Title: Bush Speech Tonight
Post by: Raider179 on June 28, 2005, 01:54:45 PM: Lotta speculation on what is gonna be said tonight.

I have heard everything from an apology(lol) to troop drawdowns. What kind of media do we have these days when the President doesnt automatically get tv time? I remember last time they just cut him off at the technology part of his speech.

"Three of the four broadcast networks had yet to decide late Monday whether they would carry President Bush's speech on Iraq Tuesday in front of soldiers in Fort Bragg, N.C. By then, only ABC had said it would carry the address."

8 pm Est....

Another "Mission Accomplished" dog & pony show though, with a background of grunts instead of the carrier landing and flightsuit.

Post by: Skuzzy on June 28, 2005, 02:30:39 PM: How much effort would that take and how tired would he be afterwards? Far more interesting than whatever Bush has to say (and more honest as well). :D

Post by: SMIDSY on June 28, 2005, 02:53:20 PM: i figured out a great drinking game. every time the prez says "freedom", or "liberty" you drink a shot. if you play with hard liqure you can only play for 10 min lest you succom to alcohol poisoning.

PS
i find it insulting when polititians mislead the public. people who do that are abusing public office. i say line em up against the wall and cause them accute lead poisoning.:aok

We did something similar for the debates. We survived maybe 30 minutes of it before the first person threw up and we called it a night. Hearing the words "I have a plan" makes me sick to my stomach now. Political drinking games are a fast track to kidney failure.

Post by: 1K3 on June 28, 2005, 04:24:00 PM: I hope its broadcast in HDTV (the "L33T" stations use 720P format for live broadcast, Fox has the worse with only 480P)

I'm not a big fan of Boosh but i'll be interested to watch him on HDTV.

Lets string him up afterwards.
I am showing a little respect. As little as I can, until he gives me a reason to increase it (like when he moves out of the building he currently calls home, due to the city wanting to build public restrooms as they would improve the value of the city).

Post by: SOB on June 28, 2005, 05:15:05 PM: Why would the networks feel obligated to air his speech, when they could air something more worthwhile and less scripted, like a re-run of Law & Order.

Yep, that is indeed more poignant and worthwhile than anything Bush might have to say.

Post by: Yeager on June 28, 2005, 07:15:47 PM: People with a genuine and honest understanding of the world situation dont need this political speech tonight. This speech tonight is a cheerleading excercise to try and bring the doubters and weak sisters back up to speed.

The upside to this speech tonight is its location and audience. It is fitting for this President to again address these soldiers at war.

Now that would be nice. For my mates brother anyhow!

Post by: Nash on June 28, 2005, 10:33:30 PM: My favorite was when Bush said "After September 11, 2001, I told the American people that the road ahead would be difficult..."

He then kinda paused, made some kind of shruggin' gesture with his shoulders, and raised his eyebrows as if to say... "Nailed it!"
