Bush*'s "Major Speech"

Before I left for my appointments this morning I saw CNNbilling Dubya's trip to Ohio as a "Major Speech", presumably about the economy. When I got home at 2PM CST, all I heard (both here and on CNN) was about another rambling "It's not my fault" speech from Dubya in Ohio. So what's the deal here?

Does the WH have to announce that every appearance by this A-hole is a "major speech" in order to:

a) Make sure he get free live press coverage?

or,

b) To get us poor sap taxpayers to pay for the cost of a thinly veiled campaign trip?

or,

c) Both of the above.

This is getting a little old dubya...call me when you have something IMPORTANT to say.

for the trip and pretend its not a campaign stop.

Of course, Smirky may believe this was a "major" economic speech. Blaming Clinton for all his problems does seem to be a way of life for him.

jet set to campain fundraisers and photo ops like the NASCAR event he did the "dramatic flyover" at - the frieking panderer.

read it on yahoo.at taxpayers expense.he was trying to boost the economy talk.and yes, the media are giving bush free air time...but who really listens?

we all know by now that his"workers" are fake and he only speaks in front of a selected few...its not like he would or could speak to the people who really want to ask hi hard questions and we unlike re-pubs demand a straight answer.

Where ever did you find that?

in yesterday's New York Times

It's a great chart.

I stole it from Krugman. It's a great visual and should be spread widely.

FYI, to determine the source of a graphic: 1) right click on the image, 2) click on "properties"

he just has a new page with I-SEW-LAY-SHUN-IST written in BIG LETTERS.

my take on *'s speechifying (and sorry if you've already seen it)

To the tune of “SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS”

CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR HIM SPEAK
YOU WANT TO GRAB A HAMMER
BUT IF YOU DARE TO PROTEST
YOU'LLEND UP IN THE SLAMMER
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR

UM TERRA TERRA TERRA UM SMOKE ‘EM OUT
UM TERRA TERRA TERRA UM SMOKE ‘EM OUT

OUR GEORGIE IS NO ORATOR
AS YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE
AND READING OFF A MONITOR
HE DOES JUST AWFULLY
IT’S THE SAME SPEECH HE SPEECHED BEFORE
BUT STILL CAN’T GET IT RIGHT
I GET ANNOYED AT THIS DULL BORE
AND I CAN’T BE POLITE:

IT’S CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR HIM SPEAK
YOU WANT TO GRAB A HAMMER
BUT IF YOU DARE TO PROTEST
YOU'LL END UP IN THE SLAMMER
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
(Whisper:
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR
(Full:
CONVOLUTED SYNTAX AND A MANGLING OF THE GRAMMAR!
