The NEW Official Bush Excuse

[Dogmudgeon]

"He was too tired from a hard day of compassionately helping hurricane victims."

There's always a reason. There's always an excuse. Bush is incapable of assuming responsibility for anything that doesn't work out well. And he's always gotten away with it.

Well, I think that era may have just ended.

1. Use it!

That means that he just can't handle his job. That excuse is a new one and suggests that BOOSH is not able to stand up to pressure and is getting old and TIRED>

He gets paid well and is pampered like a baby. What worker out there could use that exuse when they toil and labor to do their appointed job, ey?

Sure, let them use that excuse. That make our point stronger. Kerry has been hard at work on the trail. He showed us that mind wins over the monkey in us all, every time.

2. He's an Executive. . . Good Executives DELEGATE! . . .

bad Executives (and control freaks) try to do it all themselves.

As President, Bush had a job to do: ready himself, in all ways possible, for the debates. Whatever he wanted to do for the poor people in Florida should have, necessarily, taken second place to getting ready for the debate. He owed that to the American people.

3. What about the hurricane victims themselves.....................

who didn't just fly around in a helicoptor all day and LOOK at damage, they were busy picking up what is left of their lives? I bet some still had the energy to watch the Chimp get his ass handed to him. What a totally lame excuse. But what else would you expect from a totally lame pResident?

4. I Love It!!! Yes, Let's Spread It Far & Wide

Then let's show what the manchild really did yesterday. Got in a copter, flew around for a bit...landed and got into a motorcade and rode to a photo op. Damn that's tiring and surely the 15 minutes he actually spent talking to the chosen photo-opper (who probably had to sign a loyalty oath) and other "victims" (including mostly local party hacks). Then back in the limo, into the bubble and onto the debate.

Sorry, I thought this was a "war pResident"...a man of action and of endless energy.

I sure hope this excuse works its way up the I-4 corridor...to the folks fighting to find food, shelter & gas and are awaiting on all the aid the manchild's promised but hasn't been delivered. I'm sure they'll give him some slack.

5. Like you said, there's always an excuse.

Last night I felt like I was watching a school boy who had just been reprimanded and it seemed as if he was just issuing one excuse after another. That is NOT the sign of a strong, decisive president.

6. This is something that could be objectively checked

A) How much time did he actually spend comforting hurricane victims?

B) Isn't this exactly like his excuse for not doing more on 9-11? He didn't want to scare the kiddies?

7. he should have sent Dick Cheney to comfort the Hurricane victims

Cheney is so warm and personable, everybody loves him
