3. Prediction
Three questions, no substantive answers, then "We gotta go, lunch is waiting."

The Amazing Gratnak is nearly as accurate and reliable as the Magic 8 Ball, and you don't have to turn him over!

7. "Lunch!" Did someone say "lunch" ?
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 11:17 AM by SpiralHawk
"Well, you know, a man has 'needs.'" - G. W. Bush*

*(Records show G.W. Bush has never been AWOL at lunch, and he is proud to run for re-selection on his impeccable record of lunch taking and digestion.

21. And the Asshole in Chief makes fun of him
"I'm not so sure I agree with that," in response to a question asked in Arabic before the question had been translated.

A sad attempt at humor that fell flat.

37. Yeah, he really is
And Allawi is making him looking even more like a babbling idiot.

But seriously, "I know that's how thing's are because the prime minister told me so." Uh. Are you kidding?

Plus,Bush isn't getting the irony of saying that Iraqis yearn for freedom when they're getting their asses handed to them everyday.

Is the world better off without Sadaam in power. Hmm, let's see. He did kill a bunch of people during his regime, including the ones we were okee doke with in the 80s. But, Over 1,000 americans would still be alive if Sadaam was in power, 10s of thousands of Iraqis, and Iraqi wouldn't be filled with "terrorists". Tossup.

36. I'm watching
the "press conference" on CNN. I can't believe what a fucking illiterate idiot shrub is. I usually try to avoid listening to him, as I find it embarrassing to think he is a member of the same race that I am. Holy shit, this guy just continues to babble the same crap over and over and over. My sympathies are with the American citizens with a brain. Vote the fucker out!

Kind of intriguing to watch. Allawi is just as bad as Sadam and Bush is more evil than both of them. Good to see Allawi came out of his frady hole for this little stunt.

60. Randal Golen (sp) Faux News
For some reason the past two days I have found the strength to listen to shithead talk for longer than one minute. I must confess I pay no attention to fox news and had suspected that maybe those of us on our side might have exaggerated slightly the fox news bias. Mea Culpa. This Golen guy asks something along the lines of "How much does Kerry's criticism of the war screw our soldiers in Iraq, a whole huge humongously large amount, or just a humongous amount?"

Seems as though the reporters were hungry for some truth. B*sh acted as though he exhausted all measures before attacking. The Iraqi's want to vote - no sh*t and they don't want bushco or Allawi to get in the way.
