“Let Me Finish”

Getting the answer to this is probably less likely than Ponce De Leon finding the Fountain of Youth, but I’ll ask anyway:

Why on earth did Bush say “Let me finish” while answering a question during last week’s debate?

He was the only one speaking, and he still had 30 seconds remaining according to the light on the podium.

The answer needn’t be ominous, he could have been preparing for his post-Presidential career acting in movies similar to Saving Silverman, Roxanne, Real Genius or even True Lies just like his hero Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What do all of these movies have in common? Hidden earpieces are used to help idiots navigate difficult situations.

And what could be more difficult than defending a sham coalition in shambles? Like when the President jumped in because John Kerry failed to mention Poland when speaking of the “Coalition of the Willing Bribed.” “Well, actually, he forgot Poland,” said the President.

What on earth was Kerry thinking? Does he want to lose the Polish vote? (Insert your own Pollock joke about finding the polling places.) Or maybe he read what the Alexander Kwasniewski, President of Poland had to say about his country’s participation in the Coalition:

“They deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that’s true. We were taken for a ride.”

    You guys got anymore on that earpiece story than what I saw over at Oliver Willis?

    Not much to it because no one wants to ask or answer the question.

    If he had an earpiece, the person on the other end was just as poorly prepared, so I’m going to say that it probably didn’t go down like that.

    Scary.

    I am seeing a lot of theorizing that it is actually the larval stage of some kind of Cronenburgesque growth.

    Which also has the same level of possibility.

    Seriously.

    Who can tell what Cheney is going to morph into in his debate if Edwards gets him mad enough.

    Funny thing, but the quotation you mention comes from France’s AFP. Polish President was talking about Saddam’s deception, not GWB’s. But our dear French friends spread the news worldwide anyway. Bad news is always good news.
