Bush to address nation Thursday night from Louisiana

[highplainsdem]

CNN just announced it.

One more desperate attempt by * to salvage his unsalvageable reputation...

[Lochloosa]

1. I think I'll walk the dog....or go fishing....or sleep..

oh and by the way *....you are TWO FUCKING WEEKS LATE

[lse7581011]

2. Guess I'll Be Watching

ESPN or HGTV! Seriously can't stand to listen to his diatribes!

[Vickers]

3. Garsh, I hope he remembers to roll up his sleeves!

:eyes:

[SunDrop23]

4. Oh goody I am soooooooo relieved.

[whistle]

5. Good heavens why from Louisiana? Why not from the White House?

[highplainsdem]

10. I don't know -- they just mentioned briefly that it would be from LA.

Soledad O'Brien was talking to Dana Bash when this was announced, said the news was just in.

[Skidmore]

6. So are we supposed to think that he stayed in Louisiana

from yesterday through Thursday and passed out food and water? Signed checks for FEMA?

[highplainsdem]

12. He's workin', workin' hard...

[tanyev]

7. In front of a live, unscreened audience?

Now that would be must-see TV!

[demnan]

8. I don't dare watch

the last time I had him on the cats were doing this. Lorien accused me of animal cruelty!

[Jeanette in FL]

9. Yes, I heard.

The only thing I want to hear out of his mouth. "Effective immediately, I am stepping down as President of the United State".

It happened to Nixon, when his House members gave him no choice but to resign. Call your congress members today and demand that Bush resign. 1-877-SOB U SOB.

[thefloyd]

11. Bush is playing politics

with Katrina

[Pirate Smile]

13. Rove is back on the job. What exactly will the back drop be?

Hmmmm.

[DemonFighterLives]

17. Makin it happen- workin hard

I don't want to give up all my ideas.

[TlalocW]

35. The backdrop will have

"Rebuilding Trent Lott's House" printed over and over again on it.

TlalocW

[DemonFighterLives]

14. I can't think of another person who would be worse

:puke:

[hatrack]

15. Will he tell us that a big storm hit the Gulf Coast?

That was his focus last time, and not much seems to have changed in the interim.

[SpiralHawk]

16. Hmmm? Saturn will be conjunct Bush's natal Mercury then

It has just crossed his Ascendant, is about to hit Mercury and then camp on his Pluto till May or so.

This will be interesting. And possibly momentous. I'd bet a doughnut on it.

Karma uber alles !

[wellstone_democrat]

20. a TINY bit more info on this please?

Sounds dire but "how?" (intensity, nature)

thanks
Mr. W_D

39. For more info try this DU link

DUer Nancy Waterman has written on these Saturn transits in an informed way. I admire her work.

I don't post many astrological comments in GD because most people are superstitious about it or find it to be inscrutable.

For people who do speak the ancient star language, my statement "transit Saturn on Bush's Ascendant...etc" holds volumes of meaning. Astrology -- I have come to know -- is a shorthand of the soul and of the rythyms of the natural world. But it is another language altogether.

Key words for transiting Saturn (the active principle in the statments) are RESPONSIBILITY and KARMA. In that regard, I was pleased to see GW Bush going on TV today (right on koZmiQue schedule) to accept Responsibility (albeit ungracefully and I suspect insincerely).
In theory, transiting Saturn will bring that insincere shit to account eventually as well, but this is a PROCESS that goes on till May '06 at least.

The DU astrology forum (link above) is for discussion of astrology at work in our world, not for debating its validity and usefulness. There's a place for that elsewhere. Skeptics and Scientific Fundamentalists are welcome to criticize our work in the DU skeptics forum.

Ad astra per aspera.

25. Bogus astrological nonsense.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Interesting, possibly momentous. Really committing yourself, aren't you?

Really committing yourself, aren't you? I'd bet a doughnut it is "possibly" something, too.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

18. Hellooo, nation

art carney impersonation.

[deminks]

19. Why, are we going to start work on Trent Lott's porch?

Are you going to appeal for people to help rebuild as volunteers?

Are you going to privatize FEMA and give it all to Halliburton?

Did Jeeeeezus talk to you and tell you that the poor are being punished?

What could possibly make you want to address the nation? At this point, why would you give a damn, Smirky?

[lectrobyte]

21. But will they pre-empt the season premier of Survivor for * ? I think not

but what do I know?

[highplainsdem]

26. Think they said 9 pm Eastern time, so it's after "Survivor."

[lectrobyte]

38. I was being sarcastic re: Survivor. Thanks for the time though.

[DancingBear]

22. Yep, Thursday is a good time

Most of the black folks should be relocated by then.

