Finally, Something Funny Again on NBC

Why not hold this at 8 p.m. Eastern, then, at least, he can do the nation the favor of preempting "Joey" for something that is actually funny?

President Bush will hold a prime time press conference on Thursday night, his first in over a year, to offer more details about his plans to overhaul Social Security, the White House announced.

The 8:30 p.m. EDT East Room press conference comes at a time when Bush is facing some of the lowest job approval ratings of his presidency.

I know that they are now passe on our broadcast sitcoms, but shouldn't this come with a laugh track.

Sad, that they are in such a state that that have to trot out Chimpy McMarblemouth to try to explain his policies in order to boost his flaccid approval ratings. You think they'd try one of their old tricks like a terror-alert, or additionally claim they also captured Al-Zarqawi's IPOD.
