PRESS CONFERENCE FLASHBACK Here's Elisabeth Bumiller (according to Atrios) giving her take on the last prime-time Bush press conference:

"I think we were very deferential because ... it's live, it's very intense, it's frightening to stand up there. Think about it, you're standing up on prime-time live TV asking the president of the United States a question when the country's about to go to war. There was a very serious, somber tone that evening, and no one wanted to get into an argument with the president at this very serious time."

Thankfully, things (at 8:57 pm) are looking a little more argumentative this time around.

Unfortunately, it's too little, too late.
