"I'll take substance anyday."

And you voted for Bush? HAHAHAHAHA

Yet another Bushbot confession.

My god, Bush sounds even more incoherent when transcribed...

@Commander Ogg

Maybe I read his post wrong, but it seems like Commander Ogg (and to a certain extent Manhattanite, too), was complaining about the MSM giving Bush a free pass, AND complaining about Tim Grieve giving Bush a hard time "for nothing" because there's "nothing we can do about it." Given the conclusion Mr. Ogg comes to, its seems like he advocates giving Bush a free pass for the duration of what's left of his term. Since we can't do anything, why bother, right? Stop paying any attention, just stick our heads in the sand for two more years. That makes a lot of sense.

My advice to people like Manhattanite and Commander Ogg is that if you don't give a shit anymore, fine, don't read War Room. But for those of us who DO think this is still important, who enjoy reading Tim Grieve, and derive a certain amount of entertainment out of this, let us have our fun. Don't come here and accuse US of wasting OUR time! I think it's you guys, with all your pent up nihilism, who need to get a life.

Is Bush admitting to being a terrorist now?

"I vowed that, 'If you harbor a terrorist, you're equally as guilty as the terrorist.' That's a doctrine."

"New Yorker columnist Sy Hersh says the U.S. has been “pumping money, a great deal of money, without congressional authority, without any congressional oversight” for covert operations in the Middle East where it wants to “stop the Shiite spread or the Shiite influence.” Hersh says these funds have ended up in the hands of “three Sunni jihadist groups” who are “connected to al Qaeda” but “want to take on Hezbollah.”

So now Bush is finally admitting that he's a terrorist, right?

Someone please send this five-year-old in a tie back to Crawford wher he can play with his toy soldiers, his LEGO blocks, and scrub a little brush.

What was the point

of this post Mr. Grieve? That Mr. Bush has the intellectual curiosity of a carrot? I knew that. That he can not string two coherent sentences together? I and the rest of reality based community know that too. That the lapdog Media give him a free pass? That has been apparent for the last 6 f*cking years.

Without a supermajority in both chambers, the D's in Congress can impeach Commander Codpiece but they can not convict. We are stuck with this dumbsh*t for approximately 1 year, 9 months and 10 days, and there is nothing in the Universe we can do about it.

Another HUGE gaffe by Bush

After marveling that the U.S. and Japan could be strong allies after World War II, Bush extended his amazement to the next conflict this way (copied from the official White House transcript of his visit to the American Legion post today):

"How about after the Korean War? Some of you are Korean vets, I know. I bet it would have been hard for you to predict, if you can think back to the early '50s, to predict that an American President would say that we've got great relations with South Korea, great relations with Japan, that China is an emerging marketplace economy, and that the region is peaceful. This is a part of the world where we lost thousands of young American soldiers, and yet there's peace."

The Current Occupant obviously doesn't know that we were allied to South Korea after World War II, during the Korean conflict, and ever since. Why then should we be surprised that he knew almost NOTHING about Iraq's history, religious divisions, etc. as he led us into that charming war of choice, since he knows just as little about our OWN history?

We're being led by arguably the most ignorant man who ever occupied the White House. Worst. President. Ever.

Why, why, why?

is this man still in charge of the country? I was feeling a bit better and then I saw my senator, Carl Levin, on tv Sunday morning saying, when Bush vetoes the bill they sent him, they'll remove the pullout stipulations and send it back to him. Jesus Christ!!!!!

So Bad He Could Have Written it Himself

I do not recall seeing in my lifetime such a jumbled mass of non sequiturs in one speech.

Are all of the adult speechwriters at the White House still on Easter vacation? Is the crafter of such rubbish a college intern from some fourth-tier Bible school, like Monica Goodling's alma mater?

Or, is it just possible that The Decider scribbled this incoherent laundry list on the back of an envelope while sitting in his motorcade on the way to the nearby venue in Virginia, sort of like Abraham Lincoln did when on the train to Gettysburg?

Just two slight differences: Lincoln could (1) think and (2) write.

Is this speech a harbinger of an imminent mental and emotional collapse? If so, now is the time to dust off the XXV Amendment and the Presidential Succession Act, for we may now be seeing clear signs of an "inability" to fulfill the duties of office.

As the president speaks...the nation is embarrassed

Someone once said "President Bush's speeches are a powerful encouragement to the disabled." In other words HE made a success of himself.

This is exasperating

Bush is an idiot. There's no nice way to say it. And if you voted for him, you are either an idiot, a fool, or a sucker. Again, there's no nice way to say it.

In his word, in other words:

"I vowed that, 'If you harbor a terrorist, you're equally as guilty as the terrorist' ".

So if any lemming were to take him for his "word", citizens of Pakastan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan (not to mention his next target, Iran) should be getting a pee rings right about now. What an idoit.

Paging all moon flight passengers…

You folks are all missing the message. Bart Howard was just hired (posthumously) as a new Bush speechwriter. This is part of his latest communications “shtratergy”. It was just a coded message to his remaining supporters reminding them that he still loves them:

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

IN OTHER WORDS hold my hand

IN OTHER WORDS darling kiss me

Fill my life with song

And let me sing forevermore

You are all I hope for

All I worship and adore

IN OTHER WORDS please be true

IN OTHER WORDS I love you

repeat 2nd verse, then repeat 1st verse

Words and music By Bart Howard
