  • Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?

    I'm hunin' wabbits!

  • Sheesh

    What a maroon.

  • "Why is he at large?" "Because we haven't caught him yet."

    You just know that if a reporter had asked, "Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden yet?" Bush would have responded, "Because he's still at large, Jim."

  • O M G

    Jim, Jim, Jim. Yer such a ninny. I'm tellin' ya that today's Thursday 'cause yesterday was Wednesday! Boy oh boy - what's it gonna take to get through to ya??!? And another thing - tomorrow is Friday, so don't even ask!

  • I wonder..

    what the President's rabid supporters in places like LGF make of him when he says things like this. I really wonder. Do they think it's cute? Do they know he's missing a few bricks but don't care? Or do they know something about GW we don't?

    I could almost imagine some rural southerner responding like that to some yankee question about the weather, ya know? It's as if Bush is deliberately yanking reporters when he does this...as if to say "I can treat you like an idiot and you don't have the balls to call me on it."

    I think it's far more likely that's what's going on, than the Prez is the idiot.

    Looking back on the last six years, folks, who is the bigger idiot in the room, the reporters who swallowed this shit, or the guy who was shovelling it?

  • That goldarned Osama bin Laden . . . he's a-hidin' out!!

    If he would just stand up like a man . . . and let us get a bead on his turbanned noggin, I do believe we could blow his haid clean off!!!

    But he don't! And he won't!!

    He keeps his head down and his mouth shut, as fer as I kin tell.

    It's kinda like back when we wuz at war with 'em Viet Kongs . . . Georgie boy hid 'hind his Daddy's skirts and kept his haid down low hidin' out in the TANG - and them Kongs never did get a clean shot at his ass . . . and Osama's a-doing the 'xact same thing.

  • Iraq: a new place to train Al Qaeda killers, courtesy of Halliburton and Cheney/Rove.

    Bush's original comment came while U.S. forces in Afghanistan were searching for the Al Qaeda leader, who had eluded joint American-Afghan military operations designed to find him.

    "We haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is," Bush said during the 2002 news conference. "I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run.

    "I was concerned about him when he had taken over a country," Bush continued. "I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban. But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became - we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his Al Qaeda killers anymore."

  • Why, we already know why

    Silly, Jim, Bush already told us why Bin Laden's still at large:

    "You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with you." and "I truly am not that concerned about him."

    -President Bush, March 2002

  • Karl, Meet Osama

    Complete and utter bullshit. The reason bin Laden is still at large is because the GOP power structure WANTS him at large. That's why the effort to find him has been so halfhearted and half-assed: because he serves a much greater purpose for Bush as a convenient bogeyman who can jump up and go "booga booga!" whenever anyone questions the necessity of the endless, worthless war on terror.

    Bin Laden and al Qaeda still operate because our government finds them useful. That's the only reason, to scare us into submission.

    Why haven't we impeached and imprisoned this piece of shit?

  • Incoherent

    There's no other word for the man considered the "Leader of the Free World" -- INCOHERENT.

    He's the kind of person who makes the religious pray "May God help us all" -- and makes atheists and agnostics alike start to hope there IS a God who actually WILL...

  • Man, what a bozo.

    Osama been hiden' cause Bush been dodgin' the need to go where he is: Our ally, Pakastan.

  • On behalf of Southerners

    Dubya is a Connecticut cowboy. A Yankee. A carpetbagger raised in the finest schools. All hat, no cattle.

    His Dumb Hick Act is just that - an act.

    The hick part, I mean. The dumb part is genuine. Possibly inbred.

  • Something fishy's going on...

    As astutely pointed out by mizbinkley, Bush keeps changing his tune on the whereabouts of, and efforts to find, one Mr. Bin Laden. Clearly, the guy knows more than he's telling us. So what's the solution? How do we get him to be straight with us?

    Waterboard him! Send him to be tortured in Egypt! Lock him in Guantanamo for three and a half years or so! Do it now! Don't allow him an attorney, don't let Congress or any of the Executive Branch intervene; all that does is embolden the terrorists. Don't allow him a phone call! Phone calls embolden the terrorists! (No emails, either -- emails italicize the terrorists! Carrier pigeons strikethrough the terrorists, but not in the way you want.)

  • This is Business. Funny Business

    His Daddy and Uncle Preston are in business with the Bin Laden family and the Saudi royals. Maybe that's why Brother Osama hasn't been caught. His neice has stated publicly several times that there are members of the family who know where Uncle Osama is and these family members funnel money to him and his organization. The Saudi Royal Family has been paying off extremists to keep away from their kingdom for years. The Bushes are aware of this.

    To quote another Warner cartoon character-- "this is dispicable'.

  • Presidents

    Wow, this one is not only the worst but also the most observant idiot ever.

  • Why is the sky blue?

    Because it's not any of the other colors of the rainbow.

  • Hmmm.

    So he's at large because he's at large.

    Wow.

  • Why's he at large?

    'cause we ain't where he's at. He's somewheres else!

  • "Why are my pants wet?"

    "'Cause I pissed in 'em, Jim! That's why. And it's uncomfortable. And I'll continue taking questions in this urine-soaked Brioni until Rove brings me a replacement and a new pair of Underoos(TM). I've got a lot of pants I haven't pissed in yet, but not these. That's why I've got this big ol' patch of yellow up front."
