Bush Holds Teleconference for Iraq Troops

President Bush held a video conference with troops in Iraq today, and the MSM spin, closely matched by lefty blogs, is that it was a staged event: Bush holds video rally for troops in Iraq.

It’s another non-issue, of course; if any “staging” took place, it happened right in front of the reporters who were covering the event. No one hid anything. The main beef seems to be that the producers of the event took questions and comments only from soldiers who supported the Iraq effort. So what? It’s not as if people who want a dose of defeatism have nowhere to turn—they can always read the New York Times or Atrios.

I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
