Gonna See Dubya This Weekend Buddies!

[Blaze]

Looks like I get to see the most favorite person to talk about on this site next weekend. He's speaking at my sister's commencement at OSU. I think they managed this helluva score due to his approval ratings.

Say hi to one hell of a man!

Will do! Wonder if Wordman has anything he wants me to tell him.

great find, toddy

[Wordman]

Will do! Wonder if Wordman has anything he wants me to tell him.

Would you thank him for me?

With DeLay, Abramoff, Iraq, skyrocketing energy costs, the failure during Katrina, failure to secure the borders, Enron...Heck, EVERYTHING...happening on his watch...

He has done more for my cause than I could've ever hoped for.

Love ya W...

Still the best president we've had since Clinton...

No, Stephen Colbert pretty much spoke for me at the White House Correspondent's Dinner this weekend, but thanks for asking!

The little bully really got his ass handed to him - Colbert has titanium cohones. From 12 feet away, looked Bush in the eyes and and unloaded a mighty can of truth-whoop ass. And on the media as well. Here's the linkage:

That was the best roast I have ever seen.

"The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change; this man's beliefs never will. As excited as I am to be here with the president, I am appalled to be surrounded by the liberal media that is destroying America, with the exception of Fox News. Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side."

Yeah, well that too. He managed to donate millions to build OSU's stadium and write it off as a Katrina donation.

I think a good gift for Bush would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's gonna be so busy, I'm probably gonna have to run up to him and hand it to him.

Blaise - Colbert was like a Court Jester who shows up and tells the king exactly what's wrong with him, and gets out of the building before they can behead him. I thought his "roasting" of the media's cowering and cheerleading was dead on:

"But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The President makes decisions, he's the decider. The Press Secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home.

Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know, fiction.

Because really, what incentive do these people have to answer your questions, after all? I mean, nothing satisfies you. Everybody asks for personnel changes. So the White House has personnel changes. Then you write they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."

Colbert was way off his normal funny self on that stuff. I thought he bombed. And I normally laugh at all his Bush jokes. It was more like boring Angry Left jokes we've all heard before. But I liked this bit:

"Mayor Nagin! Mayor [Ray] Nagin is here from New Orleans, the chocolate city! Yeah, give it up. Mayor Nagin, I'd like to welcome you to Washington, D.C., the chocolate city with a marshmallow center."

Has Bush killed Colbert yet? 'Cause that's what Bu$Hitler does ya know.

[acoustic_kisses]

Shiftless - to my eyes he was doing the same exact thing he does every night on his show. He's not subtle, and he's fearless. The frozen silence in the room? The dazed, pained look on the president's face? The awkward rustling of millionaire media personalities being called to account? THAT WAS THE FUNNY PART.

My husband and I were in hysterics. The audience's obvious discomfiture was the best part. And the comedy bit at the end, it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I was surprised he didn't work bears into the bit.

Silly Shiftless human, that's Cheney's job.

Well all in all, I wish I'd stayed in bed. It's not that I'm some asshole that would blow off a chance to see the president even if I disagree with a lot of his stuff, it's that I was that I was about a couple nautical miles away and couldn't even see the little bugger. Plys the sound system sucked and you couldn't even really hear the guy. I can't believe they used such a shoddy sound system for him. They've had louder speakers at their football games. It was weird to see people in caps and gowns being patted down and going through metal detectors. I heard that there was a few secret service guys disguised in caps and gowns.

Here's the cap and gown my sister sported:
