9. That is, unless, Rove doesn't WANT the speech carried by the networks.
They then get to say ad nauseum that Bush is outlining a clear plan for Iraq, while most of the American people don't have an opportunity to hear it and judge for themselves just how "clear" it is.

10. Well over 50% of the people have cable
so that will not work.

I know they will try, but that is another matter.

I still see this as historic... they do not do this, usually

Now lemme see how swollen the boy's neck and face will be. No way in heck they will allow any bruises to come out through the make up....

12. But very few people actually watch cable news networks
and I mean VERY few. We go on and on about them here, but most Americans still get their news from the networks or their local affiliates.

I think if the White House asked, the networks would have complied. If not, there would have been a major brouhaha. The fact that you've heard very little howling from the White House about the decision seems to speak volumes to me.

I actually WANT as many people as possible to see these sham speeches, that will undoubtedly be filled with the usual empty rhetoric and nothing new. If it's carried just by cable news, it won't get the play I'd like it to.

14. It's sweeps week!
C'mon! What would Trailer Park America rather see, "Fear Factor" or some lame-ass speech by the Prevaricator-in-Chief?

4. I'm only interested in seeing what kind of makeup job they give him.
After all, he's got those nasty scuffs to conceal. Along with everything else, of course.

6. No way
They'll probably make it look like he severed a few fingers and gouged out an eye. I swear to God that they're playing for sympathy with all these close-up shots of his face.

13. Here's the text:
Good evening muh fellow 'Mericuns. Tonite I will tell you that I have a clear plan for the future of Eye-Rack. Trust me, and we will --- uh, large pepperoni and extra cheese? Uh, OK I guess -- uh, I mean, never mind my fellow 'Mericuns. That was not my ear bug malfunctioning and anyone who says it was is an enemy combatant and on the side of the terrists and hates 'Mericuh.

Tonite I cannot give you the details of my secret plan because that would be aiding the enemy and giving aid and comfort to the terrists and Saddam Hussein and the Notorious Axis of Evil and Bad People everyone and you might be one of them and John Ashcroft will be coming to your house tonite to make sure that you use only the missionary position so we know you are not an evil doer green peppers and a 2 liter diet.

I will tell you that my special secret plan involves winning the hearts and minds of the Eye-Racky people, and everyone knows that the shortest path to someone's heart and mind is up through their anus with a broomstick as my friend Donald Rumsfeld tells me every day. And he is the finest Secretary of Defense this country has ever had so he should know. I do not mean that he has ever experienced the broomstick thing sausage and hold the onions extra large with a side of wings.

Stay the Course! Mission Accomplished! Let's Roll! Bring 'Em On!

Good night, and God Bless 'Merica but not them Arabs.

16. He's using the cable audiences
as a test to see if he gets a boost in his poll numbers, if they go up expect all the major's to cover the next one.
