Bush News Conference 8pm ET

“WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

“what is it good for?”

“absolutely nothing...”

“warrrrrrrrrrrrrr! is war and we are going to war so back your dam coutry because the more support than non-support will be better in the long run..

Its here so deal with it and stop hangin from a PETA”

“Bush will say: "We are defying the UN to punish Saddam Hussein for defying the UN."”

“yup, they wont declare war yet but theres NO way out of it!”

“I support my country, bu
t not this war madness.”

“Here is a sneak peek at the text of tonight's message:

Good evening.

This is the 17th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this Nation. Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected the national interest.

In all the decisions I have made in my public life, I have always tried to do what was best for the wealthy. Throughout the long and difficult period of this recession, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me.

In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress, support of the electorate or standing on the world stage to justify continuing that effort.

From the discussions I have had with Congressional leaders and Miss Cleo, I have concluded that because my incompetence, I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the Nation would require.

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of America first. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad.

To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of war abroad and prosperity for the privileged at home.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. President-in-Exile Gore will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.

In leaving it, I do so with this prayer: May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.

”

“Don't you weenies have a bet to wet or something?


God's speed, Mr. President.”

“you'll be out there yourself will you gojo?, wading through the sand, M16 in hand?”

“Nope. T'wont be there - I'm "too old". Bastards!”

“I wet my bet reading V's post...”

“What never.”

“Actually, maybe they will give me my M1 back (for you pups, that's a rifle). But yeah, whatever, if they want me back, I'll go again.”

“That's what I'm saying. Sign up the old poops who wanna go and give me a chance to get some Social Security.”

“You are right, you wouldn't be much use to anyone anyway.”

“It'll be over before it gets started good.

The Iraqis will drop their guns (French trained?) and surrender - knowing that they will soon be freer than they ever imagined.

SADum will be tracked and killed by a drone. Watch and see.”

“I will always support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, including, but not limited to, the First Amendment thereto, giving me the absolute Right to disagree with this war.”

“SADum will be tracked and killed by a drone

I thought Bacpac was too old to reenlist.”

“Of course, I realize that in the eyes of the hard right, I am "unamerican" for defending the Constitution.”

“I took an oath to defend the constitution against all threats both foreign and domestic.

When do we declare Rumsfeld a threat?”

“While the address is likely war related, there is an outside chance that he may be announcing bin Laden’s arrest. (what’s the emoticon for crossed fingers?)”

“This was on CNN.com about tonight's 'reality tv'

(tongue in cheek)

Bush”

“Darn, I'll have to miss it becasue it's pool league night.”

“Just read over his last speach and you'll get the gist.”

“Dubya doesn't have the votes to support a resolution for war (aka Operation Enduring Scapegoat) on the UN Security Council. Why didn't he just name Katherine Harris US Secretary of State?”

“At least she's better to look at than Rummy!”

“I mean, Powell....

Errr, I mean Ashcroft...

Errr, I mean Rice....

Errr, I mean Bush...”

“dern, i'll be at jam night. i'll check back later on ya'll ripping him a new one....”

“The oil Co's need a drone up theirs.Too bad one wouldn't be able to fly in the hot air of congress.”

“Oil my ass, the entire speech and all the questions basicaly boil down to, he is protecting the united states citizens from a nuclear prone mad man”

“He should look to the other end of the continent for Him. Or ,in the mirror.”

“Then why aren't we doing anything about North Korea...they ain't pron dude, they can hit California right now...and they are crazy.

I am not scared of Iraq, but North Korea scares the hell out of me.”

“Bush lost California, that's why.”

“From everything I've been able to find, North Korea couldn't hit us, but they could mess up the neighborhood on their side of the Pacific.

This 3-stage missile of theirs has only been fired a few times, which I don't think qualifies it as being operational. Its maximum throw-weight (payload) is said to be about 6000 lbs., while the plutonium device we dropped on Nagasaki weighed nearly twice that.

Just a few years ago, the chatter was that North Koreans had one or two plutonium bombs, but they would have to be delivered by tractor-trailer (or container ship?). Have they made headway in the making the devices smaller? That's what I want to know.

Too bad deterrence doesn't work as well with fanatics and psychotics as it did with the USSR.”

“Your good buddy Klinton gave the ChiComs technology to make their missiles more accurate and more lethal. The Chinese just passed on the secrets to the North Koreans so they could be a thorn in the side of the United States and keep us from watching them too closely. China has plans for Taiwan.


Of course I think the Chinese Communist messed up by doing this because now they're going to have to potentially face a nuclear armed Japan.”

“nucular! It's nucLear by George, nucLear!”

“Arco gas $2.01 9/10 gal. in Cal.Do I see more power,natural gas outrageous gouging again?”

“Setting aside content, I was amazed at how DISpassionate Bush was in his presentation. It was almost like he was sedated. Granted, everything was tightly scripted but--I have given many presentations/speaches ya gotta look like you're interested in what your talking about. Bush looked bored or sedated. And when they did the quick shot from the side, the toe of his right foot was tapping on the floor. I know he's not a polished speaker but he was at his worst when he needed to be at his best.”

“Umm, uh..uh, ummm uhh...uhhh

Am I the only one that ummm, uh, uh uhhh got tired of hearing...ummm, uh, uh,”

“Yeah, I did too. I also like how he had to flip pages to know who to call on for the next question.”

“I think he is worried about an economy that is paralyzed while the
war-nowar game is played and his followers start falling away.”

“Good point.”

“Oil my ass

That's noo way for a fine yung man like Eyce Tee to tawk!”

“Bush didn't tell our country anything we didn't already know, in the speech and in the Q & A session.”

“It seems that everyone knows we're going to war but him.

Weird.”

“of coarse he doesnt want to go to war but he knows he has no choice even though he presents himself as having one”

“Did anyone else notice the smirk on his face when he was talking about Turkey? He said "Turkey is our friend" I bet he wanted to say, I like Turkey...with stuffing and gravy.”

“sedated toe tapping?




wow.....”
