The WaPo Scares Me

[elfs]

From the Washington Post, Jan 28, 2008:

For years, President Bush and his advisers expressed frustration that the White House received little credit for the nation's strong economic performance because of public discontent about the Iraq war. Today, the president is getting little credit for improved security in Iraq, as the public increasingly focuses on a struggling U.S. economy.

That is the problem Bush faces as he prepares to deliver his seventh and probably final State of the Union address tonight.

"Probably final?" "Probably final?" Is the WaPo joining with the National Review in wondering if the only thing that can preserve the WaPo way of life is a coup?. Maybe they've been reading Philip Atkinson's Conquering The Drawbacks of Democracy again.

I had the same kind of moment when I heard an announcer on the radio tonight describing Bush warming up for the speech, saying "as if he knew this would be his last SotU speech." I'd thought they were annual as well.
