Bush: "Out of the rubble of Trent Lott's house, we'll build a fantastic...

[Poll_Blind]

...house! I can't wait to sit on the porch!"

I shit you not! Just watched this on WWL feed. Jesus tits!

PB

[goclark]

1. That is exactly what he said! : (

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Not precisely. He said Lott's house WILL be rebuilt, not WE"LL rebuild it.

[YOY]

46. Trent has the money to rebuild his own damn house

I'm worried about the folks who have lost everything they owned.

Asswipe Bush

[liveoaktx]

69. Here's the Vid Clip

Trent's Porch

[berner59]

2. CLUELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The clapping is making me sick!!!!!!!!!!! And what are those helicopters doing there??? Get in the air and SAVE PEOPLE!!!!!!

That was beyond DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!

[habitual]

50. those good choppers were there

to make those soldiers look busy while * was getting his briefing. Notice that as soon as * started his prepared BS, they all had to stop working and stand in line while the idiot spoke. He should have turned around and said "get back to work, we need those whirlybirds flying!" But then, we know what staged show was all about, and we know those choppers were just fine and should have been out working. Sad Sad Sad

[Justyce]

3. Huh?!?!

[davidinalameda]

4. put him under the porch

or up in the attic

[Kadie]

5. WTF?

:mad:

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. OMG, this is what he's about

kill all the black people, take their property and rebuild New Orleans for his rich buddies. Nice guy.

[lebkuchen]

7. Just when I thought yesterday was the most surreal day of my life

Bush never ceases to amaze!

[Supersedeas]

20. No one could have expect those levees to fail--then THIS!!

Was his jaw twitching uncontrollably?

[Rose Siding]

8. He's just incapable of breaking out of crony-dom!

[carpediem]

9. I almost fell off my chair when he said that!

the absolute utter cluelessness.

Boy I'll bet the people in NO will feel much better knowing Trent Lott's million dollar beachfront second home will be rebuilt!!!

I am fuming.

[Done]

10. We can all breath a sigh of relief.

Trent Lott will be okay.
:sarcasm:

[Generic Other]

11. Unbelieveable

One of "his" buddies has suffered. Now it matters!

[MADem]

60. Trent is no buddy of chimp

That stupid remark was made out of pure FEAR.

Trent is still pissed that he lost the leadership to incompetent Frist, and that chimp did not stand by him in the Strom thing, even after he went on BET and apologized, and most Black leaders said, hell, we KNOW what he is, better out in the open than sneaking around.

Trent is still serving as shadow leader to a cadre of disaffected GOP senators, and he is a vengeful SOB. Trent was out of the box QUICKLY, bitching about the slow response.

Bush is afraid of Trent. But nothing can replace Trent's CHILDHOOD home, not even a fancy new one, so that dumbass remark, even without all of the devastation that has occurred all around that region, was a CLINKER.

The man is TONE DEAF.

[LSK]

12. and thats what he plans too

He will rebuild 10 mansions and everyone else is on their own.

[TahitiNut]

13. That was jaw-droppingly CLUELESS! Fucking Narcissist!

He's so far out of contact with reality it's beyond comprehension.

[KharmaTrain]

14. Ooooh Do I Wish He'd Go To The Convention Center...

CNN reported they're "scoping out" a place for him to do a 9/11-type photo op. I think this is a plant since all he'll do is land at the safety of the airport in Kenner...30 miles away...put on the flight jacket...attempt to do a photo op with Nagin (I hope he's ready) and get out of Dodge.

If this dude really has the stones to go to the Convention Center, the reception will be far from Let The Good Times Roll.

This absurd goes to the sublime....

[leftchick]

15. that was unfuckingbelievable

I believe he has just killed his poll numbers forever

[ima_sinnic]

16. not only TL's house, but IT'S STILL ABOUT HIM * !!

could the *wink*wink* be any more OBVIOUS?

sheesh, you're talking to the whole fucking nation, you completely CLUELESS FUCK! this ISN'T about YOU and your fucking BUDDIES!


yeah, can't wait to rebuild the Gulf Coast so George Wanker Bush has a porch to hang out on.

[TahitiNut]

23. Pathological Narcissism -- he's a sociopath - totally disconnected.

How that kind of thought could even cross the mind of a SANE person would be incomprehensible. He has no clue about the people dying, but he's spent time discussing Trent Lott's vacation home being destroyed??? One second home of a wealthy PIG?? Unfreakingreal!

[ClearMessage]

17. I feel better. I was really worried

about Trent Lott's porch.

[TahitiNut]

18. If the Democrats don't use that as a campaign commercial, they're INSANE.

That encapsulates the appalling disconnect of this fucking regime!! Bodies in the streets and the Chimperor wallows in the "good life"!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Amen ,Amen, Amen. If the Dems. don't seize this gift opportunity

then they deserve to lose in 06 and 08.

[TahitiNut]

66. Absolutely. Nobody to blame.

[Pithy Cherub]

19. Right when you think Idiot Son has scraped the scummy bottom

he finds new levels of gravity in a race to a new Bottom! president's bush's ass on trent lott's rebuilt mansion matters not one whit to SOMEONE WHO IS DYING RIGHT NOW. I think I am actually having difficulty breathing right now... For the Love of God!

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. His hairdo wasn't damaged, Thank God for that.

The rest of the area can go to hell, I guess.

[leftchick]

26. lost all of his extra hairpieces though

I am sure they are very expensive and insured

[smurfygirl]

22. is this a joke? I don't watch chimpy anymore.

because of statements like these. I have literally broken all the buttons on the tv. two phones. and a remote. I cannot afford to watch him anymore.
Please tell me you are joking

[Poll_Blind]

37. Nope, no joke. I think about 4 million spinchters tightened...

...when he said this. Jesus, does he realize what he's saying?

