1. Aw......
did it rain on his parade; he needs to see Putin for the formula for atmospheric control.

Lights, action, music: Blue skies, nothing but blue skies...

3. Wonder Where He Dug Up His Union Crowd?
Voter registeration lists vetted by his SS?

He---and the speech---are all wet.

9. The "union crowd" may not be union members.
Whistle Ass spoke once at an inner city school and the children who attended that school and their parents were not allowed in or near the building.

5. They're running out of people
for their safe audiences. That's what happens when everyone hates you. I bet you will see him in smaller and smaller venues, with bigger and bigger backdrops, and more American flags. Pretty soon they'll just photoshop in the audience and not even bother with real people. Just think how much they'll save on security?

14. They've done that already
One of his speeches was videotaped and one guy in the audience noticed that he was sitting next to a black woman instead of his wife. The video had been manipulated to make the audience appear more "diverse."

7. Why isn't the whole country freaked out
by his Saddam-like military look?

Some focus group must have told Rove that it makes him look like a leader, well whenever he does it some Democrat ought to issue a press release pointing out what a coward Chimp really is.

28. Ah, well, it's an old saying...
When you're stupid, nobody gets suspicious.

It's worked for Bush.

17. Odd that there was no Bushshit backdrop.
The democrats should run ads showing Whistle Ass in front of a backdrop saying JOBLOSS RECOVERY.

11. We need an ENERGY POLICY!
Chimp actually said that. Why don't we just dig out Kenny Boy's plan. People are really stupid.

13. translated: "we need more privatization and subsidizing of profits"
the deregulated energy companies won't invest in upgrading the facilities, as that would cost money and cut into profits.

Now, Bush says Congress needs to get him an energy policy. What he means is that Congress needs to pass laws which require and give "incentives" for the modernization of facilities, i.e. tax relief and subsidizing of enrgy company profits.

15. "GWB Joke that isn't really a joke"
He gave Letterman some good material for this today.

God he's such an idiot. I had to turn on yesterday's Road to the White House (on TiVo) and watch Dean for a bit, because * was making me ill.

Never mind his evil nature, he may simply be one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen.

16. Torture. I can hear the same guy in the background whooping
it up. It must be the head cheerleader. Are there so few people there that I can hear just one guy? I haven't seen any crowd shots so I don't know how many are there.

I am grateful that I have a job and miss his daily doses of propaganda.

20. did anyone see a shot of the crowd?
did they even show the crowd at all? I saw a little piece of it at the end, but I missed the beginning. Did they over pan over the crowd?

22. 1 more Q: Did the cable coporate media show the protesters?
there were some protesters that gathered in the area, as well. I missed the first part of the propaganda, but did the corporate cable news networks show the protesters at all, or even acknowledge that they were there?
