Coach Wyatt Speech for President Bush

Here is a sneak peek at the speech which I wrote for the President (he hasn't yet said that he won't use it):

"Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress, and my fellow Americans. The other day, the head of another country referred to me as 'El Diablo' - the Devil.

"Now, look - I can take it. I mean, after all, I've been called lots worse - right here in Washington, D.C.! By Democrats! (laugh, and pause for laughter) Isn't that right Teddy? (Smile, and pause for laughter)

"But, you know, I think it's important that we all realize that whatever people may think about me, they need to remember that the Presidency of the United States is a special institution - one that dates all the way back to George Washington, and includes men like Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan, men of both parities.

"And after I'm gone from office - and from what I've been told, there's a movie out that shows me leaving office a little sooner than I'd like (pause for laughter) , and in a way that doesn't exactly have a lot of appeal (pause for laughter) - there will be another President in this same office. And you know what? He may not even be a Republican, either. (pause for laughter) In fact, he may not even be a "he." (Long pause for laughter). But whoever the next President is, and whatever we think of him (or her) we simply must begin once again to show respect for the office, and we must be mindful of that whenever we criticize the President.

"I ask everyone who criticizes me to feel free to continue - not that any of you have ever acted as if you needed my permission do so , ha, ha (pause for laughter) but to please remember to show great respect for the office which someday perhaps someone more to your liking - maybe even you yourself - will hold, and I also invite our former Presidents to join me in my pledge that when I am also a former President, I will have nothing but good to say regarding my successor and his or her policies.

"To President Chavez of Venezuela, I say, 'F--k you, Football Face.'

"Thank you, and may God Bless America."
