Bush speaking live on CNN right now
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 02:31 PM by BullGooseLoony
Crap, as usual...more clapping than speaking

On edit: It looks like he dyed his hair

21. Will the media talk about his hair like they did Kerry's "botox"?
I'll bet it's never mentioned!

53. Excellent question!
We need a running count of media mentions about Fearless Leader's hair.

I'll start: 0.

C'mon Leno/Letterman, you know the sweet spot when you see it.

If this got mentioned even a little, it would spread around like a furry fungus, since it's the exact sort of crap the media delights in chewing endlessly over.

I wonder how much it cost?

And who did it? Perfect People mag fodder, "I did the chimp's hair!".

Was any air traffic delayed to fly in the stylist?

Were aWol's image masters warned so that they could adjust color schemes in backdrops, "peace bridges", sunsets and oceans?

Did he ask Pork Chop Boy first?

Has anyone told Powell?

2. Why does he keep changing his hair every day?
During the Press Briefing it was bushy, the next day it wasn't, and now it darker????

And why is he on NOW? I was hoping to see something interesting on Politics with Judy today.

16. Cause his hair looked like crap before
his advisors finally let him clean it up.
Kerry's new do is also probably getting him nervous.

31. yep, they heard the snickering from his "press conf" and have
reacted. Remember how he looked like krusty the klown? Prolly to hide his earpiece then.

I wish someone would call him on his "I don't listen to polls" and ask why he spends $1 million a year on a polling service, lol!

They spin spin spin based on whatever the hubbub is, and it was recently his hair.

But....it still looks screwy. What's with that part?

3. That chimp Bush has NO SHAME
He stands there and slyly equates Iraq as the war on terror.

He sounds like he's going back to oldies but goodies.

"Oh NO! The Woodward book!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ladies and gentleman 9-11, 9-11, terrorist, terrorist"

He is giving a speech from over 2 years ago!

Will "Joe 6 pack" fall for this?

7. why is CNN covering this?
It's just the same old stump speech. No news. Same OLD stuff.

Why do they give him the air time for this?

We already know that he's getting 2/3 more air time than Kerry for his stupid speeches.

He slipped. He probably meant Jerry Maguire, but he spoke the truth by actually equating himself with Watergate, Nixon and Woodward.
