1. Will it be on network TV or NPR?
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see it or hear it anyway.

C ya,

2. Why would I watch something that I already know will be a stupid
rerun of the last speech the chimp gave.
Har..Hard Work....Kill the Evil Dooooers...... we turned the corner... again.

Time for a long walk in the neighborhood.

6. I will watch
just to get the lies straight from the liars mouth as opposed to reading about it tomorrow.

It's sort of like rubbernecking at a car accident, I suppose... but I find it a fascinating study in human behavior. I also would hate to miss him falling on his face, live on tv (if it is live...).

8. Will "watch" via DU...
It is much more fun to read the play-by-play with commentary on DU.

Thanks in advance to the DUers who can actually watch/listen to him for posting.

23. My channel is DU hope the thread is awesome

It's so much better to have the TV on Mute and watch with DU, I have the remote next to me so I can quickly see if there is real action.

Promise me in the thread that if the ear piece falls out you will post..."Hit it goclark"

10. No, I can't bear to listen to him anymore.
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 09:35 AM by bunny planet
I become physically ill and very anxious when I watched him before the election, now I think it would be far worse. Just the clips I've heard and seen sometimes that are snippets of his speeches make my blood boil.

I detest him.

15. 2-5 minutes worth; I want to see the marketing setup with the
soldiers in the background at the military base. ( aircraft carrier background, what's the diff). Maybe the speech after tonight, he'll use a submarine as a backdrop.

18. nothing to watch
same ole same ole in front of a captive audience no questions just another illegitimate paternalistic rant on the unreal state of affairs as they attempt convince a nation that is growing very cautious about its policies here and abroad. It will be a regurgitation.

Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 10:16 AM by the_spectator
I seriously doubt he's going to say anything NEW. Maybe I haven't been reading the news closely enough in recent days, but I'm a little confused what the deal is with all the anticipation of this random speech. Will the networks even run it? Usually, if it's not the State of the Union or something like that, and there's no impending news or recent huge event to respond to (eg. Live, from the Oval Office, it's a New War!)the networks WON'T run it.

Why is it getting all this build-up?
:shrug:

24. I watch with the mute button.
When he gets really agitated, I listen in to hear what he's up to. When he starts to annoy me I shut him up. It's all just blah, blah, blah, anyway. I also want to see if he says anything about Cheney's "football" injury. Worse case senerio, Cheney has to resign & Jebby is put in his place.

He'll cry about everyone not agreeing with his fractured thinking as not being patriotic and not religious.

Will I am religious and I am not patriotic. I am more concerned about what is fair and caring and less about one's passport.

29. I will try...
About 10 minutes and 3 beers is usually my limit during a Bush speech, then he starts into his coloquial melt-down, repeating the same crap he has for years, and I get too pissed to keep watching. My poor tv - it's going to get cussed out again tonight!
I still think about how presidential Kerry looked and sounded next to him in the debates. This country really has forgotten what an intelligent president is like.
