Chimpy is speechifying now

[Sydnie]

being show on MSNBC.

[Peanutcat]

1. Now what?

What's Shrub babbling about now?

[madokie]

2. sounds like he is on a roll.

lots of clapping

[goclark]

He was introducing Black People

every African American would clap for Dorothy Height!

The rest of his message was written for the audience. If he can read today, there will be nothing that he says that they can boo.

It is what he does and says after he leaves that room that proves he is a bigot.

[madokie]

15. I know, sorry

[Sydnie]

3. Making apologies that Laura is not there

Mangling names of those across the globe.

Both wives are traveling together.

Thanks the NAACP for their strong leadership.

so far, the only applause is for the laundry list of acknowledgements of those in attendance.

[Sydnie]

4. He is going down the list of freedoms that King supported

(that we no longer have)

[madokie]

7. no doubt srub is gonna take the idiots way out

laying the ground work

[shenmue]

19. Everything he does...

is the idiot's way out.

:dunce:

[Solly Mack]

5. It offends me to the core to hear the names of Parks and King

come off his tongue.

[shenmue]

20. He couldn't even do it right...

at the time of the Parks memorial service, he said "Park." :(

[Solly Mack]

21. He also said "devote" instead of "devout"

[DrDebug]

23. It's very hard to repeat what is being whispered in your ear n/t

[Solly Mack]

24. True..sadly

[Sydnie]

25. He did that again today too n/t

[Sydnie]

6. Called her Mrs Park again

no applause at all.

[goclark]

8. He has the audience in a Phony Op

If they don't clap, they will look silly.

If they clap, it will appear that his Phony Words are sincere.

They are empty words.

What a low dow dog he is.

He just said that congress must renew the voting rights bill --- let's see what happens on that .

[Sydnie]

11. one polite applause and one sincere one - that's it

short speech too. How embrassing for the country. He spent more time talking about Rosa than Martin. Who is the holiday for? Ohh National BLACK holiday huh?

[goclark]

36. Right you are Sydnie nt

[chiffon]

9. "Speechifying" ...LOL .....ahaaaaw (got Me to post!)

:rofl:

[soup]

10. He's.. a.. real.. good.. readifier.

took all of what? 4 minutes? to dash through what was written out for him...

on edit - misspelled readifier

[0007]

17. Al Gore went one hour and five minutes. Without one, er, a, a,

hem, ah, er, junior can't go 6o seconds.

[Blue Belle]

32. 60 seconds is being generous...

Bush can't even speak his own name without linking it with an "er" or an "ah". :eyes:

[0007]

33. I stand to be corrected! I know that junior is stumped for an

answer when someone ask his name.

[Bluerthanblue]

12. he's pushing Rosa, and I loved and admired her, but

what is with this???-

He doesn't have anything of substance to say-

He clearly has nothing in common or positive to say about MLK-

In fact, he sure has something against him.

Maybe his integrety, and the fact that he was a true man of faith.- Willing to be hosed down, beaten, and murdered for the cause of REAL freedom for ALL humankind. Not someone who hides behind the secret service, wears costumes, and blows smoke-

i pity the little man he once again proves himself to be.

[goclark]

26. He slipped in the Voting Rights Act

that all of a sudden HE wants Congress to extend.


Of course, we as African Americans would have to clap for that but what were we really clapping for ----

We were clapping to thank the Great White Father for extending our right to vote.

Damn!

Why should the issue even be on the table!

Clinton would have never approached the issue like that Crook. He would have expanded on that one until everyone in that room would totally understand that there should not even have to BE such a thing as an extension.

It reminded me of what the end of slavery must have been like --- thank you White Man for allowing me to be free in a country that you brought me to in chains. One that I helped to build with no pay check in sight.

Now Great White Father Bush is telling us that he will allow us to continue to be able to VOTE --- IN 2006!

Insulting!

[Bluerthanblue]

28. so true-

i'm an ..fan... of Lincoln, but the Emancipation Proclamation didn't say 'equality'- it said 'free'.

And, Lincoln didn't come to his enlightenment about in-equality until after he was involved in the war between the states, and was actually more concerned initially with the issue of not disolving the 'union'.

Similarly, JFK, wasn't as personally passionate about civil rights when MLKjr. began his struggle. It was actually RFK who was passionately moved by the movement, and who dearly desired to make REAL changes in this country.

Kanye West spoke the truth- That is even more evident every time bush opens his lips and utters syllables.

[goclark]

30. Well said,thanks nt

[Sydnie]

34. It reminded me of that scene from Gone With The Wind

Where the carpetbaggers are telling the freed slaves that the government is going to give them 40 acres and a mull. He then tells them that they will then be able to vote, because "we're your friends. And you're gonna vote like your friends vote".

There should NEVER be a question as to whether it will be extended or not.

[goclark]

35. We are Living On The Bush Plantation

and the sooner America realizes that the slaves are multicolored the better.

[Sydnie]

13. Wonder if they cut his speech after hearing Gore's? n/t

[C_U_L8R]

14. Why Chimp can't read

the poor man can't even read his own speech....
he's slurring and his delivery is totally stilted...
probably the first time he's even looked at it.

What a loser of a president.

[Sydnie]

18. There weren't that many words

Seems someone could have read it to him first. Perhaps a DVD of someone reading it? Something!

Where was that speech? Hope we didn't have to pay too much for him to TRAVEL anywhere to deliver that.

[C_U_L8R]

22. Pathetic... isn't it?

Conversely, I saw Al Gore give a speech about 6 months ago...
without notes or a teleprompter... he just knew his stuff and
spoke from the heart ... he is SO much a better man than the
Chimp... in every capacity

[goclark]

31. First time he talked to a group of Black Woman that I know of

I sure wish I could have been in that room.

He would have heard my voice loud and clear.

Bet Dorothy Height gave him a piece of her mind!

[capi888]

16. Thank Goodness, we heard the REAL President Gore before...

Chimpy spoke for a few minutes about MLK. He had to read his words, and still screwed them up. He is truly an embarr-ass-ment...Especially after listening to Gore, who IS the real President,who is intelligent, informed, and KNOWS the constitution. He knows the crises we are in.

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. Pardon me if I skip it. I've got more important things to do....

like pester some legislators, jab the media, etc.

[bleedingheart]

29. speechifying is the best word to describe his attempts at

public discourse...

reminds me of the bugs bunny cartoon with yosemite sam..."I can't hear myself speechifying"
