...this man is a complete buffon. There was a post somewhere regarding the Supremes decision this week that you should find a "principled" Nader voter and thank them.

Do you think he knows that Harry Potter is fiction?

where he might just be able to do some good for the world. Advising people on the color scheme of the Persian for their living room is that absolute limit of contact that man should ever be permitted with the culture of the Middle East.

... One of my concerns is that the health care not be as good as it can possibly be.

Mission Accomplished!

I'm surprised he didn't have a "Jump to Conclusions" mat made.

No, the "Jump to Conclusions" apparatus would be the trampoline at the White House gym where he spends most of his time cultivating a buff body so that he'll look good in the photo ops while standing on that beautiful rug.

were offered to me as a therapist in a school setting I would get him committed ASAP.

Guess his cell at GITMO will need padding.

For crying out loud, he asked you WHAT COLOR rug you wanted. Not, could you please design me a rug for use in the Oval Office.

Yep, I'm sure this is the way W has been running our country. Don't actually listen, just jump to conclusions and then run with it, never never never backing down.

The fact that George went on to such extent about his great marriage made me wonder if what the tabloids say is true: that the Bushes plan on divorcing six months after he leaves office. I can picture Michele "Hot Lips" Bachmann waiting in the wings.

- On his marriage: "And I will tell you, one reason -- this may sound counterintuitive, but a good marriage is really good after serving together in Washington, D.C. It's been an amazing experience to be a husband and then a dad as president of the United States. I emphasize, that is the priority for me as the president. It's my faith, my family, and my country...." -

If the goddamned President can't put the nation ahead of his own interests, really, why should anybody else?

I'm starting to think he likes talking about that bloody rug because it's an apt metaphor for how he's treated the rest of us (non-Bush Pioneers) for the past six years.

Lousy carpet pisser.

At what point do we give up on the 30% of the population that still support this obviously brain damaged sociopath? I find this more troubling in the long run. Anyone?

Is there any more proof needed that it is time to end higher education legacy admissions?

Do the chicken pluckers know what he's talking about? No one else does. Maybe the 27% of folks who respond "Yes, I Approve" when asked their feelings about Bush's presidency are chicken pluckers.

It would explain a lot of the chicken plucking ideas and chicken plucking decisions that have our country -- the United States of America! -- trapped in a chicken plucking war against a fourth rate chicken plucking third world country. All for our own good. To keep us -- and our chickens -- safe. Well, thanks George, you old chicken plucking chicken plucker. Thanks a lot. Heck of a job.

If this was his idea of how to address high school students (that is, as grade-schoolers), the whole student body should have felt insulted. Had anyone talked down to my high school that way, there might evan have been some heckles and boos, followed, of course, by the inevitable bouts of detentions, parent-teacher conferences, etc., and we would have been doing rug jokes and Dubya imitations for the next month to break each other up in class.

I don't know, maybe times have changes.

Heaven help us, he put more thought into this "rug decision" than the decision to go to war! For the rug, he admitted he knew nothing about such matters and asked for help. For the rug, he considered what statement the rug would make to others.

The war, not so much.

Still worse, he totally missed the boat in the "rug question." RDisdier is absolutely right—he was asked to pick a color, not come up with a design.

Bush brought up the rug "to talk about strategic thought." He wanted to show us how his brain works. And I've gotta say, it scares the crap out me. That rug is dusty and of shoddy craftsmanship.

Or to take his rug analogy even further, the rug is in serious need of steam cleaning. The country, the world is choking on its dust. As the Rug Doctor slogan goes we’re "Steaming mad at dirt!"

Perhaps what we really need is a "No President Left Behind" program.

Duh... Does any part of this drivel make any sense whatsoever?

Don't Tread On Me:

And yes, if I had to listen to that while in high school, I would have grit my teeth through the whole thing. What an utter embarrassment to everyone except the 30-percenters.

Neogeo, you gotta start printing the bumper stickers and t-shirts!

So the leader of a secular nation puts his "faith" (well documented as an armageddon loving form of fundamentalism) two full notches above his country.

It's amazing to be "a husband and then a dad as president of the United States" Did Laura give birth while he was in office? Considering when his presidency began, there is no sequence here, so he must be talking about prioritizing. So when we look at the Faith, Family, Country priotity list, we have to see that he considers himself to be:

1st - A Christian

2nd - A Husband

3rd - A Father

4th - Leader of the Free World

When asked the color rug he would like, he frets about that he lacks knowledge of "rug design"? Ah but he does want it to say "optimistic person comes to work" That statement doesn't scan and has got to be the most awkward possible way to convey the half-assed sentiment he's going for.

Incidentaly, I want a government program that gives me a dollar for every time the idiot child-emperor utters the phrase "In other words..." Just pick the right words the first time, you hack!

Well, he told us what victory does not mean "no suiciders[sic]" so . . . what does victory mean?

It is apparently a far finer thing to make your decisions on a consistent set of principles rather than on a consistent respect for pertinent facts and information.

How did this guy survive long enough to become president? Surely he should have stuck his tongue in a light socket by now.
