Bush is stumbling badly in his speech (the one that preempted Clark's..

[Maddy McCall]

speech). He's on CNN right now. I have never seen such an inept orator.

He is slurring, pausing, stuttering...

Can't wait to see Kerry or Edwards debate him in the General Election run-up!

[Atman]

1. Polifatrators?

Huh?

[Eurobabe]

2. we oughta pre-empt

Bush! Great, it's not bad enough he has ruined the economy, but let's start another arms race while we are at it!!!

Dammit, get me Kucinich....

[Maddy McCall]

3. Yes...you would think with his "military experience" that he would

know a little more about UNCONVENTIONAL warfare. Still stuck in his daddy's Cold War, though.

[calimary]

32. Hell, you'd think with his "Harvard and Yale degrees" he'd be able to

pronounce the word NUCLEAR.

I watched, just now, for about a minute-and-a-half, and he must have said nu-kyoo-ler about 25 times. JEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I look at him for more than ten seconds and this chant starts in my mind GET-HIM-OUT!!! GET-HIM-OUT!!!

[Atman]

10. I swear he is getting sympathy applause

The loooongest breaks between applause. Then...an outburst for no apparent reason, like when they clapped to hide his mangling of the word Proliferation.

Oh, god. Can you imagine...what would normally be a thrill, being invited to see the president speak, this man has made into a mockery. A traveling comedy show, except it wasn't really all that funny the first time, and the act never gets updated.

[chelsea0011]

14. This the "We are all about to die unless you keep me President" speach

:nuke: A group of terroists smuggled box cutters on board planes to kill thousands and now, here we are......countries all have WMD and we are all about to die.

[Maddy McCall]

19. Welcome to DU, Feeney

Yup, be afraid! Depend on Jesus to save your soul and the monkey to save your life!

:hi: Welcome to DU

[Marymarg]

Where is he?

Why have I not seen an audience? Is there one present and I just missed it?

[MaineDem]

4. I agree...he's horrible!

I can't believe how bad he sounds.

[Webster Green]

5. Pluriferators, nuculer, WTF?

Send this fucking idiot back to the third grade.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Or hire a speechwriter who knows not to put polysyllabic words in Bush's

speeches. Jeezus!

[incapsulated]

6. Is he?

I don't have the stomach for him, today.

[MsUnderstood]

13. Bush is best in small doses

Served best with a side of Jon Stewart. He really shines when given the opportunity to be fodder for The Daily Show Cannon.

[RobertSeattle]

7. Bush is an excellent (Wh)orator

:evilgrin:

[adadem]

11. LOL n/t

[maddezmom]

9. I've got him on mute

my stomach is already doing backflips. But hey, maybe I'll un-mute him for the entertainment.

[Nashyra]

15. If Clark is listening to this speech

maybe he will stay in. This guy is scary.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Can you imagine Wes's reaction to this speech?

Is bush giving it today because he thinks wes is out?

[maddezmom]

22. smirk and a wink

:puke:

edit: this was supposed to go under the baby monkey post.

[Maddy McCall]

39. I imagine, however, that Wes is appropriately smirking and winking

at Wes Jr. and saying, "Look at his ignorance. Just look at it."

[SEAburb]

35. If Clark was the dem front runner, Bush wouldn't be giving this speech

Rove and company will be high-fiveing shortly, when Clark makes it official he's dropping out.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Did you just see that stupid expression during the applause?

He looked like a baby monkey wondering what he had done wrong. LOL!

[goclark]

51. Turn Him On!

If the country believes this we are doomed.
A first grader could read better than this idiot.

Didn't his mother work on a program to teach children to read? Why didn't she spend time with her little Georgie? HE CAN NOT READ or SPEAK above a 1st grade level.

[Fenris]

12. Middleman, Suppliers, and Buyers

Yep, we fit into all those categories!

[Champion Jack]

18. "Middleman, Suppliers, and Buyers" and war profiteers....

doesn't that describe the bush* family ?

