Hillary's opponent forgets speech....

[kentuck]

The Imus crew was rolling in the floor this morning laughing at what's-her-name Perro(?) at her announcement for the Senate. She suddenly stopped and just froze for the longest time before she asked, "where's page 10?". They wondered why she didn't ad lib? Doesn't she know what she stands for? She has to read it?

1. There's statesmanship for you

can't even get along without the talking points, eh? I for one am not surprised.

[KansDem]

22. Makes you wonder if Bush wouldn't loan her his receiver and earpiece...

But then, even with those Bush lost all three debates with Kerry.

[Zenlitened]

2. She's a paid assassin, sent in to facilitate smearing Hillary a bit more.

Has no chance of winning and everyone knows it, her repuke bosses included.

[Cha]

16. Wasserman's got little

bush with "rocking horsey" too.

[Zenlitened]

21. That's a beauty!

I love the little aside in the bottom of the last panel, too: "Have the Secret Service wrestle her to the ground!"

It's just astounding that such a little shit of an excuse for a human being is president of the United States of America. Horrifying.

[Cha]

23. I know ..that cracked me up!

And the "most likely to be continued", also..

[Mabus]

3. "....must stay on message."

Isn't that what they all do? We know the GOP scripts everything. They are probably especially cautious about this because it is one of the Clintons.

4. Where's the GB2 Electronic Back-Pack?

Uh . . . I mean the ill-fitting, untailored suit jacket?

[KansDem]

26. You mean the $2,000 to $14,000 "ill-fitting suits?"

Bush's Suits Cost $2,000 to $14,000

A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY

Here's some trivia for you I saw on the internet. While the press focuses on how much Sen. Kerry's haircuts cost, check out how much President Bush's suits cost. Certainly, if Kerry's haircuts are a story, doesn't this deserve a mention if it's true?

Highlights:

- "But Bush's past style lapses are forgivable because, since his inauguration he's been wearing some of the best tailored garments -- Oxxford suits."

- "This guiding principle ensures Oxxford continues to create top-notch garments for a price --$2,000 to $14,000 --that loyal customers are willing to pay."

- "Mr. Bush was so pleased with the fit of his tuxedo, suit, and topcoat and trousers that he immediately ordered six more garments."

28. Are these the same suits with the box shaped bulges in the back??

that chimpy wore during the debates??

[KansDem]

29. Must be. I can't see Bush buying "off the rack" for televised...

...national debates, unless it all part of the "good ol' boy" image his handlers have "cultivated" in order to get "mainstream" Americans to vote for him...

[unrepuke]

33. 14 K for a suit -- how much for a T shirt? (also with the bulge)

[jobycom]

5. I guess she's no George W Bush.

Someone that stupid could never win.

[SemperEadem]

20. Bush did, and he's pretty stupid.

[jobycom]

31. Debatable, but that was still my point.

I should use my little sarcasm smiley more, i guess.

[MADem]

6. It went on for nearly a MINUTE

Perfect hair, perfect grooming, an expensive suit...pity she forgot to bring her BRAIN along to the press conference.

Talk about a made-to-order negative campaign commercial, courtesy of the candidate!!

By her thoughts and words (or lack thereof) we shall know her! Silence may be golden, but when you are announcing your frigging candidacy, speech is bloody platinum!

It was a funny thing to watch!

[livetohike]

7. Hillary will trounce her in a debate

It should be fun to watch :-).

[EST]

15. 'Member? Debates don't matter, anymore.

[Zenlitened]

24. Yeah, really. After Bush's alternately rabid and dumbstruck performances

... against Kerry... :wow:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. I almost feel bad for her. Think she's loaded up on Ambien today?

[CWebster]

8. Y'all are forgetting that idiot Bush rallies voters.

Call it the stupid man's revenge.

It might not play well in NY, but you have to ask who the voter identifies with? One thing about Bush is he never comes across as elitist or talks down - he has the arrogant sneering quality of a common jerk and there are a lot of those around. Common jerks can relate to Bush even if he is no traitor to his class. The question is, to what demogaphic could this woman have a possibly broader appeal?

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. That's beautiful. Another Repug quick on her feet, just like "W"

I'm sure Imus and Co. will have a lot of fun with this.

Run, Jeanine, run.

Hint - page 10 should come after page 9................

[peekaloo]

10. CBS showed that clip last night.

It was funny. They also showed a shot of Pirro standing on a small platform so she could reach the microphone. Kept mentioning the gangsta husband, too.

[Imagevision]

11. Too funny, she couldn't talk without the script! hahahaha!....

[startingnow]

13. Republicans are going to scared shitless....

when they realize, you can't beat Hillary.

[EST]

14. 'Twas coolly, self-inflicted vicious-

The spot I saw, the voice over guy said it was thirty six seconds. It seemed like a couple minutes and my "underdog sympathy" reflex kicked in so hard it made my asshole pucker and gonads reflexively try a little crawl back into protection (damn) even for that idiot member of the back to the dark ages crew. Such aggravated empathy is a terrible gift!

The freeps will eat it up.

[ComerPerro]

17. I swear, she's not related to me

[startingnow]

27. lol!

:rofl:

[okieinpain]

18. oh man I saw the tale end of that, I wonder what it was all about.

[Cha]

19. I googled jeanne pirro and

came up with this..

"Pirro is also burdened by the fact that her husband is a convicted tax cheat (whose crimes she partially benefitted from). Amusingly, the GOP is saying that the sins of the husband should not be imputed to the wife - while at the same time claiming that Hillary's ancient marital issues will "cancel out" Pirro's problems. Not the first time the GOP has talked out of both sides of its mouth.

Pirro is allegedly the GOP's dream candidate for this race - but I ain't buyin' it. There's no chance she'll beat Clinton. At best, she might raise her profile because Hillary is a national figure, but even that's open to question, since this Senate race won't be one of the top-tier contested fights."

25. Compare and contrast with Bill Clinton

In Stephanopoulos' book about his time in the Clinton administration, he told the story about how Bill Clinton was preparing for his second or third State of the Union speech. As usual, he worked, re-worked, rehearsed, and went over the speech several times to make sure all the wording was right, and that his delivery was as good as it could be.

On the night of the address, the boob in charge of the TelePrompTer machine loaded the wrong speech, the State of the Union speech from the year before. Clinton hesitated for a moment as he realized that what was scrolling by wasn't what he was supposed to say. Remember, this is live TV with every notable in DC in attendance and millions more watching across the nation.

Clinton gathered himself, then began doing his speech from memory until the wrong speech could be unloaded from the machine, the right speech located and loaded, and then caught up to where Clinton was in the speech. It was so seamless, none of the talking heads watching the speech even noticed.

30. Still at Level One trying to reach Level Two.....

Bush is just like her....he cannot ab lib for shit..open his skull and you will find the gears slowly ticking away. 1 click every 4.7 minutes....about 13 RPMs

[ElsewheresDaughter]

32. perro in spanish means "dog"
