FLASHPOINT for Aug 22, 2007

Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2007 | 7:08 a.m.

Rudy Giuliani and John McCain haven't been to Nevada in a while. But the man they are seeking to replace has found our little state. President Bush is coming to Reno on Tuesday to speak to the annual American Legion Conference. That ought to be an interesting speech, coming as it is a couple of weeks before Gen. David Petraeus gives his report to Congress. After the speech, I am sure , the president will sit down with members of the media here for a meaningful discussion of issues ranging from children's health care to Yucca Mountain. Yes, I am absolutely sure that is going to happen, because Bush has never as president allowed we lowly Fourth Estaters to ask him questions. What are the chances he will break that perfect record next week?
