WTF Is It Now?!?

WHEN CHIMPS SPEECHIFY
I watched part of Bush's TV appearance last night, and almost drove my martini olive-spearer into my eyes. It probably would've not only been less painful, but it would've made more sense.

Where the fook is the proof, idiotboy????????

Some takes on the podiumpap, culled from news sources today before I was forced to get the hey off the internet and get back to work:

"I thought the speech was more of a tactic to instill fear than any reasonable or logical process," said Jose Perez, 27, a member of an unofficial campus group, Students Against War. He also called Bush's comments 'coercive'.

"There have been so many contradictory things coming from the administration, such as whether or not there is a clear and present danger, that until the information gets sorted out, we really should not go after this war," said Ed Templeton, a paralegal. "I'd like to see a smoking gun before we send our own bullets."

Echoed office clerk Takako Mizushima: "I don't support it. The Iraqis said they're going to let the inspectors in. Bush hasn't shown us the proof." - from the LA Times.

"To listen to Mr Bush in his daily diatribes on the stump, you would have no inkling that the stock market is at a five-year low, that the US economy is teetering on the edge of a double-dip recession, and that half of Americans worry that someone in their family will be out of a job within a year." - via SmirkingChimp.com.

"'We refuse to live in fear,' President Bush said in his speech Monday night in Cincinnati, referring to the American people. And of course he is right, but there are fears, and then there are fears, and the top one on most Americans' list today is not Iraq, the focus of the president's remarks, but the safety of their jobs, of their pensions, of their health care. On those subjects, their president has been missing in action for many months now, and the people do not know quite why." - from a Minneapolis Star-Tribune Editorial. 'Cause he's a dumbass? Because it's easier to start a war in order to get reelected than it is to fix our domestic problems?

"Saddam may be as crazy as George W, but he isn't near as stupid," said Rufus T. Firefly, a political science major. "There's no way he'd use WMDs against this country, but he may just use them in his own if our servicemen and women are close to capturing his ass."
