OK DUers let's calm down and predict Bushco's diversion

[malaise]

for tomorrow. We all know Bushco won't let the economy hog the airwaves so what will Bushco give us for diversion tomorrow so that M$M can play along.

CNBCC is way too depressing for me.

[Muttocracy]

1. dancing! just like he danced his way through Africa and D.C.! nt

[malaise]

15. No one will watch that crap

He can't dance

[Muttocracy]

22. but see, you know that 'cause you watched...

;)

just kidding. Though America does love to watch people embarrass themselves.

[malaise]

35. Good point

:D

[JohnnyLib2]

2. Iran

or pushing C. Rice for VP. That would get all the press.

[malaise]

11. Iran will make things decidedly worse for Bushco

Maybe someone will attempt to attack McSameasBush, Lieberman and Graham in Iraq...or have they left as quickly as they arrived?
That would be great diversion.

[Elidor]

Well, gee, what's dubya's greatest hit?

Terror! Terror! Terror!

Which Number Two man in Al Qaeda will they capture and kill tomorrow? (only it will have happened last year.)

[malaise]

10. LOL

Now we're talking. Maybe they'll find the already dead Bin laden in that house they bombed in Pakistan.

[ben_meyers]

3. How about he pulls an FDR

and triggers a larger war. That helped get us out of the last depression.

[malaise]

12. This time it would double the price of oil

Don't think so.

[ben_meyers]

28. Maybe short term

But how was that handled during WW2? I think I still have some of my grandparents old ration coupons around somewhere. And have you ever seen a 1943 or 1944 Ford or Chevy automobile?

[malaise]

31. True but this crisis is immediate

Rations will lead to a raid on banks

[ben_meyers]

36. FDR's first act as President was to

declare a national "bank holiday" closing all the banks. Think it can't happen again.

[bushmeister0]

Back then we were a creditor nation

FDR had the money to pump zillions into the economy. Now, we'd have to ask the Chinese for the money and they seem a little busy with the whole Tibet-massive-uprising-thing going on.

[ben_meyers]

34. Not quite that simple.

In 1941, the national debt of the United States was about $50 billion. At the end of the war, in 1945, the debt rose to almost $260 billion. I don't know how that translates into todays dollars, but we were still paying it off during Carters administration.

[bushmeister0]

38. Well, in any case, they're not going to find anyone willing to

underwrite another war for W.

[ben_meyers]

42. War Bonds baby!!! Payroll deduction.

I might even still have one of those around.

[malaise]

44. He wouldn't dare that now

It would make things worse

[bushmeister0]

45. OK, this IS W. we're talking about now.

[malaise]

48. True

With W all things are possible except success at anything. :D

[bushmeister0]

46. Payroll reduction; I like it.

Or the Volkswagen scam Hitler came up with, where workers pre-bought their new VW's but never got them because the NAZIs used the money to re-arm.

Pre-buy a new hybrid for the good of the country and the environment! I LIKE it, it might just work.

[MikeNearMcChord]

4. They haven't ordered Tehran to be bombed?

Or they may come out who were clients 1-8, in that sex scandal, or they can debate who got screwed in today's selection process, for March madness. Then there is American Idol.

[malaise]

40. It would take a very high profile client

for interest to be generated again. American Idol isn't big enough these days.

[Theres-a]

5. Seriously

He really needs a runaway bride or something. Maybe Britney will resurface.

[malaise]

I'm dead serious

Something exciting will come up. Bushco cannot have this mess on cable 24/7 tomorrow.

[Theres-a]

26. I agree completely

If they have to literally pull something out of their....hat they will.We mustn't talk about these things. Everything is fine. Move along nothing to see here.

[HuffleClaw]

6. there's that senator's aide sex thing ?

but i'm sure they'll unearth some horrible terror threat

[malaise]

16. What's that about

Seems promising :D

[HuffleClaw]

47. link

[malaise]

49. WTF!!

M$M will love that one.

[bushmeister0]

7. A nice little war in South America might be just the thing.

If we get into a shooting war with Venezuala right now that would not only divert everyone's attention and but it would "secure" a third of our oil supplies -- just in case things don't go according to plan in Iran. (Not that anything is going to go wrong, of course.)

[malaise]

14. That won't work

Venezuela and Colombia had a rock concert on the border today. :rofl:

[OmahaBlueDog]

8. McCain is in Iraq...

... a shell or rocket will go off within a mile of him

...the media will go on about the "near death experience"

.. Bush will go on a "See-I-toldyaso" rampage about the terror, the threat, the funding, and the immunity

... Hannity & Billo & Rush & Savage & Boortz will go on and on about Obama's religon and how we can't cut & run in Iraq

[bushmeister0]

13. Or a shell or a rocket will go off near Cheney

he does seem to be a bomb magnet whenever he goes overseas. Maybe he should stop flyig around in "the spirit of Strom Thurman."

[malaise]

18. Or he could just have a heart attack

or need to have the battery charged.
That would be 24 hour news. He could shoot his wife. :rofl:

Sp.

