Let's extract all of the BUSHISMs!

[Stephanie]

TRANSCRIPT

To start:

The enemy understands a free Iraq will be a major defeat in their ideology of hatred. That's why they're fighting so vociferously.

Saddam Hussein had no intention of disarming.
(Ummm - what he was supposed to disarm himself of?)

Of course we're after Saddam Hussein -- I mean bin Laden.

[Roland99]

1. moolah...moolah....moolah!

[Dems Will Win]

21. "we have to speak with clarity, we can't send out MEXED MISSAGES

[TrustingDog]

2. vociferously - is that a hard c sound or a soft c sound?

[Catfight]

20. pronounced, vo-siff-er-esly does that help?

[Sparkly]

25. I thought it was "fercifrously"

My husband postulates he was trying to say either "ferociously" or "vigorously" and combined them into "fercifrously."

[Catfight]

31. You may be right, let me check....

[Catfight]

34. \Vo*cif"er*ous\

[Sparkly]

41. I was kidding.

I was making fun of the way he pronounced it.

[Catfight]

77. Oh, sorry..duh.

[dean_dem]

68. That's what I thought...

It sounded like he was trying to combine "feverishly," "furiously," and "ferociously." I had to get the transcripts later to figure out what he actually said. Maybe he thought by throwing in one of them college-boy words, the American public wouldn't think he was a total moron. I'm afraid it didn't work.

[Hello_Kitty]

106. That's what it sounded like to me. I like your husband's theory. n/t

[Astrochimp]

83. I heard that, and thought........

Bush when to Yale, I just did some tech school, so it MUST be a real word I haven't had the chance to learn!

Yea right.

David

[captain disgruntled]

101. Vociferously?

Um, it means involving making a lot of noise or outcry.
So Shrub is saying that our enemies shout a lot.
Not "fighting savagely" or "desperately" or "violently" but "loudly".

Maybe that's why casualty rates continue to soar.....:shrug:

[newyawker99]

110. Hi captain disgruntled!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Stephanie]

3. "It's like a huge tax gap."

I don't think we want to get to how he's going to pay for all these promises. It's like a huge tax gap. Anyway, that's for another debate.

[Stephanie]

4. (Mueller ) comes in my office when I'm in Washington every morning

From the Vacation President:

I work with Director Mueller of the FBI; comes in my office when I'm in Washington every morning, talking about how to protect us. There's a lot of really good people working hard to do so.

[AP]

89. He text messages me when I'm in debate class every day.

[SammyWinstonJack]

103. Gawd!

What an incredibly simplistic idiot! And with the IQ of a gnat!

[skygazer]

5. Noocular

But my all-time favorite - "Of course I know that Osama bin Laden attacked us! I mean.... I knew that!"

[regularguy]

6. "Group of folks"

[Phillycat]

7. "LET ME FINISH"

[doni_georgia]

85. Exactly who the fuck WAS he talking to when he said this?

I figured he had to be talking to the voice in his ear piece. One of his handlers was trying to tell him what to say, but he wanted to finish his own thought. Only explanation.

[Phillycat]

100. Or the voices in his head.

[Stephanie]

8. I know how these people think. (re: world leaders)

He knows how they think! He talks to them on the PHONE!

I know how these people think. I deal with them all the time. I sit down with the world leaders frequently and talk to them on the phone frequently. They're not going to follow somebody who says, "This is the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time."

[TrustingDog]

46. so bush sits down with all these leaders and pulls out his phone. heee.

rude bastard.

[AP]

90. Vladumur has my email address. Sometimes we use the world leader chat room

over at AOL.

[Huckebein the Raven]

9. Kim Chong Il .. no relation to Kim Jong Il

Boy those guys must get "mexed missages" all the time. You know, Kim Jong's Victoria Secret Catalog gets sent to Kim Chong, etc.

[TrustingDog]

48. spoken by King Con

[Phillycat]

10. "I see on TV what hard work it is."

[Francine Frensky]

24. I didn't catch that before.

Funny.

[Francine Frensky]

26. the terrorists are a "bunch of folks"

that's gonna go over real well in the south.

[Fla Dem]

30. He actually said "I see it on the TV screen" Who says TV screen?

[Phillycat]

35. Morons?

[Stephanie]

36. Yes - "TV screens"

And now we're fighting them now. And it's hard work. I understand how hard it is. I get the casualty reports every day. I see on the TV screens how hard it is. But it's necessary work.

He's so freaking engaged. He watches the horror he's created on the TV screens.

[Joanne98]

65. That was my favorite. He sees it on the tee vee........lol

[oregon_dem1]

79. Not as funny as it is sad

I found the TV screens comment more sad than funny. It just proves that he doesn't fully understand the horrible realities of war. Experiencing it first-hand is nothing like watching it on TV. Honestly, this man had no idea what he was asking our brave men and women to do when he sent them to Iraq. This comment pretty much proves that.

Someone on another thread said that this comment won't sit well with vets. I think that they are right.

[AP]

91. Unless Survivor's on. Then I'll watch Survior. But they have a hard job...

...too.

[SammyWinstonJack]

104. Arm chair warrior bush*

:evilgrin:

[SoCalDemocrat]

11. What was that new word Bush blurted out early?

The DNC center where I was at was laughing so loud I couldn't make out what it was. He sounded like he was creating a rather long, new word early into the speech. I don't think it will appear in the edited transcripts being posted by the networks. They appear to edit out most of the gaffs.

[Stephanie]

15. It had to be that the enemy is fighting VOCIFEROUSLY

was that it?

