Anyone see the kids singing Happy Birthday to Bush yesterday?
It was funny as hell. I saw it yesterday. The stupid bastard was sitting with these kids and he told them not to sing happy birthday. Well the kids started singing anyway. It was so funny. Bushbaby turns all red and starts whining..."I told you not to sing Happy Birthday!" It was obvious he was genuinely annoyed that they weren't obeying him.

He sat there helplessly listening -- captive to a bunch of kids. Powerless, like the flaccid, limp, blow-up doll figurehead he really is. I experienced profound schadenfreud.

Bush is Cheneyed.

unless you were being sarcastic. He said that during a press conference with the Icelandic President.

on edit: maybe the chimp was making a joke at the press conference about what happened when he was campaigning for the third grade vote. Either way, the despicable whores (reporters, not kids!) started singing happy birthday to him.

2. makes sense
That makes sense. The camera didn't show the singers. I just assumed they were kids because he's such a photo-op hound, and they sounded like kids. It was just a quick clip shown on a news show I was half paying attention to. But anyway the funny part from me is how he couldn't get them to shut up.

3. I saw it as well
He was shamelessly prodding them to sing by telling them not to sing. It didn't appear to me that they ever intended to sing until he said, "Don't sing happy birthday to me.". What an idiot!

4. As mentioned before...it was RIGHT out of Office Space where the workers
are forced to sing happy birthday to their hated boss.

Watch the video here (you have to wait until the end to see it but it's worth the short wait!):
