So no more public "scatology" (eschatology) was Bush acknowledging to Miers that he can't talk about his real religious beliefs in his public addresses, especially the end of the world that he believes he's presiding over (creating).

Leave it to Bush to turn his and Miers religious beliefs into shit and obscenity. Of course that's how I feel about the religious right wing so I really prefer the "Bushism" form.

1. Oh. My. God.

Bush: The perfect blend of illiteracy and lunacy.

Whoever picked this one out of the trash is brilliant.

[sunnystarr]

8. I bet Miers had to look it up after she read it

How I'd love to see the look on her face when she discovered what "scatology" meant. From her quote, "The president is the most brilliant man I have ever met," it's a wonder that this didn't make her wonder about her own judgement lol.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Dupe. (No pun intended.)

3. 'Twas my Chinese friend--Sam T'ing.

[sunnystarr]

16. omg lol ... I just got that (but I'm blonde) (nt)

[EST]

21. Teehee!

Edited to add: you may be blonde, but it's obvious that you're quicker than most.

[Jackpine Radical]

19. So there was this Chinese guy named Stanislaus Jablonski.

Somebody asked him how he got that name. He said, "I was in the immigration line. They asked the fellow ahead of me what his name was. He said "Stanislaus Jablonski." Then they asked me for my name. I said "Sam T'ing."

[EST]

22. Yeah, I met him, too.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. I have Christian friends who tell me

that Bush is the Anti-Christ.

[mattclearing]

5. Wow. That certainly would make sense.

Unreal if it's true.

[tk2kewl]

6. presidential historians in the coming decade will have a lot in common

with scatologists

[adubadee]

7. what the hell!!??

"Leave it to Bush to turn his and Miers religious beliefs into shit and obscenity. Of course that's how I feel about the religious right wing so I really prefer the "Bushism" form."

There are zero reasons for him to ever use that word. We should all be very scared that he even thinks about the end of the world.

[opihimoimoi]

14. That fucking Hitler knew he was dying..."So what if Germany dies too"

That ass hole had syphilis...the fatal kind...and he was aware and being treated secretly for it. He allowed the destruction and deaths of his people.cities...I guess he wanted company in death.

Is Bush Sick? Indications are he suffers from something pretty bad.

[sunnystarr]

15. Be very afraid then

This is just a sample of what's out there so google to find out more. When some of Bush's statements (like God talking to him) created a stir among journalists along with articles nervous about who was running our country, Bush was advised by those close to him (I'm sure including Miers) to tone it down. After that he's been thought to be "talking in code" to his religious followers with scriptural references to let them know he's still on (their) message.

True believers will kill and excuse any killing if they believe it moves them closer to their goal. In Guyana, the goal was some kind of heavenly transport. I fear that a similar goal is the hope of those Christian followers of George Bush who want their apocalypse before they die.

Ashley also points out that both Bush and Blair talk about terrorism not in honest empirical terms but in "tellingly biblical language," both seeing religion-based terrorism as being designed "to bring about armageddon." By seeing the world so, they make the world so.
...
Bush loyalists are accurately seen (given their willingness to abide White House lies and fabrications) as being religiously blind and incorrible, above reason and honest human truth. They are seen as blindly setting the stage for armegeddon and the fulfillment of religious prophecy.

Look. This much has become clear. Bush is, more than anything else, an extreme fundamentalist Christian. He is widely regarded as the most openly pious and sanctimonioous president in modern American history. He actually preaches the GOP screed in evangelical churches across America. He panders so slavishly to the anti-choicers and the Bible-thumpers and the homophobes it makes Jerry Falwell swoon and giggle.

Everything in the Book of Revelation is coming true. George W. Bush, directed by God, Himself, is destroying life as we know it, thereby facilitating the apocalypse that the apostles promised would happen quickly after Jesus’ death. Once it happens, the meek will inherit the (now uninhabitable) earth and the rest of us will ascend to our skyboxes in Heaven to watch the glorious carnage. Praise!

The book also shows that in the lead-up to announcing his candidacy for the presidency, Bush told a Texan evangelist that he had had a premonition of some form of national disaster happening.

Bush said to James Robison: 'I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.'

The Reverend Billy Graham taught Bush to live in anticipation of the Second Coming but it was his friendship with Dr. Tony Evans that shaped Bush's political understanding of how to deport himself in an apocalyptic era. Dr. Evans, the pastor of a large Dallas church and a founder of the Promise Keepers movement taught Bush about "how the world should be seen from a divine viewpoint," according to Dr. Martin Hawkins, Evans assistant pastor.

Apocalypse Bush!
Why care for the planet when the End Times are almost here? Vote Bush and hop on the salvation train!

9. Not hard to see how Shrub got them mixed up...

You know, TURDblossom...

How about this theory? Anyone who will stick their head far up his ass!!! Bad joke. Bad Fooj. LOL!

Peace.

10. Technically known as "anal-ocular response."

[sunnystarr]

18. Actually I believe Miers verbally told Bush

to tone down his public eschatology, and he asked her what it meant. He sure didn't want to show further ignorance about its spelling. When he sent her the birthday card, he wanted to show his "intelligence" and he wrote what he had heard (guess he missed the short "e" at the beginning).

The irony and comedy of course is that Bush believed he was spelling it correctly and didn't have a clue that it was wrong and what in its misspelled form the word actually meant.

[tridim]

11. I think shrub and Miers have a scat fetish with each other

I didn't write the note, Bush did.. Prove me wrong.

Maybe someone should ask Scotty about it? That would be hilarious.

[ClayZ]

12. Let them eat Scat n/t

[boston bean]

13. I believe there is a saying that goes something like this..

scatology is only one step away from eschatology.

Like you are being fed a line of shit regarding the belief in the end of the world.

Or something to that effect.

[Lucille]

17. I think she just blurted "sh!t"

and he was chiding his adoring groupie.

Bush does not know scatology from eschatolgoy from proctology. One thing they all have in common: The study of "ends."

[Lisa]

24. maybe there's some hope for her ...

After all, someone with normal critical thinking skills would have the natural impulse to blurt that out, upon seeing *.

[progressoid]

20. You say potato...

I think that's pretty close to a Freudian Slip.

Frankly, I think Bush & Miers' religious beliefs are shit. Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to say things like that; I might offend someone. Oops.

[jbnow]

25. I think those you would offend

are not reading here.

To say bush's religious beliefs are shit should not even be offensive to "Christians" if Christianity is meant to have something to do with Christ and the written teachings of Jesus.
Anyone who will proclaim "Jesus" and then lie, have unjust wars, not care for the poor and the hungry, burden the masses to benefit the few...
Well if he is taking in those words he sure isn't living them so he must be having them go out the other way as shit.

Even Jesus, man or myth, called people like bush and other hypocritical rich leaders scorpions and sons of satan.

So you wouldn't even be offending Jesus. He'd probably say "Oy vay, no shit proggressoid. I told them the same thing in my day. They try to look all righteous but inside they're full of shit"

[izzybeans]

23. So perhaps Bill Hicks wasn't joking.

Perhaps he learned the whole skat thing from BABS sr.

I can't believe he's that fucking stupid to make a mistake like that.

Perhaps he thought he might of been referring to "Doop she bop, shang a lang a lang, lordy dang when Hari shits on da gubanatorial wang." How dare they scat on the grave of Benjamin "Scatman" Cruthers, his role as Jazz in Transformers the Movie is legendary.

I can see the president accidentally mixing his metaphors though.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

26. Here I thought it was the study of Ella's best singing. live and learn.

but since everything else Bush has touched has turned to shit, this use of words is no surprise.

27. Excellent post
