Whoo! What's he on?
Slurring terribly. Terribly thick tongue. Wonder if he threw a bender last night?

He's looking OOOOLD, too.

5. Dysarthria
meaning slurred speech, is one of the hallmarks of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a neurological syndrome that affects heavy drinkers for years after they quit drinking.

His seems to be getting worse, so I fear he's still binging on the quiet.

You can't drink as heavily as he did for as long as he did without doing some serious damage to your body systems, and it's going to show.

8. All of that feel-good teetotaler stuff was just a bullshit trick...
pulled on the Christian masses for election purposes.

I don't think he ever quit at all.

But this is the worst I've seen from him. Look at his eyelids.

17. My ten year old just mentioned the eye thing
She said what's wrong with his eyes?

I didn't pick up on it because he always looks like the same butt ugly fool to me but the first thing out of the daughter's mouth was what's wrong with his eyes!

Tell Carni jr. that she's very observant. :D

6. more of GD as running commentary on media broadcast I presume
These posts typically assume that everyone on the board is also watching the same thing.

about what I speak (or type, as the case may be).

31. It would be considerate for the op's to do that.
I have no problem with "live thread on..." type subjects, but it would be nice if they had subject lines ID'd as such. That would also help prevent multiple threads on the same broadcast that fragment the conversation while pushing down other posts.

49. Because your thread had a compelling title (Whoo! What's he on?")..
I clicked in to see what y'all were referring to. The subject line sounded interesting.

"You had to guess who I was talking about? Wow."
Of course i figured you were referring to Murderboy. That's why I looked at your thread.

It was a bummer to find no information as to where I might tune in to seee what was being discussed
thus I could not "participate in this thread" even though I did "want to".

honestly, the whining about the vague threads is so much more annoying than the threads themselves.

11. Yes, slurred babbling.
Thick-tongued, heavy eyelidded babbling. Like some burned-out rock star who can't understand why people no longer buy his singles.

12. Many years ago
someone who used to be Elvis came to the Broome County Arena, in Binghamton, NY. He came on stage, did what he believed was a karate routine, a tad bit of extended self-humiliation, then wabbled off stage. This is an updated version of that show, though the sideburns are missing.

24. Two differences:
{1} Elvis used to be a great rock-n-roller.

{2} Reagan was aware that he was playing a role in his presidency.

This guy is a clown.

21. what i find funny is
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 10:42 AM by iamthebandfanman
the fact that iranian people will probably get shown that part of the speech.

how is propaganda effective if the people you are trying to sway KNOW youre throwing propaganda at them.
thats kinda self defeating isnt it ?
I mean, propaganda is only effective if its not seen as such, correct?

Disclaimer: I'm on my regular Friday morning TV/News blackout and not watching.

One of these days, Dubya's going to mess up and that line and reverse the there/here.

32. Wasn't last night a fundraiser somewheres?
And I believe he's got one in Ohio tonight.

They'll have him all 'straightened out' with shots of amphetamines and maybe a cap of Valium to keep him from chattering too much and drugs for the shakes, and drugs for the nausea, and drugs for the alcohol jones, and drugs for...

Yet don't forget, we're still waging a War On Drugs!
Marijuana is BAD!
Freedom is GOOD!
We're a Free People, but not Free enough to decide whether to get drunk or have a toke!
Not that pot ever killed one single person. Ever!

Marijuana must hate our freedoms!


(BTW, I don't smoke anymore - haven't since my teens, but these laws are still ridiculous!)

42. Just teasing
actually I downloaded the little booger and put him on my wallpaper. He is there times about 25 and he smiles constantly. The kids (I teach) went nuts.

I'm feeling kind of silly today. I tend to do that when things get very weird.
