NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell says Bush will make a statement on the war supplemental before departing on Marine One at 11:15am for his trip to New York to talk about No Child Left Behind. Advisers add the president will speak for as many as eight to ten minutes.

1. I wonder if he'll muse about chicken plucking?

[Connie_Corleone]

2. Don't forget that damn rug.

[myrna minx]

20. You know what I'm talking about.

[rodeodance]

9. the Dems are those feathers just tickling him and he hates it.

[myrna minx]

22. Well, if they have to tickle a reasonable foreign policy out of him,

I say do it! :rofl:

[bdamomma]

40. he hates the idea of withdrawal , he wants more death and more murder.

this guy has got to go.

[wakeme2008]

3. Grrr his daily Dems are Terrorist

I am getting sick of his daily campaigning .

[rusty charly]

7. It's like he's become a spokesmodel for the war.

[JoMama49]

4. I wonder if he's doing this to take the attention away from the

Jessica Lynch/Pat Tillman Hearing going on at the same time:

[fooj]

27. My theory.

[bdamomma]

41. also taking away attention from Dennis too bad George

nobody wants to hear your propaganda.

[bowens43]

5. Is Little King George

[Blackhatjack]

14. If I were you I would copyright that word --- LOL

If it ever makes its way into the dictionary, you will be rich!

[Javaman]

38. I'm waiting from him to jump up on the podium and start throwing his shit

at the reporters. nt

[Blackhatjack]

10. More slurred speech, more misuse of the English language, more of the same....

What he fails to understand is that multiple appearances on TV just confirm to the rest of the country that their vote in 2006 to end this war has not penetrated his brain.

[Botany]

11. too early to drink?

Micro manage
Generals on the Ground
Support of and or for "the troops"
Some vague that they will follow us here
9-11
progress
"they want us to lose our will"
The mission
Victory
Democracy .... something about Iraqis voting
time table
some crap about the 9 from the 82nd airborne getting killed .... I mourn and the families have given
so much so we must keep the killing going
Iraqis taking over more of their own defense

[sabra]

15. fighting them over there... blah blah blah

[Zywiec]

21. The perfect template for all his speeches.

[MUAD_DIB]

26. For drunks it is never "too early" to drink.

[Lerkfish]

12. this is intentional hogging of tv time to bump off Kucinich's announcement

watch him start late and run over.
mark my words

[YDogg]

17. yup

[npincus]

16. MSNBC: B*sh to read words off a piece of paper

[Ganja Ninja]

18. "Send me the bill so I can veto it ... blah, blah, blah."

Fuck him and his fucking war! The minute he veto's that bill they should immediately table everything and start his impeachment.

[MUAD_DIB]

29. They could just send him a bill that cuts out all funding. n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

36. Send him a bill that gives him all the funding he wants ....

And put his resignation in the fine print.

[bdamomma]

42. he pushes us, we just push back!!!

[Monkeyman]

19. ah ah ah Funding the Troops Democrats put them in danger old news

[magellan]

23. Woohoo, 8-10 minutes of abusive drivel to look forward to!

Fortunately Democracy Now! starts at 11:00.

[gratuitous]

24. Will he take any questions?

Or will he read his little statement and then skedaddle for Air Force One?

Anyway, there you go troops: You're worth "as many as eight to ten minutes" of bloviating from your commander in chief. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

[global1]

25. It Strikes Me That *Co Is Really Concerned About This Bill Being Sent To Him.....

they say the best defense is a good offense - and I think that is what he is doing.

Continually hammering the Dems - because bottom line he doesn't want to be backed into a corner of having to veto this bill. He realizes he really can't veto this bill.

So he is continually going on the offense here hoping that the Dems will back down.

I'm thinking that the Dems finally have his back against the wall.

The Dems need to keep pushing. They took the 'so-called' pork out of the bill. They are giving him the $'s he says he needs. If he veto's it - it is only because he wants to continue this 'occupation'.

[Ganja Ninja]

35. They do seem to be a little more worked up then usual.

Perhaps they know that they can only use this bluff for so long and then they have to take what's given them. Bottom line is Bush is responsible for the safety of the troops. The Dem's can't order a pull out. He can't reject funds and then blame the Dem's for the consequences. He's the decider and if he doesn't act he's derelict in his duties.

[Paulie]

28. 45 Min before Kucinich presser starts

Distract distract distract

[npincus]

30. Will Kucinich presser be televised?

which channel? Anyone?

[Paulie]

32. You would hope it would be.

And I had the time wrong, Kucinich is at noon eastern.

[kskiska]

31. Might that coincide with Jessica Lynch's testimony?

Tillman's brother is speaking now - 10:40.

[City Lights]

33. "Advisors add the 'presiputz' will speak for as many as eight to ten minutes."

:rofl:

8-10 minutes, eh? Lil' George musta been up late last night trying to memorize his lines.

[youthere]

34. Interesting...right during the Tillman hearing.

[paparush]

37. Its All War, All Day!! Bush is slappin down tracks with hot stacks of wax

Spinning the war machine baby! Give war a chance!

The man can't string together two coherent sentences, but my god, give him a cause, give him an issue, give him more bloody stumps and orphaned children, and he'll stand up there and SERVE IT UP, dish it out like Sam Kenison channeling Richard Pryor.

[bdamomma]

39. spewing more propaganda,

this guy is so delusional sickening SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stray cat]

43. Why does anyone want to give him another blank check?
