Andy Rooney's Speech for Bush (read on 60 Minutes last night)

[kstewart33]

It's one great speech that Andy wrote for Bush and read on 60 Minutes last night. An excerpt:

When I landed on the deck of the carrier, I wish they hadn't put up the sign saying MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. It isn't accomplished.

Maybe it should have been MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.

I've made some mistakes and I regret it. Let me just read you excerpts from something my father wrote five years ago in his book, “A World Transformed.”

I firmly believed we should not march into Baghdad ...To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant, into a latter-day Arab hero …
This is my father writing this.

...assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war.
We should all take our father's advice.

That's the speech I'd write for President Bush. No charge.

1. You lose Andy Rooney you've lost the war.

2. Won't work. Chim-Chim is congenitally incapable of...

...saying the words "I've made some mistakes and I regret it."

Now remember:

Everything is going according to plan. It alwaus has, and it always will, and those who say otherwise hate us for our freedoms.

3. Since the idiot started a fist fight with his dad...

I've no reason to believe he feels anything but "who cares what you think" about anything his dad has to say.

5. You heard that too?

"Fuck you! This is my show now!" Some things the Secret Service overhear can't be kept so secret. I'm curious, where did you hear the bruising came in a fight with his dad? I can't offer a link because I have never heard it beyond someone who is in a position to know.

6. Bush came home drunk one night

And challenged his father to a fight, which his father declined, thankfully. The story emerged in the 2000 campaign as one of the few negatives that the media actually reported about Bush.

4. That would be too easy for junior.......

junior wants to stir up the pot with hate in the name of God.

How can Halliburton & the Carlyle thugs make a buck when folks are searching for a peaceful solution?

The idea is to hate. Hate the ragheads, hate the blacks, hate the foreign counties that don't agree with the U.S. Hate the freeloading society and all the social programs that are produced by the Democrats.

Hate, hate hate hate hate.
