Did you watch? I didn't, but I did catch part of the re-run. And I read the transcript, which was a little less painful. What is there to say?

Here's something. Throughout our President's fawning remarks and Abu Mazen's whining about settlements and roadblocks (not to mention the reporters' questions, which concentrated more on Harriet Miers than the Middle East), the white elephant in the room garden was. not. mentioned. once.

The elephant, however, didn't quite see it that way.

Hamas has accused U.S. President George W. Bush of trying to bring war among Palestinians on Thursday for urging Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to confront and dismantle armed factions.

Yes, well.

Update: (10/21) The other shoe drops.

WASHINGTON - The United States will not actively oppose Hamas' participation in the Palestinian Authority parliamentary elections, Palestinian officials said following U.S. President George Bush's meeting with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday.

Meryl's all over this one.

Laurence Simon, too.

And Ocean Guy.
