Poll question: Is Bush a clueless puppet or is he the puppeteer? |
|
I've long suspected that Junior's witless Reagan routine is just a cover, and that Evil Karl and Evil Dick, talented though they may be, are basically two in a long train of BFEE henchmen whose job descriptions include taking a bullet for Precious whenever he decides they've served they're purpose.
What do you think?

1. He's "an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill." |

And it surely describes Reagan, Ahnold, Sarah Palin, and all those robotic House republicans, but I don't think it describes Junior. I doubt that he likes being thought of as stupid, but he has ways of relieving stress when it gets to him (see 9/11).

2. Bush is not clueless, nor a dolt. Those that believe he is may be the dolts. |

The Bushes have a 110-year history at the highest levels of finance & politics.

These guys are pros and they know all about plausible deniability. And if anybody but Bushler was running the show we wouldn't have racked up eight years of one horrific disaster after another.

6. This particular Bush *is* a clueless dolt (but one who still takes orders). |
|
The likes of GHWB (daddy) are very smart and very deadly. No disagreement there at all.
Given the number of time that they've wriggled out of the sh*t, I wouldn't even call Neil or Jeb Bush clueless but George W ...?
He is the poster child for fetal alcohol syndrome combined with a dash of inbred moronity.
If it wasn't for his family, he would be nothing - probably a dead nothing by now given how easily he f*cks up.
:shrug:

9. Well, apart from the cocaine, the alcohol, the illiteracy, the incoherence, ... |
|
... the idiocy (doors anyone?) there's the inability to comprehend & deliver even a simple scripted joke ("Fool me once ..."), the desertion from the National Guard, the dumb-shit approach to "diplomacy" ("Yo Blair" and the neck-rub) ...
No, this isn't just someone following an act, this is a complete and utter imbecile who can't even walk the straight line being laid down for him by his masters (including his father). This is not a trained ape, this is a natural moron.
I can see what you're driving at but totally disagree: some people can act, others are just retarded. You've had an actor as a president, now you've had a retard (twice).
