Shrub accidentally delivers rejected draft speech!
http://www.scrappleface.com/MT/archives/002329.html

I don't know anything about this site, but I was looking for some other info and found this!

(2005-09-16) -- The White House communications team scrambled this morning to explain how President George Bush accidentally delivered a rejected draft speech in New Orleans last night on national TV.

White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett said he still does not know how the text of an address he had personally rejected as "too DNC" wound up in the president's hands last night.

Many Republicans reacted in shock as all of America heard Mr. Bush promising a series of federal interventions and taxpayer-cash infusions that they said will accelerate the growth of the budget deficit, postpone the administration's commitment to tax cuts and reinforce the "culture of dependency" that conservatives claim to loathe.

As proof of the manuscript mix up, Mr. Bartlett distributed to reporters the text of the speech Mr. Bush should have given.

2. I believe so. Here is the "new" HUD proposal for N.O. public housing.

<snip>
As part of a White House PR offensive to refute charges that President George Bush doesn't care about poor black people, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today unveiled a plan for rebuilding public housing in New Orleans that will ensure near-total evacuation of low-income residents in advance of future emergencies.

An artist's rendering of the proposed new public housing complex shows what appears to be a vast train yard, with thousands of Amtrak cars refitted as charming family residences. At the end of each column of railcar-homes, the sketch shows several engines.

"When the evacuation order comes," an unnamed HUD spokesman said, "the conductor hollers 'All aboard'. People get into their homes, and off we go."

5. I don't think Bush would even know whether he's reading the wrong speech
or the right one. You might be able to put the Gettysburg Address in his teleprompter to practice on and he wouldn't realize it. Most of his attention would not be spent on the words, but on trying to practice in the mirror to eliminate some nasty habits, such as keeping his jaw from shifting from side to side, or smirking when he's talking about death and destruction.
