"The party of the doer and the dreamer, the people that work" eh? Well, Bush is dreaming, I will give him that.

Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), general chairman of the RNC, introduced Bush. "Today we face another ideology that hates freedom,'' said Martinez, introducing a president who knows how to lead, "a man of courage and vision."

"Please be seated…" Bush said - though there were no chairs on the armory floor. ....

"We will succeed in Iraq," President Bush said last night at a fundraising gala for the Republican Party.

The Republican National Committee succeeded in raising $10.5 million at the presidential gala, a $1,500-per-person evening at a "heavy appetizer buffet'' with a shimmering neon lava-lamp décor in the airplane hangar-like hall of the DC Armory.

"I believe we're the party of the doer, the dreamer, the people that work,'' the president told Republican donors assembled here. "I believe we're the party of low taxes. And I know we're the party of strong national defense to protect the United States of America.''..

1. he believes there were WMD in Iraq and that

Brownie was doing a heck of a job.

This isn't a speech - these are delusional rantings.

2. "Presidential gala"...wtf..."Heavy apetizer buffet" and no place

to sit...Might as well have had it outside and called it a picnic; at least people would have been able to sit down on the grass...:D

3. better

More like 'Drunk Driver-in-Chief;' both literally and figuratively.

4. LMFAO, the "people that work" can't afford $1500 a plate to see a drunk jackass

[BurtWorm]

8. Drunken jackasses can be pretty entertaining

but damn! $1500? I'd want him to do a lot more than stammer about the Republican Party. Ride in the cage of death at least...

5. They're people who live off "the people that work" ... profiting from the labors of others.

The Plantation Aristocracy of the 21st Century. :puke:

6. What? I thought he* was the commander guy? nt

7. So where were all of you on September 11, 2001?

George Bush:

"And I know we're the party of strong national defense to protect the United States of America."

Shows what he knows: NOTHING.

Capt. Codpiece went AWOL when he was supposed to serve his country. Fine leader he turned out to be.

[ComerPerro]

9. they were the party of strong defense then, too. They were just on vacation

[onethatcares]

10. 10.5 million fucking dollars at one stop?

that's almost enough to pay for jebs degree, or to help Punta Gorda out still, or do a bit for the Gulf Coast. What the hell do these people get for that kind of money? The chance to lord it over their neighbors??? Thank gaud for the tax cuts, I think the last time I paid 1500.00 dollars for an appetizer heavy buffet was never.

11. Text doesn't accurately describe the scene...

The clip I saw, he was screaming like a lunatic.

12. WTF?

"Please be seated…" Bush said - though there were no chairs on the armory floor. ....

..."heavy appetizer buffet'' with a shimmering neon lava-lamp décor...


What in the hell is shimmering neon lava lamp decor? There is something very bizarre about this article.
