[Jacobin]

On CNN now, reading the teleprompter with the VFW logo in the background.

The Chimp is going down, down down....

[Jacobin]

4. WTF is THAT all about?

Are there any left? I mean that could still be alive?

Maybe I missed something....:shrug:

[montanacowboy]

2. Please feed the cube rats!!

[Jacobin]

3. The usual blah blah blah

talking about all the wonderful benefits he is giving vets, giving them lots and lots and lots of money, waaaaaay more than that 'other administration'

[Bluebear]

6. Ah'm sure the VFdoubleya wants an amendment to defend our flag

and I want a Constitutional amendment this year. Also, the war came to our shores on the morning of September 11.

[Jacobin]

13. Extolling "Patriot Act"

"fully consistent with U.S. Constitution"


Okay, I'm outta here.

Can't watch anymore

:puke:

[Mist]

5. Just tuned in--

* looks tired. Says his admin. increased benefits "more than the other administration did in 8 years." This can't be true-haven't the bushistas reduced benefits for vets?

Applause seems tepid and desultory. Have they shown any shots of the audience, or just *?

[thedailyshow]

8. that's what I'm wondering also

Is that true?

[Wheezy]

7. OMFG!!! He continues the outright LIES!!

"The war came to our shores on the morning of September 11, 2001"

[speedoo]

9. They ain't buyin' the Coward's BS.

Applause is basically forced.

And you just know KKKRove has the amplifiers maxed out so it sounds like they love him.

The VFW knows a coward when they see one.

18. Since * hasn't slurred too many words and seems to be

stringing his sentences together, they must have had a monster rehearsal for a week back at the "ranch." But that jaw-grinding thing is weird. I'm still waiting for a view of the audience...

[jackstraw45]

21. Time to "86" 36 - IMPEACH the liar

[Mist]

22. Finally, an audience shot--

cameras up very close (no broad panning!)--a surprising number of older women (NOT vets, I'd bet!) in the audience. Looks like there might have been 100 or so attending (I'm guessing). Room looks smallish from what I can tell.
