Bush's 2/3 commitment to Walter Reed

The plan for Bush's Walter Reed visit per Dana Perino:

"We worked hard to find time on the President's schedule where he could spend three hours up there, which he's going to do today...."

The reality per the Washington Post:

"President Bush yesterday paid his first visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center since the uproar over shoddy conditions at the facility and emerged after a two-hour tour to publicly apologize....

As the president wrapped up his visit an hour earlier than scheduled, his administration moved to improve care."

And, if you want the real flavor of the trip,

Journalists were allowed to take pictures and watch for only a few minutes before being ushered out, though not before Bush told photographers to take pictures of Sgt. Mark Ecker's tattoo of a naked woman. Reporters were not allowed to interview patients in Abrams Hall, hospital officials said, citing logistics. The hospital instead made available two doctors, who spoke glowingly about the president's visit and had no information to provide about the facility's problems.

I blame his parents.
