1. How long would be enough?
1 minute of watching him speak is about 59 seconds too long as far as I'm concerned.

5. My B/F has lightening fast reflexes...
Edited on Mon Apr-16-07 03:12 PM by Juniperx
When he simultaneously hears the first word uttered by Bush or sees the first glimpse, and reaching for the remote!

He had to leave the room when I watched Cheney yesterday morning... he went into the office and read DU... and yelled in at me after every Cheney lie... ha! I heard more from the B/F than I did from Cheney! :)

23. ROFL! Your BF sounds like me! My dear dog was unused
to yelling, so that was another major reason why I immediately switch channels or just shut it off. I didn't want to scare my beloved pet who would literally hide under the bed when I yelled at B* et al.

3. It's not the lack of time...
It's the lack of saying something meaningful.

6. You're right
You could say something meaningful in a minute, but I expected at least five minutes of hearfelt sincere regret for such a tragedy. I got none of that.

8. Naw, you didn't expect it, really?
You wanted it, you should have been able to assume the president would do something like that, you needed to hear it (we all did, especially the families of ALL the students there) but what you got is what we always get from W. Short changed.

11. You are right.
I wanted so much more. Was I surprised I was underwhelmed? No.

13. We all want more from that idiot...
We sure do.

I think his handlers are becoming too jaded... they can't even get a drop of sincerity out of Dimson anymore.

9. I bet he rehearsed his "caring president" look for five minutes...
Before getting in front of the camera. All of BushCo need to rehearse the lies. If they were telling the truth, they wouldn't have to practice.

14. Last night, I wrote a 7 page paper in that time
And that would take up at least fifteen minutes. Doesnt he have people work for him whose soul job is to write what he says? THat is the best they could come up with?

16. he's been limited to only sound bites no longer than a minute now...
anything longer, he gives the impression of being colossally stupid, this way he only looks merely stupid.

21. I didn't see it
a) because I was in class, and
b) because I don't want to hear anything he has to say, unless of course he's announcing his (and Cheney's) resignation. x( From the sound of things, though, I'm not at all sorry I missed it.
