Bush Farewell Speech Thursday Night On Primetime

[NOW tense]

Source: AP

WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush will give a farewell address to the nation Thursday night, billed by the administration as a chance to reflect on his tenure and welcome Barack Obama without fighting old battles one last time.

Bush will deliver the speech, expected to run 10 to 15 minutes, from the ornate East Room of the White House. He will have a small audience of people in the room, chosen for their stories of personal courage.

a miss.

[ikojo]

2. I don't drink but I think there ought to be a drinking game

Chug when he says 9/11...

[NOW tense]

7. The game should be

How many times can you hit the T.V. with a foam shoe.

[PearliePoo2]

8. Yeah........like Poppy was all choked up....

saying 9/11 was a test for DimSon and he PASSED.
The old man is losing it.
The whole lot of them are fucking pathetic, criminal, revisionist in-denial bastards. :puke:

[liberaltrucker]

16. 8 years of this shit and you don't drink???!!!!

Hats off to your ability to stay sane while sober!
You're a stronger person than I!

Nonalcoholic :toast:

[Carni]

52. Are you trying to fill the emergency rooms to max capacity?!?!

My God man...what are you thinking?!?! LOL

[wundermaus]

3. Wouldn't it be fitting for the nation to boycott television that day?

I think that would send a loud, clear message of repudiation to him and his corporate controlled media.

[Mira]

35. He would not believe it. N/T

[hlthe2b]

4. Aww...he'll deign to address us hiding behind his "human shields"

who provide the stories of personal courage to deflect attention from this war-mongering, torturing coward.

[NOW tense]

5. What are the 5 things he is going to try shore up for his reputation?

1. He kept us safe. 9/11 9/11 9/11

[rsmith6621]

6. Here is My story of personal....

......COURAGE...

...In 2000 I voted for you mr bush......in 2001 I supported you wanting to start this war......in 2003 I had a epiphany that the war was all a lie......later in 2003 I said goodbye to 30 years of republican relationships in which I knew personally some major names....In 2004 I joined the DU and voted for my first Democratic President and did likewise in 2008.


So where is my invitation....COURAGE COMES IN ALL FORMS..

[peacebird]

17. I have a feeling that * views your courage as betrayal... He's not real big on introspection

or on people recognizing that their previous beliefs were flawed...

:hi:
Glad you have the courage to tell your story, and very glad that there are thoughtful, intelligent folk like you here.
cheers friend!
:toast:

[villager]

9. Why is this beady-eyed little turd doing this to us?

Or is that a rhetorical question?

[NOW tense]

12. The president also will defend his record, Perino said n/t

[villager]

13. Defensive little fucker, ain't he?

n/t

[NOW tense]

14. Maybe his family will have

a D in one hand and a Fence in the other.

[bushmeister0]

65. The Decider becomes the Defender.

[bdamomma]

58. and again place blame on others.

never ever himself. POS man. I hope he burns in hell.

[wordpix]

72. keep talking so we can get more on record to use when the time comes

to haul Smirk away where he can do no more harm

[liberaltrucker]

10. Thanks for the warning

I get a premonition of "technical difficulties" with my teevee.

:)

[OhioChick]

11. Think I'd rather watch cartoons. n/t

[stlsaxman]

15. Thanks but I'll probably watch Deadwood instead...

stories of people with integrity.

[Liberal Veteran]

18. Yeah...I think I'm shampooing my hair that night.

[salguine]

19. Don't make speeches, just fucking leave.

[NOW tense]

21. The White House says the ritual of a farewell address dates to the time of George Washington.

Give the boy a chance....

I am sure something important will come out of his mouth. like
"member that time when I said smoke'm out? heh heh heh heh. I said smoke'm"

[kirby]

22. I knew George Washington, and he is no George Washington. n/t

[salguine]

36. There's about as much chance of something important coming out of Dubya's mouth as there is

of Salma Hayek showing up at my door wearing only a towel and asking to use my shower.

[awoke_in_2003]

44. that is my recurring dream. nt

[Thor_MN]

46. hmmm, currently 8 below zero...

Salma in only a towel would be a mite cold... Not saying that I wouldn't welcome that scenario, but I think her feet would be awfully cold.

