Bush has the SMALL TALK SYNDROME and its finally taken its toll.
All he ever does is take serious subjects and turn it into small shit...worse, he tells us shit we already know....

Just like in Cheers, or the Lounge Act, he keeps the discussion at the small talk level...because, thats his level...

No wonder The Real Leaders from Abroad shake their heads in amazement as he tries to make do with the good ole boy routine.

His Poll numbers are just above the 20's...hovering around 31%....his handlers are going bonkers trying to shore him up but Bush keeps shooting himself in both feet and the kneecaps as well.

Can we believe this guy told them Vietnamese...if we had stayed we woulda kicked ass.....Damn, this boy cannot think...

3. Chimp at World Summit (A one act play):
Edited on Thu Nov-23-06 04:49 PM by RUMMYisFROSTED
Dignified World Leader: Mr. Bush, I hope we can come to accord on international human rights.

Chimp (smirking) : I like Cheetos. (revolving line)

Dignified World Leader (shuffling frantically away) : Pardon me....Mr. Abe, hold up! I have important matters to discuss!

14. Indonesia is big, too - and being a president is hard work
Q I would like to ask you -- as you mentioned before, Indonesia now is growing toward democratization, and how do you think the process of democratization in Indonesia -- the progress of democratization is going? And I have a second question.

PRESIDENT BUSH: How many do you get to ask here in Indonesia?

Q Excuse me?

PRESIDENT BUSH: How many questions do you get to ask? (Laughter.) Keep firing away. You're just setting a bad example for the American press corps. (Laughter.)

Q Well, lots of Indonesians think that you have a hidden agenda going here --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Oh, yes?

Q -- such as securing your Exxon deal in Natuna. And what is your comment on that?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, we didn't discuss it. No, we did not discuss it. You asked about Indonesian democracy -- here's living proof, right here. He ran a campaign; he said, vote for me, I will do the following things; he's following through on his promises. The elections were open, the elections were clean, the elections were fair. And you elected a good President, who is working hard to -- in a tough job. I don't think the American people understand how big Indonesia is -- 17,000 islands, 6,000 of them inhabited, with a variety of demographics. The President kindly hosted a meeting today with civil society leaders, which points up to the diversity of this great nation -- different religions, different backgrounds, different people, all united under a democratic -- under a democracy.

And so I would say your progress is very good. But we all have work to do in our respective democracies. Our transition to democracy wasn't all that smooth in America. If you study American history, we had some rough go for a while. And it's hard work to make sure the institutions are sound so that people can live in a free society that's based upon the rule of law. But the President is committed to it, and he's working hard to it, and I would say you're making good progress.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/11/20061120-4.html


Yep, being a president is hard work. And I'm an excellent driver. In fact, this scene from 'Rain Man' now seems to prefigure the Bush Elder/Junior relationship:

Raymond: I'm an excellent driver.
Charlie: When did you drive?
Raymond: I drove slow on the driveway when my dad came to Walbrook.
Charlie: Was Dad in the car?
Raymond: Yeah.
Charlie: I'll have to let you drive sometime.
(Raymond grabs the wheel and nearly steers them into an oncoming car)
Charlie: Raymond, you NEVER! NEVER touch the steering wheel when I'm driving. Do you hear me? Do you hear me?

15. "if we had stayed we woulda kicked ass"
He did stay...clinging to barb's boobs. The national weenie still ain't weaned yet I don't think.

Some are born to kick ass and some to lick ass...bush ran away from the ass kicking part in 1972...

Now W's screaming DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY PLEASE! Save me again from my silly bullshit! And his daddy being a piss poor wimpy parent that he is, will refuse once again to let the fool pay for his ignorance. No wonder Junior is stupid.

And a little shot of Chute too, if they can get it.



The GOP is conjuring up an even worse disaster than Bush has been, next election. Bubble bubble toil and twouble if they win(cheat)again in 08! Maybe the new dem congress can undo Newt and the neocon's 12 years of dirt and put the skids to the royal ape.

27. he said McCain was "saved" by the Vietnamese who fished him out of the water
and took him captive.

He repeats his stuff over and over as if just saying it makes it true. To some extent it was as good as truth for Americans for years. Now . . . ?

most countries will decline to host him anymore. Just my opinion. As an American I won't even be offended because I'm tired of being embarrassed by him and his family.

40. True -- and how about this one from Condi?
(Referring to the Israeli conflict)-- The reason we have war is because there is an absence of peace.

It is MIND-BOGGLING the Secretary of State could actually make a statement like that to the world on live television.

Not-so-great minds think (and talk) alike.

Edited on Fri Nov-24-06 10:30 PM by Minnesota_Lib
...uses a condescending tone as if speaking to children when explaining even the most simplistic issue or concept to his audience. She guessed that it is not so much him thinking his audience is stupid as it is him just aping the tone taken by his aids when they explained the issue to him.

Makes sense to me. :D

43. "Yes, I'm terribly sorry that we didn't STAY
here in Vietnam and Kill Each and Every One of YOU, but those 'cut and run' Democrats let YOU LIVE..Hyuk, Hyuk, Hyuk"

He immediately ran over to the ruler of Vietnam, grabbed him in a headlock and gave him furious Noogies, then offered in return for the leader to give him an "Atomic Wedgie" in the interests of Diplomacy..

What an ass.. Diplomacy is what he got bought for him by daddy, and they are hanging on the walls, along with his "Honorable Discharge" which was no doubt purchased off the internets :)

You PEGGED him Opi, Nailed him to the wall..
