Bush Speaks

I've been on the edge of my seat wondering whether George W. Bush would speak at the RNC, or whether his gross unpopularity would lead the party to try to stash him away on a presidential visit to Madagascar or something. Apparently, though, no Madagascar for him -- spech is on for September 1. Now I'm wondering about Cheney.

Comments

Excellent news.

Yes, but will the networks cover it?

Cheney will be hunting along the Madagascar-Pakistan border.

I'm excited. Bush is such a fine specher.

Well of course he speaks. He's the President of the United States.

If Bush were absent, that would be all the press and pundits were talking about.

The GOP has no choice.

They may have no choice, but it's still good to hear.

I once heard Bush say that after he was no longer President, he might earn money giving speeches like his Dad. Isn't that a bit like Roseann Barr making a living as a stripper?

Of course Cheney will be there! If Bush appears, Cheney MUST attend ... how else will they make W's mouth move, unless Cheney has W sitting on his knee with his hand ...

Er ... never mind ... I won't go there.

It's labor day--no one will see it.

I think he should read the fuckers "My Pet Goat" and then take a big shit right there on the podium. The National Review gang and Sean Hannity can then come up and lick it clean.

It would be a neat little recap of his entire presidency.

Crossing my fingers that McCain is swept onto the floor in George 1's golf cart, to rousing cheers.

Here's what they should do. Let Dumbya speak on the night McCain accepts. Have Dumbya deliver his typically awesome stupidity and wave his way offstage to the cheers of the idiots who still love him.

And then Spinal Tap-level madness begins. Curtains drop and frantic activity is going on behind them. When they finally part the audience is stunned to see a 20-foot tall representation of the grotesque, evil vagina of Barbara Bush herself. Yes, the old bitch herself.

And McCain pops out of the slick rubber labia and announces that he's been reborn as a Bush. The crowd goes crazy. Sean Hannity comes on stage and begs to eat the afterbirth.

This has to happen.

What are the odds the entire speech is one long polemic against Iran?

Preparation for the action he's planning to ensure McCain wins the election.

I think those looking to chortle at Bush will be disappointed. He's very good delivering a prepared speech. And I've long disliked Bush.
