slo-jo to give his first prime-time public speech on Thursday "Commemorating the one year anniversary of Covid" Really 3-11-21? From Frank Rich: "Thus as the summer of 2002 ended, the president's handlers laid out their merchandising campaign for the war in Iraq. The kickoff event would be a short prime-time speech delivered by Bush from New York to commemorate the first anniversary of 9/11--the day before he was to make a longer address to the United Nations Assembly."