[LittleApple81]

17. Is proliferation the new keyword? n/t

[Toucano]

20. His speeches are all the same.

Blah, blah, blah, er weapons.

Blah, blah, blah, um terror.

Blah, blah, blah, der danger.

BOR-ING!

[SoFlaJets]

23. I especially like

the high pitched boop boop beeps that Shrubs ear piece is causing.Could there be a dem operative there in the sound studio trying to screw him up(as if it's actually needed)

[mohc]

24. I'm sure I just wasn't paying close enough attention...

...but it almost sounded like he said "nuclear" correctly a second ago.

[Fenris]

25. "Aye eh eee eh..."

"Eee aye eee aye oh!"

[maddezmom]

27. Old MacDonald had a farm...LOL

[The Sushi Bandit]

26. HE IS DRINKING AGAIN!

[Mobius]

48. Yep hes drunk

no joke. I dont have cable but saw him on MTP and his face was all red. Like an alcoholic red. After seeing this, how can Clark drop out? JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH WES, WE NEED YOU ! LOOK AT THAT MESS!

[theoceansnerves]

28. wow

he's REALLY bad today.
he is getting out IAEA though, verrry slowly.

[Maddy McCall]

29. What is he doing with his voice when he says "IAEA?"

It goes up two octaves. :wtf:

[Fenris]

33. I pointed out that he's singing "Bingo"

Aye eh ee eh ee aye ee aye oh!

[maddezmom]

37. crap, thought that was Old MacDonald?

[Fenris]

44. Same thing, maz!

[Rowdyboy]

Any idea just who he's oratificating to today?

now "gubmints" too

I-A-E-A, however, rolls off his tongue. Bet he could sing "Old McDonald" with the best of them

[Maddy McCall]

36. LOL! Just think...young children can watch a Bush speech and realize

that they too can be president one day.

If this underachieving, stumbling, drunkard can be president...

God he has lowered the threshold.

31. And now, for the understatement of the year

He truly is a fucking idiot.

He smirks at someone, and then the idiot winks after talking about nuclear weapons!

He reminds of a kid passing gas in the corner of the classroom, and only his best friend knows.

[maddezmom]

34. "nucular weapons"

[DancingBear]

40. Oops, sorry

I must have been pre-occupied with terrorishts.

[maddezmom]

46. them or the prolifatrators n/t

[aldian159]

38. LOL!

n/t

[Maddy McCall]

41. best post in the thread...summed it up perfectly.

LOL!!! :toast:

[xxqqqzme]

49. I knew that kid!

squatter is, also, the supreme Xample of the schoolyard bully who got his wannabes 2 do his dirty work. He then looks @ the teacher 'n says, 'I didn't do anything!' (smirk)

[MidwestMomma]

42. With all the viewers waiting for Clark

This is probably Bush's biggest Democratic audience since he stole the Whitehouse.

[Maddy McCall]

45. Which is great...his strategy imploded on him...

His strategy to preempt Clark only resulted in EVERY true Democrat watching his speech and pledging to redouble efforts to boot his ass out of the White House in November.

[Champion Jack]

43. Pretty weak "scare speech" if you ask me..

I hope they keep throwing Jr. up on the stump, 'cause he's gonna crack even more.

[SangamonTaylor]

47. some good Bushisms

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms.htm

"Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004

"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us, the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the young of our country." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C. Jan. 14, 2004

"And if you're interested in the quality of education and you're paying attention to what you hear at Laclede, why don't you volunteer? Why don't you mentor a child how to read?" —George W. Bush, St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 5, 2004

"So thank you for reminding me about the importance of being a good mom and a great volunteer as well." —George W. Bush, St. Louis, Mos., Jan. 5, 2004

[tridim]

50. blah.. and blah... -dramatic pause- and blah.

That's what bothers me the most about his speeches. Everything comes in three's with the exact same intonation. It drives me up the friggin wall.