PB

[Jacobin]

25. Please tell me you are making this up

I thought Rove was with his little PRezdintDoggie.

[Pithy Cherub]

29. NO! Live TV in front of MILLIONS of Americans watching

their tax dollars and stupid votes at work...

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. Not joking

He can't wait for the fantastic new house Trent Lott will build, he's also really lookin' forward to sittin' on the porch heh heh heh.

He's a sociopath.

[MN ChimpH8R]

27. Un-fucking-believable

Somebody, whether it's the JCOS or whomever, has to DO something about this idiot.

[LisaLynne]

28. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?

When I think he can't possibly be as friggin' clueless as I think he is, he goes and proves me wrong. This man is scum. Is he even remotely human? He is so far out of touch with reality. I am so angry. I just don't think I can take it.

[Poll_Blind]

35. The dude is completely batshit. Fucking unreal. n/t

PB

[Catrina]

61. No, he is without normal human

attributes, such as compassion. He is a sneering, leering uncaring individual who, had he not been born into an ill-gotten family fortune, would have been a petty criminal, imo.

Why is anyone surprised that he would joke, while the bodies of his fellow citizens are being eaten by rats in a major US city, because of his neglect to do his duty?

He is the one who thought pretending to search for WMDs was a joke, when once again, because of his lies and incompetence, real human beings were losing their lives and limbs, trying to find what he told them they went there to find.

He is probably the most despicable individual to ever be in the WH. And he has gathered around him, a collection of similarly despicable individuals who together have destroyed this country as we knew it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. GOD DAMN IT! I can't take this shit anymore!

:grr: People are dying and he thinks this is a time to crack jokes and talk about rebuilding millionaire digs! :mad: :nuke:

[jane_pippin]

32. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I just want to leave work so I can watch the CNN, and be near my toilet so I can puke in it.

[Walt Starr]

33. Should eb the headline on the front page of EVERY paper in the nation

Seriously, how more fucked up can this moron get?

[JHB]

34. That's the headline!

Not "Bush calls response inadequate, brings in real relief"

quote the bastard, and drown the spin.l

[Garbo 2004]

38. Staggering. Beyond laughing or crying with shit like that. How Bush

relates to millions homeless, people dying for want of basic necessities...

Why, we'll fix up Trent's house have a BBQ and see? Everything will be just fine. Who says we're not responding to the needs of the people.

If the media had any guts, they'll play that and juxtapose it with the NOLA mayor's rant this morning with pics of bodies and old folks and babies trying to hang on to life long enough to get water, food and medicine. Maybe Olbermann might do something like that. The disconnect at the top is almost unbelievable.

They have no bread? Let them eat cake. The Versailles President.

[tallahasseedem]

39. Batshit crazy...

that is all I can say about this.

[defiant1]

40. OMFG....

IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH

:puke:

[ecstatic]

41. Trent Lott lost one of his mansions. boo hoo

If I could slap him for even thinking to bring that up I would.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

42. LOL..more demonstration that he is out of touch

[The_Casual_Observer]

43. This is that likeable folksy charm, wouldn't you just love to

have a beer and piss it on him,..... I mean have a beer with him?

[swag]

44. recommended.

[deminks]

45. KKKarl, did you tell him to say that? or did he ad lib?

So unreal. They probably don't have any clue how wrong that was - on so many levels that was wrong.

[Catfight]

47. Will Trent's mammy get a little porch to shuck corn for bush on? SICK! nt

[Cleita]

48. This just gets worse and worse.

:cry:

[unblock]

49. not to throw cold water on this, but

is it possible that by "trent lott's house", he meant "mississippi", rather than lott's personal residence?

[PittLib]

51. They should plunk him right down in the middle ...

of a "refugee camp".

[PatrioticLeftie]

52. Unacceptable! n/t

[cornermouse]

53. Who cares about Trent Lott's house?

Which one of Trent Lott's houses is he talking about? As a millionaire, he can afford to rebuild out of his own pocket. Talk about trivial... And shallow...

[DS1]

54. It's a metaphor

At least, it was written that way, but Bush being Bush didn't pick up on that and read it as literally Trent Lott's house.

I hope so, anyway.

[wellstone_democrat]

57. not with the specific detail it wasn't

about sitting on the patio/porch that he so enjoyed?
No, it wasn't a metaphor and why , btw, in a day with ham-handed images would a speechwriter drop in a subtle metaphor. Doesn't make sense rhetorically.

[DS1]

58. back porch

I read that as visiting NO.

Or maybe I'm just trying to rationalize, in a state of denial. :shrug:

[Pirate Smile]

55. I keep thinking I can't get more outraged but every friggin day, I do!

[Fla Dem]

56. My jaw dropped when he said that. What an imbecile. Clueless,

absolutely clueless.

[easyreader]

59. Link?

Is there an exact quote somewhere?

[renate]

63. the end of the fifth paragraph

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/09/20050902-2.html

Just in case it gets removed, here's the entire paragraph:

We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch. (Laughter.)

(Edited to bold the last sentence)

[journalist3072]

70. Thank you! I've been looking for the exact quote!!!!!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

62. Kick this...as a perfect example...

of what an insensitive out of touch imbecile we have in charge.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. This morning he said he was looking forward to his visit.

Mother-fucking son of a shit-eating bitch.

[Davros]

65. Bush is such a man-child

...acting like a child with fits of laughter. I bet he took a "hit" before leaving the plane.

[journalist3072]

67. Can someone provide me with the EXACT quote, as he said it?

I would appreciate that, pls.

[Independent_Liberal]

68. OMG!!!
