It's a Point of View

This morning at 10:00 a.m., the President of the United States will hold a press conference.

AMERICAblog.com, according to Sitemeter, averages more than 83,000 hits every day. Eschaton gets more than 122,000. Next to Daily Kos, the recognized leader of the blog pack, these are important voices of what they would describe as the progressive left of the Democratic party.

Eschaton's lead post this morning (after putting up three consecutive "open threads," which unaccountably provoked several hundred comments) is, in its entirety, this:
Another presser?

Oy. I remember when Chris Matthews told me how great it would be when Bush was president because he wouldn't be on TV all the time like that awful Bill Clinton.

Wonder which journalist will ask "Just how much do you love freedom, Mr. President?"
And that post links to AMERICAblog's lead post which, also in its entirety, is this:
CNN just reported that Chimpy is doing a press conference from the White House at 10 a.m.

The White House can spin all they want, but Bush is an incompetent liar and no one trusts him. He's dangerous.
It's important to have well-informed views regarding the important political, economic and social issues confronting America. I guess this is supposed to represent one.

And it's certainly difficult to know exactly how one might respond.

So, Bush is an "incompetent liar". Why is incompetent lying a bad thing? Or, more to the point, why is that less desirable than Bill Clinton's competent lying. You have to give Bill that, he was very good at lying. W isn't nearly in his class.
