4. The last time I saw him speak on TV
he actually cleared the back of his throat with one of those big, rattling, "gunna-hock-a-lugie" sounds. This guy has no class at all. Perhaps that is why the Freepers love him so much...."look Betty Lou, he's gunna hock a lugie, jus' like we do!"

5. Rice runs out screaming "LIAR! And you're lousy in bed!"
You know, the pressure may get to her. I suspect that she didn't become a scholar to be forced into lying by a man with one third her IQ, and one tenth her learning.

Either he tosses his pretzels...
OR...he trips and falls off the podium...he's been known to do THAT a time or two!:eyes:

If the latter, wouldn't it be fitting that he'd land..right in Helen Thomas' lap!:D

B-)

13. Babbles incoherently, monosyllabic responses, problems with word finding
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 03:26 PM by lunabush
and a glazed look in his eye. The press gives him an A for effort and for not pissing his pants or vomiting on stage. Oh, wait, that's been done three previous times. Never mind. :eyes:

17. Although it's not at all likely...
... I'd love to see the press burst into uproarious laughter, then walk out on him, leaving just the reporters from Fox and the Washington Times standing there staring at him....

19. Proclaims himself Funkmaster General
and expresses his plans to lay down the funk as such. Then starts grooving to some Commodores music that is playing in his head. Then Cheney rushes in and starts taking questions.

24. I will be satisfied with nothing less than....
a complete and very public meltdown.

I want him curled up in the fetal position under the podium sucking his thumb by the end of the conference.

27. During the press conference, he suddenly develops Tourette's Syndrome.
And he's permanently afflicted with it after.

That might be amusing.

31. Drunk and trys to start a fight.
Starts pointing at a young reporter and says "You wanna piece of me boy? Huh?"

Slurs words and rips ear piece out "Goddamn it, Condi. I KNEW that one."

Yells off stage to Laura, "WOMAN go get me a beer damn it."

40. how about -- "and yaks it up into Wolf Blitzer's lap"?
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 05:47 PM by Lisa
I would pay to see that.


p.s.

Actually, here's what I had in mind. One of "Bush's" ears falls off, and he reverts to a Brooklyn accent, admitting:

"I'm just Howie Finkelsteyn, a dinner theatre actor from the Catskills, and when Bush needs to be seen in public they slap some latex prosthetics on me and make me perform up here because most of the time he is OUT OF HIS MIND ON CRACK and rolling around in a padded room screaming about giant flesh-eating spiders and how he is the Emperor of the planet Ganymede and talks to God every day. Cheney and Rumsfeld are plotting to make war on the whole world, I'll tell you everything, EVERYTHING, just please get me out of here!!!"
