jackshoegazerBUSH BUMPED FOR TRUMP; PARIS HILTON
The White House learned a painful media lesson Thursday: Do not launch a press conference on the first night of May Sweeps!
CBS, NBC and FOX cut off President Bush, mid-sentence, in several time zones, after sacrificing one hour of prime.
The president was left standing on the stage as NBC rushed to Donald Trump, FOX to Paris Hilton and CBS to SURVIVOR: PALAU.
ABC and PBS stayed with talkative Bush until he left reporters in the East Room of the White House.
Sensing he was running into trouble, Bush joked, "We better finish this up, there are TV programs to show. And I want to help the economy."
But it was too late.
They had already pulled away
