Rare:

In a story about Bremmer's recent statements saying more troops were needed in Iraq, White House on Defensive After Bremer Talk , we read: (emp add)

At a campaign stop in Tipton, Iowa, Kerry said the question for voters was whether Bush was "constitutionally incapable of acknowledging the truth" or was "just so stubborn."

In a rare day spent in Washington, Bush had no public appearances. Speechwriters polished an address that White House aides said would be a sweeping indictment of Kerry's Iraq policies, while Bush prepared for his second debate with Kerry on Friday.

A rare day spent in Washington. Yeah, who would ever expect the president to be in the nation's capital?
