Do you think that bush has ever written his own speech...
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 10:18 AM by butterfly77
and do you notice everytime he is suppose to be saying something from the heart, he has to read it. When he came out to endorse Hastert he had to read how he felt about him. If you look at a number of his appearances he always has to read, I do not remember this with any other president. Although bush is not the president, maybe that is the reason ...

1. See if his crayons look worn. If not, he hasn't written anything.

9. Jon Stewart refers to those "endorsements" as Bu$h's book reports.
on a junior high level. :-)

A few years ago he needed help with the words and hand gestures to "Itsy Bitsy Spider", so my vote would be no he doesn't write his speeches,just draws obscene doodles in the margins.

10. NO! Actually, few Presidents ever do. I can only remember 2
in recent years..Kennedy & Clinton, and even they had writers, but they were so personally critical, they always revoewed what the speechwriters wrote, and often completely changedit to their own liking.

With Shrub, we all se e how bad he does when speaking off the cuff. I can just imagin what very short dumb statements might be on that paper!

25. Actually, Jimmy Carter did much of his own work....
and some rhetorical scholars suggest the fact that he wasn't very good at it led to his demise.

26. I'm surprised that he can use an ear prompter
That takes a lot of skill.

Of course, the answer may lie here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3934788900154749704

14. Sock puppets aren't known for their writing prowess
It's all they can do to inject him with valium and prop him up in front of the cameras.

19. If this was any other president...
This would be asked somehow in a press conference " Mr.clinton are those your own feelings about----or did someone write them for you" Or something to that effect.

How many "Bushism" books have been published He could NEVER write a speech. Hell, he can barely read a damn teleprompter and when he does, he fucks THAT up.

18. This is a rhetorical question, right?
The very idea that a barely functional illiterate like him could write a speech is laughable. :rofl:

20. That's because when he speaks off the top of his head
he utters nonsensical bullshit like "Fool me twice - shame on, shame - see, you can't get fooled again."

21. He does what the Family Guy creators did in that South Park episode
uses manatees to push "idea balls" into combinations. Of course, all his idea balls are "9/11," "terra," "freedom," etc.

Write his own speech? No, son- I doubt it.
