January day when we saw him leaving th White House onbard Marine ONe. The rest is crap. And we minded people should PBEGG HIM to STAYFOREVER inactive. At least he would be useful that way.

expertise on torture vs. enhanced interrogation techniques. The CIA could try out different methods on him and he can tell them which ones are torture and which are merely enhanced interrogation.

What would be most fitting would be to sentence Georgie and Mr. Evil to share a cell. Now that would be torture for both. LOL.

it's cool with him. I think if someone took away Karl's voodoo dolls, he would be lost.

I'd send them through over and over until they crack.

I know who would crack first too.

Cheney. No doubt.

Mainly because Dubya would be singing along.

16. Savant syndrome...
Sat Apr 12, 2014, 09:00 PM
Apr 2014

For all those years I and many other people wondered what was going on in little George's head and wondered, indeed, if anything was going on in there at all, especially when he spoke or walked or tried to do things normal people do. Then this.

The other day, looking at some of George's "portraits" of world leaders, I noticed a striking resemblance between his self-portrait and, of course, Alfred E, Newman. Then the thought came to me that he was mentally challenged all along, an idiot savant on the low end of the scale of those affected with the savant syndrome.

I have to disagree. GW has no savant abilities. Certainly painting isn't one. The Alfred E. Newman resemblance is a given, and I agree about "low end of the scale." But George W. Bush was, and still is, only a stupid, incurious, inarticulate little man. The only thing slightly about average about him is the size of his ego.
