Bush drops in at Italian-American dinner

WASHINGTON -
President Bush made a surprise appearance Friday night at a National Italian American Foundation dinner show featuring Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

"I'm sorry I'm not going to be around to hear you," said Bush, who stunned the crowd when he slipped on stage. (Drunk again?)

"We're in a titanic struggle between extremists and radicals who cannot stand the way of life of America," Bush said.

Well, he got the titanic part right.

1. Shows up uninvited to say he can't be there for the show, and slips?

:rofl: Priceless, and I can't wait for the pix!

2. slipping is NOTHING new for shrub. n/t

[frogcycle]

3. While trying to actually make sense of ANYTHING he says

is hopeless, this one really hit me:

"We're in a titanic struggle between extremists and radicals who cannot stand the way of life of America,"

So it is a struggle between a and b, and we're in it.
which are we?
a) Extremists
b) radicals who cannot stand the way of life of America

hmmm... I don't think we're (b), so we must be (a)

but then again, who exactly is "we"?

Perhaps it's neocons. yes, that's it. (a) is neocons, and that is the "we" he refers to, and since the rest of us cannot stand what they are doing to our way of life, then the rest of us are (b)

7. he speaks the truth if you listen carefully

we are neither a nor b, the struggle is between the titans who eat their own young

11. ahhhh... it is all clear to me now

:)

4. Poor chimps... Bush giving 'em a bad reputation... N/T

[talk hard]

5. who knew he was a prophet

[flordehinojos]

6. and why the hell can't he understand other people's way of life?

why must people understand, conform, and live bush's perception of the american life?

he is an oxygen snuffer and people have the right to choose their own way of life...and he,unless he is a ruthless dictator, which he is, has no right to impose his, or his country's way of life on anyone else.

impose, impose, impose. he is all about imposing and taking away freedom of choice.

from taking away the right to choose, to taking away the people's votes, to taking away the quest and zest for life by bombing the hell out of another nation, and/or torturing people whose world view do not conform to his.

8. Seriously-A lot of rich people will make it to the lifeboats, but the ship

is going to go down unless we all work together.

9. "We're in a titanic struggle between extremists and radicals..."

hmmmmm. which side is BUSH on?

[truthisfreedom]

10. the extremists!

or maybe he's just spread-eagled on the floor.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. He got the whole thing right

We're in a titanic struggle between extremists and radicals who cannot stand the way of life of America.

Of course, being Bush, he doesn't get think 100% right. He trips over his words.

The We in the sentence is you and I, the American people; the extremists and radicals who cannot stand the way of life in America is he, Cheney and the neoconservatives.
