INDIANAPOLIS - President Bush will address the nation Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. ET about the war on terrorism with a focus on Iraq, the White House announced.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters Friday Bush's speech came as the United States was in a "critical moment in the war on terrorism."

1. UUugh!!!

Why, what did we do now???? :puke:

[goobergunch]

6. Seconded

especially because this will probably displace British PM's Questions on C-SPAN (Sunday @ 9 PM), which I was really looking forward to.

[goobergunch]

2. Source?

Just curious...can't find a link yet.

Also...is it EST or EDT?

[Kool Kitty]

8. EDT.

It was on CNN, announced by Wolf.

3. do you know what about?

the administration always makes me feel nervous around autumn. :tinfoilhat:

[AP]

4. He gives the NFL a big marketing gift on the mall, and this

is the payback he demanded. A lead-in audience for some insipid address to the nation.

[Kool Kitty]

5. Dang, you beat me by a minute.

:thumbsup:

[ewagner]

7. Damn..didn't take them long

...So soon after Labor Day to market their new product...whatever the hell it is.....

maybe it's WMDs......


on edit: btw...I'm beginning to feel more comfortable wearing :tinfoilhat:

[Kool Kitty]

11. I'll bet it has to do with Iraq.

Cost of war and occupation, length of stay, etc. None of which wouldn't even be talked about if the people weren't getting antsy about it.

[BurtWorm]

9. Do you think he's hoping to distract people from watching

the piece of shit 9/11 movie on Showtime?

[Kool Kitty]

13. You know, I didn't even think of that.

Good point.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. if it starts at 8 PM it's like a promo

:shrug:

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Uh oh, he's needs a bump in the polls.

Aw, poor baby...he doesn't like the way the Democrats are talking about his horrible record in Iraq.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Regarding that poll

I did see when it was said on CNN but I noticed they said it in a hurry and started talking about something else. Hmmm...

[gratuitous]

14. Just an address? Or will he be taking questions?

Is the RNC paying for this campaign pitch? Or will it be the citizenry, as usual?

[Kool Kitty]

17. "Will he be taking questions?"

Now that has to be the funniest thing I've heard all day. ;-)

[gratuitous]

21. Thank you, I'll be here all week!

You've been a great crowd, and remember, it's hip to tip.

[matcom]

16. that means new attack to come Sat night?

you know. gotta plan ahead for airtime

:tinfoilhat:

[WillyT]

18. Hopefully He Is Gonna Resign And Join Rush In The Football Booth !!!

Oh please, Oh please, Oh please, Oh please...

:eyes:

[KoKo]

19. It's a 13 to 18 minute speech on Iraq/Terrorism.......A Major speech 13-18

Minutes! ROFLMAO!!!!!!

[WillyT]

22. Well Yeah... For Him Getting Out One Sentence UnGarbled Is Major !!!

:shrug:

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. I wonder if it will be pre-recorded?

I would guess by announcing it on Friday afternoon, they are hoping not too many people are paying attention.

I wouldn't get too excited about W really saying anything important. It's just that it takes them that long just to sober him up and get him to memorize his lines.

[Emboldened Chimp]

23. Maybe this is his LBJ moment!

"I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President."

[TexasEditor]

25. Ha Ha!

Here's hopin'!

[Mz Pip]

26. What are you

smoking? And can I have some? Geez, that would be sweet. I'd go out and buy a $100 bottle of French champaign and CELEBRATE!!!!!

Sorry to say, I doubt Mr. Arrogance will do that. He's been so good at fooling so many of the people so much of the time, I suspect he's planning on doing it again.

24. Wesley Clark Quote...

from Joe Conason at Salon on August 29, 2003...

Wesley Clark: "What we've got is a government that's taken us to war under false pretenses. It's failed to plan adequately for the aftermath of that conflict. It's continuing to call for more fighting in the Middle East and that in turn is detracting from the war on terrorism. THAT'S NOT PART OF THE WAR ON TERRORISM. We made it a fight over there and it's not helping make us any safer."

(Damn, I hate the fact that former Texas 'Governor Death' is our selected president, I just get so worked up.)

27. He will announce he's dumping Cheney for 2004

Gotta get that out before they start printing bumper stickers.

29. Let me guess: No unscripted questions, no rebuttle.

A smokescreen about finding papers that definitively strongly credibly whateverly show WMD beyond all doubt.

A few key words, e.g. family values (naw fv is too old, let's see...) strengthen relationships between men and women in Amurika, bring forth.... something, doesn't matter what he says anyway.

Oh yes, and he'll need more money to which our press will react in silent awe at the simple majesty of having been informed by his simple honesty. Just before the money is transferred to Carlye, Haliburton, and Bechtel.

Either the DNA found Saddam's body or a heroic service person will be applauded. Maybe Jessica Lynch.

The press will then fawn over his comments and delivery even if he comes out with poop on his nose and slurs all but two words.

And, I will watch it, if I can, just in case he comes clean. Barring that, the smile on my face will be the irony of listening to his speech while I read another few pages of Al Franken's Lies, and Lying Liars that Tell Them, a Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.

With that I will have some perspective, some context, and a couple of good laughs. What more could I expect in life with Bush.
