[cry baby]

2. Thanks, Skinner, I don't know if I can even stand to watch the moran.

[dweller]

44. yeah thanks Skinner

without copious alcohol, or a sedative, or both, i usually can't take that *moron for more than 5 minutes. So at least can read it here.

uggh. it's starting...
it looks like he's on a Disney set...

dp

[Bumblebee]

93. Totally!

[tjdee]

4. He really only has two expressions--that one, and the smirk.

Hmm.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. They're actually the same.

Positive smirk
Negative smirk

And then the viewer of the smirk gets to guess how things are going.

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Arrogant smirk. nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

98. I believe that would fall under "positive" smirk.

[NYC Liberal]

6. Screw Bush, I'm watching the Yankees game

But I'll be checking DU for updates!

[thedailyshow]

7. damn you, mr. fuckhead president

[cwydro]

8. good,

I was hoping for something like this, but as a newbie didn't quite know how to ask...:dunce:

[Jawja]

24. Stay around awhile

and you'll see that DU is ALWAYS reporting from the "front."

:hi:

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

42. Hello and welcome, cwydro.

[banana republican]

9. DU drinking game

1 scotch for each invocation of terror
2 scotches for each invocation of katrina


I'll be out like a light at 9:01 eastern.

[Jawja]

28. Does

Grand Marnier count?

[LSparkle]

Keith O. just mentioned KKKarl being put in charge of N.O. effort

and said, flat-out, "How can the president put a purely political person in charge of a rebuilding effort?" Even Tweety had to admit that Roverat is good at "blaming other people" ... AND THEN HE BASICALLY DEFENDED THE DECISION! WTF?

[bettyellen]

16. KO is doing good tonight.... he's covering all the bases so well.

[union_maid]

10. Thanks!

My husband won't let me put anything on that includes Bush. Can't blame him, but I'm interested in how it's going.

[rateyes]

11. I hope this really marks the beginning of the end...

of this administration. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. Getting ready to play "Spot the Talking Points" - and to

count how many times they are used...

[mcscajun]

49. Easier game: "Spot the Loony"

When in doubt, access Monty Python sub-routine. :)

[XanaDUer]

13. I have a choice between crime tv and *.

Whoops-same thing. My bad.

[knowbody0]

14. resign you refried pos

[cwydro]

18. DITTO

[justiceischeap]

26. Mmmmmm, refried beans! n/t

[justiceischeap]

55. The clock behind him reads 6:35 (eom)

[MuseRider]

15. I'm up for it.

He can't be ready for this. This may be his last hurrah, can't miss this one. At least I will start it, we will see if I can last.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Boo hiss, throw him outta the game!!

Hey, it's baseball metaphor week.

[Canadian Socialist]

84. As a Canadian

might you also do a hockey play-by-play. I know I'm asking a lot, but how about using some good hockey phrases?
e.g.
"look at that boy skiddle across the line!"
"Bush! 2 minutes for high sticking!"
"He shoots! He misses! Denied!!!"


I could go one, but I won't.

[goclark]

19. Can't take watching - please give really great play by play

or better yet "boo boo by boo boo."

[highplainsdem]

20. Thanks, Skinner!

[justiceischeap]

21. So far so good (eom)

[meganmonkey]

22. I gotta run and pour me some scotch real quick...

[Aviation Pro]

25. Eh, maybe he'll be drunk or.....

...high.

Fucking teenager.

[NightOwwl]

27. Now watch this drive!

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

29. can't wait to see the back drop

[goclark]

39. Isn't it in front of a Catholic Church in the French Quarter?

[Twist_U_Up]

30. Can Russert get his belt any higher ?

he hasn`t been starved lately

[Twist_U_Up]

35. Hes got a mic on

[Inspired]

31. I'll watch with one eye open

kind of like I do during horror flicks.

Oh God, NOOOOOOOO.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. He's giving the speech outside? And might be walking during some it?

What BULLSHIT!!!!!

There we go rolled up sleeves......

[ncrainbowgrrl]

[mshasta]

46. I know what a moron ...

[DS1]

36. SLEEVES ARE UP!!!

HE'S WORKIN FOLKS, HARD AT WORK!

[Cleita]

37. Let the bullshit games begin.

Already claiming it's going to be one of the largest construction efforts ever. He will be speaking from New Orleans. This looks like it was pre-recorded already.

[Tatiana]

38. Is this an adult speaking? Or a remedial frat-boy? n/t

[stevietheman]

40. Blue shirt, no jacket, no tie... hmmm.... n/t

n/t

[morgan2]

41. ted koppel lied in the opening

said Bush went to New Orleans on his first trip there. He went to the disaster area, but not New Orleans itself.

