Bushies feeling the boss' wrath

[cynatnite]

WASHINGTON - Facing the darkest days of his presidency, President Bush is frustrated, sometimes angry and even bitter, his associates say.

snip:
Presidential advisers and friends say Bush is a mass of contradictions: cheerful and serene, peevish and melancholy, occasionally lapsing into what he once derided as the "blame game." They describe him as beset but unbowed, convinced that history will vindicate the major decisions of his presidency even if they damage him and his party in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

snip:
"The President is just unhappy in general and casting blame all about," said one Bush insider. "Andy gets his share. Karl gets his share. Even Cheney gets his share. And the press gets a big share."

snip:
Bush is so dismayed that "the only person escaping blame is the President himself," said a sympathetic official, who delicately termed such self-exoneration "illogical."

1. In other words

Bush is fucking nuts.

2. They deserve what they get.

The President is just unhappy in general and casting blame all about," said one Bush insider. "Andy gets his share. Karl gets his share. Even Cheney gets his share. And the press gets a big share."

What these people have been willing to do just to be close to the seat of power has earned them every invective that could be heaped on them. Don't feel a bit sorry for them. They helped create and to sustaine this travesty.

I have only one thing to say to them "Karma bites."

3. My, My, My, The Daily News again?

This is interesting coming from what has often been a pretty "establishment" outlet.

4. The surreal mentality

of so many Americans that beleive that US is the greatest nation and can do no wrong will be the downfall of the US.
That is what happen to Rome.

5. So much for the...

... "leader of the free world."

Sounds as if the drunken frat boy is coming out. Leader? I don't think this asshole could lead a pack of cub scouts out of a city park.

It's everyone else's fault, except his... any bets that he lied to Fitzgerald in his interview with him, and Fitzgerald took umbrage at that? Certainly, he would think he was smarter than Fitzgerald, and that he could intimidate him.

3-to-2 odds that, at least, Bush is named an unindicted co-conspirator....

6. You won't find the answers in the bottom of that bottle Dumbya!

Or the next, or the next, or the next!

He was the "Best" that his sorry party of liars, crooks, murderers, pimps, false prophets, scoundrels and skunks, had to offer. That says A HELL OF A LOT, about the GOP. The GOP can't EVER beat us, IF we don't let them cheat. I only hope that Fitzgerald is as worried about his own legacy, as Bush is about his.

Being pResident is "HARD WORK!" "Hard Work" is something Bush has never done a day of in his sheltered, pampered, life.

7. Leadership isn't blaming your employees, not bullhorn moments, no photoops

Bush is incapable of leadership because he has no self-discipline, no vision, no inner strength, no core. He can't lead the nation, can't lead the Republican Party, and can't even lead the Whitehouse.

8. So bush believes "history will vindicate the major decisions of his..

presidency". Maybe I'm wrong but didn't he once say something like history didn't matter because we'll be dead.

9. Bush's true character is coming out under stress

I guess that to most conservatives, Bush's true character is a surprise. Most progressives knew what Bush was like.

10. Complete and utter bullshit.......

I agree bush is probably acting like a spoiled 5 year old about now, but to suggest that he's just now learning of the depth and breadth of his boy's involvement in this is ludicrous.

This spoiled child had had everything handed to him all his life and adversity has never been part of the equation. He's throwing blame around everywhere, everywhere but at himself where the REAL blame belongs. He hired this cabal, condoned their actions and in all probability ordered some of them.

The true mark of a man's character lays in how he handles adversity. It's quite evident that bush's character is seriously lacking which comes as no big surprise to any of us. I only hope the rest of America is watching as well.

11. This is such Nixon-like behavior..

..it's like I'm having a flashback. I wonder which pictures Bush is talking to in the dark hours of the night.

[Walt Starr]

12. He knows damn well and good he broke the law and lied us into

a war of choice.

And he's terrified that Fitzgerald can prove it, too.

[C_U_L8R]

13. I hope he goes right over the edge....

I'd love to be fly on the wall as his cronies
are all indicted and frogmarched off to jail.
I imagine it'd be funnier than Dr Stangelove,..
...but nukular.

[Rageneau]

14. I think he's due for another facial abrasion

(But of course I always think that.)

15. And when Marie Antionette said let them eat cake...

When Marie Antionette asked someone why the peasants were rioting, she was told they rioted because they had no bread. Her response was, "Well, let them eat cake." She couldn't even comprehend that they had no bread, no cake, no whatever; no food period. They were eating grass (and perhaps lupines**), and they were starving and dying. She didn't understand why or how, and didn't really care - after all, it wasn't her fault. It wasn't malevolent neglect on her part; just the complete absence of any connection to the same reality.

I can never decide: Is he really that bubble-ized, or is he just sociopathic?

18. I believe he's equal parts both.

His "socio-economic" group, for the most part, has NO concept of reality. These are the kind of people who create realities to hide in.

16. Confirmation of Capital Hill Blue article a month ago.

Hey George, the buck stops here! Do us a favor and fall on your sword or go find a volcano to throw yourself into.
