Bush is a brave brave man

[live love laugh]

They say that one of man's greatest fears is public speaking. The reason that so many fear public speaking is that they may be ridiculed, embarassed and scorned. Bush is ridiculed, scorned--a veritable clown--and unpopular with more than 70%of America's citizens. The only thing that keeps him from being plastered in tomatoes is his bubble. Yet, he speaks anyway, risking the contempt of those from polls that he claims not to pay attention to. I cannot imagine how he musters up the courage to put himself out there again and again and come up short every single time. My hat goes off to him, he is the epitome of the worst case scenario for public speaking--a hard act to follow. :sarcasm:

1. He's performing an invaluable public service.

Public speaking classes around the world show clips of him & tell their students there's no way they could manage to be that bad, even by trying, so tghere's really nothing to worry about.

13. I had the misfortune of seeing him speechify at today's press conference and I cringed.

Not only can't he speak, he can't even walk to and from the podium without looking dumber than a rock. I noticed that they are moving the podium closer and closer to the door to spare us the agony of watching his clumsy entrances and exits.

3. He's an asshole

4. assholes have a purpose

Bush serves no purpose, therefore he can't be an asshole.... he's more like fecal matter.

7. Fecal matter has purpose

...and makes great compost. GWB has NO purpose. He's negative space...or something.

16. Fecal matter is most apt...

...in terms of an analogy. Of course, evidence demonstrates that Bush is the lowest form of fecal matter: deep ocean abyss worm dung.

8. Calling bu$h an a$$hole, is an insult the genuine assholes! He is an arrogant, ignorant jerk-off!

6. I took a speaking class at university

my Speech teacher told me that if you were really nervous, you should take a shot of vodka. I was very nervous before my final...a 45 minute speech, on what, I cannot recall. I thought that I needed more than the "one shot" so I had a few. Needless to say, I looked very Bush-like at my speech. The video that the prof took could win awards on Youtube. I was a joke. I looked like a complete ass, but at least I stood there and did my 45 minutes. I got a B-.

I think that Bush is really nervous, therefore he drinks about seven shots each time he goes on tv. It would say a whole lot about his behavior and presentation.

9. This is what I call brave.

Anybody remember Dorothy Kilgallen?

10. I remember the first time I spoke in front of an audience at work

I was terrified--yet I had the desire to do it. I wanted to prove to myself that I could despite my fear. I stumbled through all of two paragraphs, head down. When I finished, I sat down and reflected. As bad as I knew I was, I felt like I had just won the New York marathon. It was a breakthrough achievement for me. I have since spoken before many large groups, I'm always nervous but each experience builds my confidence and the more knowledgeable I am about my topic, the better I speak.

12. His speech patterns and often the incoherence of what he says

validates your suspicions. I used to be a bartender and am familiar with the signs of alcohol impairment.

14. Just read Bush on the Couch

by Dr. Justin Frank. He says Bush suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), along with "untreated and uncured" alcoholism (a dry drunk). But even dry drunks with ADHD can speak English, no?

[Cleita]

17. I have even known drunk, drunks who could still put a sentence

together, but Bush is a not so dry drunk, who can't hold onto his thoughts if the thought he is trying to verbalize is too comprehensive. This is why he forgets what he is saying in the middle of his sentences. Sometimes you can actually tell when he's sober because he seems brighter and can speak normally at those times, but he's not that way very often. This makes me believe that he is drinking or popping pills because if he were dry but suffered brain cell damage, he would be consistent in his guffaws.

15. Cocaine can do wonders.
