Chevy Chase calls Bush "A Dumb Fuck"

[Ian David]

It's the F-Time Show With Chevy Chase

By Richard Leiby
Thursday, December 16, 2004; Page C03

Even certified Hollywood liberals were reeling after Chevy Chase's potty-mouthed Bush-bashing Tuesday night at the Kennedy Center, where the actor hosted an awards ceremony staged by People for the American Way.

For most of the evening, Chase was his usual comedic self, delivering lines like "This just in -- resignations in the upper echelon of the Bush administration. The Bush sisters have resigned and are being replaced by Paris and Nicky Hilton. Back for more news later."

After actors Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon delivered speeches accepting their Defender of Democracy awards, Chase took the stage a final time and unleashed a rant against President Bush that stunned the crowd. He deployed the four-letter word that got Vice President Cheney in hot water, using it as a noun. Chase called the prez a "dumb ." He also used it as an adjective, assuring the audience, "I'm no clown either. . . . This guy started a jihad."

Chase also said: "This guy in office is an uneducated, real lying schmuck . . . and we still couldn't beat him with a bore like Kerry."

In Defense of Chevy Chase's Right to Call Bush a Dumb Fuck
By Jackson Thoreau
www.OpEdNews.com
've long liked Chevy Chase , but now I like him even more. He joins Jon Stewart and Bill Maher as my favorite comedians.

To stand up and call Bush a dumb fuck at a hoity-toity event like one hosted by the People for the American Way in mid-December http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3216-2004Dec15.html >, takes some guts. Chase just said what most of us want to say, but doubt we would if we had a national stage like Chase has and had to worry about pissing off fans who pay to see our movies and acts.

1. Wasn't GW AT that ceremony ?

Look for Chevy to be disappeared in the near future ... :scared:



:hippie:

[NYCGirl]

68. No, that was sponsored by People for the American Way, a liberal

group.

http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/

You might be thinking of the Kennedy Center Honors, which was held a few weeks ago.

Chevy Chase may no longer be in the "A" list, but he's not stupid.

[LiberalFighter]

75. Definitely in my "A" List

Reagan did "B" movies which IMO aren't worth more than an "F"

Give a "F" to ALL the repugs

[Q]

2. First of all...Cheney didn't get into anything resembling 'hot water'...

...for his ignorant remarks to a representative of the people. Secondly...I agree with Chevy.

[Cha]

40. Right...cheney went on fauxsux and said

he felt better after telling Senator Pat Leahy to "go fuck himself"..and that was about the extent of it.

Except there were a Lot of jokes at his expense.

[gmoney]

3. Chevy giving Mann Coulter ammo...

She always contends that we can't argue about Bush's policies without calling him "dumb" -- the 'F bomb' is just a cherry on the cake.

Not that Chevy was mistaken... but the word "evil" might have been a better choice than "dumb"

[Mr_Spock]

5. I can't even respect someone who cares what Manthrax Coultergeist thinks

Sorry, but "it" is a piece of garbage and if you have ever listened to her, you would know that she is a "dumb retarded fuck"

[ooglymoogly]

19. its worth being on du just to read the imagination of the posters

manthrax poultergeist great visual

[DulceDecorum]

8. You have a point

I looked up the first word and there was no picture of Bush,
but there he was, when I looked up the word EVIL.

[UTDemocrat8204]

76. Did he replace Hitler?

I wish I was there to hear Chase talkin about Bush. I'm sure that was pretty good.

[ooglymoogly]

17. "mann coulter" i love it eom

[porkrind]

18. WTF are you talking about?

That's great logic. So you think we shouldn't speak out because it might upset our enemies. That's a great plan. Sounds like battered-wife syndrome. Wouldn't want to rock the boat, now would we? Did you vote for Lieberman?

[tx_dem41]

21. Who said anything about NOT speaking out??

Its just that the use of four-letter words might offend our own side (and it does).

[Zhade]

41. Well, too fucking bad. He IS a dumbfuck, and an evil fuck too.

NT!

[NV Whino]

25. I lke it. Evil dumb fuck.

[buff2]

46. Evil dumb fuck

is an even BETTER description for that pig.Who gives a shit what manthrax says? She's nothing but rightwing trash heaped at the very top of the evil hate filled pond scum. Bu$h IS a dumb fuck and an evil one at that! Face it.

