FR Contest: How many times will Bill Clinton use the word "I" in his speech Wednesday night???

one man's opinion...

[ken5050]

OK, Freepers...the Dem circus, er..convention is almost upon us, so let's see who is the best political prognosticator on FR. Bubba will address the convention Wednesday evening, and the contest is really quite simple. Guess the number of times in his speech ( without going over the actual number ) that Slick uses the word "I"

[ken5050]

BTW..Clinton preceeds Obama's VP pick ( an almost anti-climatic spot for that poor, as yet unnamed, individual ) but what happens if Bubba just keeps talking, doesn't shut up..say..runs 30-60 minutes over his alloted time..just keeps on talking and talking, and talking?

[ken5050]

38 times

158 times

I’d suggest doing it as a drinking game, but that would be suicidal.

[TornadoAlley3]

26 times and he will point that index finger 14 times.

[scory]

I’ll say 50 times, Drew.

[atc23]

77 times

I’d suggest doing it as a drinking game, but that would be

*snort*

I guess 53.

When he “stutters” it three or four times at the beginning of a sentence does each one count? If so, I say 176.

If multiple-stuttered “I”s only count as ONE occurrence, then 89.

Being in Reno, I can tell you that the over/under at Harrah’s Sportsbook is 121.5.

I’m betting the over...

[LtKerst]

I suggest that they make him stand in front of a see-thru podium.
and weld his zipper shut.

[chaos_5]

That depends on what the meaning of “I” is..

47

Question 2: How many people will WATCH his speech Wednesday night?

[Miss Didi]

Ooh, is this like guess how many jelly beans are in the jar? I’ll say—127. ;)

[Charles Henrickson]

We should make it a drinking game. Every time Bubba says "I," "me," or "my," take a swig. Since we'll all be consuming copious amounts of popcorn, which will absorb the alcohol, it should not be a problem.

I want them to do that long tracking shot of Bubba coming through the tunnel like they did in 2000.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Answer: Less than the number of books Pelosi sold.

[thefactor]

what's the over-under?

i say 97 times. who's going to keep count?

[apocalypto]

It would be so Bill Clinton to keep on talking. I remember him trying to steal the spotlight from President Bush. The Clintons want B. Hussein Obama to lose.

[Charles Henrickson]

In honor of ken5050, I predict that the Sage of Chappaqua will mention himself 5050 times.

Are we just counting “I” or “I, me, mine, my”? I don’t include the term “we” as inclusive of Bubba because when he says “we” he means the rest of us, not him. He might as well be saying “you”. “We need to change” “we need to apologize for the past” “we need to help the world”.
