Pandering to the Media
Today President Bush spoke to the press after a briefing from Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. He told everyone how proud he is of our military and how much he supports the SecDef.
Did we not know that? It's not like he said anything new. But he had to stop and say "attaboy!". All because the press demanded that he say something. In the world of the 24 hour news channel, real news is hard to find. So they (the press) try to find (or make) more.
You have to think that while the president was blowing sunshine up their collective tuckuses, he was secretly wishing he could tell them to take a long walk off a short peer.
