Who's going to watch the speech tonight?
I usually can't stand to watch Bush speak. But it might be fun to see his face all smashed up and looking like mincemeat.

BTW, I love it that the major networks won't be carrying the speech!

1. English teachers are equally thrilled that
the speech won't be carried by many.

11. Me, too...
I have the TiVo set for the 8-10 ep. I hope PBS doesn't preempt it for the "speech" (and I use that term loosely).

10. fer shur
Our commanded in Thief? ON air, ewe betcha I'm gonna watch.

Here is the preview of the text

My fellow amuricans. It has been a long, tough road that we have assaulted, a journey not yet Finnish. A year ago, Saddam stood ready to destroy the fragile peace that existed in the muddle east. Today, we can stand proud knowing that his torture changers shut down, that his rape squads will rap no more, and that he can never attack us with nukular arms or legs.

I want to thank members of the coalition for staying the course, because we have to. If we shift gears now, our bikes will come off the track, and the track record won't permit the finaly victory over evil. God told me last night that the course should be stayed, while golfing, we always see the trees and and the sand traps, not the success that we boagie four on par threes. But to those that have left, like the Spanicans running tale between their skinny dark legs, well, you get what you deserve when the Rapture starts calling.

Some naysayers in congress complain that the course is rocky. Of course it's Rocky. And Bullwinkle and all the rest of their friends, wishing us to fail, but we can't fail, not with us keeping the grades and scoring. I just want to tell those naysayers, best beware what happens and big bubba Cheney comes around for X-Mas with his budget pay-off goodies in his shoulder bag. Because it ain't coal we are talking here, but oil. Black tea, a bubbling crude.

This is not a time for questions, so I won't take any. It is a time for answers. So answer me this. Aren't you more secure knowing that Saddam and his All Kady talibanis aren't around to steal more planes, trains or automobiles? Aren't you more sure that your freedoms are being protected with the Patriot Act, If not, just wait with Patriot II. Aren't you sleeping better knowing that our democratic process is working in Iraq, why just yesterday, Israel didn't kill even one child. Now, that is progress!, Real progress.

Some have questioned our plan, like that backstabbing, scum-sucking, evil, traitorous, shitheel General Zinni. Not to cast any spershons on people who will be seeing some serious jail time real soon, you rotten supporter of arabi murderous rapists, but I'd pack light if'n I were you, but I'm not, so you are, and I won't. So you understand each other, when I say, we must stay the course. Of course, the course is a horse of course, and never will you here me speaking out of my side of my tongue. Because I mean what I say and I say meaning what I meant to be said, over and over again, without any question of the convictions that make this country great.

Now, I pray for your safety and votes in the upcoming election period, but not to worry. With fiends like Diabold, it has to be good. God bless the neocons, and this great nation so long as you pay your taxes, buy those SUVs and support the blessed land of Halliburton. America - this is god's country. So don't you forget it.

Thank you.

12. Bush Drinking Game - Too Bad Its Monday
Edited on Mon May-24-04 02:42 PM by taquinas101
Can you imagine taking a shot for each time Bush said the following:

1. "They hate us for our freedom."
2. "Enemies of democracy."
3. "Stay the course."
4. "Frontline on the war on terror."
5. "We will prevail."
6. "Defeat terrorism."
7. "Defend freedom."
8. "Our way of life."
9. "Justice to our enemies."
10. "Our resolve."

I suggest using beer, rather than anything harder, since its a school night.

14. Damn you beat me to it. Bush drinking games always make his
speeches much more bearable. Use alcohol. Beer shots for every time he says EVIL or FREEDOM. By the end of the speech, he sounds coherent (even though you aren't any more).

16. naw
I literally can't stomach another dazed 'n stupid speech, but I'll flip it on briefly (VERY briefly) just to see what lengths they went to in order to cover up his drunken biking wounds.

Otherwise, it'll be the same old crap. Who cares?

19. bush bug: invades, shoots and leaves
last week bush* met with republicans, (sorta) he gave a 30 minute speech and then left without taking questions

this was suppose to be a rally of some sort to address concerns from members of his party

tonight he goes to a war college and his speech ( a mini-series of six )is designed to try to convince the 'merican people that after Invading IRAQ 14 months ago -- he really does have a plan

so he'll give his speech and then leave without taking questions

One of the "talking points" initally used to convince people we needed to invade Iraq, was that we needed the win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people

His "gop rally" and the mini-series of speeches show that what he is doing is re-selling the invasion and re-selling his policies to the 'merican people --- he's in a situation where he has to win the hearts and minds of Americans

just my naive opinion -- but it seems to me that in order to win the hearts and minds of Americans and the Iraqi's --- he first has to feed the belly

by Feeding the belly - I mean with more than just food. This means shelter, jobs, education, health care -- and most of all hope.

I expect -- tonight's speech and the rest of them in the series, is going to be re-selling of the Reagan "stay the course" concept. We've been on bush*'s course, we've been on his highway --- and personally I don't like this route.

22. Goddess help me, I wish I COULD watch it!
I only get the "Big Four" on my non-cable TV in Mayberry. After three years of having the Worthless Little Shit all over TV networks and after hearing the Well-Groomed Airheads At The Anchor Desk tell me what an "inspiring address to the nation" each cue-card-parroting was, I really want to see his chewed-up face tonight.

I want to hear him hem, haw and stammer his way through a "clear plan" for the alleged handover of the alleged sovereignty on June 30th.

I want to hear that Spawn of Satan and Bar explain to me again just why we need to "stay the course" and just who we're going to "bring to justice" this time.

But mostly, I want to watch that Thieving Bastard sweat.

The Geezer Wing of DU will remember how Nixxon began to sweat as the noose of Watergate closed around his sorry neck. Every time you saw him on TV, his upper lip was COVERED in beads of sweat. No amount of makeup would cover it. It was flop sweat, pure and simple.

Now, we're beginning to see still pictures of bu$h sweating like the pig he is--BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. I want to see it happen on LIVE TV! Somebody, please tell me when he starts to SWEAT. Because at that moment, he knows it's over.

:evilgrin:
