[dubyaD40web]

1. He's finally done!

[Sparkly]

2. So, the point of all that was.....???

:shrug:

[IChing]

9. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and threats not solutions as normal

nothing that addressed peace, my way or the highway cowboy shit.

[Skidmore]

10. To remind them that he's the big man around campus

and that he'll kill their asses if they don't agree. Bring 'em on is still the watchword.

[Botany]

45. The point is WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

Just because he lied, the crowd had hate in their eyes (insulting the Syrians was smart),
smart muslims sent him a letter, and the Holy Land (Way to go Asshole ... crusade time
talk) is something doesn't give you the right to crack wise about our leader.

[Jack Rabbit]

73. They don't hate America

It's Bush and the neoconservatives to whom they take exception.

At that, I am at one with them.

[VolcanoJen]

3. Thank God that's over

Polite smattering of applause, a smiling and beaming Condi, a smirking Bolton, a proud Laura.

A puking VolcanoJen. :puke:

[Kierkegaard]

6. He should be called the boron president...

as in a contraction of 'boring' and 'moron.'

[Avalux]

7. He made no sense. What was the objective?

He was supposed to come down hard on Iran. :shrug:

[malaise]

Seriously he is so fugging disconnected from reality

that it makes no sense to discuss how bad the speech really was - good fugging grief. He said nothing - zilch expect attack, attack, attack.

[H2O Man]

40. He is Herod. n/t

[acmavm]

80. Which one? The Great? Agrippa?

[H2O Man]

92. I get these confused.

It seems that "the great" would fit in terms of ordering the slaughter of the innocents; Antipas for executing the Baptist and the Messiah; and Agrippa II, who rode his daddy's coattails, but lacked his talents, which resulted in days of rage.

[acmavm]

95. I think he's more the Agrippa type than either of the others.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

54. I don't know, after listening to the speech I think it would be wise

for other countries in the world to post a potential "Freedom on the March" alert.

[Divine Discontent]

64. lolololol

yes, it sounded like "iran we're coming for ya" in some way... then you syria.....

[arcane1]

52. the objective= clips for domestic consuption

and chosen snippets to air on FOX

[IChing]

59. Yes,

We don't give a fuck what the world thinks
the smirks he gave during the speech were amusing in so much
he always gives them to his bushbot crowd as an applause sign that flashes
nothing occurred. I heard a lot of coughing from delegates.

[dogday]

4. Condi looked angry

did she see the faces of some of the people in the crowd? :rofl:

[Greyhound]

16. She always looks pissed off, it comes from the evil within. n/t

[peacetalksforall]

28. Mz Liar was probably ticked because he didn't lie the way she would

have lied - he didn't create A PERFECT LIE as she would have.

[kid a]

5. Any final applause??

[cspanlovr]

12. Yes, but it was tepid and very short.

[Subdivisions]

13. Only out of respect for the office, but not for the man

[Sparkly]

17. Just a "polite" applause. nt

[rodeodance]

30. fair to meddling.

[IChing]

25. smithering, I heard coughing and talking during the speech

coughing from many delegates anyone else hear that?

[Freedom_from_Chains]

56. I saw a lot of arms crossed which is generally not a good sign.

[Divine Discontent]

62. yes, many coughs, I heard them. saw the laughing, and the crossed arms

and yet David Gregory, apparently, from what I've read said it was good, is that right?

[IChing]

78. I wouldn't know I don't need him or gibson or anyone

to tell me what I saw or heard
So I put on some music right after. Philip Glass, Dance 2, CD Dance pieces.
:)

[rodeodance]

8. condi is always pounting about something!

[dogday]

18. She was smiling big as life at the beginning

of the speech, sitting with Bolton who also was smiling... Yuk, it was weird....

[bdamomma]

87. ugh bolton another sickie.

[Divine Discontent]

11. THE RESULT

not one in speech applause - not one powerful moment (and I was being fair, and there was nothing in that speech) - and sorry, Mr. Bush, but that speech sounded like a....


1st year college student's report on recent world history - did it not?

