Kinda.
Sorta the way I remember when America was a democracy.
-
Imbecile
There's just no other word to describe the man.
-
That's our leader
mind numbing
-
He's a moron.
He's just a goddamned moron. There is no other description that fits.

the newsconference
I usually don't listen to these news conferences, because they're so demoralizing. I caught part of this one, this morning, and it was every bit as demoralizing as usual.
The man sounds like a wind-up toy, when he doesn't sound like an ignorant fool. I don't know what to think about him anymore. I expect he's actually a very confused and frightened human being, hiding carefully inside his manichean view of the world.
He never should have been appointed President. That was among the very worst things a corrupt Supreme Court has ever done.

Diplomacy
This is either a new direction in diplomacy for the Bush administration, or else John Bolton was sick the day they covered this in neocon school.
-
Mystery
The real mystery in all of this is who are the 29 percent in this country that still approve of this man's performance.

The shurb that talks
Bush should know from which he speaks, he uses that tactic with his famous smirk on a daily basis.

President Bush works out
Bush's doctors released the results of his latest physical exam yesterday. He's in the top 10 percentile of fitness for a 61 year-old man. His resting heart rate is 52. Yoga fitness freaks and marathon runners rarely get down to just ten beats a minute slower than that. Bush has 26 percent body fat. That's no marathon runner, but for a 61 year-old executive, that's a remarkable stat.
Bush is always working out. He's on the treadmill, he's on his bike, he's jogging, he's lifting weights. More than that, they say he sleeps a lot. He goes to bed at 8 p.m. most of the time. He takes a nap at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Bush doesn't bother with troublesome things. Bush doesn't really engage with the responsibilities of his office.
He works out instead.

He got his doctorate in Hearts & Souls.
I am not familiar with this “old boxing expression,” apparently from ye olde days of yore.
And Bush hasn’t challenged Iraq’s sovereignty. He just thinks Iraq’s duly elected leader Maliki 1) was misunderstood, 2) is lying or 3) is deluding himself. Totally different.
Remember, Bush has a degree in Hearts & Souls. After all, he looked Russia’s Putin in the eye and “was able to get a sense of his soul.” Certainly he’s qualified to diagnose what’s in Maliki’s “heart of heart.”
And it's "heart of hearts," you doink.

Sheehs, first Karzai, now Maliki .... where's the f*k'n gratitude for giving them their golden opportunities ....
Still, no one is addressing our arming (and paying) the Sunni tribesment to fight "al-Qaeda" over Maliki's objections and -- as far as I can tell -- without anyone else's blessing.
Funny how this is Petraeus' baby ... and that old Dave is the person unon whose watch all those thousands of weapons were disbursed never to be seen again ....
but, yeah, let's blame the iraqis.

Remember...
when Iraq was ruled by a dictator? Of course you don't.

Everyone remembers, tiberius
Especially the Iraqis, who are now calling them "the good old days". (You know, back when there was electricity, water, jobs, and you only had to worry about state-sponsored violence.)

I'm wondering how soon businesses are going to start passing on the costs of administering (in earnest)
this new going-after-the-employers "illegal immigrant" program.
The "Ethanol" created corn shortage and the "high gas prices" have already dented grocery budgets considerably ... When /if supermarkets, restaurant and assorted other business have to deal with a genuine labor shortage, having to pay higher wages AND deal with this greater "enforcement" ... it's may be a camel-back-breaking since most everyone uses those facilities (supermarkets and fastfood).
Well managed and "honorable" businesses will take less of a hit ... but I fear the impact will be seismic on the "look-the-other-way" employers who will get the triple-whammy of losing trained workers and trying to hire only the verifiably genuinely documented and then finally, for some, dealing with prosecution.
The lawyers will do very well.

Remember Mickey Mouse in Fantasia as the Sorcerer's Apprentice?
He commands the broom to do his chore of filling the water trough, then goes to sleep and dreams about being a great wizard with mighty powers, only to wake up to a flood that he can't stop because he doesn't know the command to make the broom stop filling the trough. George Bush reminds me of that, frantically racing around trying to reverse the mess that he's made by eliminating Sunni rule in Iraq and in the process handing Iran a huge gift: a Shi'ite led theocracy that will ally itself with them instead of opposing them the way Saddam did. Bush never thought through that consequence of deposing Saddam, even though he was warned about it by anyone with basic knowledge of the region. So now he's frantically running in circles like Mickey Mouse, trying to bail out the floodwater and stop the broom from marching stolidly along on its task. Too bad there's no master wizard to come home and clean up the mess for him, although that's what the next president will have to try to do.

@tiberius, you're an embarrassment to yourself

So, what about it, Tiberius? Do you recall Iraq under Saddam? Not a lovely place, but you could walk the streets in relative safety, read a book at night by something other than candlelight, drink clean water, carry on something like a normal life. Have a job, get paid, eat, sleep, live, in some kind of security. Your relatives weren't being shot on sight, blown up in car-bombs, or otherwise targeted by any one of a 100 or more rogue militias.
Tell us, Tiberius, when would you like to be a Sunni in Sadr City? During Saddam's rule, or now? Tell us. We'd really like to hear.
A majority of Iraqis would take Saddam back right now, over what we've done to their country. What about that?
And, by the way, naming yourself after a great Roman general, who, one assumes, had some basic intelligence, is, at best, deceptive marketing. At worst, pathetic.

Bush, Maliki & Ahmadinejad
One is a retard with super strength
One is a crook
One is a cab driving nutcase
If all three countries switched leaders no one would see the difference.
