1. Sorry I don't know
And one of the reasons I don't know is that the * media NEVER FOLLOWS THROUGH AND DEMANDS ANSWERS FROM THIS CHIMP!! I mean, how hard is it to ask * "What happened to your weekly speeches?" But nooooo....little * might get upset. O.k, end of rant. I'm o.k. now (sort of):-)

7. Indeed, the Lack of Follow-Up by the Press on Something Like This
is, at best, depressing...

5. Rush (Georgie's "connection") has had a slight supply problem

and without the proper "motivation," L'il George is kinda camera shy.

Actually, KKKarl Rove has noted the infamous "pie hole factor" and shitcanned the whole idea.

which is a good thing, because L'il George's attorney has also advised him not to further incriminate himself.

6. They Were Banking On Good Things Happening to Make Speeches
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 11:19 AM by Beetwasher
about. Best laid plans and all that...

Remember, right after the first speech was the week when they had the whole fiasco in getting someone to accept the Iraqi Presidency. I'm sure the second speech was probably supposed to crow about how succesful that process was. It turned out to be a fiasco (for a change).

The first one was so "successful" that I guess they decided they didn't need to do the rest...:eyes:

8. maybe that speech...
..to the troops yesterday was one of them. But it does seem they've gone away.

And they're going to pull their advertising, too. Maybe they've realized that the more people see of George, the less they like him.

9. Every time he makes a speech, he loses 857,622.045 votes??
Could that be a reason to stop?

10. All they had to do is tape one speech and play replay it each week.
"Terrists, Saddam bad man gassed his people, Saddam = 9/11 = al Qaeda, stay the course, terrists, Saddam bad man, Terrsts, I'm the war president, Terrists, Saddam bad man, Stay the course."


Squaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak! Polly want a cracker!
