It was Newspeak's finest hour
excerpt:
-------------
So did Bush write this himself or did he use a speechwriter? If someone else drafted it, Bush should fire them immediately: this entire thing is filled with little (anything at all?) but empty rhetoric and blatant falsehoods. If Bush himself wrote this...

...Well, it's said that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. His grasp of the concept of human liberty is downright lethal.

If he's serious about "creating" freedom and democracy around the world, he's already damned to be one of the worst Presidents in American history. You can't bestow freedom on a people that aren't ready to achieve it on their own. Iraq should be more than adequate proof of this.
-------------

It was Newspeaks finest hour... by Christopher Knight.

He also wrote Bored with Bush. Bored with politics. Bored with America... but Im having a GREAT day today!.

parts of his speech were in there.
