Tomorrow * is speaking at the NAACP convention, how many verbal gaffes

[AlCzervik]

will he make? I'm going to guess at least one big one.

[Sir Jeffrey]

1. If he gives anyone a massage, I'm going to lose it n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Wrong crowd.

When he's with African-Americans he seems to prefer rubbing their heads.

I hope they greet him with the same enthusiasm that was exhibited at Coretta Scott King's funeral.

[stepnw1f]

7. Ohhhh... I Can't Wait

Publicly grilled

[lonestarnot]

29. Shit, I think I'll take off work for this! How much do you think? A case

:beer:

[stepnw1f]

35. Well...

I guess it wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be from what I have read and heard on the radio. Did you take the day off?

[lonestarnot]

36. No and I'm glad I didn't!

Sheesh. Go figure.

[stepnw1f]

3. He'll Intentionally Make a Public Mockery of It All

He does so, so well. What a loser...

[bleedingheart]

30. I am betting on it...he will play "frat boy president" and mock them

[joemurphy]

4. As I said last night, there'll be a blue backdrop with white letters:

WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AM

ERICA (BUT NO SOLUTIONS FOR THE INNER CITIES, NO SOLUTIONS FOR JOBS, NO

SOLUTIONS FOR EDUCATION, NO SOLUTIONS FOR BLACK MEN IN JAIL, NO SOLUTIONS

FOR BLACK ON BLACK CRIME, NO HELP WITH AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, NO SOLUTIONS FOR

BLACK TEEN PREGNANCY, NO SOLUTIONS TO THE CRACK COCAINE PROBLEM, NO

SOLUTIONS TO BIGOTRY, NO SOLUTIONS TO INEQUALITY, NO SOLUTIONS TO ANY BLACK

PROBLEMS. JUST SIGNS SAYING...) WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR

BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING

FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORKING FOR BLACK AMERICA WORK

[AndyA]

5. I hope the NAACP places a few people with Parkinson's right down in

front of Bush, where they can sit there are glare at the S.O.B.

Further, I hope he gets a case of raging diarrhea while speaking, and messes himself in front of everyone. The bastard deserves worse.

This really has to be Bush's worst nightmare: being in a building full of people with skin of a different shade. If we could have all of them gay as well, oh my that might really put him over the edge!

[MarkDevin]

6. I'm wondering if he'll refer to African-Americans as "negro" or "colored."

Knowing him, it bloody well could happen!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. He might have been well-trained enough to avoid those terms,

but I'd expect him to say something about "you people" or "your people," and blather incoherently, saying things that don't actually make sense but manage to sound horribly patronizing and condescending.

[Fleshdancer]

8. I bet he uses the phrase "you people" at least once

seems like something he would say. ;)

[wanpete]

22. if he says "you people", trust me, it will be on with black folks...

that's a phrase that is totally disrespectful. He better come correct (not possible) and he better be sober.

[Lautremont]

9. He'll show up corked.

Drunk, in blackface, or both. Then he'll speak in cod Ebonics and try out a bit of rap, but blame his crummy flow on the whiskey.

[tridim]

11. I'm guessing he's pretty nervous about it

Maybe he'll unload a big diarrhea while at the podium, both verbally and literally.

I hope the NAACP makes us proud and doesn't let him get away with his BS pandering.

[AlCzervik]

19. you know his clinching face will give away the puckering of his

nether regions. If he said "Brown skinned people" it wouldn't surprise me at all, i still remember when he referred to the people of the middle east that way.

[whistle]

12. "Yo brothers and sisters, my friend Putin sends his best wishes to

...all of America's shahktors....'smurk'....'chuckle'....I think that means fellow coloreds....I hope."

Shahktor means coal-miners, a Russian term for blacks, which originated because of their dark skin which looks like it is covered in coal dust. Pronounced "shahktor" in Russian.

[Aviation Pro]

20. Priyatno

Hopefully, KGB Vlad gave him the genetive shahktorov. After all, there's nothing more important than good grammar to a Russian.

Oh, let's hope there's at least one Russian linguist at the event (Condomlezza sure as hell isn't) who can give Asshole a hearty "Ev tebya mat'!"

[whistle]

21. Spasibo.....and Köszönöm szépen in my parents native Hungarian

[Connie_Corleone]

13. It might be just as bad as the speech he gave before the Urban League.

He was talking about how Native American tribes were sovereign because they were sovereign.

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."

:eyes:

[Tanuki]

14. He will have

a carefully crafted text that someone else wrote, and he won't deviate from it. His handlers will make it clear that he is not to make any off the cuff remarks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Naww.

He's gotten so brain-fucked lately that no matter what kind of script they give him, he'll go off it and say something bizarrely stupid. That knucklehead couldn't piss a hole straight in the snow.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Anything he says will be bumbled at some point. He can't miss.

It's in his genes.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

18. What time is this little shingdig? And is C-Span carrying it live?

I'm thinking this is gonna be must see TV.

[smirkymonkey]

17. "Wait, why are there so many BLACK people here???"

"I thought this was the National Association of Affluent, Christian People....?"

[chat_noir]

23. lol

thanks for the first laugh of the day

[datasuspect]

24. anyone want to wager on how many skulls he'll rub?

?

[calico1]

25. He'll probably congratulate the audience by

telling them they are all "movin' on up." Or maybe he will compare himself to Lincoln and remind them that he is from the party of Lincoln that freed them.:eyes:

[blogslut]

26. Anybody know what time he'll speak

and whether or not C-Span will air the speech?

[npincus]

27. my question: why is he bothering, after 5 years of rejections?

does he think there will be an incremental "surge" in African-American support for the GOP? What's his motive?

[terrya]

28. He'll talk about...

how hard working the maids were at the house in Kennebunkport.

[StellaBlue]

31. I'm rubbing my hands together in gleeful anticipation

as soon as I heard that, I was like, "What? He's repeatedly turned down invitations to speak to them?" and, then, "What? Hahahahaha! This is going to be good."

[Crankie Avalon]

32. I wonder how any of the following will be addressed (if at all):

1. Federal response to Hurricane Katrina
2. Suppression of votes from African-Americans in Ohio during 2004 presidential election
3. Suppression of votes from African-Americans in Florida during 2000 presidental election

[NJCher]

33. too little too late

I don't know what he thinks he'll accomplish. African-Americans will no doubt be courteous but I find it hard to believe any will be convinced that bush has their best interests at heart.

[LeftHander]

34. Bush and MLK Protrait Unveiling....

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all very much for coming. Mrs. King, thanks for this beautiful portrait. I can't wait to hang it. (Laughter.)



Watch the video of our crass President in action...
