I love how some of the folks in the media say he bombed because he wasn't funny. Really? If he was so unfunny, then why is that video clip spreading like wildfire on the internet? Perhaps he "bombed" because all the politicians in the crowd have a pole shoved so far up their rear that they can't possibly laugh at anything let alone themselves.

I don't want to write out the entire bit, but here are some choice quotes from his speech:

I give people the truth unfiltered by factual argument. I call it the No Fact Zone. Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term.


The government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.


reality has a well known liberal bias


I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, like aircraft carriers, rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong mesasge that no matter what happens to America she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world!


The greatest thing about this President is you know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday!


Fox News gives you both sides of every story, the President's side and the Vice President's side.


Write that novel you've 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!


[Jesse Jackson] is a very challenging interview... It's like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor by the way because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is.


Mayor Nagin is here from New Orleans, the Chocolate City... Mayor Nagin, I'd like to welcome you to Washington D.C., the Chocolate City with a marshmallow center... and a graham cracker crust of corruption.

I watched part of that when it was on C-Span the other week...pretty funny stuff....

[BronXBombers51]

Saw it in English class today. Great stuff. Bush's confused expressions are priceless.

Out of curiousity, why? It's a great video, sure, but why would you watch it in English class? Maybe it makes sense in History class -

Now that I think about it, were you discussing the role that court jesters played in midieval kingdoms?

[Webster11]

That was hilarious . Well worth the time it took to watch it