[Maccagirl]

George Walker Bush

STFU and just go away!!! Please!!!

[Pepper32]

23. Will he have his bullhorn?

:eyes:

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. A HUGE PROTEST SHOULD ENSUE!

Pathetic piece of shit. Give it up idiot! WE SAW YOU EATING CAKE, GOING TO FUNDRAISER, STRUMMING ON A DAMN GUITAR AND PLAYING GOLF!!!%$#@#$% While citizens suffered and DIED!

[kedrys]

27. Oh bummer, I'm attending a business seminar that night

:sarcasm: :bounce:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

28. So he just has to cut into "Survivor"?

Or will it be at 9 p.m. EDT?

[KharmaTrain]

30. Dead Cat Bounce...Law Of Dimishing Returns

The meme is the more they show asshat looking "presidential" (looking the operative word) this somehow will bring up his approval ratings.

Notice how this announcement came out right after the latest Gallup numbers that claim the moron gained 8 points in the past week. They figure the more they get their boy out there playing like he's in charge and nothing else screws up, he'll be just fine.

There is on clinker in this grand plan. It's currently sitting off the coast of the Carolinas with 75 MPH winds.

Also, note it's Thursday they want TV time...the biggest viewing night of the week. Be assured the prime networks will be very leery about televising a photo-op for this regime (they've passed in the past) and if they do show the bastard, my bets are it will backfire as those viewers won't want to hear this scumbag.

Bottom line: nothing in the past week has been done to restore this boy's credibility and each photo-op appears more and more desperate in creating a sense of popularity. People won't buy if the manchid doesn't come out with assuming REAL responsibility...and that's doubtful.

[Pepper32]

31. I wonder if Ophelia will say hi to the chimp?

:7

[KharmaTrain]

34. The LA Blackout Messed Yesterday's Photo Ops

Damn those Californians...the power went out there just as the Chimpmeister was doing his photo-op ride in the flooded areas of Suburban NOLA (he still didn't have the balls to go INTO the city).

I suspect Ophelia will be dealt with quickly...the cameras are on and the storm won't be that severe. But then the question should be..."if the response was so quick there...why wasn't it in Louisiana".

No matter...millions of people feel a lot less safe and have far less confidence in this regime now than they did a month ago.

32. You can't take an ice heart jokester (Please read the numbers)

and get 75-80% of the country converted in a tv address .

Q. How do you take people who are destroying people and make some of the people believe Cheney-Bush are saving the people?
A. You convert to the born-again religion.
You become a CEO or stockholder or payola recipient of a right wing corporation.
You know better, but you really believe anyone else will take your guns from you.
You are a Barry Goldwater Republican and you hope Bush will be Barry.
You want to develop the National Parks and Preserves. You want to own the highways.
You want to make money from Social Security privatization.
You are a Reverend and you remain loyal to the cause because you are bonded in privileges to each other.
You are an imperialist and you love the earth resources of the country conquered.
Above all else you work for people contorl, profit, and your version of the bible and intrusion into other peoples' lives.

Look at the numbers:

On Thursday,

It will be xx days since the Natl Weather Service predicted horrific results from the hurricane.
It will be xx days since the hurricane.
It will be xx days since the levees 'broke'.
It will be xx days since the buses didn't arrive.
It will be xx days since the infighting started.
It will xx days since the stench of the traps.
It will xx days since people died in front of each other from lack of medicine, oxygen, water, food, attention.
It will be xx days since some of the people sat on a bridge because of a sheriff and his police department and that team took the food and water of the people.
It will be xx days since bodies have rotted in the sun, been eaten by rats and alligators, have been getting soaked at the bottom of a street or the top of a building.
It will be xx days since people have been separated.
It will be xx days since we have seen OUTRIGHT RACISM as only America's bigots can display.

Besides being a person who dismisses death, causes death, smirks at death - he is a poor actor. Marionettes are 'limited' at acting.

If the same person who coached Roberts coaches Bush for Thursday, it's a lost cause. When they try to make him sound concerned or when Cheney tries to sound concerned, they start with a gigantic handicap and never succeed.

[Not Me]

33. Two weeks late.

[lpbk2713]

36. He'll be wearing a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

Anybody want to start a raffle on how many times he says " ... it's hard work"?

[DoYouEverWonder]

37. It's bad enough he's already hampered operations with two visits

Stay the fuck out of the way asshole. This is getting ridiculous.
