Oh, Shit, We Forgot To Turn on the Bush Speech Until the Q&A Started, and Now We’re Confused
Monday, March 20th, 2006
This is like a book tour Q&A. We miss the days when they screened and scripted these things, so we wouldn’t have to hear this guy talk about boxing for 20 minutes.
Onions — WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THEM? Unclear. Immigration policy has something to do with plucking/peeling onions.
Pull quotes:
“Forgering industy.”
“The onion guy out there.”
“Cach and release” — illegal immigrants = fish?
We, uh, are finding him very reasonable about immigration. Immigrants are not to be given amnesty, are still to be allowed to work our shittiest jobs. Makes sense to us.
He’s crackin’ jokes! Most are about how tired he is and how he wants to go home, though, which, uh, can’t really help that whole “Bush is disconnected and his administration is exhausted” idea.
And the grip-and-grin — watch closely. Two to three of the people whose hands he shakes in the next two minutes will end up resigning from something in disgrace, being indicted, or fleeing the country.
A few more general thoughts, after the jump:
