More about the selected moron...

[RaulVB]

"Q Any plans for New Year's Eve?

THE PRESIDENT: Early to bed.

Q New Year's resolutions?

THE PRESIDENT: I'll let you know. Already gave you a hint on one, which is my waistline. I'm trying to set an example.

Thank you all."

What you just read is the end of the "briefing" that the bastard gave at Crawford yesterday, while 125.000 are dead in Southeast Asia!

This guy really, really needs to leave the White House.

Why don't you "set an example" and go "Cheney" yourself!

1. I ate at McDonald's yesterday

while 125,000 were dead in Southeast Asia.

A lot of people had sex yesterday, while 125,000 were dead in Southeast Asia.

You sure spent a lot of time posting, while 125,000 were dead in Southeast Asia.

2. Raul is not the selected resident of the USA

The "president" is supposed to set an example at a time like this--but this jerk is concerned only about himself. What an idiot.

He should have refrained from any self-references. He should have used the opportunity to reflect on the tragedy.

6. So in response to the question

of what his New Years Eve plans were, the proper response was "125,000 people are dead in SE Asia"?

Got it. That idiot thought they wanted to know his New Years Eve plans. Stupid bastard.

[RaulVB]

10. You should apply to the WH. They really could use you there (n/t)

[Calvinist Basset]

24. Let's try this for an appropriate response.

Q: Do you have any New Year's Eve resolutions?

A: Only one. I resolve to do all I can as President of the United States to help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, bring healing and health to the sick, and generally make the world a better place for this generation and the ones to come.

Maybe it's overly schmaltzy--but it is at least compassionate and recognizes that there are problems in the world to face (besides his damned waistline).

[RaulVB]

13. Thanks!

The "child" has a personal beef with me, that's all...

[bemis12]

14. Not at all

Your personal insecurities are showing.

[RaulVB]

15. Is that so?

Strange, I feel pretty good right now...:eyes:

[Wilms]

4. And the Moron was a Moron while 125K died in SE Asia. n/t

[buff2]

5. You are NOT the pRESIDENT,either!!!!

What's the matter? Defending Baby Jesus Bu$h are ya? That phuking moron is supposed to be our president,not just some dumb hick on vacation for Khrist's sakes! :grr: :puke:

[lonestarnot]

17. Did you know phuque.com is a website?

[Catherine Vincent]

You're very good.

Bush is looking for a few good men like you.

[RaulVB]

9. That's your problem and since your "political relevance" is minimal...

When you are the "leader of the free world" we'll talk again...

Very "moving" comments, indeed.

I wouldn't expect anythinbg less of such an "important" figure!

[democrank]

19. I see Bush has at least a few friends around here, Bemis.

Glad you had a meal yesterday, but I think you missed the point. No world leader in his/her right mind would stand before a bank of microphones during one of the most horrific natural disasters in recent memory and inject personal jokes about their waistline into their public statement.

Long story short....Bush is an embarrassment to this nation each and every time he opens his ignorant mouth.

[bemis12]

20. I'm no friend of Bush

But when he's asked about such things as his New Years plans and resolutions, I anticipate he'll answer them in the same manner.

Weird, huh?

[evil genius]

3. paraphrase of Bierce's resolution

I resolve that for one year from this date I will not injest any spiritous, vinous or malt liquors, unless I decide that a temporary suspention of this pledge is in order. I will not partake in tobacco in any of its forms, unless I think it would be nice. I will steal no more than I have actual use for. I will not murder anyone, except for his money. I will not write any wicked slander against anyone, unless by doing so I should forgo a good joke. I will not run off with another man's wife without her full and complete consent. And I will never, neh never, so help me god, bring his children along. I won't whip any cripples unless they are flitting about bothering me when I am busy. I will donate to charity all the boots of my room-mate.

[evil genius]

11. oh i forgot a part

I wil not commit highway robbery except upon young school children and then only in actual or prospective hunger.

[roseBudd]

7. check this answer out, could he be more uninformed?

Q Mr. President, are you confident that the U.S. west coast residents -- Hawaiian residents, Alaska residents -- are well enough protected with early warning systems for possible tsunamis affecting this country and coastal --

THE PRESIDENT: No, I appreciate that question, it's a -- I think that part of the long-term strategy in how to deal with natural disaster is to make sure we have -- "we," the world, has a proper tsunami warning system. As a matter of fact, the President of Sri Lanka also mentioned that to me. She said that one of the things that she and the Prime Minister of India discussed -- I'm not sure they discussed it, but they're both thinking the same way, let me put it to you that way -- is the development of a proper warning system. And I think it's going to be very -- I can't answer your question specifically, do we have enough of a warning system for the west coast. I am going to -- I am now asking that to our agencies and government to let us know. I mean, that's a very legitimate question. Clearly, there wasn't a proper warning system in place for that part of the world, and it seems like to me it makes sense for the world to come together to develop a warning system that will help all nations.

[classof56]

22. "And," he added, "now I'm off to the golf course so you can...

watch this drive!"

His compassion and intelligence know no bounds. That Texas village has found its idiot--just wish he was theirs and theirs alone!

Tired Old Cynic

[Dr.Phool]

Thats a legitamate question

But, I don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. They might have talked about this thing, but i don't know. Wanna buy some wood?

[madison2000]

8. At the end of 2001 he said "its been a wonderful year for Laura and I"

You'd think that the man who was President during the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor might mention it as part of his year- but that would be presuming he lets these things get to him.

He sleeps like a baby no matter whats going on.

[Sparkly]

12. Wasn't it about exercise and his knees last year?

He never has resolutions about working toward ending hunger, working toward peace, working to understand things he doesn't understand, working to do a better job at ANYthing -- he aspires toward nothing except exercising more!?? This is the "example" the country needs?? His waistline is gonna help the world HOW??!

I don't usually use the same language as my husband but I gotta say... What a fuckwad.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. *sigh*

A waistline, a single fucking waistline. Yeah, that's what the "leader of the free world" should consider to be a preeminent resolution for 2005. Dipshit!

[jimshoes]

18. I am going to eat a donut

now just because. Oh yeah and fuck you chimpy!

[omulcol]

21. Have to share this joke again !!!

ÊGeorge Bush is visiting the Queen of England.
He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government?
Are there any tips you can give me?"

"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent, clever people."

Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent and clever?"

The Queen takes a sip of tea.
Ê"Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligentÊriddle.
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send TheÊPrime Minister Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walks into the room. "Your Majesty..."

The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother.... and it is not your sister. Who isÊit?"

Immediately Blair answers , "That ... would ...be.......... ME !"

"Yes! Very good!" says the Queen.

ÊBack at the White House, Bush calls in his vice president, Dick Cheney.
"Dick, answer this for me.

Your mother and your father have a child.
It's not your brother ... and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," says the vice president. "Let me get back to you on that one."
Dick Cheney goes to all his advisers and asks every one the riddle, but none can give him an answer.
Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Dick shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child but... it's not your brother... or your sister. Who isÊit?"
Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy...... It's ME !"
Dick Cheney smiles, and sighs in relief . "Thanks Col !!! "
Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and says to Bush.

"Say, I did some research and finally got the answer to that Êriddle ....... It's Colin Powell."


Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells into hisÊface,

"No, you f....in' idiot ..... It's Tony Blair ! "

[TexasChick]

25. LOL! n/t

[housewolf]

23. Never forget...

Wigh GWB, it's "all about me (and mine)" forever and always.

[RaulVB]

26. No mercy in the fight against this moron!

Reading Ed Dionne's piece just made me see it even more clear.
