World Press Wires Buzzing Over Bush's "Permission Slip" line in SOTU

Agence Vichy France Presse et al ^ | 1/20/04 | Various

[varina davis]

One of my favorite lines in the entire State of the Union speech tonight.

[lainde]

Best damn line in the speech! I'm sick of mommy-may-I? foreign policy.

[jigsaw]

The only problem is that Dean is already under water.

How ironic that Senator Swimmer (D., Oldsmobile) supports John F'n Kerry and it's Dean who's drowning.

[narby]

don't think I've ever seen a SOTU address where the President ridiculed his opponents positions. It was a very effective tactic.

Yeah. Great, wasn't it!!!

[Darlin']

I don't know why anyone finds that to be an unusual statement. Every country has the right of self-defense. Yes, France that means you, too..... You oughta try it sometime.

[JoJo Gunn]

If y'all will go outside and be still, you'll hear the sound of 'roids blowing in Leftists brains, (such as they are), all over the world.

Think I'll go make some popcorn....

[Texas Eagle]

"Badges?? We don't need no steenkin' badges!">

[nicollo]

The line will empower Dean. Precisely what Bush wants.
Dean's opponents can either agree with Dean or agree with Bush.

Either way, they lose.

[bray]

You can bet in the morning PravdABDNCBS will be mouthing the same outrage. The DNC is the third axis of evil and must be defeated just like any other terrorists!

Pray for W and The Truth

He showed the Left up as not only as anti-War but as anti-American. The American people are going to agree with him right here and now. It was masterful along with the reminder we're still fighting a war. The Democrats behave as if they live before 9/11 happened and they're still in denial how much the world has changed since.

[M Kehoe]

I'm sure that permission slip line did not do well in the focus groups at the Sorbonne.

Nor the terrorist in Syria. I hope Assad is listening.

5.56mm

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Their restraint is commendable.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Perfect.
I wonder if this can be slipped into everyday discussion. It'd be a killer...

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[VaBthang4]

Hahaha....give'em Hell GW!!!

Effeminates around the world stir in bitter hatred towards the Dub and a majority of Americans.

Screw'em.

[annyokie]

It certainly was. Hubby and I were not so constrained. ; )

[Big Horn]

What about fat teddy does he have the shakes or was he nodding no?

[mylife]

The UN doesnt take kindly to soveriegnty

[tellw]

Canadian Press: "He [Bush] stressed that protecting America from terrorism is still his biggest responsibility and sent a clipped message to countries that opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq. 'America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people,' said Bush."

[annyokie]

I will err on the side of caution and say both. He looked like he was half in the bag last night in Iowa, imo.
