Not being the told the news

The US immigration bill died, for now, in the Senate last night. George Bush woke up this morning and presumably, if he didn't hear the news the night before (given the +6 time zone), was told about it this morning. Why then is his radio address, taped for broadcast on Saturday, written as if the bill is still being debated in the Senate? This took place in the context of his mystery bug at the G8 summit, which his spinners were eager to downplay --

MS. PERINO: And he taped his radio address.

MR. BARTLETT: Oh, sure, he taped his radio address this morning. I think that's an indication of how he feels


Indeed it is.
