Would somebody PLEASE let me off Planet Bush? Anyone hear NPR this PM??

[Obamarama]

So I'm driving along this afternoon, listening to NPR. And I hear a sound byte of The Boy King mumblifying the thoughts that bounce around that empty simian brain pan of his.

According to the sound byte, it appears Bush believes that he actually responded so quick to the impending Katrina crisis that it is astounding. In fact, he intimated that it was so quick that no other president has ever acted as quickly and efficiently as did he.

I can't listen to the segment on NPR until tomorrow, when they post it to their archives. Did anyone else hear this mind-boggling string of incoherence issue forth from the mouth of the village idiot, or am I just hallucinating?

When did Earth get catapulted to an alternate universe? I want off Planet Bush.

EDIT:
HERE'S A LINK TO THE INTERVIEW!! THEY DO HAVE IT UP RIGHT NOW. Everything he says illustrates the man is fucking fruit loops, but the part that takes the fruit loop cake is at "2:25"

1. His handlers are afraid to tell him anything else

:grr::crazy::mad:

[Extend a Hand]

2. my husband heard it

you're not hallucinating. No decent followup from reporter either on how he "forgot" that he knew the levees might break last Thurs. and no followup on why he was off fiddling if he knew.


sickening.

3. We need to let David Gregory, Terry Moran, and Helen Thomas know

4. Yes, and my ears are bleeding.

Just when you think you cannot be any more embarassed and revolted by the baboon's ass, he one-ups himself.

What the HELL were his handlers thinking?

5. Did you hear the good part where he referred to his warning

announcement MONDAY? That was his Sunday address that turned into a feel good commentarY on Iraq.

[Snotcicles]

6. It reminds me of that old ( and I date myself here) t.v. show

The Outer Limits. Where they come on and say we have taken over your tv don't try to adjust it.

[melody]

7. frankly, I think the puppetmasters have abandoned him

The thing in his ear isn't telling him what to say, so his Swiss cheese brain is trying to cope.

[Snotcicles]

8. They just parked him in the corner and let him sit there and

drool on him self.

[Greyhound]

10. They are done with him. Now they are preparing the next move.

He can't be re-selected so they'll use him to make the sheeple forget all the other monsters that run u.s.
Just wait till the mid-terms start to heat up and you'll see. :banghead:

9. Transcript: (warning: people w/high blood pressure should exit thread now)

Q Did they misinform you when you said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees?

THE PRESIDENT: No, what I was referring to is this. When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, whew. There was a sense of relaxation, and that's what I was referring to. And I, myself, thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people, probably over the airways, say, the bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Of course, there were plans in case the levee had been breached. There was a sense of relaxation in the moment, a critical moment. And thank you for giving me a chance to clarify that.

Q Mr. President, where were you when you realized the severity of the storm?

THE PRESIDENT: I was -- I knew that a big storm was coming on Monday, so I spoke to the country on Monday* morning about it. I said, there's a big storm coming. I had pre-signed emergency declarations in anticipation of a big storm coming.

Q Mr. President --

THE PRESIDENT: -- which is, by the way, extraordinary. Most emergencies the President signs after the storm has hit. It's a rare occasion for the President to anticipate the severity of a storm and sign the documentation prior to the storm hitting. So, in other words, we anticipated a serious storm coming. But as the man's question said, basically implied, wasn't there a moment where everybody said, well, gosh, we dodged the bullet, and yet the bullet hadn't been dodged.

Q Mr. President --

THE PRESIDENT: Last question.

Q This is two weeks in. You must have developed a clear image at this point of one critical thing that failed, one thing that went wrong in the first five days.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I think there will be plenty of time to analyze, particularly the structure of the relationship between government levels. But, again, there's -- what I think Congress needs to do -- I know Congress needs to do -- and we're doing this internally, as well -- is to take a sober look at the decision-making that went on.

And what I want the people of this state and the state of Mississippi to understand is that we're moving forward with relief plans. And we're going to move forward with reconstruction plans, and we're going to do so in a coordinated way. And it's very important for the folks of New Orleans to understand that, at least as far as I'm concerned, this great city has got ample talent and ample genius to set the strategy and set the vision. And our role at the federal government is -- obviously, within the law -- is to help them realize that vision. And that's what I wanted to assure the Mayor.

Thank you all.

11. this part (among others) is bullshit

"It's a rare occasion for the President to anticipate the severity of a storm and sign the documentation prior to the storm hitting."

see this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/446419.stm
for one such case :
US President Bill Clinton cut short a trip to New Zealand and declared a federal state of emergency in both states because of the approaching hurricane.

12. I didn't even know where to start.

At first, I was only going to highlight the more stupid comments, but all of them are stupid and I couldn't make up my mind.

Do they KNOW he's out here talking to people without supervision ?

And if they aren't watching him right now, can't we get him to go play in traffic during rush hour ?
