Fun Republican betting game

If Vegas hasn't created a game where you can bet the over/under on how long it takes a Republican making a speech to mention September 11, they should. President Bush made it about three minutes last night. You could have a lot of fun setting a time period and then firing up the stopwatch! Or maybe that's just because I'm a big geek.

What was the point of that speech, anyway? Congress already granted him dictatorial powers to deploy troops, so sending more to Iraq didn't require a speech. He wasn't asking for permission to do it. It sounded a lot like the same old plan regarding Iraq, so why did he have to go on? I think we should all see less of our politicians, not more, so just stay off the television, Mr. Bush, and continue sending 20-year-olds to be killed. Why you want all those 20-year-olds to die is something you and God can discuss.
