Today's Price is Right Update
Today's Price is Right Update
They had the oddest game on today's edition of The Price is Right.
At the start of the second half of the show, they had this bit where a woman bid on a watch and bracelet set, and then President Bush came and spoke for the rest of the show.
Not on the Price is Right set. From the Rose Garden at the White House. I think I'd like it more if George spoke with the Plinko board behind him.
The president spoke on the governmental situation in Iraq, and repeated the statement about Iraq's sovereign status and how their government is one that will be working WITH us, and not FOR us.
When asked what might happen if that equal, sovereign government were to ask us to leave, the President said:
"Heh, heh, heh" and then made a smashing motion with his fist, and then imitated an explosion's noise.
Actually, he didn't really answer the question in any straight forward manner. He noted that he realizes that more and more, the Iraqi government will want to deal with things, but he wants to remain close should they request and require our help.
You know, we keep talking about setting these people up with a democratic/republic form of government....and I keep thinking about how a Shi'ite elected government's first order of business would probably be to order us out of the country, followed quickly by a massacre of the Sunni people.
Also, and this is a propos of very little, except that it was a funny, funny line I heard on Bob and Tom this morning:
We're struggling to set Iraq up with a Constitution, right? Why not just give them ours? It's worked fine for over 200 years, and Hell! We're not using it anymore.
Anyway, my last thought is that I wasn't paying all that much attention to the Price is Right, but when CBS broke in with the news, I perked up and made sure I was paying attention. I guess I was relieved it was just the President talking, and not some disaster on a horrific scale.
Yeap. This was definitely the most confusing episode of The Price is Right ever.
