Bush's Very Last Friday Night Newsdump
Aw, we're almost misty-eyed. In an hour, the Bush White House will release a damning report on a Friday afternoon for the very last time.
Back in September, the Defense Department's inspector general launched a probe into the relationship between the Pentagon and various retired generals acting as television pundits. According to an explosive New York Times piece that didn't go anywhere because no one on television was willing to give it any play for entirely obvious reasons, all these military commentators on your TV news were all Pentagon mouthpieces delivering straight-up propaganda. (Shock! We know!)
The report on this terrible practice will go out at 4 p.m. today, thus making it officially the very last time that Bush will release documents as everyone goes home for the weekend. He will be missed.
