1. It was a while ago
Aug. 6, 2004.

I think that was the one that embarrassed me the most of all the incredibly stupid things * has said. Can you imagine people in other countries watching that?

3. Yeah, that's what I said to my stepdad.
How the hell can other people take us seriously? I mean, I'm sure we can take a 7th grade sped and they could have answered the question better.

4. Or at least any 'C' student from
a high school government class.

I can't believe there're people who think his "misspeaks" are down-home funny and make him seem "like one of us." When the hell did seeming like one of us become part of the criteria to be president?

And I'm thinking now about how eloquent Clinton was... or, is. But he also has that charm that makes him seem not at all "uppity." He knows how to connect with people of all types.

Damn, I miss him.

6. He doesn't talk like one of us.
No one I know talks like that. It's a conservative, but pretty educated area. Some people here still say he talks like "one of them." I don't get it. It's like their dumbing themselves down, because they all speak way better than Bush.

It was nice to hear a Republican friend freak out about Bush after the SOTU address. He was like, "you know it's getting really hard to pretend that I like Bush at this point. Human-animal hybrids?!?! What the fuck is that?! Seriously, what the fuck is a human-animal hybrid? That couldn't have been written into his speech. It's like he just got some weird little though and went with it."

It was good to hear that.

5. You think he'd understand it?
"Stop throwing the goddamn dictionary in my face! It's just a buncha words!"

7. what? One that says "possessing independent national authority"?
It's hard to define something that seems obvious.
It is like when I went to the doctor and told him "I can't swallow"
when they (they being the doctor and later several nurses at the hospital) asked "what do you mean?" I was totally stumped.
How could they not already understand the words "I" "can't" and "swallow" and what other words could I find to explain it to them?

9. I'm generally way more intelligent while drunk
I know what sovereignty means and I can define it without saying sovereignty & entities a bunch of times.

10. No sh!t. It's not even CLOSE to a difficult or complicated question.



He is as disingenuous as a seven year old kid who didn't do his homework and gets busted when the teacher calls on him in class, then tries to fabricate an answer to cover for the fact that he doesn't have a f'ing CLUE what he's talking about. It's SO obvious that he didn't know the answer. I LOVED it when the crowd laughed at his pathetic attempt to sound competent.

I have nothing but contempt for that stupid, stupid asshat.


:grr:
