17. there was also a red scare theme...
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 10:47 AM by marions ghost
Communism /Terrorism /Communism /Enemies of Democracy

A general socialist sub-theme expressed in:

"The Dissidents of Today will be the Democratic Looters of Tomorrow."*

and "Extremists are not Patriots."

-------------

* No, Mr. pResident, you meant to say "Democratic LEADERS" :evilgrin:

20. I'll bet he did that so he could start including Hugo Chavez, a socialist
with right-wing fools they're all they same when it's time to "catapult the propaganda!"

This would lead some people to start looking for him to do something really filthy to Chavez, if he can figure out how to pull it off.

7. Go figure that.
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 10:16 AM by longship
Stephanie Miller covered it live but with a holy hell number of commercials. Didn't matter. Who wanted to listen to an hour of repeated malapropisms and platitudes? The commercials were much less painful than the Chimp.

10. They probably figure it's too damn boring and repetitive
to air anyhow. Why waste air time on the man anymore.

16. They didn't cover it because they didn't want people to see ..
... yet another shining example of how reality-avoidant and incoherent their 'President' has become.

21. Tin-foil hat speculation: Hiding Bush's Coke Jaw
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 11:07 AM by SpiralHawk
If you don't see it, he ain't got it.

But if all the corporate broadcasters put Bush's wig-wag tell-tale jaw on live TV for half an hour, then masses of American citizens are going to enter into a State of Perfect Wonder.

What the hell is wrong with that boy?
