So what's the point of taking questions, if not to answer them? Could it be to simply appear to be answering questions? Or just to repeat, repeat, repeat?
Yesterday, you almost got the feeling that he was just talking to run down the clock.
But why would he do that? One possible reason yesterday was:
To preempt any television coverage of a press conference at which leading Democrats were unveiling their Bush-bashing security agenda.
Indeed, Bush's event had originally been scheduled for 1:20 p.m. yesterday. But Tuesday afternoon, the White House suddenly moved it up to 12:50. The Democratic press conference was scheduled to start at 1. Bush finally wrapped up his talk at 2:22. Anyone know when the Democrats stopped talking? Anybody see anyone in the audience giving him hand signals? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100879.html
