Tomorrow, maybe, Bush will finally read his best speech ever.
Intro: I see him grave, hair carefully combed, serious, winning, sincere, often beguiling, sometimes employing a wry smile, curiously attractive, a man's man.
'God is good.
God is great.
God is good.
My God is good.
Bin Laden's God is bad.
His is a bad God.
Saddam's God was bad, except he didn't have one.
He was a barbarian.
We are not barbarians.
We don't chop people's heads off.
We believe in freedom.
So does God. I am not a barbarian.
I am the democratically elected leader of a freedom-loving democracy.
We are a compassionate society.
We give compassionate electrocution and compassionate lethal injection.
We are a great nation.
I am not a dictator.
He is.
I am not a barbarian.
He is.
And he is.
They all are.
I possess moral authority.
You see this fist?
This is my moral authority.
And don't you forget it.'

That's his next speech, says Laura, in their dialect.