[slor]

66. He is dumb...

why not just be honest about it, as Chevy Chase has just shown. And that bitch coulter would find ammo in any statement that is even suggestive of being anti-shrub. We need not worry about how she would perceive any-fucking-thing!

[fujiyama]

78. Who gives a fuck

what Ann the Man Coulter thinks.

Let the fascists say whatever they want.

[yorkiemommie1]

99. right you are!!

[Sporadicus]

4. Good on Ye, Chevy!

His stock has just risen estimably in my eyes.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. Where was the WHORINGTON POST's outrage at Cheney....

when said the same thing to Pat Leahy???

:puke:

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Struck a nerve

He struck a nerve because both Gibson and O'Rilley are taking pot-shots at Chevy in their end of the week opinion pieces. The memo came down from above at Fox. Expect Chevy bashing for the forseeable future.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,141845,00.html

[Cha]

42. I'm sure Chevy knew that was coming and

thought it was worth it to speak his mind on bush for posterity sake!

[Lefty48197]

56. What the fuck qualifies Gibson to opine?

John's delusions of grandeur are a sad thing to witness.

[Lefty48197]

57. Read O'reilly for a good laugh:

Disrespecting the Office of the Presidency
Friday, December 17, 2004
By Bill O'Reilly

Disrespecting the office of the presidency -- that is a subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."



"Now you don't see this kind of thing on the Right. You don't see prominent conservatives cursing out Democratic members of Congress, for example. Now I know talk radio can get rough but nothing like what these Hollywood nitwits are throwing out there."

<snip>

"Most sane Americans respect honest dissent, and we need two strong parties in this country, but we don't need foolish, demeaning attacks on any president, no matter what party he or she is in."

Oh Bill, there you go again. Accusing people of doing the very things you do on a daily basis, yet have convinced yourself that you don't actually do. You sir have crossed the line into psychosis.

[livinginphotographs]

74. Wait a minute...

Did he just say, "You don't see prominent conservatives cursing out Democratic members of Congress."????!!!!

Um, yes you do. Dick Cheney kinda did that, didn't he? Whatever, it's like pissing in the wind with O'Reilly.

[Ian David]

82. Treason and Slander

Titles of books by Coulter.

That is much worse than what Chevy said.

[Spiffarino]

79. Excellent

Let them heap scorn. That's all they're good at. Eventually, it's a tactic that wears thin.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be awesome if Chevy's career took off again after this? What an enormous shitburger that would be for the punditocracy to have to swallow.

[Osamasux]

9. Go Chevy!

Let the truth be told, the DF president has no clothes.

:yourock:

[mzmolly]

10. "Go F**k yerself" Chevy.

[Syrinx]

11. Bush isn't dumb

He's very inarticulate, and certainly as evil as they come. But he ain't dumb.

[Kolesar]

30. Bush is a scheming, evil political genius

He knows how to fuck people over to achieve his ends. But he is dull-witted when it comes to executing his job. He cannot think through the permutations of problems created by massive deficits or a holy war in Iraq.

[Cha]

43. I like Mark Crispin Miller's take on the

bushtard.

http://www.alternet.org/story/10989

"George W. Bush is renowned for saying things like "It's not the way American is all about." His gaffes include "Desert Storm. We sold a lot of tickets" and "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm dictator." So if Bush has a way with words it's for twit-like wit and malapropian fluency. Last year he told the Los Angeles Times, "One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected." And on the campaign trail he shared with the New York Times: "I don't care what the polls say. I don't. I'm doing what I think what's wrong."

"I know how hard it is to put food on your family."
- Greater Nashua, New Hampshire, 1/27/2000

"What's not fine is, rarely is the question asked, are, is our children learning?"
- Los Angeles Times, 1/14/2000

King: Can a president do something about ? There was a movement that Bill Clinton can sign an executive order dealing with it. To your knowledge, can you?
Bush: I don't know about that, but yes, I think the President can call upon racial reconciliation in America."

On Edit~ No bush isn't "dumb" ..he's the village IDIOT!

