The presidency comes with powerful tools that can help incumbents keep their jobs: a mighty public-relations machine, a bully pulpit, a famous airplane. Yet President Bush (news - web sites) has been powerless to halt a recent tide of bad news, from surging violence and missing weapons in Iraq (news - web sites) to missteps by his own campaign to a potentially damaging new probe by the FBI (news - web sites).

UN warnings, KSTP-TV video, deaths in Iraq, cost of attack/occupation, doctored photo

In his addresses Thursday, Bush skated past the bad news, sticking to his prepared remarks and avoiding reporters. On Iraq, he emphasized that elections are scheduled for January.

"Think how far that society has come from the days of torture chambers and mass graves," Bush said in Saginaw, Mich. "Freedom is on the march!"

5. This Got Freeped Early

I voted it a 5 this morning, but it was already 2.7 then. Nevertheless, a lot of people will still see it.

And BTW, headlines like this always make me do a double take: "Bad News Dogs"? Are those like the Bad News Bears?
