Randi said that bu$h teased a blind reporter about wearing shades? |
|
Randi played the clip of the chimp making fun of an LA Times reporter for wearing sunglasses indoors. How out of touch is this imbecile?

1. In all fairness, either * didn't know until after the fact or forgot... |
|
...he was told. Not suprising either way. And just as embarassing.

who is the President of the United States might actually be worldly enough to think there may be a reason the man was wearing sunglasses inside. He may not have known, but Bush's knee jerk reaction to every situation is to make fun of people. It really is a form of bullying.

2. Randi also played a clip of Bush flip flopping. |
|
In the first part of his speech to the press, he called Iraq a successful democracy. Later, he responded to a reporter with "Iraq is a dangerous place."

4. He behaves like an obnoxious 6th grader |
|
I swear, this is the first thought that comes to mind in describing Bush. He is an immature little man with a middle school mind. (No offense to 6th grade boys who actually do not behave like Bush).

17. I heard that too, but Snopes says it's an "Urban Legend" |
|
Let's hope that the transformation to an "1984-Like America" is not realized and THIS STUPID F'UP (teasing a blind man for wearing dark glasses TODAY) is not spun into the same by our blessed Corporate Media: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.htm

18. Even as I read the WP article |
|
about Stevie Wonder, I was wondering what the definition of what they meant by a "vignette" was. But; I never doubted for a minute that * was capable of doing that.....I did see a clip of today's "shades" "touche" exchange on CNN's 360, but the host of 360 never ever mentioned that the reporter was blind.

9. Oh! That is so STUPID! No, there's no excuse for * to talk off of |
|
the cuff ... keep to the index cards!
This man is such an embarrassment! :(
OMFG! The man was blind?!?
I once asked two young Japanese Pilots (we met in Tokyo) if they knew where I lived --> Which was "Near Pearl Harbor" ! :blush: :blush: :blush: Now that was unintentional but ABSOLUTELY mindless and f'ing stupid of ME. However, I was a butter bar LT, NOT The President of The United States! :grr:
I pray every night that * resigns. Hope springs eternal, aye?

13. Oh God, you just reminded me... |
|
...of when I flew into Hiroshima the first time with a Japanese colleague. I made some completely idiotic comment about how modern the whole city looked. "Yes," he said, "the previous city looked far older." Oops.

15. Yes, they could tell that "I immediately realized my error" |
|
It was one of my most embarrassing moments and my face flushed bright red. However, thank goodness the young men were very gracious and could tell that I caught my mistake. It also didn't hurt that I was kind of cute, petite and 22 y.o. at the time. Nope, that didn't hurt ... but again, thank goodness for small favors. I still blush when I recall that moment of PURE idiocy. :P

14. Based on this story, Bush would call Helen Keller a freakshow. |
