‘Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest While Repeating ‘I Am The President’

Georgie Anne Geyer writes today in the Dallas Morning News about President Bush’s strange behavior during a recent meeting with “riends of his from Texas.”

But by all reports, President Bush is more convinced than ever of his righteousness.

Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated “I am the president!” He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.”

This is the second time in recent weeks that accounts have surfaced of Bush lashing out or “ranting” in private meetings when responding to criticism of his Iraq policy. Chris Nelson of the Nelson Report offered a similar account earlier this month...

4. no thanks. I think bush has already had some though.

[dave29]

5. maybe he moved on to meth

hard to say.

[yurbud]

12. don't people take meth to work MORE? Bush works less than Reagan who was 50 years older

[damntexdem]

8. No. Things would have gone better than this with coke.

;-)

21. Have a coke and a breakdown.

22. He took the brown acid

Typical. The man never listens to warnings.

2. Wow, and I believe Geyer is pretty conservative.

But that bit about Iraq and our country's desting is pretty fucking scary.

Congress needs to stop pretending he's an ordinary crappy president already!:banghead:

11. Memorial Day speech

In his Memorial Day speech at Arlington Cemetery he called Iraq 'the nation's destiny'. He is now a Messiah and my biggest fear is he won't leave and will declare martial law before the next election.

[Phredicles]

16. Well, he was at least talking about a successor, so

I assume he expects to have one...

23. She's a good enough journalist to not let that get in the way

I remember her riviting discriptions of meeting the Ayatollah in Paris about thirty years ago. She was fascinated with the man and creeped out at the same time.

Note this also comes from the Dallas Morning News, which isn't exactly aligned with Z-Mag.

3. Sounds like he's been overindulging

himself from the WH liquor cabinet again.

[whistle]

6. That sounds more like Mexican mushrooms to me

7. ANIMATION: Pelosi's new job (though she's admittedly not doing very well at it)

[Orsino]

9. No details.

Somewhere among friends and away from the press. A barbecue? At which he was drinking?

[yurbud]

10. probably--or further Gannon withdrawals: "Bulldog! Bulldog! Wherefore art thou, Bulldog?"

[Chico Man]

13. No substances necessary

That's just Bush in his natural habitat.

[madrchsod]

14. he`s ill..mentally that is...

from the interviews with the author of the new nixon/kissinger book, i`d say bush is reaching the same breakdown nixon had in his last days....

[yurbud]

17. only without have coherence to decay from

[yurbud]

15. god damn it! this is going to require some photoshop work

like a gorilla thumping his chest.

[Charlie Brown]

18. this is exactly why I support a one-term limit on the Presidency

Insane people like the current occupant who know how to play the system to stay in power must be contained somehow if we're going to survive as a democracy.

25. If we had one six year term like Mexico, Bush would still have been president until Jan 07

and most of his damage would have already been done.

Problem with being president is like the last month or two of every school year--kids don't do any work. But if you make the last day of school earlier, they just start doing nothing sooner.

If Bush had just one term, he would have done twice the damage in half the time.

19. Hope his little buddies are shaking in their $3000 boots.

[marmar]

20. That mofo is stone crazy.....

Or he's back on the sauce.... Or both.

[yurbud]

24. you say both of those like they would be a change
