When I became president in January of '93 there were only fifty sites on the worldwide web. When I left office there were 350 million.

At first I thot this was another whopper, then I realized that he was talking about himself.

Here's how it should read:When I became president in January of '93 there were only fifty sites on the worldwide web about me. When I left office there were 350 million.

That may be the only thing truthful in the whole speech!!

Anyone see anything else truthful?

I saw HUme's show last night, and I thought Mara and Ceci were struck dumb with the absolute crassness of this speech. They retreated into "not really understanding what he was trying to say." Ha!

They understood quite well...they just couldn't bear to admit it! Fred did a masterful job of skewering this speech, and Brit kept reading excerpts over and over, tormenting the liberals with their poster boy's evil words. Cheered me immensely!

In my lifetime Martin Luther King was killed just before, a couple of months before I graduated from Georgetown, trying to preach this message.( April 4, 1968)

Bobby Kennedy killed two days before our college graduation, trying to preach this message. (June 5, 1968)

The greatest spirit of the age, Ghandi, killed not by a mad Muslim but by a Hindu who thought he was a traitor because he thought India could be a home for the Muslims and the Sikhs and the Jains and everybody.

Sadat killed not by an Israeli commando, but by the predecessor of the number two guy in Al Quaeda twenty years ago, angry at him, not a good Egyptian because he was not a faithful Muslim believing as he did in secular government and peace with Israel.

And my great friend, Yitzhak Rabin killed not by a Palestinian terrorist but by an Israeli who thought he was not a good Jew or a patriotic Israeli because he wanted peace and a homeland for the Palestinians as the surest means of security for the Israelis.

This is not easy to do, but I'm telling you, no terrorist campaign has ever succeeded, and this one won't if you don't give it permission. You can have the most exciting time in human history, but we have to defeat people who think they can find their redemption in our destruction.

Then we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don't claim for ourselves things that we deny for others. Then in the end, we've got to be able to stand up and say, we are not against Islam, but we want to have a clear understanding about what we think is the nature of truth, the value of life, and the content of community. If we do that, you will still live in the best time the world has ever known.

It's weird all of the I/our we/you/your transitions... A suicide note or drunk incoherency? King's last speech was similarly strangely prophetic in hind sight...will this one be too?

Anyone else think so? It isn't outside of his psychological profile.

Howlin - thank you thank you thank you. Your work on seeing to it that this speech and the x42's pro-terrorist remarks do not get a free pass.

I started to watch the video but a wave of nausea overtook me and I had to cut it off.

You and others talk about his slurred speech. Could you elaborate? And many say he was either drunk or on drugs during this speech. Could somebody please elaborate on that?

The speech itself is so bizarre and outrageous = it would be torn to shreds if a Republican made this speech - by the media whores.

They must not be allowed to slide by on this. It is THEIR FORMER PRESIDENT SPEAKING! For God's sake, this man had control of our country's national security for eight years.....can they not see what damage he has done?

Remember how they said after Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimers, that he must have had it during his Presidential years????? And they talked about him sleeping at cabinet meetings???

And here we have x42 SPEAKING AS IF HE WORKED FOR THE TALIEBAN!!!!!! AND THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM A FREE RIDE???

I don't think so!

Remarkable!!

Even when you know that Xlinton is a narcissist and Bush is a LEADER, seeing those contrasting numbers referring to self in your two posts absolutely blows me away! (especially since I can't stomach even <>looking at the debauched one, so I didn't see his speech).

PRAISE GOD FOR THIS PRESIDENT!!!
There is truly an angel in the whirlwind directing this storm!!

Word Counts:

"I" = 95

"Me" = 10

"My" = 15

He thinks it's all still about him. What a loser!

I disagree. Sherman and dishonest abe were a pair of the most vile creatures on earth to do what they did.
