An epiphany. I foresee the end of Bush.

[lil-petunia]

Yup, that's right.

Watching the faux cowboy swagger outside of the White House, watching his smarmy, smirking over-confident attitude when talking about mandates, and watching him replace anyone with a independent, creative mindset with a sycophant, he is turning himself into the Humpty Dumpty President.

It's a narrow wall upon which he sits. It's getting windy and stormy, and balancing atop that skinny wall is becoming next to impossible. I don't expect much of a bounce when it finally happens.

[BJ]

1. That's no swagger.

Out my way we say he walks like he's got a cob up his ass.

[shrub chipper]

23. ...and he's afraid it will fall out!

(the cob, that is)

[Bullshot]

34. Where I come from, we call it "hemorhoids."

[hippiechick]

2. If an Egg falls off a wall ...

... and the press reports it as a 'successful bungee jump to show how confident and athletic' he really is, was it really a fall ?


:shrug:


:hippie:

[stellanoir]

6. LOL

Successful. . .?

Splat.

Now put him back together again. . .

[hippiechick]

8. KKKarl: The new and improved, Scrambled George Bush ...

spin
spin
spin ...


:hippie:

[billyskank]

24. Do you remember

when he lost consciousness and banged his head on the table because he was wasted^H^H^H^H^H^H eating a pretzel and choked on it?

Didn't the media say that it was because he was so superhumanly fit and his heart rate was so low that he was able to lose consciousness yada yada yada bullshit?

[hippiechick]

25. Exactly.

:toast:

:hippie:

[knowbody0]

3. i just love epiphanies

yep, omelet. warning: not edible

[Steely_Dan]

31. Breakfast at Epiphanies

[whistle]

4. How about giving him a push then, what will it take to make the egg...

...tumble?

[lil-petunia]

7. If you push, he pushes back. Reminds me a bit of Mao

The Cultural Devolution was the best way to invite out all of those who had a different idea, most of the constructive. The call to open up new ideas, exchange criticisms on bulletin boards, and seek new and improved ways of doing things swept the country.

Then he shot them.

Bush had it done in the DoD, EPA and Ag, he is having that done in the CIA, next State, and Justice. ALthough it is hard to tell with all the bibles blocking your view, whether Justice still has honest, ethical attorneys who still understand and follow the Constitution.

Now, let the gravity of the situation work on its own. A push might warn him as to his own danger. He is egotistical enough and proud enough to pull another Newt. Remember when Newt started reading his own press and pontificated about vaginas in foxholes?

[grasswire]

17. let a thousand flowers bloom...

....let the hundred schools of thought contend.

An interesting parallel, perhaps.

[Gyre]

28. There is a tactical dichotomy present here

One side says give 'em enough rope. And the other side says resist till we drop. Since we don't have enought political power to be anything other than an irritant when we resist, I say we let them take the bit in their teeth. They'll self-destruct faster that way, than if we actively resist.

Gyre

[whistle]

38. Yes, apparently vaginas and foxholes do not mix according to Newt...

...but he was not able to explain publicly why that was. So he used the fall back that women's menstrual cycles meant that they could not maintain sanitation in combat situations and would be prone to infections and extreme discomfort. What he really wanted to say but was too embaressed publicly to discuss was that male soldiers are far too sensitive to the sexual pheromones which women emit. Thus, male soldiers in battle conditions deprived of sex would be driven crazy by these sexual messenger hormones and would spend more energy fu*cking than fighting. Gee, do you think that might have been why we got the situation witnessed at Abu Ghraib prison?

[lil-petunia]

39. are you suggesting that Newt was right?

NO wonder he is a "senior" spokesman in favor of this Might Makes Right Administration.

[babylonsister]

5. Instead of BEING the puppet, Shrubbie now

has an opportunity to pull the strings of his very own puppets.

[demodonkey]

9. I watch Bush, I SEE Nixon, circa November 1972.

nt

[lil-petunia]

10. I forgot when he resigned.

1973?

