YA KNOW WHAT WOULD BE GREAT???
If, during Bush's speech tonite, the teleprompter breaks down, and Bush just stands there and freezes. Damn, that would mean the election for us. The media would replay it to death, and I can see it now; His mouth would get reeeeeeaaal tiny, and after awhile he'd chuckle and say something like, "Heh, looks like we're having some technical difficulties," and he'd laugh his poisonous little laugh and suck in vast amounts of air loudly over the audience would grow uneasy, shifty, and a din would rise up. by the time they fixed it, Bush's speech would be basically over. No one could take him seriously. It would be beautiful.
Someone oughta do that..... ;)

4. That is exactly the dream I had the other night.
I posted it on DU. Evidently my subconscious beats your conscious!

Of course in my dream, when the Chimpster froze up and began his little smirk chuckle, a wet streak started running down his pants leg.

Please let the TelePromTers FAIL! PLEASE!!!!

14. Probably not networked

So either have to have already hacked the software used, or
be physically present.

Of course, I understand that speech writers sometimes interject
things in the speech (depending on previous crowd reactions),
so there may be a small network. It would be great if it was
WiFi with nothing more than WEP. Then almost anyone, including
the press box people, could hack it.

Oh well, we all have our dreams.

7. I'd rather see someone hack the teleprompter . . .
and have the Chimperor continue reading as it scrolls the truth instead of his spew :)

18. IT'D BE LIKE ANCHORMAN!
Which'd be appropriate, 'cuz Will Ferrell played a mean Bush, too.

8. Or.....
he could go into total bully mode which he likes to do sometimes. In that case we'd have lots of strutting and sneers and the like.

not realize it. Then I want the balloons to fall in the middle of his speech and for the new stage to break down and swallow him up.

I'd also like his comments to be so outrageous that most of the US says, "Omigod! He really is f&*king crazy!" and turn him off.

16. Oh that's great! Then, in the spirit of family tradition, he could
get dizzy from the rapid spinning and throw up on delegates and invited guests!
