Cry Foul

Eric Boehlert makes the point which was obivous 4 seconds into Bush's speech today -- he told the cable nets he was giving a major presidential policy address, and instead he gave the millionth repetition of his stump speech. If they had any integrity, they would have pulled the plug 10 minutes in, once they'd realized they'd been had. As Yglesias says, "is the press really going to stand for it?"

Well, they already did. Now, of course, they owe Kerry a full commercial free airing of one of his campaign speeches. I won't be holding my breath.
