Bush vs. Mick Jagger

Verbatim dialogue spoken prior to last night's showing of God Grew Tired Of Us at the Pacific Design Center: (Full disclosure -- I'm guy #2.) Guy #1: "Bush is giving a speech Wednesday night about Iraq." Guy #2: "Yeah? (turning to guy #3) "Are you interested in hearing Bush talk about Iraq?" Guy #3: "Uhm...no." Guy #2: "What's he gonna say?" Guy #3: "He's not going to be preempting The Nights of Prosperity, is he?" Guy #2: "That's...what is that?" Oh, the rip-off-Mick Jagger thing?" Guy #3: "Yeah." Guy #2: "Donal Logue." Guy #3: "He'd better not preempt it." Guy #2: "When's it go on?" Guy #3: "9, I think."

Thank goodness he's not doing it Thursday where he would cut into My Name is Earl, The Office and Scrubs. I would go ballistic if that happened.

I wonder how much HBO has donated to the government for Bush to make a speech tonight. I mean, it's just too convenient, being the debut of the last season of Sopranos knowing full well that the networks will have to cover the pres.

What about a sitcom about a bunch of blue-collar guys who try to organize the impeachment of a president dumber than they are?

I thought the Sopranos new season didn't start until March/April?

EDouglas is confusing the regular cable debut of THE SOPRANOS on A&E with the final half season in March/April.

Why would anybody waste their time listening to a speech by Bush on Iraq any time or any day, no matter what else is going on? Any one of us could write that speech in our sleep already. It's not as if you're going to hear anything new.

He's as predictable as Nixon was whenever he made a speech on Vietnam during his last couple of years in office, except that Nixon was lot more entertainingly wackazoid.
