I heard Bush will quote the Shakespeares tonight
"Once more into the hole we tore in their defenses y'all!"

"Cry 'God for George, Murka, (mine) and St. George (me)!"

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother"
- nah, he's not gonna say that.

3. "TB or not TB. I asks this because of health care questions."
weather is noble because there ain't no globular warnings. All reputational scientifics agree that there are no globular warnings, not caused by mans. And I hve listed to the best expertises and thought hard about this issues very long. And I am the decider, and I decided that there is no globular warnings.

5. Oh, I hope so! I had so much fun emailing my former Eng. Lit prof
that "three Shakespeares" quote. She was so appalled at first, then she joined the laughter. It would brighten her day again if he tried to spout the Bard.

But methinks you kid.

6. "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war"
He already did it, though, so saying it at this point would be redundant.

8. Alas this poor soldier I knew him well.



I think "The madness of King George" would suit him better.

13. "It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
That refers to the SOTU itself, of course.

"She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

20. It's the first Shakespeare quote that came to mind when thinking of Smirk.
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 09:29 AM by TahitiNut
... and absolutely everything he says. It's a natural. The image I have is of Macbeth freaking out because Birnham Wood is moving.

16. But he might say
"All the world it's, it's it's a stage, y'see. A stage with men...and women...on it...playing (heh-heh). They come in (smirk). And they go out. It's hard werk, but in their life, they stay the course. Not like those cut-and-run democrats."

24. From DUer Hissyspit: Copy Of Bush's 2007 SOTU Address Leaked!!
Copy Of Bush's 2007 SOTU Address Leaked!!

Found among the contents of a briefcase in a taxicab in Washington D.C. earlier tonight:

9:10 P.M. EST



THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Madam Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, members of the Supreme Court and diplomatic corps, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

Tonight the state of our Union is strong.

Exploitative introduction of misrepresented personage in the audience.

Shout-out to Joe Lieberman.

Claim of success actually attributable to someone other than himself.

Claim of success that actually occurred DESPITE policies of current administration.

Unearned, dispicable manipulation through reference to public support for U.S. military.

Excuse.

Excuse.

Weak attempt at propaganda.

Novel Rovian strategy.

Declaration of major national project that will deliberately never come to fruition.

Disingenuous declaration of major policy change.

Appropriation of inspirational words originating from a historical American leader of true integrity.

Misrepresentation of statistical truth.

Direct 'War on Terror' reference.

Implied 'War on Terror' reference.

'War on Terror,'

'War on Terror,'

'War on Terror,'

Iraq,

Iran,

Iran,

Iran,

Iran,

Iran,

'Newkler' threat.

Patriotic cliche.

Insinuation of coming really, really horrific idea.

Duplicitous, invalid, illogical justification for implication of the coming really, really horrific idea.

They hate us for our freedom.

Desperately insincere, self-serving call for bipartisanship.

Veiled implication Democratic Party-controlled Congress an aid to the terrorists.

Yet another bizarre controversial declaration destined to haunt American history.

Absense of reference to the deficit.

Absense of reference to New Orleans.

Absense of reference to 2 million-plus refugees from Iraq.

Absense of reference to unnecessary human toll.

Last-minute, two-faced response to corporate call for responsible climate policy.

Coded theo-fascist language.

Out-and-out lie.

Sociopathic robotic look.

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Empty generalized nationalistic rhetoric.

Who gives a shit? I'm the Decider.

Flop sweat.

Goodnight and may God bless America. :(

29. His rationale for giving the speech tonight, in the face of such adversity:
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 12:02 PM by EstimatedProphet
Bush: Bush shall forth: the Democrats that threaten me
only get to see my back; when they shall see
The face of Bush, they are vanished.


American people: And sickened.
