why this feeling of dread? WHY do I worry about tonite's speech?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Why do I think that Rove/Cheney have concocted some plan to embarrass the Democrats, to confuse the public and to regain all that they have lost?
Why do i fear tonite's little talk? especially when only 28% support him?

Am I being paranoid? Unnecessarily? or does my radar suspect a dirty trick?

[Redstone]

1. Nah. I think they've finally run out of steam. Relax, have a drink and watch

the speech. It oughta be good for a laugh or two.

Redstone

[LSK]

11. agreed

[CrazyOrangeCat]

2. Well . . . they still do hold a lot of cards.

But I think Redstone is right. They've been exposed in the light of day. The system is starting to work like it's supposed to.

:beer:

7. cheers. love that icon.

guinness is greatness? my poison comes from across the Irish sea, and gets aged in the land of scots.

[Matariki]

8. yep, they hold a lot of cards - but the game is Rummy

:beer:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

12. !

24. Go Fish?

[Matariki]

25. don't know - is that one where you really pay when you're holding all the cards at the end?

[babylonsister]

3. I think they're plum outa ammo. nt

[Pharaoh]

4. I can't imagine these guys will give up

with out a fight ...............psychopaths rarely do.

edit; but I hope they collapse into gibberish live on tv

[Kelly Rupert]

5. Because you're paranoid,

after 6 years of watching Bush kick our asses as we sat helplessly, impotently watching. But we own DC now. Things are different now. Sit back, relax, and watch Bush desperately plead to a nation that's long since turned its back on him.

[Uben]

6. Tonite, the invasion of Iran has begun!

Wouldn't that be a shocker?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. damn, just as I was taking a sip.

yeah, that might be one thing. Although the LAtimes article on no weapons coming from Iran is striking in its depth and timing, especially since this is a TRIBUNE company paper. Of course, TribCo owners and LATimes editors have been at war with one another.

[DRoseDARs]

9. Because when Il Dunce** speaks, the suffering of the English language is palpable. n/t

[malaise]

13. Listen well

There is nothing Bush can do to repair his relationship with the US population. What I hope is that our Dem senators have bodyguards at all times.

[patrice]

14. There will be an up-tick in the polls afterward. That's what I'm dreading. n/t

[itsmesgd]

15. it's like when you have a kidney stone and know that you will have to pee

it's gonna hurt and you can see it coming

[The_Casual_Observer]

16. The worst is over. Nothing could possibly be as bad as the 2003

one. Relax.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. oh dear, on CNN scroll, they found AQ docs in Iraq in 2003

that aspired to attack US soil.

talk about suspicious timing. Wanna bet that makes the whoration tonite?

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. According to bush, if we don't keep killing the people in Iraq

they will follow us over here like a lit fuse! So, I guess nothing has changed.

[pretzel4gore]

18. they were too damn successful...

wrecking liberal america and its long term institutions. now there's a horrible storm coming and they have tossed out all the safety net stuff...
here's a couple dots: 1) vast numbers of americans have no health insurance, vaster numbers have inadeqaute insurance, civic infrastructure needs tens/billions to fixup. and 2) the usa government can afford to throw $2 BILLION a week at iraq war, a war basically manufactured for private interests completely removed from national security....
hmmmm

[Rock_Garden]

20. I have kind of a funny feeling, too.

So I was glad to see your post. Maybe tonight will be the night that Bush reveals the true depth of depravity of his poor, twisted soul to America. I've always wondered if he'd lose it on national tv. In the end, it all depends on what the voices tell him to do.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

23. He was well medicated last week.

A neurologist buddy thought that Bush was on beta blockers to the extreme during his last talk. The affect, the monotone, the approach, and the refusal of bushistas to allow still photos of him during his performance.

So, I suspect he will be medicated again this time, but perhaps with a lower dose.

Because there are no questions, I expect no blow-ups, but I still have this bad feeling.

[Rock_Garden]

27. Now, that's interesting. I thought the same thing.

But I would never have guessed beta blockers. I can try to get a look at the size of his pupils tonight. He'll need beta blockers, for sure, if he listens to Jim Webb's rebuttal.

[tnlefty]

21. I'm feeling dread because I haven't found a drinking game, yet!!!

:evilgrin: No way I can watch him without one.

[TahitiNut]

22. It'll be a battle between two mortal enemies: Duhbya and the English language.

:silly:

I think misgivings are sane and healthy for anyone having experience with cornered rats and other desperate, lame animals. C-czar Disgustsus has a couple of bent piston rods in his 10 horsepower skull and there's no telling when he reaches for the button.

[AndyTiedye]

26. Experience

because, with the aid of their minions in the MSM, they have been able to do it to us so many times before.

[mentalsolstice]

28. I dread that *'s head is going to explode all over my HDTV! eom

[ChairmanAgnostic]

29. watching that guy on regular is bad enough, but HDTV?

seeing every pore, every tic, every miserable smirk and sneer? ouch, you are one brave person.

[mentalsolstice]

32. I'm taking the task on right now...

...but I've been fortified by three glasses of wine. I cheat!

[Cabcere]

30. Webb is my anti-dumb

I hope he lays a proper smackdown on the Shrub tonight - that'll make things better! :)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

31. there's another thread w/ his text. It is AWESOME.

I mean, i read it twice, and I still can't wait for it live.
