Scrappleface has the speech Bush should make...
2007-04-01
A snippet to whet the appetite;


I have interrupted your favorite sitcoms tonight so that you could see me do this. I hold in my hand a veto stamp.
(OPEN FOLDER. STAMP BILL.)
Now, I hold in my hand a Zippo lighter.
(IGNITE PAPER. DROP IN TRASH CAN. CAMERA ON FLAMING PAPER, THEN BACK TO PRESIDENT.)

My fellow Americans, you are not cowards. You are not losers. You are not stupid. You are not the people portrayed in the legislation now smoldering in this trashcan. Neither are you the kind of craven misfits that some of your representatives have become, who have traded votes for dollars, the lives of our fighting men for special interest projects in their home districts. That bill was so full of pork, it squealed. As it burns now, it smells like bacon.


Ah, if only....

As they say, RTWT...

#6  Have a presidential impersonator make that speech from a faux Oval Office and put in on YouTube and it will get a million hits and a very favorable response.

Too bad both trunks and donks are writing that sorta shit.

With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke.

#4  and more from CNN -- with words for DiFi this morning with Wolf Blitzer, as reported by RedState.com

Blitzer reminded Feinstein that the President "reacted angrily" to Pelosi-Murtha and played a clip of the President denouncing Congress for setting "artificial timelines." Feinstein explained that a majority of Americans want to get out of Iraq. She said that what Congress has done, with the timelines, was "unprecedented." Blitzer told her that the Dems lacked the 2/3rds needed to override the veto, and Diane said that the Dems have to stick to their guns. She said that "the President has to lead, but the people have to follow. And the people aren't following this President." The people, she said, "have spoken through the Congress."

In essence, she is claiming that last November's midterm elections served to vote the President out of power, and now the Congress will assume his duties. Because the people are not following the President, the Congress must act as if they were President.

#2  TheyÂ’re not seeking to be pulled out of harmÂ’s way. TheyÂ’re the kind of people who throw themselves into harmÂ’s way to protect others.

Omigod! Whoever wrote this should be writing Bush's speeches!

Recruit this sob whoever he/she is!
