Mike -- mostly just hoarse sounding waffle. He's never sounded more like a bad Clinton imitator.

Has to get house and senate confirmation, no? This one or the one from jan 3rd?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude is on the study group.

Too much of this is saying "We've been talking about this for WEEKS."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

He is telling Bin Laden not to smurk

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Enemies, do not be joyful we will git you.

Iraqis, we will stand with you

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

The message to 'our enemies' is a treat. THANKS FOR THE BOILERPLATE.

Troops we support you

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

What a shitbird. NOW he talks about "changing the tone" in DC – 6 years later

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

This is such a cave-in.

QUESTION TIME.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Red & Blue to Unite in cooperation

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Bush NOBODY BELIEVES YOU ANY MORE

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

What's up with Bush's cadence in this speech? It's just a series of statements delivered one after another the exact same way. He sounds like a disgruntled eighth grader in speech class.

"AMERICA WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU without coffin photos"

DO NOT BE JOYFUL

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

He sounds so defensive! This is ace.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

(Is Bush back on the wacky dust?)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

NRO barely saying anything. I suspect they're drinking hard.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

AGGIES! AGGIES IN THE PENTAGON!

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Bob gates brings respect and managerial experience.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

This is immensely more satisfying than a Grammy thread, if not as funny.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

This guy fuckin' snorted a line before getting in front of the podium.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

!?!?!!?!

Okay, I'm slackjawed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i fired rumsfeld cause my dad n his friends are in charge now, so can i go?

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

he sounds totally defensive, his inflection is all exasperation. He's trying to concede defeat without conceding anything (a la troop drawdowns) and can't quite figure out how to do it.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

The 'staying on' response -- W. T. F.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

(Is Bush back on the wacky dust?)

No, he'd be displaying some degree of confidence then.

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

did Bush just basically say "I lied about Rum because..."

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Bush is "assessing all the time... by myself" HAHAHAHAHA

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

there's a lot of constant assessing and assessment going on

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

wait so he just admitted to lying abt rumsfeld last week? this is not the bush i know and love.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

My God...won't someone think of The Daily Show?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

"I thought we were going to do fine yesterday... shows what I know"

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

"I've never met Gates. He'll make a fine DoD."

FRESH EYES!!!

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

He doesn't appear to have a clue what to say. It's really embarrassing to watch.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

The Daily Show is fucked. From the reports you guys are giving, how can the Daily Show top this?

― gwynywdd dwnyt fyrwr byychydd gww (donut), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link