[malaise]

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I just raised a similar

scenario above. Very promising. :rofl:

[beezlebum]

9. newest celebrity X

will be caught tapping her foot in a bathroom stall, after news breaks that britney spears and mel gibson secretly wed overnight, and paris' new best friend is osama bin laden's fifth cousin's neice's nephew's best friend's/lover's aunt's step-daughter's cat's groomer, who, incidentally, happened to appear on american idol as one of the "bad" singers who made the cut by default but was kicked off before airing b/c of her involvment in paris' sex tape distribution.

[malaise]

21. Excellent

There's a high paying job waiting for you at M$M as a producer. :rofl:

[spag68]

24. How about

Spitzer and wife shacking up with McGreevy and wife in the cloakroom of the governors mansion? Or some democrat is responsible for the crane falling. He's terrorist and we have it on tape from his i-pod.

[malaise]

32. Does Craig fly out of the bathroom

in the mansion? :rofl:

Another crane might fall...that would be deadly. Any tornadoes coming?

[Ishoutandscream2]

19. Really, Dubya's run out of diversions

Any surprise will now be so transparent, even for our rather dumbed down American populace. His shit won't float anymore.

[malaise]

25. Like he cares

Russert will help him out if required. He spins better than a gig. THen he could bring on Tweety, Buchanan, Fugger, Andrea, and don't forget Col. Jack Jacobs.


M$m is always willing to play along...anything but this economic runaway train of disaster.

[bushmeister0]

20. Oh, here we go Halle Berry has given birth to a baby girl, a rep for the actress has confirmed to P

http://omg.yahoo.com/halle-berry-gives-birth-to-baby-girl/news/7508

[malaise]

27. Well that's one slot taken

Every fifteen minutes for 24 hours. That won't be enough. What will Bushco do?

[bushmeister0]

37. Alien invasion?

You know that guy Gerry McKinnon, the one who hacked into the pentagon's computers to find pix of UFO's, the one they're moving heaven and earth to extridite to the US from the UK?

Well, he said in the super secret Pentagon files he hacked he found "a list of officers' names, under the heading Non-Terrestrial Officers". And he found "fleet-to-fleet transfers", and a list of ship names.

John Ronson who interviewed him says, "I looked them up, too. They weren't US navy ships. What I saw made me believe that they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet."

http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jon_ronson/2006/07/why_does_no_one_care_much_abou.html

How about that? An alien invasion by our own spaceships!

[malaise]

39. I assume Bush's alien daddy will soon be coming home

on the spaceship. Tomorrow would be a really good day :rofl:

Gerry needs a psychiatric hospital not extradition.

[bushmeister0]

41. OMG, Bush's daddy? Better watch out for falling debris

[malaise]

43. LOL

:D

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. Another terrorist will be pull out the CIA prison in Diego Garcia

There will be a plot uncovered somewhere.

Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears have a threesome
with Gov. Spitzer.

The media will be fixed on what some preacher says somewhere.

The market will be regulated and the brakes will be put on.

The Feds will loan more money to the banks.

The feds will lower the prime another quarter.

Bushco eats a pretzel.

[malaise]

30. Hahahahahahahha

That threesome's a winner.:rodl:

[tomreedtoon]

29. It's time one of Bush's team "took one." I predict Rice.

She is the least desireable member of the team in Bush's view, based on race alone. And she has also been an embarassment to the rest of the team, and hasn't really contributed anything vital to the administration's machinations. I would not be surprised if she was suddenly injured, or even killed, in a "mysterious" car bombing when she's picked up at her favorite shoe store.

For those that think it would be inconcievable for Bush to maim or kill one of the members of his administration, think back to Nixon's Watergate behavior; he threw advisors to the wolves "for the good of the team." Also, when I say "Bush" I mean Cheney, the only one ruthless enough and smart enough to pull off such a stunt.

[malaise]

33. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

picked up at her favorite shoe store. Well since she likes Manhattan, a crane could hit an expensive Italian shoestore. Now that would be diversion :D

[McCamy Taylor]

50. I think there won't be one. Could this be a "manufactured" crisis to justify a federal bailout of

some Bush friends and donors with federal funds? That is what I am wondering. It happened awfully fast.

[Muttocracy]

52. now that's an interesting question

And there are only 8 more months to cash in unless McCain is elected.

:tinfoilhat:

[malaise]

56. Very good question

and they sure managed to remove Spitzer before they did this (despite help from him).

[Amonester]

51. KKKarl Rove will be back in the WH.

Not that he ever truly left...

[lpbk2713]

53. Boy Scout of the Year award presented in the Rose Garden.

Followed by an apple pie judging contest in the Rotunda.

[malaise]

57. Did he ever leave? n/t

[Tektonik]

54. New steroids scandal

[lonestarnot]

55. kick

[malaise]

58. WTF - we all got it wrong

Don't know Bushco's plan yet but Heather Mills divorce settlement will give M$M some meaningless diversion. :rofl:
