When Bush went to Ohio on Thursday to talk about terrorism, he ended up musing about marriage and chicken-plucking plants, the agony of death and his Oval Office rug, which resembles a sunburst.

...

Some highlights:


"Politics comes and goes, but your principles don't. And everybody wants to be loved -- not everybody. ... You never heard anybody say, 'I want to be despised; I'm running for office."'

"The best thing about my family is my wife. She is a great first lady. I know that sounds not very objective, but that's how I feel. And she's also patient. Putting up with me requires a lot of patience."

"There are jobs Americans aren't doing. ... If you've got a chicken factory, a chicken-plucking factory, or whatever you call them, you know what I'm talking about."

"There are some similarities, of course" between Iraq and Vietnam. "Death is terrible."

"I've been in politics long enough to know that polls just go poof at times."


As he has before, Bush told the story about how his first presidential decision was to pick a rug for the Oval Office, a task he quickly cast to his wife. He told her to make sure the rug reflected optimism, "because you can't make decisions unless you're optimistic that the decisions you make will lead to a better tomorrow."

Later, when he talked about his hope for succeeding in Iraq, Bush said, "Remember the rug?"

1. Unless he planned to talk about how he's terrorized women...

...I believe his "terra" speech was incomplete.

4. There's a bright side though...

...he didn't make any comments about gynecologists practicing
their love...we should all be thankful.

3. Man....

...how long was Junior out when he choked on that pretzel?

Judging from these blatherings, I'm thinking that he was on the floor
for most of the night, and they found him in the morning and somehow
revived him after several hours without oxygen.

11. I believe it.

The fool doesn't make a lick of sense.

Drain bamage.

[Faux pas]

14. LOL priceless! Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read it.

Thanks for the laugh. :)

5. Putting up with him creates a lot of patients.

[Vickers]

6. He is so fucking stupid.

It's mind-boggling how idiotic he is.

[wake.up.america]

7. Let's pull the rug out from under his policies..

8. "Death is terrible".

Deep, George. That's...deep.

[saltpoint]

17. It IS deep. Why, who among us has even THOUGHT such a thing?

[Berry Cool]

18. That one will go down along with all the other Bush-isms.

Ranks right up there with Brooke Shields' "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."

Of course, she was a kid back then.

[saltpoint]

21. Yep. We can give Brooke a pass, but this Dubya fellow's supposed to

be a grown-up president and everything.

10. Compulsive Stupidity...he is at that LEVEL...His mind is that of a child....sorry kids....

[Hieronymus]

12. Was it Ohio where he spoke to a high school audience

scaring hell out of them about terror?:boring:

[saltpoint]

13. If we have a chicken-plucking factory, we'll know what he means?

Maybe the president was shooting for some kind of agricultural prophecy there. Who knows?

Also, that would limit the few who could understand his message, wouldn't it?

How many people -- total, raw numbers -- OWN chicken-plucking factories?

Should those of us who don't aspire to? It doesn't sound like something I'd be especially good at.

Well, anyway, what a treat for those Ohioans to hear the presidents remarks.

15. ...frantically twisting decoder ring....

Nope...still can't get this to make any sense. :shrug:

[GreenTea]

16. Keep up the fear and they can get away with anything. They know it - But do you?

Fear is what makes it tick, like clock work...when one sees though the bullshit...it's over, and all that's left is their obvious fascism and profit grabbing...Still, many don't or refuse to see.

And the purposely fed distortions goes on as does the profit and control.

19. I never knew Bush's motto before......

"Remember the Rug". Will that be what goes down in history, something like "Remember the Maine". That man is totally demented, I'm convinced of that.

20. Poof!
