He's Going To Disgrace Us Again Tomorrow, You Know He's Going To Do It

[ThomWV]

Bush will speak before the UN General Assembly tomorrow.

George will be representing the American people; you, me, our parents, our children, black, white, brown, yellow, red, Jew, Christian, Muslim.

He will disgrace us. You know he's going to do it.

He will lie, he will distort, he will cherry-pick facts and mix them with fantasy and he will do it in the faces of some of the most intelligent and ruthless people in the world. His speech will be interpreted into many languages at once; anyone who wants to hear it and know what he said will be able to. And the result?

He will disgrace us. You know he's going to do it.

1. He'll probably fart once or twice, too. You know, just to liven things

up. :eyes:

[zanne]

4. He's like that uncle nobody talks about. nt

[Bunny]

6. The uncle that everyone secretly dreads, and tries to avoid any

contact with? Yep, that's our George.

[gratuitous]

5. I don't think so . . .

Bush wouldn't want to be accused of gassing his own people, would he?

[Bunny]

7. He seems to enjoy doing it to his own employees, so why would

a little something like the United Nations stop him?

[Kutjara]

2. I feel sorry for the translators.

Anyone who can turn Bushspeak into coherent sentences must be part psychologist and part psychic.

[yellowcanine]

9. Good point. How does one translate "umm"? If * could not use that he

wouldn't be able to talk at all.

[texanwitch]

14. He uses "umn" every third word.

He is the Umn President.

[Swamp Rat]

10. If I was translating, I would NOT attempt to make his sentences coherent.

I would translate the mistakes as best I could to represent them in their natural form - in other words, I would do my job.

[Kutjara]

13. I see your point, but professional translators don't always...

...make word for word translations of everything said, because certain idioms and turns of phrase have no direct equivalent in different languages. So the translators have to use the closest local idiom that carries similar meaning. That must be tricky enough when the original speaker is intelligible. When it's Chimpy, however, the translators must have to put his words into the context of a kind of idiocy with which the listener is familiar. That seems pretty tough to me.

3. As sure as the sun will come up tomorrow

:shrug:

[ForFuxakes]

8. Memo to rest of the world

Please disrergard the funny little man from Texas. He does not know what he is talking about nor does he speak for ALL Americans....

[The Deacon]

16. What Funny Little Man From Texas?

Oh, you mean Junior, the Connecticut Cowboy. Got his first pair of boots at a cute little shop next to Andover & his first cowboy hat from a place near Yale...didn't discover his "Texas roots" until he discovered that the Texas Air National Guard was infinitely more bribeable than the Connecticut version...

[EFerrari]

11. We should call or email the U.N. and distance ourselves from this

felon.

[etherealtruth]

12. At best he will embarrass us ...

...however, you are most likely correct, he will disgrace us.

[butterfly77]

15. He is not disgracing me...

the whole world Knows that he is a disgrace. I will be getting my player ready to record :popcorn:

[Bonhomme Richard]

17. The fact is nobody at the UN is interested in listening to...............

his shit anymore.

[SoCalDem]

18. Let us revisit his past UN performance..enjoy

The man prepares

Kofi takes the measure of the man

The little man wishes he'd stopped at the mens' room

So he wrote a note to his keeper Condi

The man carefully studies his script

The little man comments about his UN appearance

[EFerrari]

19. LOL!

:rofl:

[LoKnLoD]

20. This one is missing

Your forgot the "Condi can I have a bathroom break one"...

[SoCalDem]

22. I forgot about that one.. I added it..Thanks

:)

[chat_noir]

21. a repeat of the 9/14 S. Korea president visit reactions

[leveymg]

23. That's alright. They've seen him before that way.

[EFerrari]

25. As a circus person, I object to this guilt by association.

lol

[cboy4]

24. It would be far less time consuming to ONLY discuss the events

he WON'T disgrace us at.

But then again, I guess we wouldn't have a dang thing to talk about. :shrug:

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Only one thing all the delegates can do in response to having

their individual and collective intelligence insulted by * speaking to them: First time he mentions "terror" or "terrorists", they should all start banging their right shoes on the desks in the spirit of Kruschev.

[HereSince1628]

27. It's billed as a speech on the need to impose US democracy

on the world.

Everyone in the US knows that then means the speech ISN'T about democracy but rather is about making the world safe for corporate plundering. The R's have been conflating free-range capitalism with democracy for decades. Cultures which prioritize other values clearly object to having to subject themselves to capitalist brigands and pirates. This speech will win no new friends.

[Ilsa]

28. His handlers have been feeding him "big words" lately.

He's been getting multi-syllabic tutoring that he likes to spring on the Press Corpse. I'm waiting for another "dissemble" vs "disassemble" error.

[melody]

33. My favorite is the scatology/eschatology one

Although with Bush, it's easy to see how the confusion would happen.

[Ilsa]

34. Oh, I must have missed that one! nt

[catmandu57]

29. Is there someone we can write to at the UN

to apologize for this buffoon and to let them know he only represents 1/3 of the American people.

[melody]

30. We should fax ahead our disowning of anything he says

I mean, just for the record.

These days, as long as he doesn't slur his speech, misuse a grammar school level vocabulary word, or
put the moves on the German Chancellor, I figure we're ahead.

[Philosoraptor]

31. I know, I can't wait.

[bklyncowgirl]

32. You're missing the point. This isn't about the UN.

This is about domestic politics.
