Least Presidential

Sounds about right. How did anyone ever see leadership in that guy? All I see is arrogance, reflecting his spoiled upbringing.

Not so surprising

Gross incompetence will do that to delusional bubbleheads.

What IS he doing?

Isn't he planning on losing in Iraq and putting the blame on Democrats?

Did they ask for their money back?

Those "big money players" thought if they set Bush up for a presidential run he would be an amiable figurehead like Ronald Reagan was. Instead they got..., well, you know.

Tired of his job?

Driving home yesterday after reading again about the search for the War Czar, it occurred to me that Bush is just tired of being president. He's bored. The job is harder than he expected and takes a lot of energy. He'd rather be out cutting brush or whatever the hell it is he does. He'd rather be hangin' out with the good ol' boys on the ranch. He just wants to shake people's hands and tell 'em they're doin' a heckuva job.

I've always said he would've made a great baseball commissioner. A great gladhander. That is about the extent of his talent.

Impeach

Now. Didja see where the California Democrats voted to impeach? Man I love this state (except for Schwarzenegger who is a big oaf).

Bush as baseball Commish

I have a confession to make. Back in the day when it was suggested that Bush might replace Selig as baseball commissioner, I thought: "oh please Lord, no. He'll really mess up the game. He's not fit to be baseball commissioner."

Who knew that the good Lord would answer that prayer and leave W free to become governor of Texas and then President? It's my fault.

While I am apologizing for fucking up the cosmos, I'd also like to apologize to Mike Mussina for messing up his no-hitter in Boston by saying to my wife "Honey, come watch! One more strike and Moose's got a no hitter!" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, Carl Everett hit that bloop single.

mea culpa

As they said...

...back before 9/11, when people were still permitted to really make fun of Bush: "Presidenting is hard." He probably thought it was just going to be about launching cruise missile strikes and giving pardons to turkeys.

The Final Days...

Just you wait. Before long, he'll be wandering the halls at night and talking to the paintings.

But not to worry. Condi Rice will be at his side, holding his hand, telling him how great he is and how the people just don't understand true leadership when they see it.....

Don't cha love. . .

the two sides to this story?

The attendees talk about W ranting and whining.

W twists it for public consumption to tell us yet again how decisive and "inspired" he is.

Who were these "big players"?

I'd like to know the names of these sobs so the American people can sue them shitless. They're the ones who financed his campaign and made him a candidate. They're probably the ones who told him to invade Iraq for whatever reasons, probably financial, to their benefit.

My husband has always said there was a Texas Mafia that supports the idiot. This proves it.
