3. Have they repeated Bush's WH Press Conference, yet. I know they

had it up on the site for viewing, but wondered if you've seen it in their schedule for re-broadcast.

[paineinthearse]

4. It is at www.cspan.org

Home page - www.cspan.org, scroll down to Pres. Bush Press Conference (03/16/2005)

Check same address, upper right corner, click on TV SCHEDULE. It is updated every 15 minutes. Will probably be repeated over the weekend.

Something VERY strange. Goto http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/, it is NOT listed there. All other events are. Guess the chimp had a sub-par performance that
