President Bush "Speaks" at the American Legion Convention

This from President Bush while speaking at the American Legion Convention live right now on CNN:

I found it very interesting how the executive director describes the programs. He says, "
These programs, he said, the programs don't. The programs quote. The programs quote, heh, don't emphasize--he has a little trouble with the English. And so do I. Describes this as an initiative that "does not emphasis classroom and textbook learning." (nods head) My kind of program.

GOI: Laughter ensues. I guess people think, "He's funny because he's as dumb witted as I am." What is this?? The Blue Collar Comedy Tour??? I guess I'm asking too much but I don't want President "Larry the Cable Guy."

Durhhhhh!!!!! I president, you no president. I make no good English and play war and stuff. 9/11 n stuff. God, uh bless Amuraka.

He can't even get "the English" (as he calls it) right even when he's reading from a script!! "The English??" Is that what he says to people abroad when they ask what we speak here? "Yeah, we speak 'the English.'"

The only way I think we should establish English as the official language of the United States is if we start with our President. I bet that there are immigrants out there who speak better English then President C-

He's now claiming that it's too early to judge whether or not the surge is working but then goes on to say how the surge is already succeeding. Huh? Meanwhile, some 90 Iraqi pilgrims heading south were killed in Baghdad. Ask them how that "surge" is working out. In addition, nine U.S. soldiers were killed yesterday. The deadliest single day for U.S. troops in Iraq in nearly a month.

As a member of the American Legion, it just shames me that we as an organization just don't shake our heads when our own President can't speak normally. Nothing like letting the court jester rule the palace.

Is he on the sauce again? I've heard the rumors for years, but really didn't believe them--everybody has off days, and if I had a camera on me 24 hours, I'm sure there would be excerpts that could be used to make me look drunk when I wasn't. However, this speech is really making me start to wonder. If he is drinking, it's gotta be pretty common knowledge, right? What's the scoop? Anybody know?

OK, that one made the tea fly out of my nostrils. Hilarious, and at the same time so sadly true.

Nice post, James.

Yeah that would be frustrating. It's amazing how many people just blindly follow.

JoeC:

He's either on the sauce or oxycontin. That or major doses of Xanax. I have heard that rumor though that he's boozin' again. Hell, maybe he's back on the blow!!

PT:

Ha!! Thanks. Happy to give you a laugh. Sorry about the tea through the nose thing though. :)
