Did Nixon stutter like he was on speed?

"LAME DUCK!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Why does he keep grunting a la Sling Blade?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, what, the Vietnam deal?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh okay, right.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i wish i was clearing brush

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Has Bush always spoken this way?

when he's reading, yes.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok i just missed what the Indian and Vietnam "deals" are

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Nixon could at least speak in sentences.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

He's trying to rearticulate...something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Grr, I wish I could watch this at work.

― Beth S. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

"I see differences"

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

So is this even worse than Nixon's resignation speech?

Well, he can't say "They'll never write a book about my mother" cuz they already did

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, Lopez:

I think I get what he was saying, but I wouldn't think a reporter insane for interpreting some of the president's remarks at this presser as I-sometimes-lie-to-reporters-during-campaigns.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Reading contest with Mr. Rove?

WHOAAAAA!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

C-SPAN better have this for the next 18 hours

OOOH, ROVE BLEW IT joke

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

also CNN website has finally called MT for the flathead.

(Ironically, Montana has a Flathead County, which actually was one of the counties that strongly supported Burns.)

"I was working harder on the campaign than he was."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Biggest laugh of the day!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

this is crazy. I almost felt bad for him at the, "do you think I'm NUTS?" moment. such an unfamiliar sensation.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

now he's doing a weird conspiratorial eyebrow thing

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

No, wait, I meant Nixon's farewell speech, not his resignation speech. Lawd, he RAMBLED.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

actually yes I do think he's nuts. certifiably bonkers, with a massive oedipal/daddy complex.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

BUSH SEZ: I AM PERFECTLY CONTENT, PERFECTLY

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Is he going all Bud Dwyer now?

― gwynywdd dwnyt fyrwr byychydd gww (donut), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

No do-overs to do.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I can't wait for the official transcript...no, wait, they'll clean that up.

"You don't get do-overs!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

THIS ISN'T MY FIRST RODEO!

― researching ur life (grady), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

oh my god, he keeps saying a version of "I don't know what you're talking about with that question." he's melting down.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

"No question Iraq had an impact."

NO SHIT.

HAHAHAAH

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I love how resentful he is of the reporters for doing their job. "I haven't analyzed this election as much as YOU GUYS HAVE!"

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

The press conference better have bulletproof vests... he is sounding scary fucked.

"As far as do-overs...talk to THEM."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, gridlock.

maybe he should "play Texas secretary of state" for the next 26 months.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

That shit about Sugarland was so condescending -- that's at least the second time in the last hour that he has accused the American people (who managed to wipe the drool off their hands to vote for him) of being STUPID.

Pot. Kettle. etc.
