For those watching the Bush speech: Was I Right?

[Plaid Adder]

Today's column is a 'response' to that speech, but of course he hadn't given it yet, so I had to imagine what it would be like...

"I unfortunately can't see into the future to know what he'll say, but if the past is a predictor, it won't be earth-shattering. A friend of mine used to work for a fashion designer and took me once to see a preview of their spring line. The designer got up at the beginning and explained about how they were totally revolutionizing everything this year and it was a radical departure from everything that had gone before. After the show I said to my friend, "That stuff about this being a radical change was all bullshit, right?" She said, 'Totally. Same clothing body as last year with different fabrics.' And that's what a "major speech" from the Bush team is like: the same policies you've already seen all over the place coming at you down the runway, only now with a slightly shorter hem and some sequins."

Was I right?

C ya,

1. It's just a J.O. party with his silly supporters. nuthin new.

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. Worse than that. It was a Republican Campaign ad paid by us.

Bush and his speech writers approved the ad.

[nodictators]

12. Those of us who have CUT the cable paid nothing for Bush's ad

Screw the Cable companies for their crap bias.

[ezee]

4. J. O. Speech is so right on! n/t

[Plaid Adder]

9. What's a J. O. party? n/t

[speedoo]

3. It's just another pep rally.

They managed to convince the cable networks that it was a major speech. It's not, it's just a slightly more formal stump speech.

6. Yes, and what other pathetic person would HAVE to do

such a thing? This is soooooooooo sickening. I was forewarned by a radio host late last night that dimson would be pulling this shit.

Unbelievable! :puke:

[dogtag]

5. In a rational world, the duped TV folks would be

upset that they got 'punked' into carrying this stump speech. Since they can't un-air it, the least they can do is air Kerry's entire campaign speech today. Is that going to happen?

[Lugnut]

7. Different day....

Same old shit.

[Sparkly]

8. The lies are getting more outrageous, the distortions bolder, the insults

meaner, and he's insulting other people including Clinton ("their healthcare plan is on the track to Clintoncare"), Massachussetts, Ted Kennedy, lawyers, and of course, the rest of the world to whom he thinks we owe no respect, but violence supposedly garners their respect for us...

Grrrrrr..... :mad:

[soothsayer]

10. Nuthin' but desperation! Lovely to see 'em running scared. n/t

[Deb]

11. Oh yes, you were right

Three minutes into the speech I thought of your article. Nice job!

Both front page articles this morning have been copied and emailed.

I often do that for people who get emails but no DU at work.
