Bush* claps and coos at himself like a little toddler

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

The media is creating a horrible monster by praising him all the time and celebrating his photo-ops.

Here is what he joked with Santa at the Christmas tree lighting:

It's always good to see Santa. I know you've got a lot of commitments this time of year. (Laughter.) We also know how Santa gets around: he travels in the dark of night, he arrives unannounced -- (laughter) -- and he's gone before you know he was there. (Laughter.) Santa, I can assure you, it's a lot easier on a flying sled than it is on Air Force One. (Laughter and applause.)

Aw, isn't he just the cutest little thing?

2. He's trying to deflect criticism of his fiasco flight to Baghdad

That's the Republican way, to never accept responsibility for your errors, just make a big joke out of it. I suppose when his girlfriend had an abortion, many years ago, he laughed it off and said, "Well, one less bush for the gardener to tend, ha ha."

Remember when he joked about the outing of Valerie Plame, and mentioned at the meeting with foreign delegates, "I don't like leaks," and everyone laughed?

Sick. The man is sick, and he makes me physically ill.

5. "one less bush for the gardener to tend"

He isn't that funny.

7. You don't think he's heard any criticism, do you?

I don't believe anyone would give him a paper with any headline about it (he only reads the headlines, he says)

He's aware of the poll bump *only* and believes he's home free.

3. Was he photographed with Santa holding fake gifts?

:eyes:

4. Santa, I can assure you, it's a lot easier on a flying sled

than it is on Air Force One. (Laughter and applause.)

:wtf: Explain to me how freezing your ass off flying in an open sled pulled by reindeer is easier than sleeping off yet another bender in a luxury fucking 747.

Memo to Santa:

Forget coal in W's stocking shove a couple of burning ones up his ass, then depart yelling HOE HOE HOE!

6. He even gets Santa Claus wrong.

It's a "one-horse open SLEIGH", not a sled. Jeez, Dumbya.

8. It Was Nauseating at the Time

It's like this nauseating bit is following me around. It was a channel surfing thing and I immediately switched it way. Then I woke up this morning musing about how nauseating it was. And now here it is.

Remember how, when Shrub had nothing to do after taking power and was going around reading the Hungry Caterpillar, and LIMBOsevic was saying endlessly that Shrub was not like CLINTON because CLINTON was "always in our face" and "it was all about him." Well...

9. Jeesus.

That is just sad.

[Eroshan]

10. we are the laughing stock

of the world. This pResident is one of the worst leaders ever, the only "leader" I can think of that was as bad was Idi Amin (sp). Another blowhard self congratulatory SOB.

11. Right, it's hard on Air Force One.

Ugh! Is there a more simultaneously ridiculous and despicable person on the planet? I don't think so. The only thing that's hard about flying on Air Force One is getting down the stairs and making it to your next bozo photo op.

[William Seger]

12. Not only that: it was a FAKE SANTA CLAUS!

We've been turkey-tricked again!

"Actor and NFL Hall of Famer, Merlin Olsen will appear as Santa Claus."
