It was only a matter of time, of course. But someone finally couldn’t resist the urge any longer and published the first “Bush plays Peoria” story of the day. Except they got the cliche wrong:

It’s the ultimate political cliche: “How’s it playing in Peoria?” President Bush will find out today.

No, no, no. It’s “Will it play in Peoria?” Not, “How’s it playing in Peoria?” If you’re going to be so unoriginal as to drag out that tired old cliche, at least say it right. Sheesh.

By the way, as long as we’re on the subject, did anyone go? What did the President have to say?
