1. I admidt, I voted "masterwork"
Because, let's face it:

He is in prime time, it will all the scripted, the press will bend over for him, and the people who comment on it afterward will discuss how great of a speaker he is and what a "straight shooter" he is.

Nevermind the lies, the stumbling through his broken English, or the obviously scripted bullshit questions like "Mr. President, the economy is soaring and people everywhere are happy. But I have one tough question: Where does your greatness come from? Is it Jesus, hard work, or steady resolve?"

This will be a pukefest.

If only there was a free press.....

3. Yep. He doesn't take risks.
tho I must admit it was pretty stupid of the White House to release that PDB. so maybe he'll blather s'more about the PDB & how GREAT everything is in Iraq.

Pukefest indeed.

6. No vote necessary. No different than the last. "SCRIPTED"!
Hand picked journalists, questions handed out, pre-scripted answers, why bother to even watch? Do you think one honest journalist will get a chance, given what happened to Helen Thomas at the last "press conference"?

9. I concur. It will be a joke.
Are there any real reporters left that have any balls? Or do they hand pick the "journalists"?

2. He will get a Master Work grade from the press....
"After unrelenting criticisms and undaunting courage in the face of serious troubles in Iraq, the president has come out and reminded us of the same man who emerged from the rubble of the 9/11 tradedy.... determined and more fierce than ever...."

Or some such bullcrap.

The 'press' will spin it all for the little liar in chief.

4. I kind of think he'll screw the pooch.
It all depends on if they ask him tough questions.

5. I almost voted for "masterpiece"...
...but only with irony meter turned up full blast. The Far Right will no doubt give him a 110% rating. It will be another pathetic performance, rest assured. The man doesn't give enough of a s**t to IMPROVE for chrissake...

8. It will be a total disaster judged to be a masterwork
Bush will look terrible, will screw everything up he says, and the press will call it the greatest press conference in American history.
