When Peggy Noonan calls Bush weak you know he's in trouble. Noonan has been one of Bush's most articulate supporters.

The Conservatives are panning Bush's performance too! John Derbyshire in National Review Online's "The Corner" blog: "I thought it was a pretty dismal performance. I'll be voting for GWB in November, but let's face it, the Great Communicator he ain't. The tongue-tied blather was coming thick and fast. At times, he looked like Al Sharpton on the Federal Reserve. "Russert: 'Why didn't you establish the intelligence commission earlier?' GWB: 'Blather blather blather. No answer.' "Russert: 'Will you yourself testify before the commission?' GWB: 'Blather blather blather. No answer.' "Russert: 'Why was Saddam Hussein a threat to the US?" GWB: 'He had the capacity to make weapons... a madman...'" "This stuff isn't going to convince anyone, and will probably turn off some supporters." NRO blogger Rod Dreher on Bush's performance: " I kept wincing as the president bobbled his answers. Even when he gave what on paper is a decent enough answer, he looked nervous, stumbly and intellectually unsure. He did himself no favors with this interview. I know Bush is not known for being eloquent, but it did strike me that we should be able to expect better than this from the President of the United States, at least after three years in office. "…He had better get his act together. I found myself watching him slouch and skitter through the Russert interview, and thought how fortunate we are that the president will probably be running against a liberal Democrat from Massa-gay-marriage-chusetts this fall." My view: Rumblin', Bumblin', Stumblin, Fumblin' - NO SCORE!
