BUSH IS HIS OWN CARTOON!

[glarius]

When I look at him all I can see are the comedians that impersonate him....The one on Sat. Night Live....The one on Leno...etc...That's all I can say!....HE'S HIS OWN JOKE....It's impossible to take him seriously and think of him as a president!

[opihimoimoi]

1. He is the Best...as a JOKE< No one comes CLOSE>

He has made comedians/cartoonists/commentators/writers/artists/etc rich.

Bush, indeed, is is own joke...on a mega scale....He will go down in History as a joke....

[Hubert Flottz]

2. A sick joke!

The man is a class A idiot, who believes his own lies!

[opihimoimoi]

13. Hubert my man....the sick joke preezinent is ruining our Nation more

than you or I could imagine...this guy is more deadly than Ebola. and that goes for the GOPle who support the dude.

In centuries past, there were a lot of fuck ups and little consequence unless one was one the losing side of a battle or a casualty...the world could heal itself...

But in these times, as Global Warming heats up, the stakes are dire.

Either Mankind comes to terms with the Planet or Not... no in betweens.

That Bushie Boy and his rich friends care not for the Planet is a CLUSTER FUCK of Mega proportions.... this time, it will be all over for a lot of peeps. The have nots will suffer badly...a lot more than today.

Bush and his GOPle are to blame and stand in the way of Healing our Society/Planet/Future....

They gatta go....

Thank you for being on the fuckin WALL....we need all the damn spears we can get....


Come, we go vote um outta there

14. The pResinut hangs out with the cows and chickens for a reason.

Them dumb critters, are the only critters besides the sheep and the goats, that still trust our forked tongued chimperor! The smart people and the frogs don't. He's about as at home, home, on the range as a cow pie. Everything he does or says is play acting. KKKarl calls ALL the shots, because Bush is a damned fool. KKKarl is the writer, producer and director of the pResinut, the most powerful primate on the planet!

Charlie "Moses" Hesston was right, about the planet of the Apes! The Ape is running the show and the chickens are coming home to roost for the foolish idiots, who bought into George W Bush, lock, stock and barrel. Not just ONCE, but TWICE! * The GOPers = Double Dummies!

[opihimoimoi]

18. Yup, the GOPle are double dummies...what the hell can we do?

Warnings don work, Bush don take warnings and neither do the GOPle. All they do is go into Delusion that all is OK and we gonna make it somehow if we pray hard enough...

Woe unto to us that embrace apes....

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Woe and he knoweth not his ass, from a hole in the ground...

Proof that drinking when Barr-f was knocked up, was a baaaaaaaaad idea. She(The Farce Lady) shat a monster with an abby-dabby-dabby-normal brain. Booze and pumped up...don't mix! Bushco is the poster group for fetal alcohol syndrome. Worse than crack babies and meth monsters by a long shot, because there are so many more of the booze babes. Babs sure knowed how to hold her licker,(by the ears)but she should have danced all night, instead of evil fornification and evil games of dingle dangle dingle with the personal refrigments of the opposite gender.

Woe is we!

[opihimoimoi]

20. Just looking at his eyez will confirm yo wisdom.

He is slow. missing a few teeth in his gears. spurts a lot. and dumb as a horse shoe...altho that is debatable...

all this because of Babs imbibbing some strong drinks after fucking all night? O woe unto to us for Bad Barr Luck....

3. My son was answering his questions as the reporters put them to him and

most of the time my son was dead on with his answers....We made a game of it....The man is so pathetic!....Remember how articulate Clinton was?....

[AlinPA]

4. I watched his "news conference" for the sport of seeing him squirm.

He is a joke. Totally ignorant of what is going on around him and in the world. It looks like he needs to go to Crawford to study some more lines to say. He must have seen the word "opine" somewhere and said it at least 5 times in one confused blurting effort to describe Miers.

[0007]

5. Can't anyone state an opinion? "opine" is a word that this

idiot just learned.

[AlinPA]

6. I once worked with a guy that used "opine" all the time. He was a smart

guy; hearing Bush** say it is funny.

[0007]

8. In other words junior look upon his opinions in a particular way

LOL!!

[kittenpants]

7. Isn't there a term for this? When the imitation of something

becomes more real to people than the actual thing, like the 'cultures' at Epcot center for example. It's bothering me that I can't think of it! (anyone know?)

[Bumblebee]

9. Life imitating Art?

[kittenpants]

10. that's the basic idea, but there's a word for it

some postmodern term (Derrida maybe) that I can't remember--not really important, but it's frustrating me that my memory is failing!

[Bumblebee]

11. Some kind of "mimesis"?

[Lisa]

12. simulacrum?

Where the artificial reality takes on a life of its own ... and can end up overwhelming and replacing the "real" thing, even if it's not like it at all. (People still like Jolly Rancher candy even if it tastes nothing like real fruit ... and will often chose it instead?)

I believe some dedicated postmodernist scholar has already written a paper about "Bush as simulacrum"!

[kittenpants]

16. that's the one! thank you for easing my mind.

might have to check that paper out.

[Lisa]

17. it's a bummer, isn't it!

On the one hand, it's cool to know there's a term for this kind of thing (which was just on the tip of your mind, since you've evidently come across it before).

On the other hand, it's kind of depressing that it's there for all to see, yet not many people recognized it for what it was.

I've always wanted to use the words "George W. Bush" and "Foucault" in the same sentence (as in "Bush knows Foucault") -- may I? Just to Derrida him?

p.s. I wonder what Baudrillard would make of all this? I've read some of his writings on simulacra, but I'm not familiar with what other post-modern philosophers have said on the topic. Anyway, I bet he would find lots of examples of "spectacles" and "simulation" in Dubya's White House photo ops.

"In the fable, cartographers draw a map in such detail that it ends up exactly covering the real territory of the empire. The map frays as the empire declines. The reality and the abstraction (map) decline together. By contrast, today that pairing has disappeared. Abstractions are no longer "the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept." No longer is there simulation of a "territory, a referential being, or a substance." Instead, B. sees a "real without origin or reality" being generated "by models." "
*and the map ends up replacing the "real" landscape. (This already does happen, in terms of perception and decision-making -- a lot of planners and policymakers don't bother to check out whether the actual conditions on the ground are accurately represented ... and in an extreme situation, ground-truthing like that would be dismissed as "reality-based community" thinking.)

15. I think most people in this country are starting to feel this way

He's becoming a caricature of himself. There is nothing worse than when people cannot differentiate you from your caricature!!
