Bush: I stood in the ruins of the twin towers on September the 4th!
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 04:33 PM by plastic_turkeys
'I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I will never forget.'

'In a new term as your President, we will finish the work we have started. We will stand up for terror!"


It's time for Bush to come clean about his medical problems. The guy just ain't right.

8. It's at the White house site!!!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/10/20041018-11.html

I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I will never forget. Bernie might remember the workers in hard hats that were yelling at me and yelling at us, "Whatever it takes." A man grabbed me by the arm, just coming out of the rubble and he said, "Do not let me down." I have a responsibility that goes on. I wake up every morning thinking about how to make our country more secure. I acted again and again to protect the American people. I will never relent in defending our country, whatever it takes. (Applause.)

Take a screenshot before they change it!!!

16. That was the "Dress Rehearsal"
He had the bullhorn and the little blue jacket then too. Rove was feeding him the lines through the implant but at one point there was confusion. Rove repeated what the next line was. * got miffed and retorted "I can hear YOU!" And well, they liked that so much they decided to work it into the planned speech. :crazy:

note-I'm really not MIHOP or LIHOP. But that's just too damn strange.

10. Probably just a typo..
We have got to discuss more important things than this petty shit. Like the men dieing in Iraq for oil. These men should not be fighting this Presidents war for oil.

13. Typo, my ass n/t
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 04:33 PM by MADem
EDIT--THIS EXCHANGE IS PRICELESS IN ITs STUPIDITY!!!

BUSH: Most Americans still felt that terrorism was something distant, and something that would not strike on a large scale in America. That is the time that my opponent wants to go back to.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

What was wrong with those good old days? Booo, booo, we want MORE TERRORISM, we want it CLOSE, we want it HERE, on a large scale!!

14. For a man who's based his whole Presidency on "post 9/11"
To accidentally say 9/4 is just plain wierd.

There's a video compariing how lucid Bush was in 1994 in the Ann Richard Debates compared to the 2004 debates - something is wrong with this man.

18. Bush said September 4th
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/14/america.under.attack/

However, he did stand on the ruins of the WTC on September 14.
It took three whole days to get his ass to NYC.

Then he went back to DC to speak at a church service that night.

43. don't forget -- he and Laura "got a laugh out of it"
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2003-09-15

George W. Bush: But the day ended on a relatively humorous note.... And the agent comes running up and says, "We're under attack. We need you downstairs," and so there we go. I'm in my running shorts and my T-shirt, and I'm barefooted. Got the dog in one hand, Laura had a cat, I'm holding Laura --

Laura Bush: I don't have my contacts in , and I'm in my fuzzy house slippers --

George W. Bush: And this guy's out of breath, and we're heading straight down to the basement because there's an incoming unidentified airplane, which is coming toward the White House. Then the guy says it's a friendly airplane. And we hustle all the way back up stairs and go to bed.

Mrs. Bush: And we just lay there thinking about the way we must have looked.

Peggy Noonan (interviewer): So the day starts in tragedy and ends in Marx Brothers.

George W. Bush: THAT'S RIGHT-- WE GOT A LAUGH OUT OF IT!

53. Wait, hang on a second.
I thought Laura was back in DC on 9/11. Wasn't she with Ted Kennedy and some other folks? She's not exactly memorable to me, so I'm probably way off. However, I thought I remembered how ironic it was that Ted Kennedy was helping keep Laura 'safe' while her brave husband was scampering around the country from bunnyhole to bunnyhole. I also kind of, sort of remember (How's that for a definite maybe?!) Junior actually thanking Kennedy when he came back from his hideyhole. Yes? No? I fell down and hit my head? That wouldn't surprise me all that much! ;)

28. He confused the practice run with the real one
If you're into MIHOP, then it's evident that he was simply referring to the dress rehearsal for 9/11.

On a side note, did anyone suspect that the situation with the bullhorn and the fireman (Where Bush responded to an off-camera remark by saying, "They'll all hear us.") was a set-up.

Who was the off-camera voice? Was it one of Bush's men lofting him a practiced line?

If that was exposed, would it hurt Bush?