[Faygo Kid]

45. Grotesque. Rove scripts it again.

I cannot conceal my utter contempt for this man. Bite me, Freepers.

[highplainsdem]

47. He's got that deer-in-the-headlights look down pat.

[banana republican]

48. blue working class rolled up sleeves alert!!!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

74. The collar is eating up his neck, it looks stupid, just top button open.

:puke:

[lophopper]

50. Is he standing in front of a fake set???

[Stephanie]

No it's a real building but they lit it all up -

they lit it so much they had to give a disclaimer that they weren't wasting electricty because they brought their own. They can't put up one of those backdrops with the slogans on it, so they lit the yard up like Disneyland.

[Stephanie]

102. hiccup

[Bouncy Ball]

51. Reciting things everyone already knows....

he calls it "this great and generous nation."

WHO IS great and generous? Not the federal government.

[Stand and Fight]

69. Not to mention some 60+ million idiots last November...

Yeah, great and generous my ass...

[Murdock]

52. Someone...

Get me the Mylanta.. I can't watch this clown without feeling sick..

[bhuddaboy]

Working Hard

Notice his sleeves are rolled up?

[karlrschneider]

53. Walking across the lawn in shirtsleeves. A TRVE good ole boy...

I may vomit

[Aviation Pro]

54. Got a pretty desperate look in....

...his eye.

[JAbuchan08]

56. He looks so small

Maybe its just that I avoid watching him at every opportunity, but he seems like he knows he's fighting for his political life.

[geomon666]

57. Yes, thousands of people left at the mercy of criminals who have no mercy

YOU! YOU'RE THE CRIMINAL!

[geomon666]

71. That's right, keep listing the atrocities.

That's your rap sheet you filthy animal.

[Algorem]

no black people behind him.huh.

[boston bean]

58. He looks like a bobble head doll. Is it just me? or do you think so too?

[LSparkle]

77. A DEVIL bobble head doll ...

Or a ventriloquist's dummy. Or Howdy-Doody.

I keep hearing the Laurel & Hardy theme in my head (tin whistle, kind of loopy, lazy ... ).

[Tatiana]

59. OK.... we knew all this. Before your administration, apparently.

What's your point??????????????????????

[LSparkle]

60. Oh, isn't he sporty in his work shirt!!!

I wish that statue behind him would come off its foundation and hit him in the head!

[KharmaTrain]

61. Shirt And the Church...Same Color

Hmmm...looks so wonderful, I'd like to stumble down Bourbon Street and...ah forget it...

What's on Discovery? Home Shopping?

[dogindia]

pathetic.

he should write his own speeches...at least they might be authentic.

[me b zola]

62. how dare that bastard invoke sorrow & outrage!!!

:grr:

[bettyellen]

the storm was cruel, huh?

and when did you start to witness the desperation, asshole.
sorrow and outrage?

tales of how good americans are... let's get to your role in this asshole, shall we?

[crispini]

63. Alright, who predicted the blue shirt?

I owe you a beer. :beer:

[UTUSN]

He Looks Silly and Foolish from the First Sight, Goofy Opening

Toad head/ no neck, small shoulders. Come on Andy JACKSON, trample him.

[Pithy Cherub]

64. Irony quote: ..."people left at the mercy of criminals."

:eyes:

[lophopper]

83. Anyone see the horsie behind him?

I thought he was afraid of them?

[NightOwwl]

65. There goes his jaw!

[Bouncy Ball]

66. Twice now with the weird jaw thing.

My kid noticed it, too. Said, "what's wrong with his jaw?"

[cry baby]

90. He's been doing that a lot lately, drives me insane!

[Moochy]

99. three jaw shakes and a smirk

3 x so far, and its when he's pausing for an emotional break.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

67. there goes the jaw!

[Az]

68. Religious orgs have accepted people into their communities?!?

Um George nonreligious groups did the same thing. Nothin special there.

[Maddy McCall]

70. All stupid anecdotes, no substance. (As usual.)

[meganmonkey]

72. Yeah, the reason all these people had to do all these things

to help each other is because YOU and your FEMA pals WEREN"T THERE to help fuckwad!!!

:puke:

[cynatnite]

okay, I need a drink now

::beer:

[yankeefanatic3]

92. Rollin down da Mississippi river lol

[Solly Mack]

73. Bush having to mention those who actually did help others

since he was off playing the guitar and eating cake

[Seeking Serenity]

As I asked on the unofficial thread,

where's his dark suit and blue tie?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

75. He's riding the backs of those who gave a damn. nt

[Rockholm]

I cannot listen to him. Ugh.