[Kolesar]

47. MCM:"bush is articulate when talking about the things he likes...."

"...like war, the death penalty, retribution, etc." I saw Miller a long time ago in a TV interview discussing bush's use of language. People are naturally more articulate in things that they are interested in. For bush, when it comes to things like caring for the poor, he is lost.

But don't believe me. You should see what his "Speechalist" had to say.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2239077&mesg_id=2239077

[Cha]

51. I know ..I remember that

bush being "articulate" about things like death and cutting taxes for his contributors.

I couldn't see the "the Speechalist"..it just came up black screen when I clicked on all the things to see the video.

[Kolesar]

53. see the repeat at 9pm eastern tonight on Comedy Central

sorry about the failed video.

[Cha]

63. Thanks, Boreal, but I don't

get CC. I can imagine how funny it is, though. Can't imagine life without Jon Stewart and his gang of newsjocks, though!


Edit~ I don't get CC now..but used to and I see video clips of Jon on DU everyone in awhile and I know how much DUers and others enjoy his show.

[Syrinx]

49. I believe he knows he's screwing everything up

He just doesn't give a shit. Hence, he's evil.

[Kolesar]

54. His gop friends told him that busting the budget is a good thing

to squeeze out social spending eventually. That is evil.

[buff2]

48. Hahahahahahaha..............

He's as dumb as a bag of rocks. Have you ever heard him try to talk? Have you ever seen his actions? Look at his "policies".....are they smart and good for the country? Nuff said.

[Syrinx]

50. I never said his policies are "smart and good for the country"

He doesn't give a flying fuck about the country. He wants to get his while he screws the country over. He's evil, not stupid.

[SammyWinstonJack]

64. I agree, he's evil, not stupid.

I would add that he's also arrogant, greedy and he views the vast majority of Americans with great disdain. His smirks and condescensions bare that out.

[buff2]

73. I respectfully disagree........

I truly believe he is stupid AND evil. I've never in my entire life seen anyone who is supposed to be college educated and in such a high profile job carry on the way he does. He acts like a complete and total moron,and a cocky one at that. If you haven't already figured this out....I HATE that creep. :hi:

[Skittles]

77. he is evil AND stupid

that's what makes him so f***ing dangerous

[Hippo_Tron]

62. I don't think that he's smart enough to run the country

But I do think that his "stupidity" and inarticulateness as well as his thick Texas accent are all part of an act he started to put on after he lost congress the first time.

[tx_dem41]

12. It might make everyone feel good, but it sure doesn't help

the cause.

[Q]

14. What 'cause' are you talking about?

The CAUSE to keep the Bushies unaccountable and above the law?

That's not OUR cause, is it?

[tx_dem41]

16. To lead this nation again.

Using childish epithets doesn't get us there.

[Q]

22. Are you sure that 'childish epithets' have anything to do with...

...which party is in power or the ability to 'lead'?

You just might be making the same mistake as those who associate Moore's films with the Democratic party. What happened to individuals expressing their OWN opinions? You don't hear the left associating anything the gasbag Limbaugh says with the GOP. Why? Because it's Rush's OPINION and neither he or the GOP cares what WE think about it.

20. What "cause"?

And does everyone have to "help the cause" by rolling over and asking Bush to rub their tummies? Sorry, Bush is a dumb, inarticulate, evil fuck. By saying that, am I hurting "the cause"? Will Mann Coulter be upset with me?

[tx_dem41]

24. Fine...if you want to use obscene words in public...feel free...

Some people like to speak out using reason and facts. And, those are the ones that I want to lead.

[Q]

27. Do you think anyone would have quoted Chase if he used...

...'reason and facts' to express his opinion? What about those at the event who did just that? Hear any quotes from them?

But the larger point is that Chase has as much right as Cheney to use that word. Did you lash out at Cheney when he used these same 'obscene words'?

[tx_dem41]

31. I never said he had no right. Why are you trying to distract from the..

issue? Its not a First Amendment issue.

Do you like Norman Lear, an actual leader for our side? He distanced himself from the childish, offensive remark.

[w13rd0]

29. I'm sorry...

...I missed the news that Chevy, and/or myself, had announed intention to "lead"...

[tx_dem41]

33. Well, I would hope one of the purposes of DU ....

was to empower us into being leaders, if only in our smaller, local communities. Silly me, for believing you might want to be a leader.

[Warren DeMontague]

37. In my small, local community

...it's pretty widely accepted that Bush is a dumb fuck.

[tx_dem41]

38. I have to admit....

you made me chuckle with that response. ;-)

[Lefty48197]

59. Are you running for President?

.

[tx_dem41]

67. You misunderstood my last sentence in the post. n/t

[Lefty48197]

60. Are you running for President?

.

[Lefty48197]

58. It got me fired up. I think that's good for our side, and bad for theirs.

Ann Coulter better hope I don't see her walking down the street, because I'll call her a dumb fuck too.

[Pithy Cherub]

13. That nice gentleman, Chevy Chase was just ensuring

he wasn't "misunderestimated" by republicans! Nice of him, really, to use the language of the audience he was speaking to... :bounce:

[BlueManDude]

23. Bravo Chevy Chase. I've ceased caring what the MM think n/t

[Leilani]

26. Did it win 1 vote?

Even Norman Lear distanced himself.

[tx_dem41]

28. Good for Norman Lear!

I wish others would realize that it probably even lost a few.

[jimshoes]

32. Believe it or not

in the real world, people cuss. And * is an evil vile fuckwit.

[tx_dem41]

36. You're right, sadly...

there are many people in the real world that have a very limited capability to express and defend their beliefs with anything other than obscenity and epithets. I thought DU might be different. It seems like we're just like everyone else.

[The Backlash Cometh]

34. You go, Chevy.

He's my man.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. Wow. That's the funniest thing he's done since "Fletch"

...in my humble opinion.

[njdemocrat106]

88. Saw "Christmas Vacation" on Sunday

He's still got it, IMO!

[Warren DeMontague]

94. Yeah, Christmas Vacation has its moments.

'course, that movie isn't exactly recent, either.

[Cha]

39. I don't think Kerry is a "bore"..that's the

fucking meme. But, I do agree that "bush is a dumb fuck" and defend Chevy's right to say it.

Last year..bush was in the audience at the Kennedy Center awards and I figured he would be this year, too. I guess not!

[Darth_Kitten]

44. But the repubs think he's a bore, that's the thing....

They are boring, boring uptight prudes. :)

[Contrary1]

45. Here's what I think...

I agree 100% with Chevy Chase, and the "Contrary" side
of me wants to stand up, applaud, and post signs around
town that echo his statement. The more logical, (less fun)
side of me says I shouldn't do this.

In order for this country to begin recovering from the mess
this administration has brought about, and will continue to
bring about for several more years, we must try to win back
some of the voters that went Repub for the "moral" reasons.

A large number of these people are turned off by the sight of
a bare breast, a four letter word, or public disrespect for the
president. I'm not talking about the Fundies here, they are too
far gone. I'm talking about the more moderate element of both
parties that watch the Susan Sarrandons and Michael Moores,
and don't like what they see.

It is a fact of life that the MSM is going to report the news
that is the most attention getting and/or controversial. They
don't feel the need to show both sides of the issues. They will
pander to their viewers, and grandstand on those points.

So there it is. In the company of my own family, I will continue
to refer to the Dim Son as a dumb, evil fuck, if not worse. It
helps me to release my frustration...but I will limit my more
public comments to that one simple, concise statement that
says it all: "Get used to it."

[robbedvoter]

52. Earth to Chevy: we beat the dumb f* twice. Bore or no bore.

Too bad you are not informed.

[Lefty48197]

55. Bush is a dumb fuck. What's the big deal?

Are others afraid to speak the truth?

[sherilocks]

61. Did the MSM even mention the PFAW Awards event?

Would we have known anything about it if Chevy Chase hadn't called the chimp a dumb fuck at the ceremony? Chase is right. * is a dumb fuck.

[DemGa]

65. New respect for Chevy Chase n/t

[Disturbed]

69. The word Fuck.

It seems to draw attention. Kerry used it in a Rolling Stone interview. Would his interview have gotten any press otherwise? There must be a few hundred uses for that word. I feel that it is a word that has more negative meanings than positive even though most people like to fuck. It is a bit strange, yes?

[Contrary1]

71. This should help you sort it all out:

The Word Fuck.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English Language today is the word "Fuck", out of all of the English words that begin with the letter "F", fuck is the only word that is referred to as the F-Word. It's the one magical word just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.

