Bush's Speechwriters in Cold Sweat This AM: "I Like PEANUTS As Much As the Next Guy" (Radio Address)

[CorpGovActivist]

Today's radio address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/03/20070331.html

My partner and I burst out laughing when we heard Bush deliver that line about liking PEANUTS as much as the next guy.

Saturday Night Live could have a *field day* with that very close call on their "Fun with Audio" cartoon segment. (Think Dick and W in the Lincoln Bedroom, with a "Mission Accomplished" banner over the canopy.)

; )

His speechwriters must have drained a couple of bottles of scotch this morning, terrified that he would botch it on live radio.

1. The verbiage in the link was actually read on the air?

Why is he still there?

[CorpGovActivist]

7. It Was...

... and it appears that they were going for a sound bite.

I just hope the Democrats counter next week with: "If the President really cared about the security of our troops, he wouldn't have sent them into harm's way without the body armor and up-armored vehicles they needed, and he wouldn't have tolerated substandard conditions at Walter Reed and other medical facilities."

2. from one Goober Pea to another. . .

:evilgrin:

[madrchsod]

3. the only people who believe him anymore are the brain dead

let him veto the bill so fox news can have something to say to their brain dead gawkers....

4. Monkey like peanut

peanut gooood
pretzel baaaad

[Marr]

5. Heheh... Ah like t' eat peanuts. Ah just like havin' peanuts in m' mouth.

[WinkyDink]

14. Ask my AG how much I love Spanish peanuts!

6. does not look like he ad libbed:

The Democrats loaded up their bills with billions of dollars in domestic spending completely unrelated to the war, including $3.5 million for visitors to tour the Capitol, $6.4 million for the House of Representatives' Salaries and Expenses Account, and $74 million for secure peanut storage. I like peanuts as much as the next guy, but I believe the security of our troops should come before the security of our peanut crop. For all these reasons, that is why I made it clear to the Democrats in Congress, I will veto the bill

8. He left out Katrina and

military hospitals and the VA. The dumb f k

[w13rd0]

9. Of course he did...

...that "pork" would make sense. Every bill that comes out of Congress, D or R, is loaded with fat. Some of the fat, in reality, makes sense. Much of it doesn't, but it doesn't really matter, if Bush vetoes a military spending bill, it will be because it limits his power. This dumbfuck has only used the veto once before, and that was to placate his relgious extreme-right wingnutter following.

[Patsy Stone]

12. That's the logic of a four year old

How do the peanut storage people affect security of the troops? That's for the remaining 30 percent, I guess. Somehow that makes sense to them.

Obviously, he's never seen a bill with other things attached to it. This is something the Democrats just decided to do one day.

10. he just lost support from the peanut gallery....

so much for the bush/cheney "FARM and RANCH" angle - the only thing farmers and ranchers are getting out of it is a bumper sticker...

[CorpGovActivist]

13. But He Just Gave a Musical Artist the Perfect "Sample" for a Club Anthem...

... I can't wait to hear what the musical geniuses do with that.
