The Fourth Estate
From the Washington Times:
“Bush calls for an optimistic America”
On the other hand, and for a contrary slate of viewpoints, here’s the librulz media:
Associated Depressed: “Bush: U.S. Must Get Free of Mideast Oil”
A politically weakened President Bush declared Tuesday night that America must break its long dependence on Mideast oil and rebuked critics of his stay-the-course strategy for the unpopular war in Iraq.
Gee, that wasn’t subtle, was it?
BTW, imagine how “politically weakened” Prez Bush will be after he seats the *next* SCOTUS Justice.

From the Washington Post: “Lowered Expectations Reflect Political and Fiscal Realities”
Mmm, hmm.

The Seattle P-I: “Bush skips complex realities in address”
Over to you, Paul Krugman.
* * *
Boston Globe: “Bay State Democrats rip Bush”
Yep.

Last but not least, and just for kicks, here’s the way in which John Dickerson of Slate projected his various mental disorders:
“Whose Addiction? Bush’s surprisingly partisan speech”
George Bush didn’t go through a recovery program when he quit drinking, but surely he knows that the first step to shucking any dependency is admitting the problem. In his big speech, he attempted to do just that when he delivered the evening’s most memorable line, ‘America is addicted to oil.’
{Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug}
On the bright side for the John Dickersons of the world, there are only, well, you know, three full years remaining in this presidency.
