Bush Speech Elicits Fake Applause: Bloggers Report

I missed Bush's latest 'stay-the-course' speech. Given the choice between seeing Bob Dylan or Bush, I wisely chose the former.

Apparently, I was wrong about Bush using the military for the usual obligatory cheers and applause. There are a number of reports from bloggers, including this one from Kos, which indicate that there was very little applause. Interestingly, bloggers report that the MSM reported that the very little applause was "fake."
