04/13/2004 Entry: "Bush speaks!"
Bush speaks! Oh man, this is just hilarious. He's claming the "enemy" (whoever that is this week. Saddam? AlSadr? BinLaden?) is for these things: extreme ideologies, for theocracy, taking away civil rights of women, etc. Err, thats EXACTLY what this administration has been doing here. Its like 1984 come to life, except when its real its fucking scary.
What a terrible performance. He can't even come up with a decent excuse on why his master Cheney must be with him when they confront the 9/11 commission. He's messing up all his lines, all his talking points, - everything. I'm certain this half-hour just cost him a few million votes. Keep it up Bush.
I swear he's drunk. He's failing to make sense on so many levels and he's answering his own questions. This is his "Nixon/Kennedy debate" except he's just debating himself.
I thought he was going to completely break-down on the second to last question. Just raving and ranting for five minutes. Its embarassing for our country. And they called Howard Dean crazy. Man, I just looked into the eyes of a full-blown lunatic. Bush almost randomly yelling, "FREEDOM IS A GIFT FROM THE ALMIGHTY" as he shakes and looks lost and confused will forever be burned into my brain.

This may have been one of the most surreal things I have ever seen.
"Who will you be handing power over to?"
Bush: We're finding that out!
Autonomy can't just be handed out, a certain critical mass of people have to consider a government to be valid. No one in Iraq respects the IGC or Chalabi.

Favourite part:
Q) Mr. President, why are you and the Vice President insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission? And, Mr. President, who will you be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?
THE PRESIDENT: We will find that out soon. That's what Mr. Brahimi is doing; he's figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing sovereignty over. And, secondly, because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.
Q) I was asking why you're appearing together, rather than separately, which was their request.
THE PRESIDENT: Because it's a good chance for both of us to answer questions that the 9/11 Commission is looking forward to asking us, and I'm looking forward to answering them.
Let's see --
Q) Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: Hold on for a minute. Oh, Jim.
Q) Thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: I've got some "must calls," I'm sorry.

George W. Bush is trying to buy your vote by doing what is right. We must not let him get away with it!
