[j-whitman]

It would take a coalition Lewis Carroll & Edgar Rice Burroughs to invent a good State of the Union Speach for Bush ---- The authors of ''Tarza''n & ''Alice in Wonerland''

With this moron a$$-clown trying to craft a State of the Union address is a super-human challenge...hard to find that many single syllable words without repeating yourself every 5 seconds.

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto''s broke
No, they''re lazy, George, I say we don''t
Just give ''em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That''s what God recommends!

"And though the president often jokes about his shortcomings with the English language, his writers have to master his style and manner of speaking."

***? I thought God himself wrote those speeches! What''s going on here? Why do you need a writer when there''s a little voice inside your head guiding your every thought and move?

The Cowardly Cowboy is the only President who "Crafted the State of The Union Message" with a crayon.

Hmmm. Maybe Georgie would like some SUGGESTIONS for what would WORK - HARD WORK - in his speech.

How''s this:

Good Evening Folks.

As your President I''ve Worked HARD, Hard Work to TRASH this nations reputation, economy and self-esteem.

As you can see I''ve SUCCEEDED at SOMETHING so QUIT with your griping that I''''m not working HARD.

Me and my buddies T Blossom, Brownie and Darth have some really GREAT plans for a REALLY BIG BLOWOUT final year HE HE Smirk.

We''re not handing 20 BILLION in WEAPONS to the hometown of MY Buddy Bin Laden for NOTHING you know.

Just to make things MORE interesting we''re also upping a few more Billion to the land of the new and IMPROVED TALLYBAN!

To stir the mix and get even with all you disrespectful gripers about my using the Constitution to wipe my backside I''ve got Presidential Directive 51 so DON''T get smart with me or I''ll declare Martial law and WON''T leave for a couple more DECADES or at least not until my TRILLION DOLLAR CASTLE is finished on the ground predicted in the Bible that the Antichrist would build.

God TALKS WITH me and he''s said I have his permission to Prove Revelations RIGHT.

That''ll teach ya!!

Good (Long Dark) Night!

" It`s been such a great pleasure to watch you people suffer the last seven years. I have tried my very best to help ''corporate USA'' squeeze every cent and every beginning,I saw Rove`s lies were working extremely well.With a little fine-tuning we made sure the oil companies,the mega-buck insurance companies our friends in business would reap record profits as you sat by idly .
Most people know I don`t read or use the internets ,so I made sure I surrounded myself with people that thought like I do.I sold everything to the highest bidder. I almost got my personal attorney on the supreme court but,just the same I had the deck stacked.
My war turned out to the most profitable business encounter of my life. Of course I had failed miserably at previous business deals. I sure made up for it.

I took so much pleasure watching Katrina`s devastation,those people never voted for me,so they got what they deserved.

My friends have became filthy rich,much more than we ever anticipated.A few cents at the pump equals mega-bucks,but,we added dollars.Why just take advantage of working people ? Because I could and I did. I am '' The Decider ''.
When the polls showed me lacking the trust of the American people,I knew I was doing well.
My partner *** called one day,he said " W,I always knew you were untrustworthy and almost illiterate but look what we have accomplished",we laughed all afternoon.

Goodbye Cruel World - the company my wife works for has posted a new policy stating that employees should not voice their political affiliations in any government.

I got a hard time with this one. How could anything you say be interpreted as your wife saying it? Even tho I hate lawyers almost as much as Booshit, You could probably live off the lawsuit on this one!!

[bm6005]

These are the writers who should be on strike. To put it mildly "Bush would be speachless"!!!

[rushlimpdrug]

%u201CI think the biggest misimpression is that you can just write something and the president will read it and not notice it, not change it, not react violently to it if he disagrees,%u201D says McGurn.

"react violently to it if he disagrees"? ? ?

It would be nice to know what that means.
These people are just pandering to a loser.
Why they do it is a complete mystery to me.
While they make what he does possible, the country contines to go into a deep downward spiral.

This website and list fall under that category and thus she can be terminated for my contributions to these lists - thus I must retire to ensure her job is safe.

Be careful America - when it comes to employers forcing their methods of silencing free speech - America will not be free.

We have no choice - we are not independently wealthy. Thus one more free voice will be silenced to maintain our standard of living.

Beware America - subversion in freedoms by governments are equivalent to terrorist Attacks if they invoke FEAR and Squash the right of any individuals.

Stand for Freedom - Speak you mind!

What can he say that the American People would believe???

[christiansin]

I''ve got the beginning of the speach all worked out for him...

"My name''s George, George W. Bush. Momma says, stupid is as stupid does."

[newz4i]

copy/pasted from article: "Planning for it began in early December at one of the president%u2019s frequent meetings with his speechwriting team."

I''ve always said, the only way President Bush made any sense was when reading from a teleprompter ... and now I know he met with his "speech" team FREQUENTLY.
