Here. It's amazing how something can become a "non-story" when it doesn't mesh well with the tale being told by the media.

The tale is that Bush did not want to testify. He was given all sorts of grief, and even more grief when he at first offered an hour. Endless articles were written on this subject. Bush shows up, and two Democrats decide they have better places to be. This did not make a lot of headlines, did it?

Just as an aside, the other media tale was the one about Bush not testifying alone, but in the company of Cheney. Again, many articles were written and snide comments were made on this, and it was big news for a long time.

When Clinton testified, he did so in the company of two other people, White House counsel Bruce Lindsey and his National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. I would venture to guess about five people out of 100 knew this. Almost every article I've seen wrote about Clinton's testimony as though only he was in the presence of the committee.
