fess up - who didn't watch bubble-boy's speech?

[radfringe]

I didn't. NPR had live broadcasts of two other "speeches" - both were essentially the same so I didn't see where there would be any "new" information coming out of the TV broadcast.

I did book-mark the transcript and will read it later - it's less painful than listening to the ummms and errs... I did quickly scan the transcript - nothing really new... same crap

I did watch Once Upon A Mattress -- enjoyed that.

[Qanisqineq]

1. Me

Didn't care in the least what he had to say. It has been the same thing for so damn long that I don't know why anyone bothers.

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. I didn't

It makes the neighbors nervous when they hear me screaming "FUCK YOU!" and "DIE!" So I've learned not to provoke them. Or me.

[xultar]

3. I didn't. Sometimes ignorace is bliss. I just didn't wanna see his ass or

hear his ignorace. I just couldn't take it. Today I had a passing thought about 2k4 election night when it was called for * and the heartbreak and disgust. I just couldn't watch his ass. I couldn't.

[Peter Frank]

4. I watched as much as I could stomach... n/t

[xultar]

5. Why?

[radfringe]

9. why watch or why didn't I watch?

didn't watch because:

1. same speech - different venue
2. cats hack up hairballs when they hear bush* and I didn't want to have to clean it up

[bananas]

16. I hack up hairballs when I hear him. nt

[xultar]

63. Why did you watch as much as you could stomach....yech...

Maybe cuz I have a low tolerance but I just couldn't take his ass.

[bananas]

15. If you could stomach any of it, you must have an iron-clad stomach. nt

[lildreamer316]

6. Me.

Figured I'd get the gist and the transcript here; why have to watch his face?

[Peter Frank]

7. It's the big lie over & over again...

No substance -- only rhetoric.

Where's the smiley where you yawn & puke at the same time?

[donheld]

8. I was watching Brokeback Mountain

A much prefered activity to watching the idiot.

57. The short story was good

why do gay cowboys = bad movie? I haven't seen the flick but I want to because I liked the story. Is there a combination of sexual orientation and occupation that you think makes for a good movie?

[Eugene]

10. I didn't watch it.

Bush keeps saying the same thing even his the tone is different.
I'll read the transcript when I get a chance.

14. Did dumbass give a speech today?

I wonder who wrote it for him.
Is that lady who he wanted for a Supreme Court Justice still writing his speeches?
You know - what's her name - it's on the tip of my tongue... it was big news a couple of months ago, somebody must remember her name, she's born again and all...

27. LOL

Are you having a coming out party or something? You really need to be a lot more subtle than this if you expect to last.

But, uh, welcome to DU and stuff. Here, have one on me. :toast:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

80. Dudes just don't try very hard anymore.

[slor]

28. Wow...you are in "denial"...

I just watched that idiot. He spewed the same crap as he always does, and if he really wanted to protect America, he would fess up to election theft, and turn the government over to the opposition.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

79. So, do you feel that because there was 9/11, that Bush is a king, with

unlimited powers to do as he sees fit, as long as it is in the name of "war on terrorism" and the country at large has no right to even ask what is being done in its name?

[cornermouse]

18. Me.

I went to bed.

[Piperay]

20. I didn't

cause I wasn't in the mood to hurl. :puke:

[radfringe]

21. before flipping the channel

my partner's only comment was "he's wearing a BLUE tie -- trying to look sincere..."


red or blue? colors do effect our perceptions... Red indicates strength/power, blue indicates concern and sincerity...

[KharmaTrain]

23. Let Me Count The Ways..

While I would have been amused to watch the fukstick try to lie his ass off about tapping American citizens again, there was a football game, Wizard of Oz, three DVDs from last holiday season, four un-returned phone calls, several blogs to check up on and a real life. If I wanted to live in asshat's bubble world, I'd be a Repugnican.

Cheers...

[Peter Frank]

26. Get off the fence... n/t

[NoPasaran]

24. Why watch that sad joke

When Comedy Central has PROFESSIONAL comedians on?

[KitchenWitch]

25. Me

I get physically ill listening to him speak.

[B Calm]

29. I watched the first two minutes. Had to turn it off after he invoked 9-11

[Peter Frank]

33. Exactly...

On 9-12 the free world declared, "Today we are all Americans."

No one had a problem with us invading Afghanistan -- me neither.

