LISTENING TO BASEBALL THRU TINY HEADPHONES
Now that the White House has begun to put out the details of the president's economic summit, it isn't too soon to ask: will Mr. Bush be able to pay attention to what goes on even during the limited stretches his advisers plan to make him attend.

The comparisons to Bill Clinton, who sat at these types of thing not only paying rapt attention but orchestrating serious, intense discussion, are going to be in the air.

If you ever saw George W. Bush at a National Governors Association meeting, or at one of the policy events during the 2000 campaign, you know that his attention span for this kind of stuff is about as long as a CNN News Alert. - From ABCnews.com.
