Bush's speech today: "In the words of one Lebanese observer..."

[old blue]

From the transcript of the National Defense University speech today: "In the words of one Lebanese observer, "Democracy is knocking at the door of this country. And if it's successful in Lebanon, it is going to ring the doors of every Arab regime."

How obvious is it that a speechwriter just made this up?

[CO Liberal]

1. Is Democracy Ringing or Knocking????

Pretzelboy needs to make up his mind.....

:-)

[unblock]

5. "ring the doors"?? ugh... ring a doorBELL, KNOCK on a door,

impeach a DUMBbell.

[whistle]

13. Actually it is the sound of fingernails scrapping across.....

...a chalkboard :evilgrin:

[Jacobin]

2. Looks more like civil war to me.

I'm just sayin'

[Avalux]

7. I agree with you

Not all Lebanese are against Syria - evidenced by the march today. There will be a civil war.

[bigtree]

17. Especially if Bush insists on putting his mark on such a withdrawl

as Bush's interference will undeniably be seen as favoring Israel.

[whistle]

3. The one Lebanese observer would come from the BushCo....

...ranks of self-serving ass-kissers!

[Cocoa]

4. that's a Tom Friedman-like anecdote

that "Lebanese observer" works in the WH propaganda office.

[unblock]

exactly. they've got a staffer who's 1/16 lebanese.

[DenverDem]

12. No, just a guy who OBSERVES Lebanon.

Probably from K Street.

[LynnTheDem]

6. Poor bush doesn't know that the Lebanon majority support Syria & Hizbullah

The SHIA, bush.

No, bush, "democracy" isn't knocking at their door.

Civil war is, though.

By the way, bush, you're mixing your metaphors again. "KNOCKING" and "RING". Moran.

[tanyev]

8. If it's blasting down the door with a battering ram,

it may actually be something else pretending to be democracy.

[fob]

9. I guarantee if he* keeps up that lame-ass saying, at some point he's*

gonna say it this way;

"In the words of one Lesbian observer..."

[Demit]

10. A very corny speechwriter, one with no ear for actual dialogue.

In fact, sounds suspiciously like the young George W. Bush's writing. :puke:
I'd lay odds it's his.

[CO Liberal]

11. These Are Probably The Only Lebanese People Bush Really Knows About

Danny Thomas



Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr)

[Cooley Hurd]

15. That'll learn me to post before reading every post...

Ya beat me to the Jamie Farr joke by 3 hrs...:(;)

[Cooley Hurd]

14. No no - it's true! Here's a photo of the "Lebanese observer..."

...and he's even OBSERVING in the photo.;)

[Bluebear]

16. Please, I'm grateful he didn't blurt out "THE LESBIAN OBSERVERS"

What with the 'important' issue of banning gay marriage on his mind and all.