[michigandem2]

13. August of 1974...2 months after I was born! LOL!

[PlanetBev]

16. You know your history, Michigandem, down to the month

Gives me hope for the youngins'

I was 23 then, and didn't quite grasp the whole thing.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

20. Geez

I thought it was 73, too. I was almost four years old when he resigned, I had no idea it was so late...you sure it wasn't 73? I coulda sworn....

[Glenmar]

14. He resigned in August 1974 eom

[cubsfan forever]

21. Yep, I remember King Richard

falling from grace, and he was a whole lot smarter and tougher than Commander FullDiaper. August 9, 1974, a great day in American history. What the young ones won't know (maybe) is that conventional wisdom had it that Nixon wouldn't be impeached because an even more slimy, hated, fascist was waiting in the wings-Spiro T. Agnew III. Agnew was forced out before Tricky Dick and Gerald Ford became unelected President. Quite a tradition for the elephants, don't you think?

Professor 2

[zippy890]

32. ME TOO

These A*holes are going DOWN

[Mr_Spock]

11. I can't believe it!! I was JUST going to post about the arrogant *

and his sycophant Condi and you beat me to it. I just looked up the word sycophant becuase I was trying to find a word for Condi that wasn't considered inappropriate here.

THANK YOU!! You stated the jist of what is going on here as concisely as anything I could have!! :D

[lil-petunia]

12. grate mines stink alight

I just hope we survive until he falls.

[CBHagman]

15. Amen to that.

May we all live to see it. May people of peace and justice rise up to change the face of the Earth.

19. He had people working with him who had an independent

creative mindset?

Really?

[lil-petunia]

22. compared to the replacements? sure thing

Powell
Armitage
O'Neill
Clarke
Some of the CIA deputies
If i thought about it, I am sure there are others.

[TexasSissy]

26. I hope you're right. I fear you're not.

[poppet]

27. For some reason, I have had the Humpty Dumpty

rhyme in my head lately too. I even looked it up online a few weeks ago ....


"Alice waited a minute to see if he would speak again, but as he never opened his eyes or took any further notice of her, she said, "Good-bye!" once more, and, on getting no answer to this, she quietly walked away: but she couldn't help saying to herself as she went, "Of all the unsatisfactory---" (she repeated this aloud, as it was a great comfort to have such a long word to say) "of all the unsatisfactory people I ever met---" She never finished the sentence, for at this moment a heavy crash shook the forest from end to end. "

[Technowitch]

29. From your mouth to the Goddess's ears, baby

[Doctor_J]

30. that's the spirit

we just need to find out how to push him off without risking anyone's life.

[DuaneBidoux]

33. I don't agree. Bin Laden or another terrorist will once again

catapult our leader to great heights as a "war president." And if it doesn't happen spontaneously he'll do everything he can to make sure it happens. That's the one benefit conservatives (of all nations) have over liberals. They all help each keep each other in power across the oceans by continuing to threaten each other.

[lil-petunia]

37. You are correct that there will be some event. But of what nature?

One question is whether it will be manufactured here by the admin, or occur on its own from enemies abroad. I would put nothing, NOTHING, past Dick Cheney.

Regardless of that, other crises, not terra-based, will test this ad"Mini-ME"stration. Every admin has been tested from abroad, every term, every time. Sometimes it is just the Chinese flexing their muscles. Other times, it is Russia. THis time? Who knows. but it will happen, and the entire world will be held breathless to see how these sycophants react.

A lock-step, denial of error, unilateral, conviction-based response which backfires is the most likely result.

Watch for it in the first 60 days after swearing in.

[Solomon]

35. I agree. He's replacing everybody with yes men. Not good.

[Silverhair]

36. Yes. On Jan, 20, 2009.

Sorry, I just don't see it before then.

[mrgorth]

40. I also have that sense.
