Some highlights from the president's visit here in Rochester yesterday:
Towards the beginning, he wandered into a paranoid rambling about Laura that was like a scene from Raging Bull:
"I'm sorry Laura is not here. Yes, you'd probably rather have her here than me, wouldn't you? Anyway -- (laughter.)
Q We didn't say that.
Well, no, but you thought it. You didn't say it, but I could tell you thought it. You're not the only person here who feels that way, I want you to know. She's doing great. She is on a trip promoting the freedom agenda."
Yeah, sure she is, Jake!
"If you've retired, you don't have anything to worry about -- third time I've said that. (Laughter.) I'll probably say it three more times. See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. (Applause.)"
(speaking to a 70-year old widow): "You look like 100 to me. That's where you're going to be. Thirty more years?"
(speaking to her grandson):
THE PRESIDENT: What's your major?
MR. BROWN: I'm dual-majoring in business marketing and business management.
THE PRESIDENT: Great. All A's?
MR. BROWN: Hopefully. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, don't worry about it. That won't disqualify you from being President. (Applause.)
This was cute, too:
THE PRESIDENT: You know what's interesting -- I say this a lot when I travel around the country -- is that a lot of young people think it's more likely they'll see a UFO than a Social Security check. (Laughter.) What do you think, Jeremy?
MR. BROWN: I don't know. I'd rather see Social Security change. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: I didn't ask your preference. (Laughter.)
So, in summary: My wife's a whore, I'm catapulting propoganda, this lady looks really fuckin' old, you can be stupid and they'll still let you president, and If I say you'll get a UFO instead of a check then you're getting a UFO, punk. Goodnight and somethin' about God.
(if you're a real glutton for punsihment you can read the whole shebang here)

Sheep.
Also, for some reason, the phrase "freedom agenda" just sounds terribly, terribly evil. Like we're forcing it on people. Oh, wait -- we are.
Posted by: czeltic girl at 25.05.05 14:32There is that old saying, "A students teach B students, who work for C students." I guess we just need to extend it to "...who are unfortunate enough to live in a country governed by a student who got D's instead of F's only because of how much money his daddy gave to the school."
