Aren't you tired of waiting?- For the Bird Flu to become human-transmissible, or to subside and no longer be a threat?
- For the Iraq situation to either settle down to a degree of normalcy, or to completely blow up and be an undisputed failure?
- For the U.S. trade and fiscal deficits to be seriously tackled, or to trigger a painful 'rebalancing' of global capitalism?
- For this country to really get behind new energy technologies, or for Peak Oil to finally arrive?
- For Roe vs Wade to be upheld or overturned by the current Supreme Court?
- For Glenn Reynolds, the Powerline boys, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Brit Hume, Hugh Hewitt, Fouad Ajami, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Medved, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough, John Gibson, William Bennett, David Brooks, Rich Lowry, John Podhoretz, David Horowitz et al. to admit they were wrong about Iraq?
- For George Bush to finally lose it on-camera?

IMO GWB has already lost it several times on camera. But the Right is never wrong, so don't hold your breath for the mea culpas.
Yes, modulo bird flu.
Yes, they all trouble me; but W losing it on TV would make me so happy I wouldn't care so much about the others. Petty, you bet I am.
Ajami has already made a partial mea culpa on Charlie Rose. Brooks will soon. For the others, I expect the 'stab in the back' theory will become popular (Who lost this war? The liberals, the doubters, Howard Dean, etc...)

The media. They've all agreed on the media.
Oh, and if Bush ever completely loses it on camera, the entire journalistic community/commentariat will tell us with one voice that he didn't, that it was just "exuberance" or that he was being "spirited" or "feisty" or had decided "he wasn't going to take any more guff." And I think that will happen even if he leaps off the podium and literally tries to strangle Helen Thomas or David Gregory.
