George Bush is Down the Rabbit Hole This Week - WHY?
Edited on Sat Jan-01-05 11:24 AM by Stephanie


If you search Bush at Yahoo photos, this is all you get. Two appearances since the tsunami. One, at the Crawford football game last Sunday, and then his statement on Wednesday after the WaPo and Clinton shamed him into saying something. Since then, nothing. Where is he? It's bizarre.

From Wednesday (this is the first photo that comes up, with the new caption - there is no new photo to accompany his "best wishes" remarks, which I assume were released by someone else):

From last Sunday:

The Pirates won the State 2A Division II football title this season. Bush is spending the New Year's holiday at his Crawford ranch.

They need help.

Foreign tourists wait to check in at Phuket airport as they try to go back to their countries. Aid pledges for Asia's tsunami victims topped 1.6 billion dollars on a tide of New Year sympathy, but the United Nations (news - web sites) warned it would take weeks for help to reach many survivors and that the death toll would likely rise to 150,000.(AFP/Pornchai Kittiwongsakul)

1. didn't you know he is on VACATION
and doesn't want to take any of those funny photo-ops or read those big words on his scripts.

Plus he can drink as many beers as he wants.

3. Do you think he might be binging
now that the lid seems to be coming off his cabal!;)

He might suicide himself. What a pitty that would be.

5. That's what I think.
It's inexplicable that he can only spare about 20 minutes, pre-taped, for this disaster in AN ENTIRE WEEK.

6. He's done with his only job, "winning" the election
And he's tired of all the HARD WORK. That includes, of course, trying to fake compassion. That's over and above trying to say all those pesky sentences and listen to the secret prompter.

I'm wondering how far his mental erosion has to go until they allow the MSM to finally start hinting at it and pushing for Cheney to take over the Presidency. He's been running the show already, of course, but even with all the cheating he couldn't have gotten enough votes to appear to win the election.

12. Exactly, NWH. He has done his job, which was to retain his
position as figurehead. Now, he wants to rest after all that hard work.

8. Same Man Who Sat for 7 Minutes While America was attacked
and ran and hid for the rest of the day.

What else would you expect from this selfish spineless jellyfish of an idiot.

Just when I thought I couldn't hate him more, I find ways to do just that!

15. If we extrapolate 7 minutes for 3000 dead on 9/11 to
how much time for 125,000 dead from the tsunami? Is bush smart enough to comprehend the size of the number 100,000 in relation to his 10 fingers?

10. I'm glad is ugly mug is NOT on my TV
every five minutes. He's more of a help in this disaster by keeping his dumb yap shut.

We'll be fine. The world will forgive us when we elect someone suitable again. I hope in 2008.

13. I think he's had a defibrilator implanted so he doesn't
need that monkey on his back anymore.

17. I hope he stays down there.
I hope he sits on that wall with Humpty Dumpty and falls breaking into so many pieces that no one will be able to put him together again.

19. Is it just me, or does * look like a mortician applied his makeup?
Phew, he looks horrible, really pale, anemic.
