Bush is coming up out of the stage? Sounds like goddam Spinal Tap.

[WilliamPitt]

No one knew who they were, or what they were doing...

The Druids.

Will there be midgets dancing around a tiny Stonehenge model?

Does George W. Bush go to eleven?

Unreal.

[MikeG]

1. What if he gets stuck? Will the SS wrestle the stage to the ground?

[Richardo]

2. Watch out for the foil-wrapped cucumber:

[WilliamPitt]

4. He's got armadillos in his trousers

[Richardo]

6. "How much more black could it get? The answer is: None. None more black."

:D

[jackstraw45]

12. Looks more like a stuffed mushroom to me....

Oh, I'm feeling nauseaus.

[stevedeshazer]

28. Yup. Watch out!

[EnfantTerrible]

3. Yeah and he's covering...

HELLHOLE as a tribute to our efforts in Iraq

[NewYorkerfromMass]

5. This is too ludicrous to be true

I simply don't believe it. Are they that stupid?

O.K. don't answer that.

[LoZoccolo]

7. Can I ask a /practical/ question?

Will the stage be a revolving one?

[Ishoutandscream]

10. I don't know, but I'm looking forward to the laser show afterwards

nt

[TheRovingGourmet]

39. Or have a shiny pole in the center? :)

[Lisa]

60. seriously -- it might be

Press accounts this spring suggested that they were going to use one. (Sorry, no link -- I remember sending a news item on this to a friend in NYC, and she laughed herself sick at the thought of Bush "making like he's Billy Joel".)

[hippiegranny]

8. it would be too funny if he did

but so far I think it is an unsubstantiated rumor.

[displacedtexan]

9. I just dealt with this on my blog...

When I heard the rumor, 2 images came to mind...

[Junkdrawer]

11. I wonder if they have enough dry ice????

And how will they light him? Will there be a laser show? :think:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. The specially constructed PLATFORM on which Bush will rise

will be his only platform of the convention.

[jackstraw45]

14. The term "Puppet Show" IS appropriate too

Puppet Show
that is
The RNC

[blm]

15. It will look preposterous and cheesy. Like "Mission Accomplished" squared.

.

[kentuck]

16. It's a spiderhole...

Subliminally remind them of Saddam Hussein? :)

[Jacobin]

17. I'm hoping he tries to walk on water

A DEEP pool of water.

[gollygee]

18. Wow. I might actually have to watch it

I haven't watched any of it yet but that sounds entertaining enough. Will they have fog machines and a laser show?

[Bridget Burke]

21. Consider watching with the sound off!

It might be worth it if you don't have to actually hear the little pissant try to talk.

Especially given his known propensity for falling down!

[Connie_Corleone]

19. My friends think I'm making up the confetti story

They don't believe the confetti will have pictures of Bush/Cheney and their wives on it.

[West Coast Democrat]

20. It is to symbolize the Second Coming....

[jpak]

22. Yeah, and if you threw a bucket of water on him

he'd melt back down in puff of smoke...

[jmowreader]

23. No, Bush doesn't go to eleven

He goes to bed at nine. This speechifying stuff is keeping him up waaaaay past his bedtime.

I do predict the 18-inch Stonehenge model descending from the lighting system.

[Mad_Dem_X]

24. You all have me LMAO

Will there be a tribute to St. Hubbins, the Patron Saint of Quality Footwear?

I hope the sound is done in "Dubly.";)

[Philostopher]

25. I have laughed myself sick entertaining myself

with visions of his arm reaching around the malfunctioning stagecraft, like the gigantic egg that wouldn't let Derek Smalls out ... stagehands banging on it with hammers and attacking it with torches, just like the scene from Spinal Tap.

I'll mostly likely be on my way to Springfield for the midnight Kerry/Edwards rally, so sad I won't get to see it in all its clusterf*cking glory. Okay, not really.

But just once, for old times' sake:

STONEHENGE!

[Catfight]

26. OH MY GAWD..that's funny...can they make him anymore ridiculous?

Will he have a guitar?

[hatrack]

27. I hear Rick Wakeman will do a synthesizer solo during The Ascent

It'll feature lots of cool air-raid sound effects and explosions to go with the lasers and dry ice!!!

[belle]

29. Me, I keep thinking of the Kathy Lee Gifford episode on South Park...

Maybe Condi can sing to him about making sweet love down by the FIRE. Or McCain. one of the two.

[johnnie]

30. "What's wrong with being sexy?"

Is he going to be in a pod when he comes up thru the floor?
I hear his speech is entitled "Lick my love pump"

[Davis_X_Machina]

31. The altar call and the laying on of hands....

...require the change in the set.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

32. Will Pitt - scream about the evidence of the Crusades-Crosses on stage!?

Crosses on the RNC podium?!? It looks like a religious TV studio.

The rising of their saviour, Jesus Bush, on that stage is HIS RESSURECTION FOR A SECOND TERM!

THIS IS A FUCKING CHRISTIAN CULT. THE NATION TAKEN OVER BY JIM JONES WITH A BIBLE AND NUKES.
IT SAYS 'SCREW THE CONSTITUTION, UN, GENEVA CONVENTIONS, WORLD CRIMINAL COURT, CONGRESS.' AMERICA UBER ALLES UNDER GOD.