[Warren Stupidity]

49. The Talking White House?

Oh that is so cool.

He had many chances - an entire life of 'another chance' handed to him after each fuck up.

[Old and In the Way]

20. He deserves the same amount of attention he gave us these past 8 years.

None at all. I'd like to see a "0" share tune in for that speech.

[freeradicalm]

42. Agreed

My TV will not be on that night, I'll be at a yoga class. I would invite DU'ers to treat all of the Fox News clips that come across the wire with the same impunity. The only time they have a voice is if you listen to them. oreilly, coulter, hannicocksucker, limpballs, ignore ALL of their shit. PLEASE!

[Jefferson23]

23. My daughter suggested we have a throw a shoe party in his honor

[Warren Stupidity]

50. That doesn't work.

You could throw a shoe party. Or have a shoe throwing party. But it is really awkward to say you are 'going to have a throw a shoe party.'

[struggle4progress]

24. Isn't he gone yet?

[Faygo Kid]

25. For the first time in my life, I will want to take a leak on my TV. And I say that as a Lions' fan.

I'm not sure what I can add to that statement. So, I let it be.

G'bye George. Good riddance, obviously.

[liberaltrucker]

28. Just don't pee on the high voltage rectifier

You'd be shocked, SHOCKED!!
15 KV, but very little current.
Painful, but not dangerous. Like
................................
................................
................................

Being a Lions' fan.

:hide:

[Bluzmann57]

56. You're really a Lions fan?

I admire you. But I'm not a Lions fan and I'd still rather watch them than bush's farewell address. The words I want to hear coming out of his mouth are, "Your honor, I plead guilty and beg the mercy of the court."

[roamer65]

26. Bush can go fuck himself.

Useless piece of shit can eat static.

[llmart]

27. Will this piece of dogshit.....

just please GO AWAY so that we can start rebuilding our country and our image around the world?
I haven't watched him once in 8 years so I'm not about to start now.

[liberaltrucker]

29. His final address should be The Hague, Netherlands

:evilgrin:

[Sailing]

30. Oh darn. That's just when I'm busy clipping my toenails.

(nt)

[Harry Monroe]

31. I see where there is an episode of Gilligan's Island during that time slot

I'll be watching that. Watching a test pattern would be more appealing to me than seeing that idiot on TV one last time. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

[olddad56]

32. I misunderestimated the damage he could do in eight years time.

[MadMaddie]

33. I am going to be pissed if any of my shows get Preempted!!

[bdamomma]

59. me too, especially ER in its last season.

[rvablue]

68. Of course it will be. He couldn't resist destroying one more thing before he leaves office and

it's the only way he can get anyone to watch his sorry ass, as Thursdays are the most highly rated TV nights.

Wait for it on Friday... his handlers and minions screeching on every channel about how so many, many millions of Americans tuned in....NOT, they just took a bathroom break until CSI and Grey's Anatomy comes back on.


(Disclaimer: I know I watch too much TV.))

[MadMaddie]

69. Ha..ha.. Battlestar Gallactica is on Friday night......

Oh...I will not be happy!

[Baby Snooks]

34. Maybe he'll pass out by Thursday...

Quite a few believe he's been drinking. Maybe he'll pass out by Thursday. And Laura can just pack him up along with the things and just shove him in the moving van. And tell everyone he's "under the weather" and wishes everyone well.

[bdamomma]

60. maybe he will have a "meltdown" now that would be something to see.

he was close to it yesterday, but once a BS'er always a BS'er.

[all.of.me]

37. Barf. I won't be watching! nt

[IndianaGreen]

38. Please tell me this is the last time he is gonna be on TV

I rather watch 15 minutes of Barney.

[jimlup]

39. There is only one possible response

:puke:

[RCinBrooklyn]

40. Anyone know what chennels he won't be on? I want to autotune my TV to avoid him.

[CAG]

41. "He will have a small audience of people in the room...." wait for it...

and a small audience of people nationwide.

Go back to your village, idiot.

[NYC Liberal]

43. I'll skip, thanks. 30 Rock and The Office are both on Thursday night.

I'd rather be entertained than spend the evening in a bad mood from listening to that asshole.

Good riddance.

