'Kerry is too stiff. People would like to have a beer with GW Bush.'

[Tower]

And apparently, GW Bush would like to have beers with all of them, too.

[Erika]

1. Says who? Kerry has an intellect

while W looks up the word.

[FreedomAngel82]

5. Yep

I like to have a conversation with someone who can talk back to me and inform me if I'm wrong about something etc. Plus, Kerry is probably more fun then Bush and not drinking.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

14. Nice!

I usually say through angrily gritted teeth, "I don't want my President to be 'just plain' folks'. I actually want my President to be much smarter than me."

But I like your comeback better.

[Nay]

20. I said this to people too! Really got 'em, made them think about

what a stupid-ass comment it was to say they felt they "could have a beer" with the a**hole. What an idiotic reason to base a presidential selection on.

[Radio_Lady]

23. Erika, even if he looked up the word, he'd still be clueless!

We could have had a MORE BETTER president... Much MORE BETTER...

[Ilsa]

2. Heh heh heh.

Good one.

I've never thought that the desire to sit and have a beer with a candidate was a good enough reason to vote for them. If this is the criteria for selecting our leaders, we are totally f%#ked.

[Tower]

4. Me neither- but that's what all the talking heads were saying during the

campaign. Then again, they also said the election was decided by "values voters", which was completely unsupported by exit polls. Of course, you could say the same about Bush's "victory" as well, so...

[hardrainfallin]

8. Guess what? We are totally fucked...I saw SERIOUS reports

of voters making comments like this (Yeah, like I could see going out to dinner with bush, but that other guy, I just don't know....)

:crazy:

I thought to myself, yeah, right, lady, I'm sure Mr. B. has dinner with you on his calendar.

It's nuts, but it is the way some people "think".

[CottonBear]

3. Is that a real photo or a photoshop? Link? Thanks. CB n/t

[Tower]

6. It's a photoshop.

I just needed a picture of Bush with beer.

This Enquirer story makes all those campaign-season claims of Bush's "regular guy you want to have a drink with" seem sort of funny.

[Erika]

9. The least of my worries would be W having a beer

who would expect anything more out of the clown?

[Tower]

15. Yep.

If he'd just kept drinking the world would be a better place. How pathetic is that?

[CottonBear]

13. Thanks for the reply and welcome to DU Tower.

:hi:
We know all about the "regular guy" Bu$h story here at DU.
Welcome to DU and keep posting and learning. I started as a novice DUer.
Just keep lurking and posting!
Peace out. CB :hi:
P.S. * is a drunken asshat. OVER (in honor of Gen. Honore) :)

7. I Never Could Understand That

If he was the last person on earth and I was dying of thirst I would not sit down with Bush to have a beer.

[LisaL]

11. If I was dying of thirst, I would have drunk both mine and Bush's

beer. So there.

[abluelady]

22. You Are Smarter Than I Am! :-)

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[LisaL]

10. Back in a day, Bush almost looked human.

:evilgrin:

[blogslut]

12. remember that other analogy?

Kool-Aid voters supposedly felt that if they were stranded on the side of the road, Dubya would stop and offer aid and Kerry would not?

I wonder if they feel that way now?

[Tower]

16. LMAO- now that one I had not heard.

Considering the state of the gulf coast and Bush's Nero-esque performance, I'd say that little gem is even worse than the beer thing.

[Withywindle]

17. The only way I'd want to have a beer with Bush is...

...if I thought I could get away with peeing in it when he wasn't looking. (Tough for a gal, but I'd find a way!)

A beer with Kerry could be supercool. I'll bet he's got lots of great stories about all kinds of shit, and can tell them in complete sentences too.

[LSK]

18. well thats all fine and dandy, but too bad it doesnt work that way

Problems need to be faced by smart people, not by drunks in a bar. I get so sick of people ignoring problems or making fun of them like they would go away. Well as Katrina has shown, they do not go away and eventually they bite you in the ass.

[LittleClarkie]

19. So people die

because people thought they'd have a beer with a multi-millionare who could give a flying shit about them, and above all, will never, ever have a damn beer with them.

It is to weep.

[kywildcat]

21. We had a beer with bush, the tab came due and we got

mickeyed in the process.

[mikeytherat]

24. I want my President so smart, Stephen Hawking feels intimidated

I want my President so smart, he or she can scare a Rubik's Cube into alignment

I want my President so smart, other world leaders know they can't outmaneuver him/her

And, unlike BushCo, I want the President's advisers and staff to be that smart, too.

I can't be the only one, can I?

mikey_the_rat

[hatrack]

25. Setting aside not being able (officially) to have a beer with the Chimp .

I don't want a president I'd "want to have a beer with."

I don't want a president who "feels comfortable in his own skin."

I don't want a president who drops the syllable "-ing" from words when he's speaking to one audience, and then uses it when he speaks to another audience.

I don't want a president who sets records for the number of days spent on vacation.

I want a president who's really smart, who works really hard, who's well-informed on a lot of different things and who can string together words and sentences in a way that shows that he's actually spent time thinking about what he does for a living.
