Shrub's "entrance" for his speech tomorrow...

[bossfish]

...I just heard this on the Air America broadcast...

Apparently, the Chimperor is going to enter by being raised on a "bomb proof" hydraulic platform to the stage.

I thought a litter chair would the the way...

[Myrina]

1. OMG would it be hilarious if the thing got stuck !

DU Karma circle, anyone ?!?!?

:evilgrin:

[bossfish]

4. A "Spinal Tap" moment would be classic...

I don't know if this really true or not, but why the hell do they need a "bomb proof" platform for?

Don't they even trust their own delegates?

[Sparkly]

9. GMTA!! We had the same thought at the same minute!

:toast:

[Fud]

56. Stonehenge

Have a bunch of midgets running around dancing amoung some rocks below him.Then add the smoke and a light show.Oh you have to have the lasers also to make him look cool.

It will make the Who jelous.

[DemNoir]

2. Cool

Will he be wearing a white robe and displaying stigmata?

[Clinton Crusader]

8. bwa ha ha ha ha

>>Will he be wearing a white robe and displaying stigmata?>>

Rather than stuck, Id like to see a malfunction where it suddenly propels him into the ceiling of MSG at mach 1.

:kick:

[freestyle]

16. Wiping coffee from computer screen

That was just too funny. I can just see his little legs dangling from the ceiling now. Shrub would still give the speece though,and some media whore would praise it.

[Clinton Crusader]

29. under extreme duress...

he marched on, his legs dangling and visible through the massive caches of balloons in the ceiling, giving his speech, as Tucker Carlson bravely and for his country, climbed higher and higher to get a microphone to the heroic pResident. Pundits, among them, Novak, Scarborough, Savage, Limbaugh and Hannity hailed (heiled) it as the best speech ever given since the dawn of time and wept when re telling the story of the brave and courageous pResident...
:silly:

:kick:

[MaineDem]

17. That was my first thought too

Launch him like a rocket! :D

[unslinkychild1]

57. Hey!

You stole MY scenario, which I posted way back, called "Jerk in the box." LOL. Glad SOMEBODY read it!

[VOX]

40. The PA should play Richard Strauss's "Thus Spake Zarathustra"...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Elllllvis is in the building!" :evilgrin:

[DemNoir]

42. One thing for sure

The PA at the RNC goes to 11

[MercutioATC]

3. I heard it was a bulletproof glass box.

Talk about insulated from the real world....

[Sparkly]

6. haHA-- Anybody seen "Spinal Tap?"

The scene where the band is "hatched" from these clear pod things, and one gets stuck inside his?

That's what I want to see happen to the Chimp.

[MercutioATC]

10. I don't think Bush intends to exit the box, though...

...ever.

[Rainbowreflect]

44. The cone of silence.

If only!

[WI_DEM]

5. unfortunately they can't stop it and it keeps going up and up and

then oh, the humanity, it breaks thru the ceiling of Madison Square Garden.

[democratreformed]

25. Still unable to stop, it throws GW from the box...

right into the middle of a group of protesters!!!

[hang a left]

28. They will probably do some pre-speech testing using

a homeless person as the test subject.

[nostamj]

7. the POS needs a "bomb proof" stage

to appear before his faithful BASE....

perfect.

[seabeyond]

11. podium that rises amongst the mass of solemn sheep

to preach from the mountain a lite shining from above.

glory be

[Booster]

12. If Kerry doesn't jump on this then he really wants to lose.

Bush keeps telling us we're so much safer with him as President yet he needs a bullet proof "bubble"? Please, I know nothing about campaigning but I even I know this is a priceless moment for Kerry.

[mbali]

13. I think Bob Franken just slipped and let out a secret about the speech

Talking about Bush's speech tomorrow, he hinted that Bush would use a mike to work the crowd, seeming to agree with the anchor when he asked if that was the plan. Then he backed off, sheepishly saying, "well, I'll just say he's going to be on a stage in the round."