[DRoseDARs]

45. Breaking: Transcript leaked...

"Fuck you, bitches. Peace out." *thump thump sign*

True to form, shithead to the end. :)

[Buns_of_Fire]

47. "I have decided that our nation's situation is too serious to risk a change in administration...

"Therefore, I have declared martial law, effective immediately. You should have paid more attention to sentences 18 through 23 in Executive Order 328376684. I'm not leaving. Smirk. Now, let me introduce my new Secretary of the Treasury, Bernie Madoff..."

No, not really. It's his last attempt to try to spin things his way before the underlings start to spill the beans on the 21st. Maybe he'll have Barney there to roll a Christmas ornament around while he gets all weepy and soils himself and he'll be happy to see the nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take him away, ha, ha!

[Warren Stupidity]

48. I'll be busy washing my hair.

And oddly enough I really don't have much hair to wash.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

61. Don't go away sad. Don't go pre-fab. Don't go be bad . Don't go away mad. Just go away (go away)

Ooo oh ooo oh, Don't ya know
Don't wanna see you any more
Put up or shut up
You spell, you read
D O O R

You got a big mouth and
I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly
entrenched where a
molar should be
If you talk much louder you
could get an award
From the federal
communications board

...
Don't go away sad
Don't go pre-fab
Don't go be bad
Don't go away mad
Just go away (go away)

Oooo oh ooo oh, Don't ya know
Don't wanna see you here no more
Pack it and move it
You spell, you read O U T out

Don't be bad
A mad hatter's beret
Sometimes you look like you
just made an escape
Don't be mad
Or lose your medicaid cool
Of course cool rhymes with fool

Don't go be bad
Cause you been had
Don't go be sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away (go away)

O Don't ya know
Don't wanna see ya curse and pout
Pack it and move it
Ya spell, ya read O U T out

THANKS BLONDIE!
(meant to post to the OP!)

[bdamomma]

51. just good riddance you stupid little man

you have destroyed enough lives.

[Joe Bacon]

53. One last time...

Next Tuesday can't come soon enough!

Bye, Bye President Asshole!

[HopeHoops]

54. Isn't there a re-run of Survivor or something "classy" like that on as an alternative?

[Magleetis]

55. Lies, deceit and bullshit

It is all he knows.

I have never watched a boooosh speech and I wont start now.

Fodder for the spinsters.

FUGWB and get the fuck out of Obama's house.

[and-justice-for-all]

57. Sorry, I'm busy...nt

[FriendlyReminder]

62. I think I'll have that elective root canal with no anesthesia instead

[bdamomma]

63. just everyone change your channel when he comes on.

I would love to see the ratings come tumbling down.

[gauguin57]

64. Great! It will probably delay the start of some good TV shows, and screw up my VCR recording.

If I miss one minute of The Office or 30 Rock because of this yutz, I'll SUE, I tell you!

[bushmeister0]

66. Luckily, I'll be working at the bar.

After he's done, there should be a pretty big rush as people come out to celebrate his long drawn out departure.

Jeez, just go already!

[analogtv]

67. watch him on analog tv

I plan on tuning in old rat eyes on my analog tv using an antenna. I will be standing by with a sledge hammer just waiting for the first mispronunciation or patently false declaration. I will have my camera recording the end of two useless dinosaurs at the same time. I encourage anyone else who can to join me in celebrating the end of these eras in a demonstration equal to the opening shots of SCTV or Howard Beale's "I am as mad as hell and can't take this anymore" rant from NETWORK. so join me if you dare. Destroy your analog tv and kiss his butt goodbye. Capture it upload it pass it on to others.. and of course wear safety gear and recycle and dispose of the debris responsibly. hurry you don't have much time to prepare tell your friends

[MissMillie]

70. I may watch... this is the one thing I've wanted to hear him say for 8 years

"good-bye"

[wordpix]

71. another one! Crawl off the stage, you dangerous moran, so we can be done with you until

we see you again in handcuffs

[Cleita]

73. I wish I could be there with a sack of shoes to throw at him.

No doubt only robotons for Bush will be allowed to attend.

[Mad_Dem_X]

74. Oh, darn.

I have to rotate my tires tonight. I'm gonna miss it. :eyes:
