UPDATED TIME: John Edwards to rebut Bush on MSNBC

Tonight, after George Bush's address to the nation, presidential candidate John Edwards will offer a rebuttal on MSNBC. Edwards has purchased two minutes of air time so that he can respond to Bush.

John will challenge the President's remarks with a strong call to the nation to end the war now.

Bush is scheduled to speak at 9:00 p.m. Eastern for 15 minutes. Edwards will speak immediately afterwards.

UPDATE Now the Edwards campaign is saying that Edwards will be on MSNBC at 9:53 p.m. I'd really like to know who pushed back on the original time.

"Tell Congress you know the truth," Edwards says. "They have the power to end this war and you expect them to use it. When the president asks for more money and more time, Congress needs to tell him he only gets one choice — a firm timeline for withdrawal."

Edwards will also appear on Larry King Live on CNN tonight.

Joe, I'll post a link to the video here in the comments when it's up on YouTube.

Lex, what is "panering?" Sounds like you're trying to make a verb out of Panera Bread. I think I'll go panering for lunch.

John Edwards is the only Democratic Presidential Candidate showing true leadership on ending the war in Iraq.

Looking forward to hearing him tonight.

I'm sorry to say there is a nasty streak in me that cannot resist the temptation to make fun of people who make spelling errors while calling others "idiots." If you didn't understand that my first response to you was a joke, well, I really don't need to say more, Lex.

Thanks Astrogirl. I don't get msnbc, but I'll watch it on Utube. The excerpt certainly was good.

2 Minutes?

He probably spent 90 seconds of that playing with his hair so it was just right.

Oh God! That's right Dana! I almost forgot about the $400.00 haircut. Thank GOD people like you are here to keep the important issues like that front and center instead of those distracting little things like the illegal occupation of Iraq . . . or healthcare. People always miss the big picture but YOU make sure we don't! THANKS! :P
