Bush is bombing on his Homeland Security speech to the FBI.

[blm]

It is the FLATTEST performance I have ever seen from him. SO tired. Smattering applause. THEE most boring speech EVER.

I think he got his energy from adulation and worship, and there is NONE there to be found.

[gristy]

1. Where are you watching this? C-Span?

[blm]

2. CNN has had it live for about 20 min. now

.

[barbaraann]

3. I totally agree.

He was also like that during his appearance this morning with the Kuwaiti.

He's toast.

[blm]

10. And he KNOWS it.

It's so obvious. This could also make them more dangerous.

[RichV]

4. Good Lord

I may have to change this before I fall asleep on my keyboard. He's just droning on and on. I've lost track of what he's even talking about other than terror, terror, war, terror, etc.

[KC]

5. and he's

talking about how 'secure' the baggage check is at the airports...guess he hasn't heard about the guy who shipped himself from NY to Dallas.

[NNN0LHI]

6. The only one clapping is Karl Rove n/t

[KC]

7. yep

that's for sure

KC

[sangh0]

8. And he gets paid for that!!.......nt

.

[RichV]

9. Reminds me of a dull graduation speech

Everybody just wants it to end so they can go home.

[grasswire]

11. it's still on

on CNN. He looks drugged.

[neebob]

12. It's also on MSNBC

Never mind the constant stream of bullshit that spews forth out of GWB's mouth; notice how his personality changes from day to day. This one is somewhere between the quiet, non-drawling, simpy-faced milktoast who addressed the nation on Sunday and the loud, swaggering, drawling podium pounder the factory in Ohio last week. Maybe it's in the hat.

[treefrogjohn]

15. Personality shifts

Hmm. Sounds like he was full of drunken bravado in Ohio and burdened with a hangover and remorse on Sunday.

[newyawker99]

26. Hi neebob!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[KoKo]

13. He's swaggering bellying up to the bar and Promoting Patriot II

It's really a frightening speech.....He wants to proscute everyone, and not allow bail......he's getting off on it because it's filled with references to detaining and prosecuting terrorists the same as we do "child abusers."

He's doing his evil...they hate us stuff. It's classic Bush to me....more sincere than the speech the other night.

He get's off on speaking to "Law Enforcers" I think. He's mean and cruel....

Very mild applause......folks didn't think it was a good speech at all.......that's good!

[blm]

14. Yeah...and at the FBI in Quantico, Va.

The dictatortot has LOST them.

[VolcanoJen]

16. Ohferchrissakes... Judy Woodruff is such a Chimp apologist!

She's positively shameless about it.

Rep. Ed Markey is smacking her points around real good on CNN now, and she keeps shushing him. Here's what she just replied:

"But, all he wants to do is expand the death penalty for terrorists!! We can use administrative subpeonas to go after crooked doctors, why can't the President use the same power to go after terrorists?"

Markey: "Judy, do you honestly believe that the thread of a tougher death penalty is going to stop suicide bombers???"

Judy: "But.... but...."

[blm]

17. I wanna know why she protects that little ape.

Is it CNN who makes her do it?

[plcdude]

18. because

* gets to determine who the terrorist are and imprison them forever.

[underpants]

19. Well let's see I was planning on strapping dynamite around my waist..

but seeing as how if I am caught they might kill me I've changed my mind.

Uh-huh.

[frylock]

23. hey judy.. remember this guy?

yeah.. the death penalty is going to deter terrorism.

Amrozi smiles and gives the thumbs up as he receives the death sentence.

[KoKo]

24. Markey was excellent....didn't let her interrupt him at all...maybe they

are learning how to deal with the Bush apologists like Woodruff.

[leetrisck]

20. It was weird

He was flatter than a pancake. Don't think he was wanted there and don't think he wanted to be there either. Not a good reception.

[chadm]

21. Why do you think his bosses would have okayed the month vacation?

If he didn't REALLY need it. Doesn't seemed to have helped, though. Toast.

[stopbush]

22. "Getting a warm reception"

so sez Lester Whor-olt on MSNBC at 1:10 PDT in his "expert evaluation" of shrub's appearance today.

UFB.

[KoKo]

25. ROFL! Would be nice to hear "The Audience Left the Room in Protest.

when Chimpy mentioned "terrasist" because they'd heard it all before!"
