Is Bush finally resigning on Sunday night?
I can't think of what else he could have to say...

Stick a fork in his ass and turn him over, he's done.

2. Bush will annouce his 'victory in Iraq'
and use that 'victory' as an excuse to withdraw.

3. Heart be still.
You shouldn't tease an old woman that way :-). I could have a heart attack from the joy.

5. nah, it will be some
more squatter bullshit about how the tax cuts R getting the economy going. He is probably hoping colon bowel pulls his magic twanger @ the UN and the rest of the world saves his sorry ass from his Iraqi disaster. Rat Bastard!

7. YES! BECAUSE HE'S A MISERABLE FAILURE!
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 09:38 PM by redwitch
sigh, wish he would, he's probably going to try to tell us how wonderful the economic recovery is, due to his wonderful tax cuts.

10. If we could get his phone #
we could probably prank call him and tell him "it's Jesus on the line and I want you to resign..."

That would work...

25. Yep, Bush the miserable failure, especially 911
He spent more time covering for his cronies and business partners in the Saudi royal family and the Binladens than he did protecting America from terrorists. Gephardt was absolutely right, Bush is a miserable failure on foreign policy. Why isn't he in prison?

3000 dead on 911, and who knows how many soldiers dead in Iraq and Afghanistan. BUSH IS A MISERABLE FAILURE.

8. Ha! you made my night
Sunday will probably be used for more strutting and posturing to cover up even more lies and transgressions. Maybe he will tell us all that the time has come to install democracy in Iran and Syria.

9. If Bush didn't admit defeat when he LOST the election, why would he now?
Junior is a spoiled rich child who has never been held accountable to anything or anyone in his entire life. He wouldn't resign even if he got caught comitting a crime like Janklow.

13. I hope Bush doesn't resign
If he did, CHENEY would be president, and I'm afraid that would be even worse than Bush, if that is even possible. :scared:

14. No resignation. Keep tally of these words though.
You might want to have a pencil and paper handy.

In the left column, write down "Saddam Hussein". In the right, write "Al Qaeda". Keep tally marks under each for the number of times they are stated.

30. Reminds me of the SOTU drinking game . . .
I did it the last two years, once when I was actually drinking beer and ended up drinking some 16 oz. strong German beers.

http://law.upenn.edu/%7Emmelzer/sotudg/

Same damn words to tally:

Tax cut

Stimulus

Terror/Terrorism/ “Terrah”

(last year’s killer with 32)

(including "terrorist")

Iraq or Saddam Hussein
regime or regime change

Disarm/disarmament

Weapons of mass destruction

“Biological, chemical and nuclear (“nukular”) weapons”

North Korea

United Nations

(UN) Security Council

"Freedom."

33. Don't forget terra or terraists
I'll bet he invokes those words no less than 20 or 30 times. It is always the subject of his speeches. All this regime knows is fear. They took their lessons from Julius Ceasar. Keep the people in fear, and they will do your bidding for you.

15. If only we can be so lucky
No, it is damage control because things are literally unraveling in Iraq. He will point out about the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and that this is a war on terror, sacrafice is required against these evil duers, that we are bringing the terrorists out to fight, the resistance is Saddam loaylists and Al Qaeda who attacked us and wish to kill us, and how we liberated the Iraqis and it will take time and sacrafice to defeat the foes who hate our freedom and who knows what type of bullshit Karl Rove will concoct to spin this disaster. Of course he will ignore the reality that Iraq did not attack us, did not have WMD and was the least of our threats in that region (isn't the case anymore). Is it conincidental this is coming on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary?

16. The Bush Speech Drinking Game
A shot for every time he says

"terra"
"sacrifice"
"evil-doers"
"war on terra"
"we will hunt them down, one by one"
"the terrorists who seek to harm us"


Damn, too bad I don't drink anymore. Or maybe it's a good thing, you are bound to get wasted playing this game.

26. Don't forget "peace loving"...
This guy starts more wars, and is responsible for more deaths, than any other so-called "peace loving" person I've ever heard of. It amazes me that he can say the word without some kind of divine sign that what he wages sure as hell isn't peace.

20. That's a neat idea, although
the only way that I could ever force myself to watch/listen to Shrub anymore would be to drink the strongest hooch available! Since I have a very low tolerance for alcohol and don't drink much anyway, it wouldn't be long before I'd either pass out or be too wasted to continue watching/listening.

22. Bush will be asking for $70 Billion on Monday
He better damn well say something on Sunday, or all those folks who were told we couldn't afford a prescription drug plan for their parents, nor the Americorp program for their kids, are gonna start getting good and pissed off. Hell, they may even - trembling and ashamed at what the fever did to them - start peeling those asinine "These Colors don't Run" stickers off their back windows.

Bush will bankrupt us thoroughly. We're just hitting that time when the lack of social services starts to pinch damn hard, and it is just at this time that Bush has to go hat in hand to a broke ass Congress, pleading for money for water pipes in Iraq that will be blown shithole open a week after they're made. And Susan in central Pennsylvania has to pay for Billy's new daycare, cuz the after school program was cut? Oh, and the 422 Quartermaster crew is chilling in Baquoba with no air conditioning and poor quarters, hoping to hell they don't get their legs blown off on the way to re-up on MRE's?

Big shitstorm. $70 billion. Bushie better fucking say something.

24. If he actually has the nerve to ask
for that kind of money, I think you really WILL be able to stick a fork in him, because his ass will be DONE. He can blather all he wants about how it's necessary for us all to "sacrifice" now at this critical, trying time of testing for our great nation, blahblahblah, but a lot of people will know that what he REALLY means by that is that the average John and Jane Q citizen are the only ones expected to do any of this noble "sacrificing." The country is bleeding jobs and money, the tax cuts have come home to roost and bite the economy in the ass, and people will be in no mood to hear this spoiled rich kid's blathering on about "sacrifice" and the need to spend billions more on a country which we destroyed for no reason in the first place, and which people are beginning to realize is quickly becoming an endless money pit.

28. Ain't gonna happen...
but it would be a REAL nice rumor to spread! ;)

I tend to think the "speech" will go as the person who suggested the drinking game, but I'd like to add one more to the list:
"God" (or "Lord," or some such synonym.)...in conjunction with some "patriotic" phrase.

for our country. On 9/11. Earn nothing and work overtime to do it.

34. Oh, yeah. That's it.
:eyes:

He's declaring Sept. 11 "Loyalty Day" or some such nonsense.

He's also going to go into a big song and dance about how the reason we haven't stabilized Afghanistan, caught Osama, found Saddam, avoided a clusterfuck in Iraq, or gotten the world community on board with us is because the rich need more tax cuts.

35. I predict ...
... that he'll (yet again) invoke the spectre of 9-11 to call for passage of the "Victory" act, another round of tax cuts for the rich, more corporate welfare, more privatization of the common weal, and more "faith-based" programs. He'll blame "lack of better progress" in domestic areas on his opponents and claim that he's not gotten enough support from Congress. He'll likewise point the finger at other nations for similar "lack of better progress" in Iraq and Afgahnistan, while painting those noxious turds with glitter and acrylics.

These people fully subscribe to the notion that the best defense is a good offense -- and they're more offensive a cabal than I've ever imagined in my worst nightmares for this nation.
