Thinking Ahead: GWB is free to give speeches but no one asks....
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 07:33 PM by monmouth
I'm thinking Georgie boy is equating himself with the intelligent, articulate and vastly popular Bill Clinton.........sorry, had to stop and re-group here...Does GWB honestly think that people will be flocking to his "agent" to purchase his speaking abilities for their little gatherings? Perhaps Texas, but then, maybe not. They might be embarassed. After GWB finally gets out of town and the really dirty, dirty truths start surfacing, do you think he's going to be the new star on the speakers circle??? I think not. I think, he thinks he's up there with Daddy and Bill, entitled to large sums for those garbled, illogical words he spews. Going to be interesting to watch and see how this plays out.

He doesn't understand that people pay to hear Bill Clinton because he has something to say.
* has nothing to say except bumper sticker phrases composed by others.

2. The lack of audience is the least of his problems ...
No one has broken the news to him yet that for those $25-75,000 fees, people expect a speech that's longer than three minutes.

Someone please tell the Idiot that speechifyin' is hard work!

4. And, for the most part, they expect you to have at least a basic
understanding of the English language. This might not be so much of a problem. On a recent late night talk show, one of the callers recounted a story of a dinner party he had recently attended. He was from Great Britain. England if you will. One of the guests asked his daughter if her parents had difficulty learning the language here in America.

I am NOT making this shit up!

3. I think he could give this one-line speech over and again: "Gentlemen, start yer engines!"

5. Bush should do a "free punch" tour..
Travel city to city and for $5.00 you get one free punch anywhere on his body. He'd make bank with that.

7. People should flock to hear him speak and they should be
wearing Nixon masks. It might make a most needed point.

9. The problem is going to be providing security for him. What's he
going to do when the governments (this one and others) won't seal man hole covers and put smipers on roof tops to accomodate his visits.
