In the MTP clips, is Bush reading from a cue board?
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 08:26 PM by grasswire
He keeps looking down and to his left as he talks, as if he's reading from a cue board. This is what actors do when they don't memorize their lines. They look down at a cue board.

Watch for this.

1. I haven't seen it, but I wouldn't at all be surprised.
Bush is absolutely terrible at concealing the fact he is reading rather than speaking off the cuff.

2. Maybe he's just trying to think of something to say...
Other than "I am a complete fuckup", I mean.

4. It wouldn't surprise me one bit
The Daily Show had a snippet of his "interview" during the Super Bowl pre-game show and he was obviously using either a teleprompter or cue cards. I could see him reading his answers.

What kind of man can't speak off the cuff in a simple interview like that?

5. I think he has an earpiece...


There is always a long pause between his answers as if he is just repeating what someone is saying into his earpiece...

6. did you see david letterman
last night - Bush stuttering over his words, followed up by porky pig (I think) stuttering over his words. It was a crack up.
