Roundtable guests, conservative commentator Ann Coulter, talk show host Orlando Jones, and California congressman Dana Rohrabacher, dove into the issue of the big blackout and if Republicans or Democrats were to blame. Bill then steered the discussion towards the war in Iraq and the often-unhappy reception troops are receiving there, as compared to the warm reception being given by the people of Liberia. Bill then asked for opinions on the President's assertion that the media's heavy war coverage has contributed to the nation's weak economy. The issue of airline security was revisited when Bill brought up the administration's assertion that equipping commercial carriers with missile defense systems for billion was "not fiscally viable." Finally, Bill posed the question to the roundtable if the introduction of the George Bush action figure was ironic given his own questionable record of military service, and, more generally, whether he has the qualities and deportment of a military leader. Bill then closed the show with the New Rules.