I definitely got the impression that Franken knows that the Bush will somehow interact with the crowd during the speech but isn't supposed to say anything about it.

Did anyone else see this? What did you think?

[Sparkly]

15. Maybe the bullet-proof box will float around the audience?

I don't know, but it sounds altogether weird.

[MaineDem]

21. Like Liddy Dole did a few years ago?

Oh man, that was painful. :)

[cheshire]

41. There were Barbies on steroids doing that the last 2 nights.

[eleny]

14. I'm going to break down and watch

This has to be the ultimate religious moment for the convention. The crescendo - the ecstasy. And it will be hilarious. A "Be there or be square" event.

[bossfish]

20. And I'm sure a beam of pure white light...

...will beam down from the rafters.

[Clinton Crusader]

36. dont forget the chorus of angels...

:kick:

[Blue_Roses]

38. ROFL!

:D

[gratuitous]

18. You mean he won't be lowered from the ceiling

Accompanied by spotlights and heavenly chorus music? He really IS a humble guy.

But pro wrestler Sting always looked soooo cool doing it. Of course, Owen Hart got his ticket punched doing something similar. Probably best to go with the low key approach.

Although what I'm envisioning is a mock-up of the twin towers, which then get run into by model airplanes. The towers smoke and flame and then collapse. All the lights go down, spots on the smoking rubble. Then, accompanied by "Thus Spake Zarathustra," the rubble quivers, a lump forms in the middle, and Chimpy emerges in a huge transparent globe, dressed in papal robes and holding two swords.

[hang a left]

35. lol n/t

[annxburns]

19. I had a dream about this (I heard it two days ago)

Bush is speaking. He is raised above the crowd to wild applause. Then in the middle of his speech he is invoking God and saying how he is on Bush's side - and all of a sudden the stage starts lowering through the floor and Bush is looking around completely flustered ...


It was a good dream

[Sparkly]

22. I love it. My dream is that his teleprompter freezes.

I would love to see him have to speak extemporaneously.

[Mad_Dem_X]

45. That would be PRICELESS

Frozen in fear, on live TV, in front of his adoring fans.

I'm avoiding this hatefest as much as possible, but I may have to watch Chimp's speech.

[neomonkey]

23. Oh darn

he won't be wearing the ill-fitting bomber outfit?

[johncoby2]

24. Dressed up like Michael Jackson

And stand motionless for 2 minutes. No, make that 7 minutes.

Now if he can only dance.

hee-hee jammon it

[jimshoes]

26. Unfortunately it won't protect him from the verbal

bombs he'll be unleashing from the cone of drivel.

[Mad_Dem_X]

46. "cone of drivel" - I love it!!

LMAO!

[Catshrink]

27. He'll be walking on water, that's for sure....

or maybe singing like Peter Pan "I can fly, I can fly, I can fly."

Guess he did fly once....

[TNOE]

30. THIS from MR. Bring It On himself

oh yea, and the people will actually BELIEVE we are really safer now. Can you say LOSER.............

[Feanorcurufinwe]

31. The bubble boy

[Connie_Corleone]

32. And the delegates

will bow before his glorious appearing from beneath the earth.

Won't this prove he's the anti-christ?

[madrchsod]

33. think blues brothers 1 and 2

in the church when john see` the light and the second where the cop floats tru the ceiling and see`s his calling..george bush floats thru the roof and starts singing "john the revolater" while stunned white assed republicans watch in horror as george bush turns into a black gospel singer....

[truthspeaker]

34. Too bad Leni Riefenstahl died. She'd be perfect as their videographer.

[VOX]

37. Smacks a bit of the play "The Man in the Glass Booth"...

In which the protagonist was eventually tried for war crimes.

[Myrina]

54. OMG, circulate that jpeg !!!

:wow: :wow: :wow:

[benburch]

39. Are you serious about that?

Rising from the floor like the Infernal One in Faustus???

