Did anybody hear *"s attempt to speak after the 911 hearings?
I caught it on the radio and the first words out of his mouth were pure nonsense. Finally he got going and spoke in his usual mishmash. But it was like he was speachless.

2. Is that what he was doing?
Speaking? I heard it on the radio, and my husband kept immitaing his guttural grunting, so I missed a lot of it. Worse than usual, if you can believe that. And when he DID manage to get our a couple of words, he said he "enjoyed it." What a sense of gravitas.

15. Precious! Must've taken a couple months and dozens of Rethugs
brainstorming to come up with that piece of idiocy. If I were a Republican I would be dead of embarrassment because of this ship of fools.

4. I really thought today was going to be the day where...
...in mid sentence he stops dead, pauses, then shouts "Fukkit! A'hem tird of presidentin'! This job ain't fun no more, and if he wants it, Drew Carry can have it!" Then he turns and walks back into the Whitehouse, and orders a helicopter to take him to Kennebunkport.

8. this editorial PISSED me off so much! on this subject
remember his little talk last week to the newspaper editors?

Janeane Garofalo said the ONLY time they clapped was when Bush brought up the death tax....eliminating it, that is.

here's something everybody here is well aware of, but is almost never seen in the mainstream, for obvious reasons:

Why is the press protecting George W. Bush?

You heard me right, Russ. And Larry. And Byron. And all the rest of you folks who pen those jeering notes to me every day about anti-Bush bias in the Tribune's news reports.

Why is the Democrat-loving, Republican-hating, pond scum-swilling, lower-than-the-rug-on-the-floor, biased, liberal press protecting George W. Bush?

You don't believe it's happening? Well, then, tell me about the furor over W's speech last week to a joint meeting in Washington of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Newspaper Association of America.

You didn't hear about it?

That's the proof.

If the press were not protecting Bush, you'd have read in your Chicago Tribune--or Washington Post or New York Times or Wall Street Journal or USA Today--that he delivered one of the most confusing, inarticulate public addresses since ... well, some people would say since his press conference a week earlier.

As it was, those hopelessly biased reporters who cover Bush overlooked the mangled syntax, penetrated the rhetorical fog and extracted some usable lines from the dross and manufactured stories that had the president sounding, if not quite statesmanlike, then at least intelligible.

Oh.....I forgot the best, and most ironic part: the title-->

"Bush benefits from the reporters' professionalism."

can yop believe the gall of that guy?

ProFESSIONALism?

what could be less professional than covering up for this halfwit?

I also heard the interview with his MBA prof tonight, and that was just as amazing.....SPITBALLS in grad school??????