Switched off as he swaggered up to the podium.
GO RED SOX.

[thedailyshow]

76. does anyone else see that horse next to his head?

like it's about to kick that bastard up the head!

[Olney Blue]

104. Must be an Arabian horse.

[MichiganVote]

78. Tell us something we don't know Bush

WHile you were flying around playing guitar and fundraiser, NO was drowning. BOOOOOO!!

[chiffon]

79. I may have to go to the bathroom...

Is this a good time?

[durablend]

I'm feeling nauseous already

:puke:

[HeeBGBz]

Sleeves rolled up like he been doin somethin

Go away, Shrubbie, you bother me.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

80. Will he mention the flavor of the cake he was enjoying

while New Orleans was suffering?

[rocktivity]

YOU put those dead bodies in the street, George!

And how about acknowledging the NON-religious people who have been helping out?

and why are you telling us all this, anyway. WE knew all about it--you're the one who didn't!

"The whole nation cares about you--" but I don't, smirk smirk

[progmom]

81. religious people reached out to help?????

as if people who aren't religious didn't help?
is he serious?

i'm aghast.

[highplainsdem]

82. He's met heroes, ergo he is one.

[peaches2003]

85. Please put up an accurate picture

His head looks detached in a sea of light blue! ROFLMAO! Karl screwed up.

[achtung_circus]

86. Well they found electricity

to highlight the backdrop. How about the hospitals.

[dogindia]

87. horrible America. n/t

[Fridays Child]

88. As he got to the podium, I saw a lump under the back of his shirt, and...

...from the front, where his shoulders meet his neck, his shirt has lumps.

[...of J.Temperance]

89. He's like a BAD stand-up comedian and he's smirking ALREADY and

He's wearing that damn blue shirt AGAIN and he's BREATHLESS AGAIN. I can't watch him, the rest of you are VERY brave.

I'm listening to the Fuck Face on the radio.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

91. he is full of Bovine Excrement

Good heavens, he can barely read his cue cards or teleprompter.

I wonder how they dried him out long enough to give yet another appearance.

IDIOT!

It erks me to hear him use words that I know he doesn't even understand.

:puke:

:dunce:

[me b zola]

94. here we go, I sense the word "progress" coming up

[Jawja]

95. BUT

THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL DEAD, YOU FUCKWAD!!!

RESIGN NOW!!!!!

[tibbiit]

96. he's doing the jaw thing

lol
tib

[chalky]

97. Yeah....THEY did all these acts of bravery. THEY were the ones who

sacrificed for their neighbors and even complete strangers.
What the HELL did YOU do, you sorry sack of shit?!!?!

How DARE he invoke their acts as if HE was responsible!

BASTARD!!!

[bee]

100. he keeps moving his jaw back and forth...

like he's on the nose candy or something. just sayin.

[Bouncy Ball]

101. "a faith in God..."

well of COURSE he had to get religious, right?

He's trying the "I feel your pain" thing that comes off as pathetic from him.

How insulting that he's giving this speech from NO.

"This great city will rise again."

Now listing off things that have been done. He's good at ticking off items on a list, that's about all good I can say.

Listing, listing, listing.

This sounds eerily like when he's listing off stuff about Iraq.

Third time with the jaw thing (that I've caught). It's really weird when he does that. Ooops, fourth time, and that time it interfered with his speech. Fifth time.

Wow he's doing it a lot. What's wrong with him? Sixth time.

Listing off what people can do to find help.

Seventh time with the jaw.

Please call this number. Blah blah blah. Nothing he's said so far even remotely resembles anything comforting or inspiring, no surprise there. It's like it's taking everything he's got just to seem somewhat normal and speak this much. Compassion and resolve of our nation, because of the $60 billion Congress and myself have allocated. Husband said sounds desperate to buy some forgiveness.

"the wind and water swept the land clean..."

WTF did he mean by THAT?

Listing off more problems now. Blah blah blah.

States are going to be reimbursed for these extra expenses. (Don't count on it, ha ha.)

[Bouncy Ball]

[me b zola]

105. Now the bastard is concerned about diabetics?

Is he sure that he doesn't want to offer loaded weapons in their face instead of insulin----because that is what he had for 5 days in the superdome & convention center :grr:

[Kolesar]

106. Sally Struthers could have done this speech better

"Won't you please...help the children" :cry:

[Skinner]
