Do you think he'll cry?

Why not reserve judgement until you've seen his speech?

Why flee this? It would be one of the most fascninating things the guy has ever done... he seems to think people are gonna want to pay to hear him at speaking engagements, for gosh sakes! We'll be able to see just how screwed up his head really is...

Why flee? Watch it with glee.

This is going to make for a fantastic drinking game.
Smirk=drink
911=drink
Does a "native" dance=shotgun a fifth of whiskey

I see what you did there.

I think I will watch it just to remember the fucking asshole that destroyed America.

But we should have a drinking game. A shot for earch of the following:

-9/11
-terrorist or terrorism
-"fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here"
-negro who stole the election (actually you get a triple if he says that one)

That's a very nice idea, raindrop. Here's another. Why don't you reserve judgment on the Obama presidency until he actually does something as president?

Why does he even need a farewell address? Can't he just leave well enough alone and GTFO without inflicting his faux-folksy syntax on us one more time?

@8: OK

Watch it with the sound off. Drink @ smirk or lip-read 9/11. Later try to figure out what he said from reading the comments.

Maybe he'll bring up some stuff that he fucked up that we didn't even know about?

Wish I could sell rotten tomatoes in DC ... I'd make a mint.

@5 - The last 8 years were a fantastic drinking game for GWB.

Posted by ImPeachMint on January 12, 2009 at 2:49 PM

I really, really, REALLY hope he pardons O.J. in the speech. I can see it now: "Since you folks have given me all-time low approval numbers, I may as well just drive the car right into a ditch. Goodnight, you fuckers."

Ding! Dong! The Purposefully-Ignorant Primate-In-Chief is almost dead!

Soon he will darken the White House towels no more!

@15 fur teh win

Posted by Will in Seattle on January 12, 2009 at 3:02 PM

No way am I watching this.

After 8 years of this smug, incompetent moron, the very sound of his voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. There is not a thing in the world he could possibly say that be worth a minute of my time to listen to.

Besides, I'm sure any inevitable gaffs will end up on YouTube.

Why not LiveSlog it for the lulz?
