NBC sends out an email with daily short updates on items in the news each day. I don't know who writes these briefs but they are often funny and frequently really slamming the Chimpmeister's administration. I'm think the powers to be aren't reading these things too close. Here is today's email. If you aren't signed up for this free service you might want to consider it. The writer must not have gotten them memo that says lie for the Chimp.
First Read: The day in politics by NBC News for NBC News
---------------------------------------------------------
Now raise your hand if you still think Karl Rove's 9/11 remarks last week were unintentional.
Facing mounting U.S. casualties, an increasingly skeptical public, and a growing chorus of criticism (even within his own party), a confident and resolute President Bush last night directly tied the situation in Iraq to 9/11 and the war on terrorism. To illustrate this renewed focus, he made five direct references to 9/11 and two references to Osama bin Laden. But in both his inaugural and State of the Union addresses this year, he never mentioned Bin Laden. And although he did mention 9/11 in that State of the Union, he didn't do so until more than half way through the speech.
Some quick questions: Will this new focus reverse poll findings like the one from USA Today/CNN/Gallup, which shows that 50% of Americans now see Iraq being completely separate from the war on terror? Can the Democrats reverse the political setbacks they've encountered when Bush wields his 9/11 credentials? And for how much longer will 9/11 continue to be the dominant political story in America?
