Don't Stop Him Even If You've Heard This One
With a Wink and a Nudge, President Bush Is Turning Into a Stand-Up Kind of Guy

President Bush is telling another audience that the Social Security system is in great distress, and there will be ghastly consequences if our leaders don't act, and act now.

But first, a little joke:........



......Bush often appears with an "expert" who supports his Social Security plan -- some adviser, professor or smarty-pants whom the president likes to use as a foil to contrast with his own academic record. "I'm a C-student," Bush said proudly in Louisville last week. "He's the PhD. He's the adviser. I'm the president. What does that tell you?"

Bush has always liked to project a common-folk demeanor, but only occasionally mentioned his slacker past during his first term. Now his repertoire includes frequent references to how he paid little attention in class while in college.........

[FloridaPat]

1. It tells me there is something very wrong in this country that we can

even have someone as corrput and evil as Bush even in government service at all, let alone elected as president.

[Binka]

2. What A Fucking Twit

Put a ball on his nose and let him eat some raw fish. Arck Arck Arck.

[livetohike]

3. Maybe he should try his routine at the Comedy Store

He reminds me of some 60's era-had too much to drink-I think I'm funny-why don't you? -type of character.

[annabanana]

4. "don know much about history........"

I'm so sick of seeing stupidity and ignorance championed as American Common Sense.

[Rose Siding]

5. What does that tell me?

"He's the PhD. He's the adviser. I'm the president. What does that tell you?"

That your passive aggression is waging a very public war with your hatred of education?

[Theres-a]

12. YES!

[SupormomFreeAtLast]

17. Great Observation

What a wonderful example he sets for our children.
:wtf:

[HarveyBrooks]

25. Isn't this the guy...

that said he lied about his drunk driving & drug abuse because he didn't want kids following his bad examples?
Yet he seems proud & pleased as punch to brag about being a slacker.

[catzies]

26. Good catch and welcome to DU!

:hi:

[trogdor]

18. "What does that tell me?"

"He's the PhD. He's the adviser. I'm the president. What does that tell you?"

That Karl Rove's marketing team did a really, really good job of pulling the wool over our eyes?

[MisterP]

24. that he's a poop-flinging chimp not qualified to blow his own nose?

[kiki]

27. Ah, but don't forget...

...the fact that right-wingers are massively underrepresented in academic circles is proof of:

a: The fact that right-wingers generally aren't very bright?

b: The rampant liberal homo-communist agenda in every single one of America's universities!

[Rose Siding]

6. "In a session with European print reporters last month..."

snip>
In a session with European print reporters last month, Bush seemed compelled to tell a German journalist named Klaus, mid-interview, that "my roommate in college, by the way, was named Dieter."

Klaus replied by asking the president whether he thinks the "transatlantic relationship" would require an "institutional overhaul."

[jdj]

48. I guess Dieter spanked the monkey, then. n/t

[gauguin57]

7. And now, opening for Cedric the Entertainer here at the ...

Yuk-Yuk Shack ... the comedy stylings of Georgie Bush!

He makes me vomit. Let's look under the couch for the WMDs again, can we, huh? Can we, George!?

[Straight Shooter]

8. Heh heh heh.

Your sense of humor is as lame as your sense of decency.

Go away, bush, you bother me.

Loved the seal joke! :D

[ConcernedCanuk]

9. " I'm the president. What does that tell you?"

hmmm


lemme think real hard now . . :freak:

thinking . :freak:

.

REALLY thinking . :freak:

.

Murikkka's got too many dumb voters?? :shrug:


Sorry, best I could come up with on short notice . .

:silly:

[oneighty]

10. And the PHD

adviser stands there with a lopsided shit eating grin cause that is what he just did. Ate shit.

He ought to be ashamed of himself. But no, the shit tastes so good and will lead him to greatness.

180

[FourStarDemocrat]

11. Remember the looking for WMDs under the couch one?

How we could even have someone in office, let alone a President getting away with that is beyond me. If it were Kerry who made that sick piece of footage he would have been skewered right away.

[Protagoras]

13. It lets Bush connect with the

average IQ that's voting for him.

[quinnox]

14. Every day Bush finds a new way to further embarrass the U.S.

Jeezus

[Toucano]

15. But did he let you touch his monkey?

from the article:

In a session with European print reporters last month, Bush seemed compelled to tell a German journalist named Klaus, mid-interview, that "my roommate in college, by the way, was named Dieter."

Klaus replied by asking the president whether he thinks the "transatlantic relationship" would require an "institutional overhaul."

What a boob!

[GiovanniC]

16. "I'm a C-Minus Student and a Fucking Moron!"

"Even my daddy's name couldn't get me better than a C-Minus. Fuck, do you know how goddamned dumb you have to be to have the name George Bush and STILL not be able to get better than a C-Minus average? Let me tell you: really goddamned dumb.

By the way, now that I'm on the subject... did you know that I'm dumber than a fucking sack of bricks, that my mind is completely shot from all the times I snorted blow off the tits of hookers in Cancun, and... my favorite... I have a tail! What does that tell you? Does it tell you that the motherfucking apocolypse is upon us? Because it is! It really is!"

