Oh Jeeze. Bush on TV with an update on the War on Terror
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 11:01 AM by Armstead
Texas is being terrorized by a hurricane, and we're all terrorized by the potential impact. And he's giving a briefing on the WOT with Condi, Dick and the whole gang.

Looks like they're trying to play the old shell game, and remind people of his "strength" against the terrasts.

25. Surreal isn't it?
I'm watching CNN with the looping Rita graphic in the corner. He has no clue. Let him keep talking, because this blabfest will come back to haunt him.

4. Did he really say that about Hurricane Rita?
"Texas is being terrorized by a hurricane, and we're all terrorized by the potential impact." Please tell me he didn't say that?

8. Does anyone even pay attention to that crap anymore??
It is the same speach he gives every time. Americans need to start caring more about our fellow countrymen. There is another major hurricane on it's way to remind of this. Wake up.

12. Check out the bags under his eyes
Maybe the Enquirer was right. He's hitting the booze again. He's never had bags even in the aftermath of 9/11.

Oh, how I wish we had an aggressive opposition that would stick it in his ear.

18. good grief
does anyone else notice the weird jaw-jutting to the left he does at the end of almost EVERY sentence?? His "blink" factor is red-lining too! It's becoming more pronounced with every recent appearance.
Man, I want to see his total meltdown on live TV when Cheney finally gives a nod and they lead him out blubbering to himself.
His voice is rising in pitch now and he's in his lecturing whining mode. He makes me sick.
What a pathetic asshole.

28. Thanks for the visuals, P.
I got rid of my TV, thanks to Bush. I'm allergic to the man.

It's great to read about his appearances, though, at arm's length.

Welcome to the DU, by the way!:smoke: keep those posts coming.

32. I think the blinking, looking downward, and awkward pauses
occur mostly when he is listening to his handlers via the device in his ear. If you watch for it, it is very obvious that he is being fed what to say as he is speaking. Needless to say, this makes for a very halting performance.

21. Oh he's really got the point on NOLA
Texans are evacuating out of harms way. Yes, all those silly people from NOLA without a car who evacuated to shelters in the city were to blame?

And why is he talking (lying)about the war in Iraq now? Is he scared of Cindy and 9/24?

30. You failed to mention "You gotta unnerstand" or "Thas what
I'm trying to say"."It takes time"."Thas what we are doing now"."you've gotta assess what the Federal gvt. tab will be".

Did you notice that he as moved away from "we're going to spend whatever it takes" to "We'll do what the law says we are obligated to do",i.e. 75%.
