Sen. Reed's Dem. Response Beats Bush Speech In Cable Ratings On Fox, CNN

In what was billed as a major televised address on Iraq, President Bush last week "recycled tired rhetoric" and "mumbo jumbo" about staying the course. Sen. Jack Reed delivered a direct response, pledging the Democratic leadership would "exercise our Constitutional duties and profoundly change our military involvement in Iraq."

In case any more evidence was needed that the American public has tuned Bush out and is anxious to hear ideas for a responsible exit strategy from Iraq, we received it today. On both Fox and CNN, more viewers watched the Democratic response than they did the Bush speech. And on MSNBC, only a narrow sliver separate the viewership of the two speeches.
