Tuesday Night Hustle
While some of you will be watching Batman Begins, Land of the Dead, or even the NBA Draft tonight, others will be tuning in to see President Bush's speech on how things are going in Iraq.
Well, I got the inside scoop!
It was easy really: I just checked out yesterday's Press Briefing. Odds are there won't be anything said that differs from what Scott McClellan mentioned. But if you are a fan of our President's bumble n' stumble oratory style, be my guest.
I'll be switching back and forth between the speech and the Draft, all the long playing my "drinking" game. I do this not to belittle the people who are bravely fighting for us overseas, but to undermine how the Administration keeps giving us the same message over and over again while trying to make us think it's new. The purpose of this speech is not to support the troops; it's to keep the public in favor of the President's decisions and policies.
With that said, feel free to play along; you can substitute you favorite edible vice (candy, chips) for a beverage. I'm debating between candy corn, chicken nuggets and Kool Aide.
Just let a "hit" = one swig OR one bite of your "vice".
So, for every:
"9/11" reference = one hit
"9/11" reference that links those attacks to going to Iraq = two hits
time the word "insurgents" is mentioned = one hit
time the word "terrorists" is mentioned = one hit
time the word "troops" OR "soldiers" is mentioned = one hit
"men and women" = two hits
"war on terror" = one hit
"Saddam Hussein" = one hit
"Osama bin Laden" = five hits
"Iraqi people" = one hit
"exit strategy" = two hits
"this is our exit strategy" = eight hits
"mistakes" without the word "no" in front of it = three hits
"free Iraq" = one hit
any mention of the dead or the wounded in either Iraq or Afghanistan = ten hits
Enjoy!
