Shinawatra is planning to return to Bangkok on Thursday.

[IChing]

47. Saw that, No Bolton?

He must be with the chimp and didn't show respect for Kofi's speech.

[goclark]

50. They probabl;y want to make a royal entrance

I wonder if he will slip in something about "sex trading" this time.

Remember that one?

[Wilber_Stool]

48. All of these great presentations.

[xiamiam]

54. i already know he will shame US....he cannot speak with vision or

compassion ..and forget about peace, it is not in his psyche...im already depressed...

[dogday]

59. I tend to agree with you

After the thoughtful insightful speeches we have been privy to, I believe his will be more a speech about how we are spreading democracy, whether the country wants it or not...

My husband asks the question, "who are we to dictate how a country chooses to live?"

[dogday]

Bolton and Condi

sitting in a tree..........

[VolcanoJen]

81. He's slurring more than usual today.

Why is talking so damned difficult for him?

[malaise]

84. Invokes 9/11 in three seconds

Al Qaeda in 10 seconds. Lebanon in 30 seconds. Ideological struggle. Defending civilization - this fugging barbarian. About to speak of hopeful world - ah well.

[rodeodance]

85. ABC is carrying him.

[rodeodance]

[cspanlovr]

86. Did you see that, Lebanon talking and laughing while Mr. speaks. HA

[dogday]

87. I was right, he is going to talk about

spreading Democracy folks, whether these countries like it or not.....

[ChairmanAgnostic]

[VolcanoJen]

102. All three networks carrying local news here

[kentuck]

91. The "calling of our civilization"...

If it's that important, must be time for the draft and time to get serious about it, huh?

[habitual]

92. damn he is boring

"this world can be ours if we seek it"

WTF????

[izzybeans]

93. He couldn't be more out of touch with world leaders.

What a dramatic change of tone. Terra Terra Terra displaced hope hope hope!

He's sucking the air out of the room.

[izzybeans]

117. Bush is speaking into a mirror again.

[IChing]

94. Not one applause, fuck him, fuck him, fuck him....n/t

[rodeodance]

96. ABC said they did NOT have an advance copy. Does Fox I wonder?

[habitual]

98. he stops for his usual applause points but NOTHING

poor georgie porgie couldn't stock the crowd with supporters.

[IChing]

105. He gives the smirk looking for applause and now is stumbling

[VolcanoJen]

111. You're so right about that

The only thing this man knows how to do is campaign. He keeps stopping and looking up, expecting the usual applause he gets from the Rove-stocked BushBots.

[Solly Mack]

99. New thread time? Part 2?

[rodeodance]

103. not even 'polite' applause yet.

[Solly Mack]

108. I saw some actually laugh when he began speaking

terrorists are real...spreading democracy around the world....b#shit.

[WyLoochka]

109. It's so quiet

They are not doing the stoopid thing that the Dems do when he gives his sotu. They are sitting on their hands - Yeah!

This is what Dems should do every time.

[Blackhatjack]

110. He Cannot Read His Speech Without Inappropiate Smirking....

...it has to be obvious to everyone watching him. This is serious setting. It has to be involuntary. Is it because he is thinking something different than what he is saying?

[Blackhatjack]

116. Where are the applause??? All I hear is page turning. n/t

[chat_noir]

115. Is that Guernica behind him?

According to Maureen Dowd, the UN covered it when Powell spoke in 2003.