[bossfish]

43. I heard it on an Air America newsbreak...

...I don't know for sure.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

48. I hope they have Bush with

spotlights, backup chorus, levitating stage, in the round, throne, cape, crown and scepter,anything on earth they can think up to hail the coming of this moron. The more they try to pump up his image the more inane he will appear. I hope they flood the stage and F/X him walking on water. The more the ridiculous and over the top the better.

Hard to be a beer drinking buddy when you are playing god. I'm afraid they are going to play the good old country preacher card instead and the Bushinistas will eat it up.

[terrya]

47. God, I hope Tweety doesn't have an orgasm over it.

He did when Fuckface landed on the aircraft carrier....

[jayctravis]

49. think of the possibilities...

Bush rises through the stage in his bulletproof cylinder, begins to speak:

"Mpph Fphlumphh Amphuphicuphs..."

Then there's a click and a squeal of feedback as Cheney takes over from behind the curtain doing his best Dubya impression...all George has to do is move his mouth and gesture like Abe Lincoln at Disneyland.

Unfortunately they forget to cut air holes in the cylinder and Condoleeza has to run up onstage with a fire axe...

...then balloons come down. "BALLOOONS! MORE FUCKING BALLOONS!"

[cmf]

50. I thought he would be entering on a donkey,

with people waving palms and saying "Hosanna".

Or maybe lowered from the ceiling in a beam of light, with an unembodied voice (belonging to George HW) saying "Behold my son".

Man, I could go on and on with this one. ;)

[michigandem2]

51. maybe he will be wheeled out like hannibal in a straight jacket...

its all very sinister...

[terrya]

52. LOL! My first laugh of the day

I can just see that image. :-)

[dennis4868]

53. you mean like how the dudes....

would enter a room in star trek?

[dubyaD40web]

55. He should take a note from Howard Stern...

FARTMAN COMETH!!

[dave29]

58. My feller Amerkins

Today we are safer, freeer, more libertious than we have been since the horrors of 9/11. Thanks to my vision, steadfast steadiness, and resolution, we have had the foresight to make the world a brighter place where thousands of points of light can be seen exploding from our superior satellites floating outside the Earth. It is these weapons than make us free and freedom that makes us make those weapons. Without our weapons, freedom would fail, and we would face imminent nucular holocaust at the whim of our trained terrorists.

I call on Mericans tonight to speak for me, since I can't speak good and make my case why John Kerry is a stupid flipflopping liar about his medals even though his bravery is without question. So, without pause, ma'am, please taker over (Bush hands Microphone to Pat Peale)

[Pikku]

59. Two words:

Fire. Brimstone.

:evilgrin:

[Democat]

60. What a coward Bush is!

And they call other people girly men?

[liberalmuse]

61. This has GOT to be a joke!

Oh please let it get stuck! I'd love to see W...well, just his head barely visible on the stage, blinking like a befuddled chimp for just a few minutes as the hired hands behind the scenes struggle to fix the hydraulic pump.

Then Ahnold comes to the rescue and lifts W up off the pump in his little glass box and heroically sets him on the stage just in time for some protestors who have broken through to pelt his bomb proof shelter with rotten produce as sheer pandomonium erupts. Blood curdling screams and the ugly sound of ripping is heard as a group of angry veterans who've stormed in behind the protestors start ripping off purple heart bandages from delegates pudgy limbs and faces. 'My face lift! My face lift!' is heard above the din. Poor Ahnold.

Cheney turns blue and passes out, while Barbara Bush straddles him and tries to revive him. Her dragon breath is too much for Cheney. Alas, he is remembered as the only Republican at the convention who earned his purple heart. Meanwhile the chimp is still being pelted with objects--mostly jewlery and false teeth as many of the rich, old harridans in attendance grow bored. There are many more tales from this night, but those are for others to tell.
