Will Bush speak at the next NAACP convention? |
|
He hasn't made an appearance there in five years, but given the overwhelming need for positive PR (particularly with African-Americans), do you think he'll show up next time?

3. But given his propensity for cheap photo ops, I think he might go. |

7. Oh it would rule if he did |
|
can you imagine the booing and hissing.
I would laugh my ass off.
It will never happen cause Bushco knows that they can not control the croud.

4. Well, if his boat is still sinking... |
|
... and Rove is playing pinochle in the slammer, and his mother thinks that rubbing a nappy head or two in public for good luck will help, yeah, he might think about it for a while... but, then, he'll not go.
I have a feeling from now on, Bush touring places predominantly of color will be like Nixon's trip through Latin America. Lots of fist-shaking and old eggs and older vegetables.

Isn't there a pic of Dumbass rubbing the bald head of an African-American? I know I've seen it here before.

8. There are plenty of pictures of him... |
|
... kissing black bald heads, but I don't recall him rubbing any--that's a bit too plantation ante-bellum for even Rove to turn into something else. :)

5. I don't know why they kept inviting him or asking to meet with him |
|
They shouldn't have ever even acknowledged that he was the president at all.

11. Why would they want him??? |
|
He ignored thousands of them in NOLA, MS and AL and would do the same again if given the opportunity.
Fuck *, we're taking him out!! Frog marched that is.

12. He and Rove will seek to make leaders out of the people they can |
|
control. By handing power to top down people - perhaps in the church - they keep control. NAACP will not be included because it is a democratic organization and represent all (or most)people of color. They need to wedge the religious & the middle class from the poor and economically "useless" consumers.

19. They invited him before, despite not liking him. |
|
I think it's just a matter of deference to the office rather than the person.

their deference to a he-harlot-monkey-man.

18. He's almost that desparate |
|
Problem is, it's usually only adults in attendance - no little kids to pose with.

23. Good PR with whomever will help him look good to his base. |
|
Whether the PR victims are part of his base or not doesn't matter.
