Chimp to make "major" speech tomorrow on Iraq

[npincus]

Scotty announced it at today's press conference, and MSNBC just mentioned it as well... no time given.

According to Scotty, "specifics" will be given about WHY we are in Iraq and the "Progress" we are making... bla, bla, bla... yak, yak, yak.

Yes, he is still pitching his war to a disinterested public. His motrivations? To remind us that he is the "Bullhorn President"? To rally his base? To change the subject from the growing controversy about Miers? All of the afore-mentioned?

1. What? To justify his insistence on the right to use torture?

As long as he threatens to veto a bill because it prohibits TORTURE, for God's sake.... he has nothing to say to me.

2. The poll numbers must be worse than the officially released results

if they are putting him on the air twice in a week - not that it seems to help, but I guess they feel they need to give it a try.

3. I would be happy if he would stop pre-empting my TV shows.

without saying anything meaningful

[cdb]

4. Fight them there

so we don't have to fight them here, freedom on the march, blah blah, same old shit

[WI_DEM]

5. yet another major speech? more lies?

[trotsky]

6. Why won't he make it IN Iraq?

I mean, we're making such progress, right?

[calico1]

7. Good god almighty!

How many more times does he have to repeat the same old, tired speech?

[Raster]

8. the only thing the pretender could say that I want to hear is a firm

timetable for withdrawal and an admission of guilt for causing this "greatest strategic error in the history of the United States." I don't care to hear "it's hard," "stay the course" or any other of the bullshit bush* warmongering platitudes. This and his criminal entourage have no relevancy or legitimacy. Save your speech. I really don't care.

9. He sure does love to interrupt TV programming on Thursdays.

I really doubt that the major networks will carry it now that the new TV season has started.

[soothsayer]

16. yep, ALWAYS on must-see-tv night. Thurs is ruled by Jupiter, so

is good for storytelling. Bastard.

[deminks]

10. "We must kill, we must torture, we must nuke, we must

rape and plunder." I can't wait. The world can't wait, Smirky. :sarcasm:

[jenmito]

11. Good...

His poll numbers have risen about 3 points. It's about time to give another "major" speech. His numbers always fall after these speeches.

[Call me Deacon Blues]

12. Disneyworld again?

Or is that Bushworld?

[MaineDem]

13. In the middle of the baseball playoffs???

Wait, maybe there aren't any games on Thursday.

But Survivor and CSI??? He'll piss off people if they break into those shows.

Tsk Tsk, Georgie....a bullhorn moment, indeed!

[soothsayer]

17. ...and Donald's Apprentice! Thurs is dark for Yankees and Sox tho

[Union Thug]

14. He just wants to show off his new pair of Nuclear Power Pants... n/t

[MaineDem]

19. I had just taken a sip

And then I read your post.

:spray:

Too funny!

[Kikosexy2]

15. Same ol'...

same ol'....well the baseball playoffs are on...and Smallville, Will & Grace, Joey, Smackdown...anything is a lot more entertaining than Chimpie spewing the same ol' bullshit--just tune him out--it's the best remedy.

[npincus]

18. my theory: Chimpy's new marketing strategy

I think Chimpy may try to pitch a new idea: he will tie the War on Terror to the price of gas/the availability and future of the petroleum market.

Since his poplularity began to suffer with the increase in gas prices, he will make the case the democray in the Middle East will somehow ensure our access to their most important natural resource, oil. He will have amnesia about WMD, of course, and speak as though achieving democracy is the war Americans bought into from day one.

[grumpy old fart]

20. 9-11 9-11 9-11 Terra Terra Terra etc.....Hint: IT ISN'T WORKING!!!

[jackbourassa]

21. Isn't this like Bush's 6th "major" speech on Iraq this year?

How well did the others work out?

The only "major" speech will be the one where he says he is bringing the soldiers home. Or established a timetable for withdrawl. All other speeches are more of the same.

[Marnieworld]

22. Well that only means that indictments are a-coming!

Since there is nothing new to say will the Networks get some spine and refuse to show a blatantly political speech? They haven't in the past.
