Evan Thomas, Newsweek, on Bush ratings: "Well, if we get attacked again"..

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

What a TOOL.

He's on Imus right now.

"Well, if something happens, HOPEFULLY NOT SOMETHING TOO BAD"...

Saying that Bush's ratings right now are part of the normal process...the pendulum swings up, it swings down...

Imus isn't buying it, asks what kind of thing would bring Junior's ratings back up and Thomas says "well, if we get attacked again, you know..."

Jee-ZUS.

:scared:

[Vickers]

1. If we get attacked again, he failed, plain and simple.

Anyone that says otherwise, after he has been built up by the media and pundits as The Great Protector is a complicit, treasonous, lying sack of shit.

[bluestateguy]

2. If we get attacked again, Bush should be forced to resign

No more of this "rally round the president" crap again.

[belle]

3. If "we" get attacked again, I'm using Thomas as my personal flak jacket.

Stupid motherfucker. What do you mean "we," white man? You mean, let a bunch more of the more expendable members of society (i.e. everyone but you, pretty much) die horribly, and then, hey! Ratings go up! Fuck you and the pendulum you rode in on, asshat.

5. there was an article about this Cap Hills Blue a few days back.

8. Right and a lot of people here

would not accept it because it came from the CPB site. But, I really believe there are some Repugs that want another attack to get Bush's poll numbers up. Was there a letter who knows but they are on the same "talking points" just IMHO...

[Skittles]

6. it's disgusting, isn't it, belle?

we need to slap the shit out of this asshole and ask him DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS YOU ARE SAYING? YOU'RE SAYING WE NEED ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK TO MAKE YOUR BELOVED BOY GEORGE POPULAR AGAIN; IT IS SICK, SICK, SICK.

[patricia92243]

4. I've been afraid of this every since Bush's numbers have fallen. Whatever

needs to be done will be done by the Republican party.

[liberal N proud]

7. But, we are safer today than we were before 9/11

I hear that all the time from repukes implying that bu$h has some how made us safer by attacking Iraq.

[ChowChowChow]

9. Evan Thomas is a DISGUSTING BushBot neo-CON

He should be fired ...WHAT AN IDIOT...he has been saying this crap for awhile now.

[slor]

10. I heard that and was pissed...

there are others in the media that have suggested this too, as if they are hoping for such an event to save their chimperor's numbers. That so few Americans are outraged by this is tragic. When did the chimp become more important than America?

[pretzel4gore]

11. CHIMPEROR! hahaha!

chimperor....lol!

:spray:

12. Dean (John Dean)

said the same thing. When asked if bush's ratings could go back up he said no, unless there is another terrorist attack and people rally round him. But he wasn't sure that people would or if even that could do it. Just nothing else would.

It seems most are saying the reason he can't bounce back is because he just tries to change the words and not the truth behind them.

True, I don't watch fox, but it's amazing when a majority of pundits and journalists are seeing his bubble as burst.

We know bush hasn't changed, it's like people (public and press) have taken off some blinders.
Where did they get their blinders? Life is easier (if emptier) if you don't see hard truth.

[Dawgs]

13. The reason Bush's numbers ever went up were because of...

9/11 and the Iraq war.

14. Hoping or making one

happen? Funny how the supposed biggest domestic threat is environmentalists and animals rights people isn't it. How many extremist American mullahs and rightwing assholes have been spouting off threats to our cities lately, just askin.
