It must be driving Bush crazy with all the talk about his daddy and his

[Poiuyt]

team coming in to clean up his mess. All his life, George has been fighting the notion that he has been an underachiever compared to his father. He's hated being compared with GHWB. I think one of the biggest reasons George wanted to invade Iraq so badly was to show that he has a bigger penis than his father. Now the press is talking about how poppy has once again had to come in to rescue his son and (more importantly) the family name. I'm guessing that it's just killing George.

:rofl:

1. Let's hope so. The fucker deserves to be embarrassed and destroyed.

[BuyingThyme]

2. I hope the rest of America is seeing this.

[Old and In the Way]

3. Yes....and that's scary.

We know he's emotionally retarded. Dad coming, once again, to the rescue and bailing him out won't help his self-esteem. Might he have the urge to start another war or drop a nuke on someone just to show us who's pResident? It really is a remarkable thing....what other President's parent has ever gone on the PR offensive telling us how honest and peace loving his son is?

[babylonsister]

5. Good point; no other prez I know of had to be bailed out like this one.

Isn't this what Poppy has done for him his whole life, in all the failed attempts he's ever been involved in? Pathetic, and cold comfort to know I didn't vote for him.

4. It's SURREAL is what it is.

It's just one freaky freakshow after another.

I think they should both go on Jerry Springer. Or "I'm a Celebrity's Dad, Get Him Out of There!"

6. It's not complete humiliation if it's a "Bush" solution.

Having his father's people handle his problems is something Junior is actually used to. He doesn't see his own worthlessness at all, despite the evidence. Bush believes he is a successful businessman, governor, father, Christian, and a man who "served in the armed forces." If James Baker and other Bush family fixers manage to extricate the little feller from Iraq, no matter how messily, bloodily, and failingly, Bush will find a way to consider it an achievement, either a personal achievement or a "Bush" achievement.

The greater danger, IMO, is that Baker can save the Bush family from it's deserved spiral swim down the toilet of history.

7. The entire fleet of the U.S. Coast Guard isn't enough to rescue that

name. :eyes:

[Bad Penny]

8. I really do believe the elder bush is as scared

of W as much as the rest of us. W's very much his mother's son, and the old man has never had a stable relationship with him. Poppy is coming across now as a contrite father trying too hard to be in his son's corner after his son's been caught murdering thousands of people, but the rift is too wide and the damage W has inflicted acting out his oedipital complexes is too great to fix with a fatherly hug anymore. These people are dysfunctional on a biblical scale, and W is more dangerous than ever

9. Poor W...

He's the "Bad Seed"** and he knows it; revels in it. No doubt it does burn him in a deep dark corner of his mind (such as it is); though, as another poster pointed out, Shrub feels that any accomplishment made on his behalf, even by daddy's minions, if successful, is his own to claim credit for. Such a twisted little mind.

Still, he has precious little patience and right now, his fantasies of being "Master of the Earth" are being stymied--which very much does mean he's more dangerous now than ever. Plus, he's surrounded by vile and insane power lusting monsters like DICK Cheney--who are very capable of supporting and enabling any crackbrained (harebrained, maniacal, etc) that's creeping around in Shrub's corrupted**2, fevered little brain.

Congress must do their utmost to prevent him from attacking Iran. You have to know that Bushling must view Ahmadinejad as a pretentious, puny, little upstart--and how dare he fail to obey King George's commandments and bow down before the Great White Master of the World... "Heh, Heh, (smirk), I'll show them...", Georgie is thinking, and by "them", "He" means not only the Muslims/Iran, "He" means US... HOW DARE WE call him the "worst President ever"? HOW DARE WE give him "low approval ratings"? Who do we think we are, "judging" His Highness? After all, "He" has the power to run the debt well into the double digit Trillions (while giving it all to his own family and friends), as well as embroiling us in any foreign WARS he wants... to his heart's (heart?) content! "He" literally has nuclear weapons at his disposal...

The most any of us can do is "impeach" him after the fact--but even that would be incredibly hard to accomplish, since his Republican minions give their support mostly quite blindly. Besides, once we're involved in a "real" War, it's even harder to try to remove a President... and then too, once we are well and truly at War--the President has immense powers. No doubt he already has access to track every phone call made by anyone... He also has placed loyal minions in key positions in every government agency... Indeed, a serious War would be just the time to completely suspend all this "Democracy" nonsense (which he considers to be "just a charade" anyway)...

How dangerous, after all, is he?


**of course, relative to most of humanity, there is NO "good" Bush seed; shrub is just the worst of worst.
**2 as of "corruption" meaning rotted, spoiled, decomposed, putrefied...

10. yes -- apparently he even gripes when called "President Bush"

Because he doesn't want people to confuse him with his dad! It's "Mr. President" or else.

[Poiuyt]

11. He's even insulted when you call him "Sir"

I remember a press conference a couple of years ago when a reporter addressed him as "sir." Bush interrupted him and asked, "Who are you talking to?" The reporter caught himself and changed to "Mr. President."

I would have said, "I'm talking to YOU, asshole!"