Fuck, as most words in the English language is derived from the German word "fricken" meaning, "to strike". In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories, as a transitive verb for instance, "John fucked Shirley", as a intransitive verb, "Shirley fucks".

Its meaning is not always sexual; it can be used as an adjective, such as "John's doing all the fucking work", as part of an adverb, "Shirley talks too fucking much", as an adverb enhancing an adjective, "Shirley is fucking beautiful".

As a noun, "I don’t give a fuck", as part of a word, "abso-fucking-lutely" or "in-fucking-credible" and as almost every word in a sentence "Fuck the fucking fuckers".

As you must realize there aren’t too many words with the versatility of fuck, as in these examples describing situations such as:-

Fraud : "I got fucked at the car dealership."

Dismay: "Aw, fuck it."

Trouble: "I guess I'm really fucked now."

Aggression: "Don’t fuck with me, buddy"

Difficulty: "I don’t understand this fucking question."

Inquiry: "Who the fuck was that?"

Dissatisfaction: "I don’t like what the fuck is going on here."

Incompetence: "He's a fuck off."

Dismissal: "Why don’t you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?"

I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all of these multi-purpose applications how can anyone be offended when you use the word?

I say, use this unique flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly - FUCK YOU!

[Ian David]

81. What can we do to support Chevy Chase?

Of course, I think we should write letters to the editors and such.

And don't forget to mention that Colon Powell called Bush & Co. a bunch of "fucking religious loonies" or something like that.

But what else can we do to tell the world that Chevy Chase, Margaret Cho, and Linda Rondstadt actually speak for us and speak the truth?

[shrike]

83. Thanks, Chevy

My sentiments exactly

[DesEtoiles]

84. And so should we all.

[Chicago Democrat]

85. Correction "evil" MF

[ArkySue]

87. He's right!

An astute observation, IMHO!

[TankLV]

89. Good for Chevy. We would never have even heard of this event, much less

what was said, if it weren't for the "fuck".

But notice carefully how much play this gets, but almost nobody knows that bunkerboy gave the "finger" during one of his staged "press events".

It's all what the whore media chooses to play and how they play it.

Still protect all repukes, at any cost, at all times, while chastizing any and all dems every chance they get.

[Catherine Vincent]

90. I don't think he should have said it.

n/t

[WINEWOMAN7]

91. You go, Chevy!!!!!

Chevy is calling a spade a spade. Why can't we liberals call it as we see it when these facists can call us everything in the book. Lynn Cheny calls Kerry "Not a nice man", Cheny tells a Democratic senator to go "fuck himself". These people think they can get away with anything and we don't have the right to respond? They can go fuck themselves. We need to stand up and tell them what self righteous, hypocritical, lying, evil whores they are when right is on our side. Remember, we are the good guys, they are the evil empire.

You the man, Chevy!!!

[spanone]

92. Yea, Chevy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LynnTheDem]

93. Chevy states FACT...and Dild O'Reilly LIES

Did ya'll hear O'Lielly say "you don't see prominent conservatives cussing at Democrats"???

ROTFL!!!

Hey O'LIElly, go CHENEY yourself, you stupid liar.

[LWolf]

95. Can we get a video clip?

:D

[0007]

96. Is this gonna be the start of something big? I hope I hope I hope

Go go go go go Chevy Chase, I love ya!

[Obviousman]

97. Awesome!

[ailsagirl]

98. Took the words right out of my mouth!!!! Go Chev

[spanone]

100. Chevy has astute character insight.

[ChiciB1]

101. Maybe We're Finally Going to Get Some Help

from Hollywood! I've wondered for a long long time just what is up with them?? They've been our bread & butter for a long time and I think it's a shame that they have been so silent!

I realize the Dixie Chicks had a hard go of it, but Bruce "the Boss" didn't seem to get any flack. Where did they all go????

Where's Eminem?? Where's Jackson Browne? Oh, I could go on and on. I saw the whole concert 2 times on Sundance Channel and it was fantastic, and now... NOTHING! Up in smoke, and the silence is so LOUD!

[Pepper32]

102. I agree with Chevy! n/t

103. Thumbs Up

Chevy! :thumbsup:
