Bush and his ridiculous speech today

you can tell someone wrote it for him

If you think it gets better, you should probably leave now. I don't think there is anything positive in the US's future for at least 50 years, and probably not even then.

2008, Jeb Bush will run for president. The beginning of the Bush Dynasty/Dictatorship, whatever you wanna call it. He is already being placed in higher profile situations, like the tsunami visit:
"Yeah, we're all saved, Jebediah is here!!! He had some bad storms and handed out some water one day for a few minutes while the cameras where there. We had the single worst natural disater in all of man kind! What's the difference?! Cheer Jeb!"

And I do love the whole "You're gonna be liberated, you're gonna be free, and you have no choice or say-so in getting this freedom!! You are not free to choose wether to be free or not, though. You HAVE to be free, whether you like it or not!!! You can be free to have a government of your choosing, as long as it is like ours, and the candidates are ones we pick!!!! Freedom is on the move, nothing can stop the raw power of our Mandated Army of Freedom! 50.000001% of the population voted for me, that is clearly a mandate that everything I do is perfect!!! Listen, and understand! That freedom is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are free!!! Or dead!!!!"

His speech made a lot more sense if you added in phrases at certain points in the speech such as, ". . . and oil", ". . . except for faggots", and the like.

God help us if anyone named "Jeb" becomes president.

We could shorten it all up and just give him the nickname "PresJeb".

"Hey what's up there Presjeb??"

"Uh, well, it's hard work! We got some initiatives. We need to stay the course. Now watch me kick this pile of shit!"

Funny

1993

2005

What the fuck was Hillary thinking when she got dressed that morning?!?!?!?!

to be fair, there have been (much?) worse natural disasters in even recent history. for example the cyclone in 1970 that killed around half a million people.

But I don't want to be fair. I want to be opinionated and swim in my bias!!!!!!!

But seriously, maybe not the worst in human history, but up there, and I still don't see what the fuck Jeb Bush, Governor of a State, is doing overseas as a representative of the Federal Government. He needs to be in Florida doing his job, but we all know the Bush's aren't known for showing up to work too well. =)

That's hilarious. :)

Four separate comments:

The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it.

You have your orders.

Quote:

America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies.

3.

Quote:

After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical -- and then there came a day of fire.

Even if we don't examine the world trade centre bombings, the operations in Kosovo, Somalia, or whatever - those years were under Clinton.

4. I counted the word "freedom" 27 times.

The speech didn't sound ridiculous, in fact it sounded dead serious.
At least it is nice though when someone tells it like it is, instead of beating aroung the bush. Honestly, the speech scares the living shit out of me. Who the heck writes a speech like that. It really sounds like some far out science fiction movie! The two pics above says it all... :(

Don't think it'll be 50 years before they've learnt their lesson though, I'll look the other way a 10 years or so, things will have changed for the better.

I guess it depends on your idea of better. If people still knew how to fight, there'd be a civil war going on right now. Also, I'd prefer if you use 'US' or 'America' or somesuch rather than 'you' as it feels rather targeted (even though it probably isn't).

Wow. That speech was pretty eloquent. Bush obviously employs some clever writers.

The federal government is on break right now, there's nothing to work on. :/

Plus, most State governments aren't really full time positions anyways. Hell, Jesse Ventura had time to coach baseball. I wouldn't be suprised to find out Jeb averages about 5 ~ 10 hours of real work a week.

Reading a couple posts in this thread, you'd think Bush were the only president to ever employ speechwriters. Of course, mentioning that wouldn't seem as insulting, now would it? Kind of like the Jeb goes to India thing. Government officials take vacations all the time, but if a Bush member goes on a goodwill mission it means he's plotting to take over the White House.

I have to agree with this. I don't like Bush either, but lets pick valid issues to critisize him on. (Don't worry, there are plenty.)

Apparently history remembers Calvin Coolidge as the last U.S. president to write his own speeches.
