Bush is stumbling badly in his speech (the one that preempted Clark's..
speech). He's on CNN right now. I have never seen such an inept orator.

He is slurring, pausing, stuttering...

Can't wait to see Kerry or Edwards debate him in the General Election run-up!

3. Yes...you would think with his "military experience" that he would
know a little more about UNCONVENTIONAL warfare. Still stuck in his daddy's Cold War, though.

32. Hell, you'd think with his "Harvard and Yale degrees" he'd be able to
pronounce the word NUCLEAR.

I watched, just now, for about a minute-and-a-half, and he must have said nu-kyoo-ler about 25 times. JEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I look at him for more than ten seconds and this chant starts in my mind GET-HIM-OUT!!! GET-HIM-OUT!!!

10. I swear he is getting sympathy applause
The loooongest breaks between applause. Then...an outburst for no apparent reason, like when they clapped to hide his mangling of the word Proliferation.

Oh, god. Can you imagine...what would normally be a thrill, being invited to see the president speak, this man has made into a mockery. A traveling comedy show, except it wasn't really all that funny the first time, and the act never gets updated.

14. This the "We are all about to die unless you keep me President" speach
:nuke: A group of terroists smuggled box cutters on board planes to kill thousands and now, here we are......countries all have WMD and we are all about to die.

13. Bush is best in small doses
Served best with a side of Jon Stewart. He really shines when given the opportunity to be fodder for The Daily Show Cannon.

39. I imagine, however, that Wes is appropriately smirking and winking
at Wes Jr. and saying, "Look at his ignorance. Just look at it."

51. Turn Him On!

If the country believes this we are doomed.
A first grader could read better than this idiot.

Didn't his mother work on a program to teach children to read? Why didn't she spend time with her little Georgie? HE CAN NOT READ or SPEAK above a 1st grade level.

that they too can be president one day.

If this underachieving, stumbling, drunkard can be president...

God he has lowered the threshold.

31. And now, for the understatement of the year

He truly is a fucking idiot.

He smirks at someone, and then the idiot winks after talking about nuclear weapons!

He reminds of a kid passing gas in the corner of the classroom, and only his best friend knows.

Edited on Wed Feb-11-04 03:12 PM by jchild
His strategy to preempt Clark only resulted in EVERY true Democrat watching his speech and pledging to redouble efforts to boot his ass out of the White House in November.

47. some good Bushisms
http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms.htm

"Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004

"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us, the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the young of our country." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C. Jan. 14, 2004

"And if you're interested in the quality of education and you're paying attention to what you hear at Laclede, why don't you volunteer? Why don't you mentor a child how to read?" —George W. Bush, St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 5, 2004

"So thank you for reminding me about the importance of being a good mom and a great volunteer as well." —George W. Bush, St. Louis, Mos., Jan. 5, 2004

That's what bothers me the most about his speeches. Everything comes in three's with the exact same intonation. It drives me up the friggin wall.
