Bush: ‘I’m the Commander Guy’

[jmc247]

President Bush coined a new nickname for himself — ‘’the commander guy” — on Wednesday, as he criticized Congressional Democrats in a speech to the annual gathering of the Associated General Contractors of America, a construction industry trade group.

“The question is, ‘Who ought to make that decision, the Congress or the commanders?,’’ Mr. Bush said. “As you know, my position is clear – I’m the commander guy.”

Mr. Bush issued the veto Tuesday; on Wednesday, the House failed to muster the two-thirds majority necessary for an override and Congressional leaders went to the White House to talk to the commander guy about a new spending measure.

11. how the fuck can people demean themselves and work in that idiot's administration

[leeman67]

12. more and more Bush is reminding me of that Michael Richards...

character from "Fridays" back in the early 80's. You know, the little kid in his back yard pretending to blow stuff up with his little army soldiers, and starting fires and stuff. It would be funny if it wasn't so real, which of course means it's just damn tragic and sad.

to this country.

19. Is it "Commander Guy" or "THE Commander Guy"?

You know, like "Batman" vs "THE Batman"? :shrug:

This topic needs to be brought up for discussion at every opportunity, whenever Repugs are around.

"Hey, _____, I know you don't claim to be an expert or anything, but are we supposed to call Bu**sh** "Commander Guy" or "THE Commander Guy"? Is that an issue of grammar, or just style? Has he stated a personal preference? What did Tony Snow have to say about it? Did you ask him? Well, sure, you should. In the meantime, I'll phone Rush and check with him."

[Hissyspit]

20. I think he meant to say "I'm the commander cuckoobananas."

You know how he flubs his lines.

[rosesaylavee]

21. Geeeeeezzzzz.

Can he be any more pathetic? Can he embarrass us any more than he already has? Guess the answer to both those questions is a resounding - Y E S!

[BuelahWitch]

22. What's really funny is seeing the Freepers scrambling to interpret for him

"What he really meant..." "...the context of his comment..." NO!!! The man you voted for is an idiot who thinks he's a fucking emperor! WTF, is Bushspeak our new foreign language?

[Igel]

25. In context, it's crystal clear, to be honest.

One has to really work to ignore the context. But apparently a lot of people think it's worth the effort. SOP in the anti-dialogue crowd.

[momster]

23. Any Video?

I want to see him rip off his suit and leap from the podium into the air -- it's a banana, no, it's a nut...no, it's Commander Guy!

[quiet.american]

24. "Leaker-in-Chief" is more like it. "Jailbird" is the term I'm waiting to see. n/t

[underpants]

26. Someone must have clued him in that his railing against "politicians" making military decisions

froze him out too

Yes Murder Monkey you are the Commander Guy too bad it only took you 6 years to figure that out