[GetTheRightVote]

19. ring, ring, bells on his toes

:kick:

[0007]

20. The homeless, the jobless, the hungry are getting a big bang

out of this creep that even mocked Carla Fay Tucker when he was Governor of Texas. "I don't wanna die" A real classless asshole.

And we wonder why the world hates Amerika!

[Algomas]

21. Bush to America- "Pull my finger, yuk,yuk,yuk"

[Arkana]

22. Yeah, George--you're just a yokel

who don't know much 'bout nuthin.

All it proves is that he had a rich daddy and rich friends who were able to install his sniveling ass as President.

[Hobarticus]

23. You're POTUS because of your daddy's name, asshat...

If not for them, you'd be exploring management opportunities in the fast-food industry.

Didn't they say that about Sr.? Born on third, and thought he hit a triple?

[Lindacooks]

28. What does that tell you??

That you stole the election, you fucking idiot chimp.

[Dudley_DUright]

29. What it tells me is that Bush would be incapable earning something

through intelligence and hard work, like for example, a Ph.D.

[TOOLZ]

30. That's why he wants to be the Education President, because he has none.

[uppityperson]

31. Tells me with enough money and power, anyone can be president

[Moderator]

32. kick to combine

Bush turning into a stand-up guy
President offers some goofball digressions these days

President Bush is telling another audience that the Social Security system is in great distress, and there will be ghastly consequences if our leaders don't act, and act now.

But first, a little joke:

About a guy trying to get to Livingston, Mont. "To get to Livingston, you've got to go down the highway," Bush says during a recent "town meeting" in Great Falls, Mont. "And you go through the cattle guard. And you turn left. And go through another cattle guard."

Bush chuckles, races through his setup, then hurtles into his punch line.

"And a fellow comes back and says, 'Hey, what color uniforms do those cattle guards have on?' "

Get it? Like, the doofus in the joke thought "cattle guards" were people (protecting the cows), as opposed to steel rails (placed at fence openings to stop cows from walking onto roads).

The crowd is silent. Bush's face freezes in a guess-you-had-to-be-there smile.

Complete story and more hilarious jokes here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7174349/

[bluestateguy]

34. The best jokes are always the unplanned ones

prepped or canned jokes often fail. As a teacher I have learned that.

[Lisa]

52. yup -- it's best to approach them as if they aren't jokes at all ...

This morning, I showed my class one of Donald Rumsfeld's quote about the "unknown unknowns", and carefully went through it, absolutely deadpan, trying to persuade them that it was actually a clever observation. They thought it was hysterical.


Given Bush's habit of chortling merrily to himself even before he reaches the punchline, I'm not sure he understands the concept of spontaneity in humor, though.

[Blue_In_AK]

35. He is so unbelievably lame........... n/t

[Booster]

43. A Republican friend of mine and I were talking about the money

ex-Presidents make on the speaking tours, and she mentioned that Clinton did really well on these tours. I said I didn't think Bush would do so well and she said "Oh, I think he will" and I said "maybe at comedy clubs". You should have seen her face; half wanting to laugh and half wanting to rip my lips off. ha

[Sydnie]

36. This guy wouldn't last two weeks on Hee Haw,

the show that gave Junior Samples an entire career!

time to call BR549 and get some of Junior's jokes blivet** ... 'cuz as much as his stunk, yours are worse!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

37. How completely dunce-like.

[Democrats_win]

38. Bush gives cattle guard directions: "You can't get there from here."

[uppityperson]

39. Best line in the article, understated though:

"There's no question he's a slightly different guy," adds Sen. Rick Santorum

[Democrats_win]

40. LOL, isn't the point of the GOP to elect people like themselves?

[roguevalley]

41. The more people who see how retarded he is, the better. Even his own.

[underpants]

45. What exactly is a "part time food inspector"?

:shrug:

[confludemocrat]

50. Sorry I was redundant.

He has problems. This kind of idiocy is his stock in trade and when a Santorum says in so many words that your wierd, I get a bit more depressed.

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

42. Evidence of a "joke" telling a joke...

It's not funny when a mentally challenged person tries to be humorous.

JB

[Zerex71]

44. Boy, he's a veritable laugh riot.

It's like the nervous laughter of war criminals.

[underpants]

46. You'd think a "rancher" would know about those cattle guards

Now wouldn't you?

[RedCloud]

47. real joke is on us

he never really had to prove who done it with 9/11.

We were supposed to trust the one with Words of Mass Deception about Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Why should anyone take him on his word alone about 9/11?

[confludemocrat]

49. Santorum: "There's no question he's a slightly different guy,"

Need I say more? Takes your breath away. Curioser and curioser.
Goddamn what a fucking turd--every day confirms it.

[Lisa]

51. "I'm a PhD. Not that I need one to know ...

... it's wrong to go to war based on a lie."

Maybe I'll make up a T-shirt with that on it, in case W comes to town.
