Let's have our own press conference for George W Bush....
You only get one question with no followups. What would you ask? I'll ask the first question.

"Mr Bush, what can you tell us about the OSP and how much intel information have you received from them?"

2. What was SO interesting about the Pet Goat Story?
Must have been one hell of a "page turner" to take priority over America being attacked and the death of thousands.

15. I wonder if you wonder about uh - how much I wonder.
"Which is why I wonder where this question is uh, going - are you... playing politics with 9-11? In the history of freedom, politics may be the glue, but integrity, and compassionizing, and collateralisms... those are what move us forward. So if you don't mind, I'm uh gonna go back and take another question from the one with the shaky hand. Ol Shakyhands, huh. eh eh eh."

16. Very funny, waterman... she gave us plenty of water, that's for sure.
"And water as we know, is the source of all life - and life is private, individual - so we privatize it, and by privatizing water... we enhance the flow, the flow of democracy, of good tidings to the heart - uh of the land, of the homeland. Godblessmerica."

"That is to say, serving him... by slaying, those that stand against him, against human decencies... is what dignity is, because evil hates the humbleness, the good nature that America is all about... and when we allow the most dangerous men to have the most dangerous weapons, the threat cannot be tolerated, uh - though humbleness is... is what's... uh..."

24. all we need is some studio time
Then we dress and make up a person to act "GWB" and have a room full of actors/actresses playing real journalists asking questions.

Then GWB gives honest answers as we already know them. It would be the biggest hit of the underground video universe, likely putting serious pressure on the real press conference to come clean.

Knowing he'd have truth syrum in the real thing.

Reporter, Chicago Tribune: "Mr. President. Why did you cut funding to family planning and healthcare services worldwide that recommend abortion as an option?"

A: "Well, you see I and my fundamentalist christian supporters are mostly men, and we want to repress women by making them have more children. Statistics show that women without family planning are less likely to get higher education, are less likely to vote, participate in democracy or achieve western levels of human rights. This makes them perfect for cheap factory labour as we break the backs of the american middle class by shipping jobs overseas. You see, my constituents are mostly church going christian folks in the blue states, where corporate welfare is important for keeping unsustainable businesses running. To do this, i have to set up policies that steal the wealth of the coastal states and ship it towards the states without serious economic viability, as they are the states i have to buy off to win the next election.
As well, my buddies who gave me big campaign contributions and who buy off the republican congress, they are all huge corporations who need to break organized labour in america in order to increase profits so that the wealthiest people in america can get better tax breaks. Hell, what the fuck do i care about some homeless americans who won't work for a living. They are scum, just like gays and n***ers..oh! i mean sp*cks... oh no? crackers... oh damn.. lets just call them all minorities.
You see my constituents are deeply racist, and hate it that n***ers and oh! minorities, are getting our jobs, so i've made it so that homeland security can focus on traitors in america, like women, gays, ni... minorities, veterans, homeless people and other scum who leech off of the rich. Whats important is to create jobs, and for that we need to break the backs of the middle class so that cheap labour is everywhere in america. This is why we need more teenage pregnancies and less medical care. Hell, how the hell can we expect to keep people working 2 jobs if they can get medical services?
That's besides the point, really. My constituents find feminism repulsive. It is those uppity bitches who don't know their place in life that have lead to this whole problem in the first place. SO, i say categorially, that if you're bitch gets out of line, just slap her and give her some of the big sausage (grabs groin) like i do with barbara.. my hoe. Fuck them bitches and make them fat and pregnant, then they need you around to pay the bills, so they don't mind a few whores on the side. How else can we get the population to rise up so we can compete with china and india?"


Next question?

27. you know, all we need is a script
Its a one day filming job. No lines to memorize and the bush lookalike can read the teleprompter.

If we got a comprehensive script and answer session, anyone who saw it would be shocked, by the intense truth behind it... as we all KNOW they think like that.. and to dump it out on camera would be like a dam breaking.

What about your energy policy
What about security and the war on terror
What is your view on corporate america
How do you make decisions mr bush


Likely it would only take about 10 questions, and bush could wander off topic in his answers to cover anything else. The entire sequence would run 1/2 hour max, and be the best bush satire filmed.

28. hmmm
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 10:20 PM by thebigidea
heh, there's probably about a hundred questions and answers in this script:

http://terminalproduct.com/regimechange.html

Boy, a weird read... all my most paranoid 2002 satire turned out to not only come true, but an even more gruesome way. Damn that Cheney mob.

we did put together a 9 minute or so rough cut of a press conference with keyed in backgrounds and a strange press corps asking dubya harsh questions, his answers are cutup actual Bush speech gibberish.

"Makin' good progress" works for any question.

anyway that'll be trimmed and tucked into the "Paranoia Show" DVD... coming to a migraine headache... NEAR YOU!

33. Ok, brainstorm
I'm go. 10 questions could fit in the segment. To frame the broad script, we need 10 newspapers, 10 questions.

The list of city/newspapers needs to be as much from blue states as possible... please help.... then we can make the names.
Los Angeles Tymes
Wall STreet Urinal
Washington Pest
Philadelphia xxx?
Chicago xxx?
Denver xxx?
Phoenix
Dallas
Atlanta
Boston xxx

Next the questions: No question will be about gays, women or any minority groups as he will bash them in all his answers by wandering off topic as in the example script... Ideally the topics are matched to the cities most affected. perhaps 12 questions and we can leave 2 on the editing floor

Topics:
1. security - Washington postal
2. welfare and the homeless - Los angeles
3. the defecit - wall street journal
4. Jobs and outsourcing - Boston
5. Patriot act - Philadelphia
6. Healthcare - chicago
7. Separation of church and state - Dallas
8. Gun crime - Atlanta
9. Drugs and the drugs war - phoenix
10. Iraq, Afganistan, WMD's and war. - Denver
11. Gay marriage and equal opportunity for women - seattle
12. Corporate welfare and economic growth - (some military base/state)

The questions should cover every point in a broad stroke, so that his wandering answers can really be complete. Is this list complete... please edit and recommend.

THe answers, i'm happy to work on... its writers craft.

Does anyone know an actor, amateur even, who can do facial expression imitations of bush as well as voice imitations... best with voice imitations.

This skit will work just as well as an audio clip, we can dump it in to the public domain, hell, even publish it here.

With the right recording (video), this could make live broadcast on like conan obrien. I can already feel it intuitively that this will get the goat of every republican out there... Sterling i think can help us later i production.

I'm dead serious about getting this to a script. I'll cut up his SOTU and ram it back up his ass with this... ohhh boy this is a gasss. :) In the spirit of monty python, is this the right room for an argument... yea babe.

34. does no body else think this has potential?
I think it would be brilliant, and it need not be as foul as i made this one... rather it can use his exact cadence of language, except telling the whole truth and leaving nothing out.

They use fake staged media to lie.. so it is they who set the precedent... why not run with it. It'll make for a VERY hot potatoe.

Are you calling Colin Powell a liar?

31. how does it feel that 520 American soldiers died for nothing?
How can you say their blood is not on your hands?

How many lives are you responsible for ending now?

There's all the people in Texas on death row who died.

There are countless Iraqi civilians.

There are countless Iraqi conscripts, many boys as young as 13, who you bombed to shreds.

And now 520 American soldiers.

And all the arms and legs that have been lost.

How does it feel to be one of the most violent despotic leaders in the civilized world EVER?
