Which Phrase will be the winner?

[svcw]

Me me me I I I I.............I will I will I did I did Bush’s fault Me Me Me

“I”

mainstreet and unsustainable

[reagan_fanatic]

Agreed. The word ‘I’ will pop up at least 40 or 50 times.

Narcissists like to do things like that.

[al_c]

I choose "Let me be clear". What would you say?

Agreed. He talks down to his listening audience and this falls right into play.

Anyone want to really be brave (or drunk enough) to count the number of times he swivels his head? We could have a pool on that number.

Or, count the number of times he swivels his head from say, 9:15 to 9:20 then we could do an extrapolation.

My bet is 1,123 times he watches the ping pong ball in his head go back and forth.

[Apparatchik]

“efforts” or “tried” - these are code words for “failure”.

[varon]

Not a phrase, but the word “I”