I'm surprised the applauded at the end, but they have couth I guess. Wonder if the Iranians clapped?? just kiddin...

[Skidmore]

20. MSNBC is calling it idealistic and given in hostile territory but

going "big" to speak to the American people. Puke. And that was from David Gregory.

[Divine Discontent]

33. good grief..... it was a recent world history lesson for beginners n/t

[rodeodance]

43. Gregory is a skiozoid at times.

[Brotherjohn]

69. Ummm... who's he speaking to? I thought it was the U.N.

The very idea of "using" the U.N. to speak to the American people is arrogant and disrespectful of the entire world.

[Brotherjohn]

70. If by "hostile territory", you mean "the world"... then yes. (nt)

[habitual]

38. Bingo n/t

[lwcon]

14. Billy Madison's principal knew what to say about a speech like this

"...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[Sydnie]

23. ROFL!!

Perfect. Thanks!

[Subdivisions]

24. LOL! Perfect!

[Cha]

37. That's accurate and funny!

Everyone in the United Nations is now dumber for having heard the chimp's squawkings.

[Peace Patriot]

46. Who is Billy Madison? I love that guy! And who was he talking about? n/t

[Cha]

57. It's from a Adam Sandler movie..

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/

[lwcon]

58. There are some things they don't teach you on NPR :v)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[Cha]

60. Beatcha!

:toast:

[lwcon]

61. Yup, I am pwned!

___

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[Hepburn]

82. Ooooooooh....

....what a PERFECT description! I agree!

[K8-EEE]

85. Oh, XLNT, Thanks For That, LOL!! n/t

X

[rodeodance]

15. IraN PM not at session: but WH went to great pains to not cross paths

with him.

[rodeodance]

21. abc saying WH must be disappointed -as Iraq PM did NOT come to

hear him speak.

[Avalux]

26. They just said he will speak at 7 pm EST. n/t

[H2O Man]

19. He is a repulsive human being.

President Bush continues to insult the rest of the world, to cause others to resent our nation, and to isolate this country from the good will of those who should be our friends.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

63. I thought it was a pretty clear speech.

Do things our way or we are going to dump the U.N. and make war on the whole lot of those who don't follow us.

[Cha]

72. What a bunch of roaring

bullshit..thanks for the summary!

[whistle]

22. Flat, un-inspiring, no vision, total bull-shit....

...so why the polite applause?

[ShortnFiery]

44. Because as a fellow DUer pointed out yesterday,

Save for Bolton, they all are true diplomats. :P

[whistle]

86. Yes, I believe that, only America comes across as the bully in the

...school yard

[bluestateguy]

27. May I ask why all of you are giving him the attention?

Just ignore him.

[IChing]

36. I wanted to see rotten tomatoes

I did hear coughing though

[Cha]

66. Here's one..

Somebody said they were "smirking back at him"..that's the best!

[spanone]

41. I would if he would go away, but he won't.

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

29. NPR guests rip bush speech...

Listening right now to NPR - they say he could have given this speech two years ago.

[malaise]

34. Link please n/t

[Supersedeas]

67. So which speech did David Gregory hear--did he get the KKKarl facs?

[Cha]

75. What does that mean..he

could have given it two years ago? How about never?

[Subdivisions]

31. The World laughs in hushed whispers at our "leader"

[bandb 88]

32. did

he say anything all i heard was blah blah and the occasional flah

[bedazzled]

65. that's exactly what it was! hard to listen to...

because he wasn't saying anything! the only thing that holds your interest is waiting for him to screw up. or insult the syrians or something...

[habitual]

74. how right you are

the most interesting parts of any * speech are the parts where he mangles our language and stumbles all over himself.

[VolcanoJen]

35. Bill Richardson on CNN: That was a hardline speech.

"He lectured the UN. I wish he would have asked for their help, their help in Iraq, in Sudan, in Darfur. There's no cooperative spirit there."

Exactly.

