1. So much to lie about, so little time. He has to cram all the b.s.
in, and spin it just right.

13. Does he use the word "draft" in any versions?
Or, "Chickenhawks, please enlist."
Need more cannon fodder.

15. There is a story... don't know if it's true, but it was told to me...
That during one of his SOTU addresses, the teleprompter went off on CLinton and he ad-libbed 20 minutes of the foreign policy section of the speech, and it was so good that you couldn't tell. He had his faults and his pecadillos, but Bill Clinton was probably the most naturally gifted public speaker ever to be POTUS. I believe that.

17. They are dribbling out little parts of his speech ...
then wait to see what our talking points are then they change the speech to counteract our points. They send tweety out to make some of their points and get the dems to react to it, then he and wolf bitzer report back.
