Condi Rice went before the 9-11 Commission today for three hours, and didn't say much substantive.
And where's Dubya?
On vacation, at the ranch.
Today's Washington Post White House briefing (free registration required) lets us know the busy agenda of Our Fearless Leader:
Scott Lindlaw of the Associated Press reports that Bush will be "leading a tour of his ranch for hunting, fishing and land-conservation advocates" today, and might not even watch Rice on TV.Above and beyond the fatuity of his schedule while all Hell is breaking loose halfway around the world... doesn't anyone see the irony of the names of those hunting groups which claim to be for conservation of their targets? "Ducks Slightly Limited By High-Velocity Lead Poisoning" and "Pheasants For Awhile" are more like it. And then, Ladies' Home Journal. Yeesh.
"Aides said Bush had given no indication of planning to watch the testimony Thursday live on television. Rather, Bush intended to receive updates from his top advisers, a senior administration official said. Bush was attending his usual national-security meetings in the morning."
Jeremy Pelofsky of Reuters reports that Bush's guests will include representatives of "the National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever."
CBS News reports that "The president will also, later in the day, sit down for an interview with Ladies' Home Journal."
Worst. President. Ever.
