I've realized that I'm utterly incapable of predicting the public response to Bush's televised appearances. Last night he seemed as imbecilic as ever; yet in the past, he's been given a pass for similar painful-to-watch incoherence. This time the press seems a bit more critical -- even neocon William Kristol called the performance "depressing."

I will say, it was refreshing to see the White House press corps show some backbone last night during the Q&A. Where has this healthy level of journalistic skepticism been during the last three years?

If you want to read something hilarious, go to the comments on Atrios's blog that readers were pouring in during last night's press conference.

OH MY GOD.

Some people think brown people can't be free.

He did NOT just say that.
He did NOT.

Oh my lord.

Every time Bush pulled a real boner, there was a flood of great one-liners. At one point, someone referred to him as Count Chimpula, a moniker I may start using on a regular basis.