This is The Chosen Few and Master Race dominionist mindset. This is deciding who gets tortured to death in the name of God.

We need de-programming really badly. TV must be stopped.

Will, please show the crosses on the RNC pulpit as a warning.

[Wind Dancer]

33. Exactly!

It's all in the master plan. The government controlled media is nothing more than a propaganda machine that has brainwashed over half of the country. You just can't make this stuff up.

[ladjf]

36. You have done a great job of describing the mental illness

that has inflicted America. Mass psychosis, no less.

[Claire Beth]

34. I'm surprised....

they don't have him coming DOWN from the ceiling, screaming thru a megaphone that "JESUS SENT ME....THE RAPTURE IS NEAR....I WILL SAVE YOU....I MUST BE RE-ELECTED....I'M A GODSEND !!"

Those people really scare me.

[Kadie]

35. bushie's opening remark "Welcome, my Children"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=796505&mesg_id=796505

[no name no slogan]

37. These go to eleven (n/t)

[LibDemAlways]

38. Since they are going the rock star route...

I want to see the chimp jump into the mosh pit along with Pickles and the tequila twins. That would be must see tv.

[WI_DEM]

40. Let's hope it gets stuck on the way up and they have to work

feverishly to raise him up. It takes hours and he doesn't get to deliver his acceptance speech until 2AM--or as they say "prime time in Guam."

[lectrobyte]

41. Sniff the glove! Sniff the glove!

My bullshit meter goes all the way to eleven. Most of them stop at 10, but I had this one custom made to go to eleven.

[donkeyotay]

42. What a hoot this thread is

I didn't know that going to hell could be so much fun. I might have to peek at the monkey... maybe just a little one, with the sound off.

[sadiesworld]

55. I love your username...

a classic. :hi:

[GreenArrow]

43. The Speech to be titled:

"Smell the Glove."

[Calm Like A Bomb]

44. He's a jack-in-the-box! Or more appropriately, an ass-in-the-box:

The newest addition to *'s toy collection. Move over Game Boy!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

45. Rising from the Underworld so that he can get last minute instructions

from Satan.

[yardwork]

46. Helloooooooo Cleveland!

Maybe he'll get lost trying to find the podium.

[no name no slogan]

52. Authorized Personnel Only

He's with the band rigth? That makes him authorized personnel then. Just down this hall, take a jog to the right, go up the stairs to the door. That's it.

[GumboYaYa]

47. In ancient times,

hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing...

Kinda sounds like Cheney's office....

[eleny]

48. I hope he just keeps going all the way to the "other father"

[BillZBubb]

49. If Bush* is rising, can the Rapture be far behind?

Doesn't the Rapture precede the second coming? Maybe Jesus George will be preaching to an empty hall? All those "Christians" raptured away!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. GOP throwing the toilet into reverse

With the crap coming back up the pipes.

[oasis]

51. The Repugs are trying to set up a cozy scene, ala Liddy Dole when she

campaigned a few years back. It'll work "visually" only if their robotic hero will relax in the more casual setting..

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

53. are you serious....this is too campy.

...on some sort of lift?

[Gregorian]

54. Wouldn't a jet pack be more appropriate?

We don't want none of this namby pamby rock star stuff. Jet's, BABY!

Better yet, why not shoot him out of a cannon?

[vetwife]

56. The idiot ! If he is trying to pull a Jesus moment....

Jesus according to the scriptures ascended to heaven, he didn't crawl out of the floor like a rat. If he does this he will show us that he is truly the DEVIL and coming from Hell..Upwards to Eart.
What a Moran ..Must be using Archie Bunker's Bible !

[Bunny]

57. Like this?

: In "This is Spinal Tap," Derek is shown nearly being decapitated by a malfunctioning pod during a Milwaukee performance of "Rock ’N Roll Creation." The sequence caused some anger by the band towards director DiBergi, who they dubbed "The Butcher" for what they saw as selective editing. Derek: "Seventy or 80 percent of the time—well, 65 percent at least—I got out of that pod straight away. He doesn’t show that. It’s like if I had a camera and followed Marty DiBergi around, and one day he’s about to go to the loo and he can’t get his zipper open, and he’s just tugging and tugging and tugging at his zip and getting this very painful look on his face and turning all red and getting anxious and starting to whine a bit. Now, I’ve filmed all these other times when he gets his zip open, you know? But I don’t use those, and what does Marty DiBergi become when the film goes out? He becomes the geezer who can’t get his zipper open." The band took a "zero defect approach" to the 1992 tour in support of "Break Like the Wind," according to Martha Quinn, who hosted NBC’s "A Spinal Tap Reunion." (CT) During the tour, Tap emerged from giant eggs rather than pods. When Derek’s opened, a man in a chicken costume would appear, dance around, and then exit the stage. Derek then entered stage left to take over. See also Jap Habit.

[aikidoodler]

58. nah

it'll be cheney and zell miller dancing around a miniature twin towers

[wwbarnes]

59. An Organist Will Play A Haunting Melody ...

as the podium rises, and the commentators will wipe a tear from their eye and inform us that the title is Lick My Love Pump

[Gregorian]

62. I don't think Mojo Nixon would be too happy about that.
