This strikes me as very important:
THEY'RE saying the President, spending inordinate time working on handling his multiple problems of Iraq, Supreme Court, Karl Rove, gas prices, sliding polls, economy, has begun rehearsing answers to questions that might come up at a press conference. More importantly, he's even watching reruns of "West Wing."
If Bush is really indulging in some season 1-4 West Wing, this whole administration could turn on a dime. All the rest of us watch the Bartlett years and quietly wonder if we could ever work in the White House. George W. Bush, on the other hand, can simply decide to become Jed Bartlett, to rise above these puny misanthropes critiquing his Court choice and join the pantheon of fictional, transcendentally high-minded leaders. Hey, beats indentured servitude to James Dobson.
