George W Makes Debut as a Motivational Speaker

Mary Jordan of the Washington Post was in Fort Worth yesterday for the ex-president’s newest gig. His rhetorical skills may not have risen to the level of the other speakers, but apparently it didn’t matter. Best line of her review:

He could have said a thesaurus was a big scaly creature that roamed the planet millions of years ago and they would have applauded.

“He could have said hope was a waitress at IHOP and they would have applauded.”
–2nd best line from my review of every Obama speech in 2008.

I am shocked to learn that people who choose to go listen to an ex-president end up applauding said ex-president.

The best part of the article was when a salesman from Lubbock explained that the magic of George W. Bush emanates from his being no better than a salesman in Lubbock.

Which, give or take 100 miles, he is.

I am a real cynic when it comes to selling the hoi polloi “sunshine in a bottle.” Sunshine is free; these people are in the bottle and bottling business.

As proof, Bush shined as a credible motivator. (I bet he didn’t use any polysyllabic words.) No critical thinking skills needed, please make a purchase on the way out.

Is there anything this man can’t do?

Remarkable.
Riveting.

Were there any t-shirts with W’s smiling face and the caption “What, me worry?”
