Yesterday CNN’s Jack Cafferty, normally a crotchety administration opponent, said he liked President Bush’s Iraq speech:

JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Did you hear John Kerry say the troops are Americans?
WOLF BLITZER: Yes, he did say that.
CAFFERTY: It’s comforting to know that our troops are citizens of this country. Stuff you pick up watching television.
BLITZER: I think he wanted to say that we’re all Americans.
CAFFERTY: Well, yeah right. You know what? Did you watch the speech?
BLITZER: Yes, I did.
CAFFERTY: I thought it was terrific. And I haven’t said that about our president in awhile, but he was good this morning. That was a performance that might be worth five points in the polls. I guess we’ll know that a little later. The commander in chief acted like one. He was confident and convincing and his speechwriters left the word nuclear out of the text. I learned some stuff that I didn’t know before about how they planned to achieve victory over there.
There were specific examples cited of some of the progress being made in Iraq. At one point, I even thought about enlisting, but then I decided against that. The truth probably lies somewhere between the president’s vision of a shining country on a hill, and those who feel that we’re hopelessly mired in a no-win situation.
But it was good to see the president get his fastball back. He was good this morning.

Today, he said he was getting tired of Nancy Pelosi’s incessant press conferences:

CAFFERTY: I was watching Bill Schneider’s report on the latest poll. They left out one question in that poll, which is whether or not Americans are sick and tired of seeing Nancy Pelosi on their TV every time they turn the thing on. I mean, is she tedious enough, do you think? I mean, is there anything she won’t run in front of a camera to respond to? I’m tired of looking at her.

What are they putting in Cafferty’s Wheaties these days? I’m starting to like the guy.
