And now on another, more obscure channel, your president
Bush Talks About Evil Doers on C-Span 3
And now on another, more obscure channel, your president

by Laura Rozen
October 6th, 2005 1:21 PM

<snip> And so on Thursday, with conservatives openly threatening revolt against his choice of Harriet Miers for Supreme Court justice, and with 62 percent of Americans disapproving of President Bush's handling of Iraq, and with House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on money laundering charges, and with the White House's top procurement official also on the rack, and with signs that top White House advisors could be indicted any minute now by a federal grand jury, Bush and his advisors reached for that old crutch, a speech reminding Americans of the glory of fighting the terrorist enemy in Iraq. <snip>

But whether his Churchillian mimicry can stanche the growing grumbling of his base remains to be seen. Indeed, with Bush's Thursday speech relegated to C-Span 3, and with top headlines being generated by the Senate Republicans' defiance of a White House veto threat in passing an anti-torture bill, it wasn't even clear that many Americans bothered to tune in.
