Are you looking forward to Bush making an ass of himself tonight?
I'm assuming the MSM is still planning to interrupting Must See TV to air this 'press conference' tonight. So is Bush going to talk about Social Security, Judges, a nod to energy policy or maybe some good old Iran attack setup fist shaking?

Like watching the debates I'm sure Bush will come off as a train wreck as he stumbles about and tries to make coherent sense as he LIES his ass off about Social Security.

Here is a clue Georgie.. people as a whole aren't comfortable in the Stock Market. Too many educated people have lost their ass in it who thought they knew it all, including myself who got clipped for a 50% loss in 2001. Having watched the DOW pop 100 point drops every other day in addition to the fact its been FLAT for 5 years doesn't give Joe Average a lot of faith in your plan.

Do you think he will even have the guts to mention Iraq? You know that place we have 100,000 kids getting the crap shot and bombed out of them each day coming home with body parts missing or mental issues or in a coffin. Besides throwing on a fad sticker nobody seems to remember them, at least the MSM doesn't.

Will he give a nod to this?

Economy Grows at Slowest Pace in Two Years

9. YES. Good call.
I'll be sure to check in with all the sites still following The Bulge Controversy, too. Just to see what's new there, if anything.

13. I refuse to watch! He is an embarrassment .
The fact that he was selected then elected President boggles my mind.

15. Exactly! Makes it a little more obvious that he wasn't elected. n/t

2. Economy Grows at Slowest Pace in Two Years
will be discounted as more lies from the liberal Yahoo! media.

The economy is booming thanks to the decision to go back to a permanent war footing. Everyone at the Carlyle Group and Halliburton knows what I'm sayin's true.

As they used to say on a TV commercial in Texas 25 years ago, "If you don't have an oil well, get one!"

5. Worst Five Year Economic Period Since 1978 - 1982
The data is clear. Poor growth, low employment, rising interest rates, total inflation higher than since 1981, total real growth minus gov't deficits in red numbers, . . .

Nice going Georgie!

4. Not excited. Too scared.
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 08:37 AM by BlueIris
I'm guessing this is a warm-up to the Iran invasion.

But just out of curiosity--what number is he up to, press conference wise? Isn't this only like, his fourteenth?

7. Hate the fad stickers!
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 08:45 AM by super simian
Thanks for mentioning how hypocritical they are.

Around here they're mostly on gas-guzzling SUV pig-mobiles, too. They are the rudest drivers who would rather kill you than miss the red light. Everyone with a yellow ribbon fad sticker on their car should be forced to go to Iraq and clean up our mess there.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest!

:grr:

* is speaking about Social Security, right?
Maybe that's why the Social Security hearing in the Senate Finance Committee is not being webcasted today. No competition from those pesky Senate Dems for the evening news to offset the Idiot King's comments.

8. Please don't exaggerate the time, it is 3 years, 8 months and 22 days
Of course, it is 3 years, 8 months and 22 days too many but it beats four years! Every day counts until this nightmare is over.

Wouldn't it be lovely is the MSM decided not to carry the bumbling fool's speech? We wouldn't miss anything except lies and more lies and the people who have to genuflect before his plastic image could always watch it on Faux.

Chimpy will have a national audience to spread his continued lies about Bolton, Social Security, the filibuster, judicial nominations, etc. etc. etc. without having to take one single question (not that anyone in the MSM has the balls to actually ask a question). And, finally, there will be about 35% of the American people who will watch the hack performance and think he actually said something. Sickening.

10. God, yes. Thanks. Every time I see something like 4 years I just
want to scream. And I keep focusing on the idea that it's only 1.5 years until the midterms. That always makes me feel marginally better.

11. I hope the hell that
asshole doesn't interrupt CSI. I will hurl things at the television and spit and cuss at him. I think it's official. Shit on and insulted at school, then to have the slap in the face of the shithead village idiot possibly interfering with my "laying on the couch and doing nothing" plans tonight to lie to me and basically screw me up the ass (although he claims to be against sodomy) no matter how much I protest. I'm getting incredibly drunk and hurling things tonight if that fuckhead does that. I will be :mad: :puke: :argh: :grr: :nuke: :cry: :banghead: :rant: all at the same time. I suppose I will be over my tantrum soon, but not before I work it out of my system. Bring chimpy on. I'll moon him while I am at it tonight, assuming I can still stand up. Maybe the ACLU really will come through for me this time. A simple letter would do the trick. Where are the wonderful lawyers that will sue on a person's behalf when they are being dissed at every possible turn? According to the repugs, they are just drooling and wringing their hands wating to jump right wingnuts. More lies, I supppose.

12. I don't think he'll be surly tonight ...he won't have to bother 'splainin'
about 'hard work' or have some intellectual librul challenging his authority...THAT's what makes the Chimpster go apeshit.
As for the wire...there probably won't be a "back-shot", so his little secret won't be revealed (again). He'll just stumble over double-syllable words, and speak putting improper emphasis on certain words to appear knowledgeable while spewing lies and propaganda....you know, the usual trainwreck.

accompanied by his monotone voice makes for :boring: I won't be watching the liar.

14. I cannot stand to watch or listen to this m-fer...
Not only does his voice and face annoy the shit out of me, but every thing that comes out of his mouth is a bold faced lie. Also, our fearless leader looks like an idiot every time he speaks in public. He is incapable of putting together a coherent thought and expressing it clearly.

I get a knot in my stomach every time he speaks because I know it means that somewhere...someone is getting fucked.

16. Let's see... 8:30 EDT. mid-Survivor
Will I watch?

Only if he's included in the tribal council ceremony and we can vote him off the island.

On second thought, never mind. I think he's got permanent immunity. :grr:

17. I intend to watch the real president on West Wing tonight
On Thursday nights Bravo shows West Wing re-runs until 10:00 in our area and as usual I will be watching. If the Imperial Chimpiness says anything of importance (like that will happen) I will find out later. It hurts my beautiful mind to watch that cowardly Texas pissant try to talk. Sweet dreams all!

and would only be broadcast into the homes of those who sign the loyalty oath.

20. No
I can't even stand to look at him. He wasted two Ivy League educations and doesn't know how to speak. His fake Texas accent grates on my nerves and I can't stand the little smirk-and-chuckle thing he does. Makes me want to :puke:

27. Really, now
Well, that makes everything all better.


I just hope he isn't going to call for a draft or declare Martial Law as all neo-cons are wont to do.

Anything else is just bullshit spread by the Liar in Chief and I WON'T be watching.

30. I can't watch - just the sight of him or the sound of his voice makes
me apoplectic with rage. The fact that he even exists at all is nearly enough to drive me over the edge.
