Although it's old news at this point, it's striking to see and hear GW in front of the UN assembly, giving his speech to a near 100% unresponsive crowd (we're talking absolute silence), as compared to his hokey, laughable "Ask The President" gatherings, where after every sentence he receives wild applause from the carefully pre-screened crowd. Admittedly, the rules of the UN make it quite difficult for Rove to work his magic.
