The 9/11 part of Bush's speech yesterday is such boilerplate that he can actually use it for any occasion. And you can too. Just fill in the blanks. Here:

It's important that we recall these lessons because the evil and hatred that inspired ( ) is still at work in the world. We saw its face on September the 11th, 2001. Like ( ), the terrorists and radicals who attacked our nation are followers of a murderous ideology that despises freedom, crushes all dissent, has expansionist ambitions and pursues totalitarian aims.

Like ( ), our new enemies believe the innocent can be murdered to serve a radical vision. Like ( ), our new enemies are dismissive of free peoples, claiming that those of us who live in liberty are weak and lack the resolve to defend our free way of life. And like ( ), the followers of violent Islamic radicalism are doomed to fail. (Applause.)

How many speeches is Bush going to have to give between now and 2008? He can just use this one, and fill in the blank with:

Communism
Fascism
Drug-resistant TB
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald
Protectionist tariffs
Cut and run Democrats
Loners on shooting sprees
Abortion on demand
Cloning
Canadian prescription drugs
Mormonism
The Sioux at Little Big Horn
The Boston Red Sox
Rosie O'Donnell
A $29 dollar DVD player from Target
My mother Barbara
The press
