BWAHAHAHA! Shrub is "notoriously shy" of something?

[greekspeak]

I think I just wet myself. Read this while I go put on fresh underthings. Says the Gaurdian of Shrub's upcoming speech: "It will be a rare prime-time appearance for a President notoriously shy of such performances."

I was not aware that Shrub was shy when it came to being a big ham. He is "notoriously shy" about these appearances? Mr. "Land me on the Flight Deck and call me Studmuffin?" Come on! The man thinks he is Jesus' right hand man and will do anything to get on TV and make like John Wayne. Give me a BREAK!

1. there is a huge difference between shy and hate

He hates them. he hates being questioned and he hates having to explain anything he does. he hates accountablity and that is what the Amerikan public is finally starting to want.

3. I think I see your point

He hates having to appear on TV to address the clusterf*cks he creates. He shouldn't have to do that. he is the pResident, after all, and should be above that.

But he DOES like getting on TV and acting like a big goofy ape, for all the world to see. A CHIMP if you will. In fact, put him in a little coat and give a concertina to Cheney and you will have an organ grinder's monkey!

2. notoriously shy of the truth.

6. Ding. Ding. Ding.

4. He's a Cheerleader!!!!

Captain of the Cheerleading squad!!!

[TransitJohn]

5. What an asshat.

Of course, the "speech" will AGAIN be delivered in front of a captive military audience. Don't these brave men and women know that the republican party misses no chance to not support them?

[annabanana]

7. notoriously shy a couple of cards of a full deck, maybe..

Just who is in the basement writing this stuff?

[peekaloo]

8. reeks of Karen Huge.

*stinkfumes*

9. new type of propaganda to catapult...oh look martha, he's modest...puke.

[mopaul]

10. he's o.k. when he's reading from the teleprompter, just stay on script

it's the press conferences he hates.

[peacetalksforall]

11. There is something he's good at. He seems to delight in delivering

stupid quips. He thinks he's really funny and he seems to love his digs at everyone and on every subject. He can make the most serious statement and then make a joke out of it. He operates from that back-slapping, cheerleading readiness to have fun and make fun out of anything. The laugh comes with that neck, shoulder, and chest shake. Combined with the smirk and the pause for approval - the combination asks - wasn't my joke great?

That may come from always having an adoring crowd around him and the wall that separates him from the reality of public opinion. It's the old frat boy, back slapping, always ready cheerleading drunk funk of fun. Fun ... it's all fun for him.

His handlers have three realities at the minimum. The reality they create for him. The reality they operate from. The reality they spin for us and the world.

17. he reminds me of that character on "Night Court"

An obnoxious comedian, who was reduced to tears when his audience refused to laugh on cue.

19. he was so proud when he gave the clever riposte of "Sovereignty means

that, you're sovereign."

12. "shy of" is Brit speak for "lacking in"

He doesn't mind photo ops, but is seriously lacking in public appearances, press conferences, etc. He's just barely smart enough to know that he sounds like an idiot when he opens his mouth.

[EnfantTerrible]

13. You think he has that much self awareness?

I bet he thinks he's Fonzy... cooooooooooooool.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Ooops, my bad.

ROVE knows he sounds like an idiot...

[EnfantTerrible]

16. True that...

so does Poppy.

[undeterred]

14. notoriously shy of a full length

penis, and compensating for that is what his whole presidency is about

[MisterP]

18. he's shy of a lot of things...
