Bush looks like hell today -- on CNN now 12:45 EST

[grasswire]

check him out.

Chin wavering like an old man.

Stumbling in his speech.

Bloated and bleary.

Barely stringing words together.

[grasswire]

1. oops...

...they already cut away from him.

Anyway, he looks horrible.

What's with that chin quaver, anyway?

[Fridays Child]

4. Chronic alcoholism-induced psychosis?

:shrug:

[callous taoboy]

13. My guess

is that his brain resembles swiss cheese from too much happy powder.

[Fridays Child]

2. Are the handlers letting him extemporize, today?

He sounds like a complete idiot.

[lebkuchen]

3. More info please

How is he different than any other day?

[Fridays Child]

6. He's making it up as he goes along. Maybe nobody has the nerve...

...to tell him that he's no good at that. But they should certainly know it from past experience--MTP being just one recent and notable example.

[Viking12]

5. They're allowing him to riff

because he's deep in the heart of repug territory. Appleton, WI is home to the John Birch Society. The corporate media whores, especially local but national as well, will edit the speech to eliminate any appearance of incompetence.

[Supormom]

12. Unfortunately, you are right

Most American will only see the version so conveniently edited by the media.

[Jacobin]

7. That sounds like the normal Pretzeldent to me

:-)

8. Looks like sh**

before they cut away, he was stuttering out the tired old phrase, "well I made a decision that saddam was a threat" bullsh**. The loudest applause came when he made the obvious "well i would protect our country every time" lame line.

[heidiho]

9. The Same F#$cking Speech Today as Every Day - Not My Fault

I swear to God, this man has ONE speech and one speech only.

"Love your neighbor as yourself"

"You know, we had a recession in March 2000. That means going backward."

"We were ATTACKED"

IT's NOT MY FAULT

[heidiho]

10. This event is also by invitation only

Nearly everyone is the audience is hand-picked, local Chamber Republican people.

Lots of protestors around the site, though. Not TOO far away from the Chimp.

15. Letterman had a clip with a kid falling asleep standing up behind *

while he was talking at a podium and CNN played it...the White house called them to say it was super imposed...looked funny as hell...and authentic.

Made my day!

[heidiho]

11. He is speaking to businessmen and women like they are 7

Perhaps that the only language they can get HIM to understand.

[heidiho]

14. He's Now Explaining the Meaning of Productivity to an audience

filled with businessmen and women.

Guess we Wisconsinites are jus too dumb to know.

[heidiho]

16. Things Aren't Going too Well for Youz

He actually said "Yous".

Some workers feel left behind and that's not right.

"They" want to increase federal spending dramatically. Somebody has to pay for it and that will be you. You'll hear the language , tax on the rich. When you raise the rates up, it hurts small businesses.

It makes no sense to take from the coffers of small business to expand the federal government. This was NOT supposed to be a campaign stop.

Tax and spend is the enemy of job creation.

Whether we are going to build walls around America. Perhaps we ought to wall ourselves off from the rest of the world.

17. Tired...only 7 1/2 hours of sleep?

Instead of the usual 10?

These 3 hour workdays for the Shrub must be wearing on him.
