Top ten (hey the big 10 isn’t really 10 either) amusing things you hear from Bush in a really important speech:

11. “Our nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.” i.e. allowing homosexuals to get married will force us all to burn in hell.

10. “war on terror” (w/in the first minutes no less)

9. “Inside the United States, where the war began…” hmm…really?

8. “Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, Riyadh, Mombasa…” (if only I could have heard the speech)

7. “shadow of ultimate danger” du-du-duunn (suspense music)

6. “captured or killed”...yes, twice. ye got da yellow-bellied fellers

5. “no one can doubt the word of America” OMG but I think ppl have!! treason!!

4. you know in 8th grade social studies, I got a trivia question wrong when I said our country was “America.” It was technically incorrect…however, that’s all our Pres calls it. go figure.

3. “when I came to this rostrum” rostrum just isn’t a pleasant sounding word…it sounds like Sean Connery saying restroom

2. “we have no desire to dominate”...oh but wait, we DO have a calling: “This great republic will lead the cause of freedom.”

1. “thugs”

On a side note..he mentions that dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment were identified. last I heard, discoveries were zilch. someone wanna fill me in on what exactly was found…I mean was it a pipe bomb or maybe a potato gun or….just potatoes??

I must comment further on #11. Okay, so the way I understand it, he wants to keep marriage a special affair, which means eliminating cheap Vegas chapels and such, which seek to desecrate the holiness of marriage. right? *sarcasm* I hope the rainbow parade showers down their love on him. Wow, it doesn’t even concern me, but I’m speechless. Yeah, President Bush, not everyone desires to be a thoroughbred Texan.

As for Ashley Pearson, all I can say is sad. Somehow I picture some crazed mother dictating to her daughter with the hopes that she’ll get to meet the President, and maybe her little girl will land a spot on star search.

Maybe I’m being too hard on the guy. He has done a pretty decent job, but my thoughts of him were just reinforced by his speech this evening. He appears so close-minded and oblivious to the despair that other countries deal with daily. The hosts (British) of World Idol expressed it best: “Yes, Americans, there are other countries in the world that you’ll have to vote for, even though you have a world series that only involves you.” I’m not looking for a complete hippy in the white house, but I hope to see someone with a little more worldly (hehe I typed worldly first haha) experience. Although, I do admit, I will miss “misunderestimate”.
