Bush Press Conference: Jeff Gannon, ready thy softballs!
President Bush will hold a prime-time press conference tonight at 8:30 pm.m. to address his plans for Social Security and energy (and, depending on whether he’s asked about it, Iraq).
The address comes during a drop in Bush’s approval rating. Considering criticism from DeLay-gate, Bolton-gate, Schiavo-gate, Abdullah-gate, and macking-your-wife-in-the-middle-of-the-pope’s-funeral-gate (okay, well, this Newsweek reader wasn’t impressed), the time is ripe for some damage control.
Scott McLellan announced the press conference just yesterday, but it’s doubtful that this was a spontaneous idea – Karl Rove leaves little to chance.
