I remember...

a few days ago, when so many hawks (bloggy and otherwise) were aghast at rumors that President Bush was going to call for a provisional Palestinian state in a forthcoming speech. It was damn near the end of the world! My gawd, even left-wingers were going to be to the right of Bush on this one. It might even make Bush a one-termer!

Except once again, Bush fooled 'em all. He did such a good job and the praise is so heavy, you'd never guess they were so beside themselves a few days ago, would you?

But in a few days, I'm sure the Weekly Standard will have a new complaint that the President is fouling everything up.

In any case, it was an excellent speech.
