Will the press take it lying down?

Bush announces a "major policy address," delivers a somewhat nastier version of his stump speech, with no new policy content (and damned little content, period). The cable nets cover it as news, giving him a free hour of political infomercial.
Will anyone call him on it? (Other than Fred Kaplan, that is.) Will he get away with it next time?
