Bush reveals job growth plan to Brit Hume
BUSH: I believe we're going to add jobs, because I believe this economy is strong.

HUME: How soon do you expect that to start happening?

BUSH: Well, you know, I don't know.

2. A tautology.
One of Bush's favorite logical fallacies. Mark Miller discusses this in hilarious detail in The Bush Dyslexicon.

5. The other day I heard him say
that we can't have PEACE (he says that word louder) because of terra-ism. That terra-ists don't share our vision of PEACE. How can they let him get away with this crap? It's a big joke. The rest of the world is laughing at him, yet he pretends he's King of the World.

9. not since marcus aurelius has so smart a man run an empire
we are truly blessed to live during the reign of such a man. and like the ancient emperor, bush too will have his face on his nation's coinage, the $3 dollar bill.

I'll tell you what, Chimpy--there are 10 Democrats running for President who DO have a plan to create jobs, so why don't you go back to your little pig farm.

14. Great plan, oh exaulted one
Jesus Fucking Christ in a Dress!

What the hell?
And Hume just sat there, didn't challenge the fact that he has no plan.

I love this shit.

Right wingers love to discuss how the Dems have no plan, when in truth the Dems have tons of plans, just none the Right wants to hear.

But when someone asks them for a plan, they answer, "Just wait and see."

Its bullshit.

This man is a moron.

18. I just can't stand it
I watched about 5 minutes of this drivel and * is going off about how he is spreading peace throughout the world with Iraq as an example

War is Peace
Right is Wrong
Bush was elected

We really do live in 1984 don't we?

30. They can put this over the door when he builds his "pResidential Liberry"
Something like:

"You know, I don't know
And I don't care, either
And anyway, it's classsified"

22. Every moment was a horror
Here's the transcript....it reads even more stupid than it sounded...and it sounded shit stupid...


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,98006,00.html


Some riveting stuff....

" HUME: Tell me one thing. How often do you talk to your dad?
BUSH: You know, probably once every two weeks.
HUME: Really? Because I think a lot of people would imagine that you guys would be in touch constantly.
BUSH: No, I'm in touch constantly -- you mean like in terms of asking him..."

and this swell bit of banter

"HUME: How about the cooperation on keeping these...
BUSH: On Hezbollah, for example...
HUME: ... from keeping outsiders from coming into Iraq?
BUSH: Yes, well it's a big border. I would give them -- they can do a better job.
HUME: How are you going to deal with that?
BUSH: With Syria?
HUME: Yes.
BUSH: Well, we've had discussions with them, and we'll continue to have discussions with them. We know when we say things we're serious about it in America. That's an important part of our diplomacy, that people take our words seriously. And we've had some serious discussions with them.
HUME: Let's turn to the Mideast more broadly for a moment, and to specifically the Palestinian question. Yasser Arafat now appears to be back in the saddle, having dispensed with Mahmoud Abbas, a man I think you all had such high hopes for. We're not dealing with him.
BUSH: Right.
HUME: With Arafat, I mean.
BUSH: Correct.
HUME: What are you going to do about him?
BUSH: With Arafat?
HUME: Yes.
BUSH: Just convince the Palestinians if they want a Palestinian state, at least with American support, get an interlocutor that is truly committed to fighting terror.
HUME: Now the Israelis have indicated that they might get rid of him one way or another, exile, killing him. What would be our reaction to that? I mean, we keep hearing that he's an enemy of peace, an obstacle to peace, and yet when the Israelis said, well, OK, let's get rid of him, the answer up in the U.S. government is, whoa, not so fast. What about it?
BUSH: Well, the best way -- in America, we believe in getting rid of people through a peaceful, orderly process, and the Palestinian people should make that decision by getting a government that represents their will. Because I believe most Palestinians believe in peace.
No question Arafat has failed. And, you know, the sad thing is that we're really the only country in the world who says that."

Jeeze, you could walk into any saloon in this country and find somebody who knows more and can express himself better....

Don't you feel better knowing that this crooked drunk is "serious"? I sure do.

35. Bushes staff? Objective?
Brit Hume (heretofore known as asslicker) interview last night.

BUSH: Yes. You know, look, I have great respect for the media. I mean, our society is a good, solid democracy because of a good, solid media. But I also understand that a lot of times there's opinions mixed in with news. And I...

ASSLICKER: I won't disagree with that, sir.

BUSH: I appreciate people's opinions, but I'm more interested in news. And the best way to get the news is from objective sources. And the most objective sources I have are people on my staff who tell me what's happening in the world.