[Avalux]

42. That's it exactly. Authoritarian; no compromise. I am embarrassed.

:-(

[rodeodance]

51. Bush lectures to congress and to us constantly!

[Supersedeas]

71. So, where is the 'idealism' that David Gregory is referring to--idealism

read from the post-speech Rovian talking points?

[Seabiscuit]

39. I missed the smirks - all I saw was an audience chrashingly bored.

[chat_noir]

47. his captive audience

[Subdivisions]

50. Yep! That's his audience. Inspired bunch, aren't they?

[niyad]

76. palestine seems to be sleeping, the guy next to him looks like he's about

to give the middle finger salute.

[Cha]

77. "Stand Up for Peace"?!

After we bomb the shyte outta the Middle East and who's next?

Fucking hypocrite.

[bedazzled]

48. that was his "my way or the highway" speech - on steroids

gosh, his eyes look like pissholes in the snow.

there's a whole vortex of evil in those beady little holes

i was sorry to see that they clapped. any applause was undeserved

[rodeodance]

53. i did not think he came across forceful at all. Rather lame.

[WyLoochka]

49. Wish they had done the

right thing while they had him there - arrested him!

[Divine Discontent]

68. there's the solution! n/t

[Oilwellian]

55. It was as though...

Bush thought he had all of the answers to the world's woes, not realizing he's the cause of many of them. The man is delusional.

[Peace Patriot]

79. I was hoping the Iran PM would interrupt with questions from the floor:

"Are you going to invade us or not? Are you going to slaughter our people or not? Are you going to torture our people or not? Are you going to destroy our country the way you destroyed Iraq or not?"

And then Iraq PM would join in, and ask: "Where is the electricity? Where are the schools? Where is the safety of the streets? Where is civil order? What did Halliburton DO with all that money you handed them by the truckloads? What kind of people ARE you?"

And then the Afghan PM (he was there) would ask: "Why did you forget about us? Why can't I travel anywhere outside Kabul? What about the Taliban resurgence, and the poppy trade resurgence, while you have wasted all these lives and resources in Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, and that we all know posed no threat?"

And then the Venezuelan ambassador would rise and ask: "Why are you pouring money illegally into political campaigns against our government? Why did you applaud the attempted military coup? What are your designs upon Venezuela?"

And then all the representatives of the world's nations would rise as one, and ask: "How dare you come here and preach to us--you who torture and kill, you who lied to us, you who despise international law, you who would destroy the United Nations if you could? How dare you?! You can barely muster the support of forty-percent of your people--how about we investigate your so-called elections, hypocrite?!"

And they would jeer him off the stage and pelt him with rotten fruit.

Ah, me. Well, polite applause is almost as damning.

[acmavm]

81. Geez, I agree. Sure wish that's what had happened. In a

perfect world, it would have.

edit: I take that back. In a perfect world bush** would never have gotten away with stealing two elections.

[glitch]

83. Thank you for the lovely vision. Cheers me up a bit just thinking it. nt

[opihimoimoi]

84. THEY shoulda MOONED HIM

[bdamomma]

88. or just got up and left

we should have someone to just come out before he speaks and say he does not speak for the American People. I do not want to be associated with this jerk.

[opihimoimoi]

91. That woulda made a STATEMENT he needed to see...

But I still maintain the Mooning Concept is more DRAMATIC

[onethatcares]

93. I give a big amen from the congregation.

I've often wondered why, why, why. These people listening know the game, they should have all gotten up, turned around, dropped their drawers and mooned the mother. That would have shown him his standing.

[Straight Shooter]

94. From your keyboard to God's ears, Peace Patriot. n/t

[lady lib]

89. Randi says they were rolling their eyes at Bush.

Would have loved to have seen that, but I missed it. :eyes:

[bdamomma]

90. yea, I'm listening to Randi also

bush is FOS, and he is totally delusional, how many of those diplomats must have said to themselves the American people have to be crazy to have him as their pResident.

bush is a disgrace to all of us, what a freaking frat boy, and whatever bad deeds he has done he will be paid in full. What a hypocrite he is.

Bush is toasting Annan, he doesn't give a shit about Kofi, Bush is such an idiot.
