Hey wait a minute...what time did the confetti blast happen at?
Bush supposedly learned of the new UBL tape at noon?

Wouldn't you think the secret service would have been a little more attentive when that noise happened with the "Pres" on stage during such a time of heightened "threat"

Sorry...every once in a while I have to go all "tinfoil" LOL

2. You know what? I think that is what this is leading up to...
This tape wouldn't be the October surprise...but reminding the public of what a creep UBL is and THEN catching him certainly would be.

I am definietly on your wavelength--this is just part one of a part two operation by Roves co.

3. I hear ya ...

I've got my :tinfoilhat: on also. I'm thinking of doubling its thickness.

Something has been off-kilter all week. The bastards are up to something.

7. Maybe we should invest in some heavy foil pie pans? LOL
I may even venture into disposable roasting pan territory as Tuesday draws closer!

4. The premature confettitation episode
was the funniest thing that happened today, hands down.

The look on his face was priceless. Confetti raining down during a serious moment talking about 9/11 victims. It's probably about how he feels about that day.

5. Moonbeam, I didn't get the same reaction.
It really made me sick to my stomach. I remember Anwar Sadat and how he stood at attention thinking that the shooting noise was part of the procession. Tonight, the look of apprehension on Bush's face was completely understandable. I'm just wondering where Bush's secret service men were.

6. Honestly I just thought he looked annoyed
He looked like Who TF did THAT and I am firing them later...

He didn't look like a man that feared for his life to me and in light of this new BS tape one would have thought he would have hit the ground!

9. Yes, esp for someone functioning with two fried brain cells...
like he is!

I suppose it's possible that the nit wit just didn't think anything was amiss!

10. He didn't flinch like he was afraid, just looked to the noise.

11. Yes, that is the way I perceived it
And he looked irritated but I didn't see any fear...just annoyance.

Superheroes don't flinch!

13. The Yahoo article said that when Bush* said "God Bless America"
they were supposed to set off the confetti. During the speech, he said "God Bless," finishing with someone's name and down came the confetti!
