What Were They Afraid Bush Would Say While Trying to Pronounce...

Poll question: What Were They Afraid Bush Would Say While Trying to Pronounce...

..."global struggle against extremism?"

I've seen several theories about why Bush has made everyone drop the "global struggle" tag and go back to War On Terror, but none more convincing than the theory that he just couldn't pronounce it. However, we know he does nothing without his handlers, so they must have been worried about this too. What were they afraid he'd wind up saying one day on international television, too late for them to catch it on the tape loop? Was it...

[thinking is sexy]

12. maybe they were afraid

he'd accidentally say, "the only thing keeping me in power." the truth does keep popping out all over the place lately, after all...

[Inland]

22. Oh, you nailed it -- LOL! nt

[kentuck]

23. It was an idea from the Pentagon...

So they can make a door to leave Iraq with a little honor but Bush may be putting the lid on that?

[King Coal]

24. I'll tell you what they were afraid of Plaid:

Rove just knew he would fuck up and say, "The war against extreme globalers."

[bloom]

25. Yea!

Good job!

:applause:

[babylonsister]

26. LOL funny - thank you, PA! nt

[mtnester]

27. Oh gawd, this is even funnier when I consider the

"no one consulted me about it" crap from yesterday:rofl:

I saw that statement coming a thousand miles away. He had 5 years to learn war on terra, and then they up and change it to something HARDER for him to say (or impossible, depending on the day and how many shots/snorts he has had)

Wonder who is in trouble today at the White House? Who is sitting in the corner, or who has the shit job at the ranch today for that dumbass idea?

Great poll.

[stevietheman]

28. They were afraid he would say "my struggle" at some point

which would get translated in Germany to "mein kampf" and the European press would explode that in headlines.

[schrodingers_cat]

39. Stevie - you nailed it!!

31. Go ball strudel again ex-tree man

might be a fear, and directing tree men, ex or not, to ball strudel, is just sick and wrong

[Plaid Adder]

34. See, not being a guy, the comic potential of the "bal" syllable

just did not occur to me...but I'm glad you all are stepping into the breach!

The Plaid Adder

[jbnow]

35. I'm not a guy either

but I can still think dirty.

Love the poll

[Plaid Adder]

37. And thank God for your dirty little mind

although I don't even want to know how any man would "ball strudel," whether or not he used to be a tree...nor do I EVER want to see Bush's "two-ball extremity."

Oy,

36. Funny, but not a joke

I'm sure that was at least part of the reason. I voted for all of the above, and also God knows what else.

[Starbucks Anarchist]
