't it nice to see how Bushco "supports our troops"?

(Update on 6/30 - Zogby dares to mention the "I" word: hmmm...)
