Keep Talking, Mr. President

George W. Bush's More and More War Tour may be annoying, although it is largely ignorable if one doesn't tune in conservative talk shows (where each speech is praised as the greatest since the one before). However, the fact that Bush feels compelled to make this tour and continually to tell us that the war is going well, that it's absolutely vital to the security of America, and that critics only aid terrorists, is a very good thing. It means that public support for the war is flagging and that Bush can no longer count on the reserve of public support he enjoyed after the government's most massive failure ever, on 9/11/2001. When he doesn't have to keep trying to drum up public support is when we should be upset.

So I say: The more speeches Bush is forced to make, the better. Plus, if we can get him to spend all his time speechifying, he won't have time to do us any other harm.
