"Good evening fellow 'Murikins: Since September 11, 2001..."

11. It will be in the first paragraph of the speech
Probably in the first sentence.

"Ever since the attacks on September the Eleventh, Two Thousand and One..."

22. Do NOT play the Bush speech drinking game with "9/11" or "terror" ...
...unless you have a trained nurse nearby.

BTW, people who don't drink at all can still play if they just pick a phrase like "Budget Deficit" or "Minimum Wage".

29. Well, I'm stuck in a hotel room for 2 days so I have time
to recover, although I'm sure I will have to quit before the chimp does. You can only do so many shots but the chimp can go on forever :crazy:

16. At least we are not taking a shot every time he mentions 911 ....
No one would likely make it to the end of his 20 min speech with all their faculties!!

19. I call 1 min 46 seconds
That's just about long enough to stumble over the reason he wants to talk to us tonight first.

21. Did any of the 9/11 hijackers cross the southern border?
I keep hearing (Minutemen, RW pundits) that Al Queda may try to cross illegally via Mexico assimilating as Mexicans.
Didnt many of the hijackers enter via Canada?

23. I don't think any of them were supposed to have 'snuck in'
I think almost all of them supposedly arrived on regular commercial flights, etc...

25. I'm ready to stand corrected, but
I believe the last ones to enter the country (creating the quorum) came through Canada.

28. NO they did not enter via Canada
Most of them came the good ol'fashioned legal way. Or at least they faked it being legal and came right in. None came either through the Canadian or Mexican border.

24. It all depends on whether his EarPhone is working ---
If he yells out "let me finish .... let me finish" you know somebody will be reminding him to mention 911 again.

37. Don't forget, he never says "9/11," he never says "September 11"...
...he always says "September THE eleventh."

My bet is within the first five seconds.

38. Last week it was his first three words he
started his speech with the words "after 9-11". Right off the bat play that card... Who benefits??

39. It'll be his first words.
Even before he says, "Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen".

Here's how his speech will sound:

Looks around. "9/11 is a day that will live in Infamy. Good Evening, Ladies & Gentlemen. This is not the time to relax.....NO Sir. We've got dangers, right here in the US. Today, more than any other time in history, we're facing bigger and meaner threats than ever.

(yawn, stretch). Stands up, scratches butt. Goes to the kitchen to make a snack, while "Einstein" blabs on.
