Do you think Bush even knows what the "internets" is????

[Kerry in 04]

Damn he is stupid. And he is in charge of the most powerful country in the world. Pretty damn scary.

1. I replayed that clip for my kids today (6 & 9)....

without me even saying anything, they picked up on "the internets" and corrected *.

The 9-year-old also thought that the meltdown over the draft was amusing/scary.

I love my kids!

2. Well, he does

play video games for two hours a day, from what I've read, but I guess the internets is just too complicated for little chimpy. All them big words 'n stuff.

3. does

the other internet have porn and do we use yyy. instead of www.?

[theorist]

6. One of the internets uses xxx. I think you know what that one's for. n/t

[MichaelHarris]

7. I'm pretty hip

to the xxx.com internet it's the other one like yyy.don't-we-impeach-the-bastard.org I didn't know about.

[theorist]

9. Here's a good site to check out.

http://xxx.lanl.gov/

(It's not a porn site, by the way. It's a prepint archive of physics papers hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).)

10. mmmmmm

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, now thats some freaky stuff.

[Jade Fox]

4. That slip seems like something someone who rarely/never uses...

the internet would make. That was my first impression.

Given that Bush is said to have NO patience with struggling to learn
anything, I doubt if he is even computer savy. And getting info is a job
for the help.

13. Bush is Computer-Illiterate and Proud Of It

[Iris]

5. itn' it like Walmarts and K-marts? n/t

[chookie]

8. You know -- AOL, Mindspring, Comcast

Maybe he's confusing "service providers" with "internets".

Hey -- he doesn't read to begin with, so why the hell does he care about internets?

[Robert Oak]

11. considering his cybersecurity czar resigned in disgust...

The "Internets" is way more than just the typical Dubya error.

He is so oblivious to outsourcing being a threat to national security
and truly obviously to cybersecurity.

People just don't get that Al Queda has a lot of engineers, highly educated people, yet we outsource government engineering to foreign countries.

This is a disaster waiting to happen and "Internets" sums it up!

[UTUSN]

12. Or "Third WorldS" n/t

[AGiordino]

14. Sure he does, they's over on Fark 5/8 of the way down the page

15. No,

I think he just wanted to sound "folksy" and unfamiliar with that there new-fangled technologicalities.

[amazona]

16. he hasn't a clue

Just as his dad didn't have a clue how groceries get rung up in the grocery store.

All he knows is that somehow, somewhere, the "internets" is spreading rumors about him. How it works, how it is different from TV...he has no idea. I doubt he has ever logged on in his life.