Bush miscalculated. Backed & informed only by his inner circle -- he thought that the American people would largely accept that all Arabs are pretty much the same.

He may have been counting on a tacit racism among his supporters.

America doesn't work this way. We need facts -- not generalizations to agree to risk blood & treasure on far flung adventures (not to mention that Bush acted as if he had a mandate.)

Humble Americans enjoy humble leadership. Arrogant leadership should annoy all but the most arrogant voters.

[Nothing Without Hope]

30. I didn't. Watching him makes me physically ill and distracts me in a

very negative way for days. I have the full transcript and can watch clips and read analyses. For this speech, that's enough - it's not worth the price to me to actually watch the nauseating monster lie.

[bowens43]

31. I haven't watched a speech by that asshole

in over 4 years. Unless there is a confession and resignation speech, I never will.

[bowens43]

32. I haven't watched a speech by that asshole

in over 4 years. Unless there is a confession and resignation speech, I never will.

[Disturbed]

34. Since I am not masochistic....

I don't listen or watch the Silverspoon Sociopath, er I mean The Glorious Leader, spout his crap.

[mrsadm]

36. As the senior Mrs. Bush once said ...

"why should I trouble my beautiful mind with that?"

Besides I didn't want to wretch.

[wakeme2008]

37. Meee

:hi:

Enjoying the pleasures for 3 hours of sitting in Atlanta's Hartfields Airport :(

[VOX]

38. I was at the gym, doing a two-hour workout.

At that's utterly painless compared to a single minute spent listening to that jerk. :grr:

[shenmue]

39. Me

I took the dog for a walk.

:7

[chicagiana]

40. Yeah I watched Stewey ...

... but some asshole pre-empted half the show for some stupid speech.

[RC]

41. No, I am already on blood pressure medication

Nothing this reality challenged administration says has much in the way of facts and even less truth.

Those orange jump suits and matching chrome plated hardware ready yet?

[forintegrity]

42. Not me...I got better things to do than listen to more of the same

[malaise]

43. I watched the first two minutes

then I watched this again, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5630065 had a good cry and then listened to the discussion with KO. Did I say fugg Bushco.

[ObaMania]

44. Me.

I wanted to protect my plasma since that motherf#@ker makes me want to throw things at the TV.

[soothsayer]

45. Why would I trouble my beautiful mind with such a thing?

[lonestarnot]

46. missed it.... but saw the confession of a tyrant speech

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

47. Nope, needed a decent night's sleep

The sight and/or sound of the Idjit in Chief brings on disturbing nightmares worse than anything Dickens could have imagined in his day.

[speedoo]

50. Haven't watched him in years. No reason to start now.

He makes me vomit.

[nolabels]

62. I have never watched or listened for more than thirty seconds

Now it's about five seconds, I become quite violent after that much and the electronic divices spewing the filth would never survive after that. Like a lot of people, kind of knew this Bush dude was a weasel at first glimpse. Maybe people shouldn't be that way with other people but with this Bush guy in focus it's just a simple matter of reason and making the exception

52. domestic monotony

...laundry, was my activity of choice. husband shouted, "Hey, you wanna hear this?" "What is it?", I hollered. When he told me what he was inviting me up for, *speak. For the first time in my life I had a zen-like appreciation for the folding of endless laundry.

[Dinger]

53. I Didn't

I had better things to do.

[BiggJawn]

54. Not Me.

Fuck him and fuck his whore Condi who was probably under the desk "Keeping him happy"...

55. I didn't watch......my sleep time is important....can't fill my head with

frightening and sickening visions right before bedtime.

Plus....all he does is regurgitate the same old message.

[DemonFighterLives]

56. Usually I would have watched but I got all I needed

in a couple of quick surfs past.
Talking Points- Check
Wild Gestures - Check
Then I hear on the news today that it was just a coincidence that GFY cheney was on a secret trip to Iraq yesterday. :wow: Glad it wasn't coordinated.
dubby got his Christmas present last night with another 450 billion voted for the war.

58. Missed it

too much tequila at the holiday party.

59. I watched Forest Gump.....Again

at least he is a funny idiot. (I know..not PC...get over it)

60. I'm sorry, I just don't like watching Special Olympics

83. ROFLMAO

61. I watched Born on the Fourth of July

Given two choices of something depressing that I've seen before, I picked the one with the believable message I agree with.

[Seabiscuit]

64. Not I. I haven't watched one of his speeches since "axis of evil".

[catmandu57]

65. Nope I was tokin on a number

and from reading the posts I had a firmer grasp on reality than the monkey boy*.

[mcar]

66. Not me

I can't stomach the guy. We watched "Forrest Gump" on TBS.

[insane_cratic_gal]

67. I can't

I get too angry when I see his mug anywhere in my house.

[leftchick]

68. I didn't!!!

[architect359]

69. He irks me to no end

So, no. I didn't pay much attention to even try to remember when he was going to open his big yap.

[Dr. Death]

70. I didn't

I was having a nice dinner with my wife.

Did * mention terra? :sarcasm:

[mondo joe]

71. I never watch. I'm quite content to get the information after the fact.

I wrapped presents instead.

[ProfessorGAC]

72. I Never Do. I Wait For The Transcripts To Hit The Net

First, i already know the list of platitudes that will be in the speech.

Secondly, i can't stand looking at that silverspoon cretin.

Lastly, i can read the speech a lot faster than he can recite it.
The Professor

[trogdor]

73. Life's too short.

I was watching The Grinch on ABC Family.

[sinkingfeeling]

74. Wouldn't watch him if I were paid to!!

[Ron Mexico]

75. I didn't. I bust my ass all week for my two days off, and I'm not going to

spoil them by eating a shit sandwich. A better question would be this: "Fess up - who didn't see every bullshit word coming?"

[FearofFutility]

76. I stopped watching his speeches

a while ago. I used to watch just to see how many malaprops would drop out of his mouth.

[ThatsMyBarack]

77. Instead....

....I watched Shall We Dance? (w/JLo and Richard Gere) on DVD! :applause:, me!

[radfringe]

78. comment from my boss

my boss asked me yesterday if I watched the speech, I said no, it was the same speech he's given over the past couple of weeks

boss: yeah, well, last night he didn't seem to stumble over his words as much, but I guess when you give the same speech over and over again you improve with practice... :grin:

[politicat]

81. I read the transcript. Too much organic brain disease for me.

I cannot watch him speak without becoming physically ill. He reminds me so much of my grandfather's Parkinson's, a dear friend with mid-stage Alzheimer's, and a late client who had near chronic petit mal seizures that I just want to reach through the screen and look in his medicine cabinet. There's got to be a couple score of scrips in there to keep him under control.

The man's brain is a wreck. It drives me bonkers that someone so fried has access to the button.

[Jamastiene]

82. He lies too much. I don't want that sort of "wood." (rant on)

The village idiot lies entirely too much. Even when he is telling the truth, it feels like we are getting screwed. Listening to him tell me he's screwing us is not something I'd volunteer to do.

Besides, do we really need to watch him when we will hear about it for the next week and a half? I mean really, he was on for over an hour the next day after the Sunday night interruption. He's beginning to look more and more like one of those dictators in other countries who broadcast their face and their version of events to the people in those countries reminding them that their country is the best in the world and that he is all knowing and all wonderful. :puke: Fuck that sob. I'd rather sit around and watch paint dry. Damn, just hearing about the surveillance makes me want to piss 'em off more. I don't know why that news has had that effect on me, but it has.

Sorry, for such a long rant, but I just had to get it off my chest.

:rant:

[Freedom_Aflaim]

84. Why bother?

Some old shit, different day

[cantstandbush]

85. Me. I will never watch him unless it is a resignation speech. n/t

86. I didn't

Can't bear watching him

87. Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears

That's the big news item from Sunday night. The president gave a speech?

[triguy46]

88. Not me.

I can't stand the sound of his voice or to see him. i'm on * blackout. will not listen to a word he mispronounces.

[baldguy]

89. Caught about to first 30 seconds.

After about 3 sentences and about 20 lies, I couldn't take anymore.

[Blue_In_AK]

92. I didn't...

The only parts I've seen are what LiveOakTx posted on DU.

[renate]

93. I sure didn't

What would be achieved except a lot of negative energy?
It distresses me very much, and with no net karmic gain, to listen to him speak and to see that smile/smirk he does after every point he makes. So I don't allow him in.

"There are 26 letters in the alphabet"
*smirk*
"That's why we have to wiretap our citizens."

No, thanks.

[MrSlayer]

94. I watched the Bears vs. Falcons game.

Vick is so friggin overrated.
