Wow.

I truly didn't think he had it in him. Sure, it probably is ultimately yet another political posture, but still, it's pretty momentous. Also, note the quotes from my distant cousin, Richard Wagenaar.

I think it is called "hey my poll numbers are really down, what can I do as an empty gesture to try and help them?"

Same with his national address from Louisiana tonight. "Hey, look America, I made it here! See, look! I'm here!"

I guess I see it as at least somewhat meaningful because he seems almost psychologically unable to apologize or take blame for mistakes. Even if he was prodded into this, just the fact that he actually did it amazes me.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. Meaningless and politically motivated as it might be, it's ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?!?!?

Can you imagine the pressure the party must have put on him for him to come out and say that. Call me a cynic but I don't think he sudden relized something he did wrong or could have done better, but rather Rove said 'WE'RE GOING DOWN! and here is what you need to do President Monkeybrain.' At least in my mind, Rove calls GW "Monkeybrain."

Yeah, I also agree that this sudden turnaround, especially with the events of last week, smells of political stewing. But as I said above, I just didn't think he had it in him, Rove advice or no.

my grandmother used to call me "monkeybrain."