[TrustingDog]

50. that word sounds like a dinosaur name... how fitting.

[TrustingDog]

51. voracious craptor is what he was getting at before his missage

got mexed.

[Tyranikal]

12. Working Hard

"Working Hard" is not a foreign policy

"Trust me" - is not a domestic policy

"i know what I'm doing" - is not a homeland security plan

"HEsends Mexed messages" - is a not a plan to get us out of Iraq

[newyawker99]

111. Hi Tyranikal!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Czolgosz]

13. "trans-shipment of information "

"Over 60 nations involved with disrupting the trans-shipment of information and/or weapons of mass destruction materials." I think trans-shipment means unloading and reloading from one vessel to another during carriage. Sort of hard to trans-ship information. I think the boy meant transmission or transfer.

[BurtWorm]

14. "And, of course, Iraq is a central part in the war on terror.

That's why Zarqawi and his people are trying to fight us. Their hope is that we grow weary and we leave."

Idiot, Zarqawi and his people are trying to fight us because a) you let them get away just after the war started and b) you started the damn war in the first place! It's only a "central part in the war on terror" because of your stupid mistakes!

[info being]

16. "They's tryin' to defeat us!"

[texastoast]

17. How many "mixed messages"

I lost count. Didn't he have anything else written on his cheat sheet of phrases to pete and repete?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

27. Mixed tally...

Mixed signals - 3
Mixed messages - 5

And "mexed mix..." - 1

"My concerns about the Senator is that, in the course of this campaign I've been listening very carefully to what he says, and he changes positions on the war on Iraq. It's a -- changes positions on something as ff -- fundamental as what you believe in your core, in your heart of hearts is right for -- in Iraq. I -- you cannot lead if you send mexed miss -- mixed messages."

http://mp3.dubyaspeak.com/mexedmiss.mp3

[Stephanie]

33. They don't want to confuse him with more than one phrase

-----------------
He doesn't want U.S. leadership, however, to send mixed signals, to not stand with the Iraqi people.
-----------------
And I'm optimistic. See, I think you can be realistic and optimistic at the same time. I'm optimistic we'll achieve -- I know we won't achieve if we send mixed signals. I know we're not going to achieve our objective if we send mixed signals to our troops, our friends, the Iraqi citizens.
-----------------
I think that by speaking clearly and doing what we say and not sending mixed messages, it is less likely we'll ever have to use troops.
-----------------
You cannot lead if you send mixed messages. Mixed messages send the wrong signals to our troops. Mixed messages send the wrong signals to our allies. Mixed messages send the wrong signals to the Iraqi citizens.
-----------------

[SammyWinstonJack]

105. What the hell is he saying here?

"I think that by speaking clearly and doing what we say and not sending mixed messages, it is less likely we'll ever have to use troops?


A little late for that isn't it? And bush* is a mexed missage.

[Stephanie]

18. "You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can,"

You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

[Catfight]

29. STOP, you all are KILLING me!!! ROFLMAO

[AP]

92. With the emphasis on "hard."

[democratreformed]

19. We weren't prepared for such a quick victory (in Iraq) n/t

[info being]

23. LOL

It turns out, we drove right past the enemy.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

22. "Osama bin Laden isn't going to determine how we defend ourselves."

We continue to pursue our policy of disrupting those who proliferate weapons of mass destruction.

And that's how best it is to keep the peace.

This nation of ours has got a solemn duty to defeat this ideology of hate. And that's what they are.

That's why they're fighting so vociferously.

They showed up in Afghanistan when they were there, because they tried to beat us and they didn't.

Of course we're after Saddam Hussein—I mean bin Laden.

I think it's worthy for a follow-up.

What's he say to Tony Blair? What's he say to Alexander Kwasniewski of Poland?

So what's the message going to be: "Please join us in Iraq. We're a grand diversion. Join us for a war that is the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time?"

I know how these people think. I deal with them all the time. I sit down with the world leaders frequently and talk to them on the phone frequently.

And there's going to be an Arab summit, of the neighborhood countries.

No, what I said was that, because we achieved such a rapid victory, more of the Saddam loyalists were around. I mean, we thought we'd whip more of them going in.

And now we're fighting them now. And it's hard work. I understand how hard it is. I get the casualty reports every day. I see on the TV screens how hard it is. But it's necessary work.

And I'm optimistic. See, I think you can be realistic and optimistic at the same time. I'm optimistic we'll achieve—I know we won't achieve if we send mixed signals.

It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off, or executed, to a place where people are free.

My opponent just said something amazing. He said Osama bin Laden uses the invasion of Iraq as an excuse to spread hatred for America. Osama bin Laden isn't going to determine how we defend ourselves. Osama bin Laden doesn't get to decide. The American people decide.

You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

I reject this notion—and I'm suggesting my opponent isn't—I reject the notion that some say that if you're Muslim you can't free, you don't desire freedom. I disagree, strongly disagree with that.

First of all, of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that.

My opponent is for joining the International Criminal Court. I just think trying to be popular, kind of, in the global sense, if it's not in our best interest makes no sense. I'm interested in working with our nations and do a lot of it.

Secondly, he said—my opponent said where he worked to put sanctions on Iran—we've already sanctioned Iran. We can't sanction them any more. There are sanctions in place on Iran.

It was not my administration that put the sanctions on Iran. That happened long before I arrived in Washington, D.C.

[Stephanie]

42. "And there's going to be an Arab summit, of the neighborhood countries.'

Good lord.

[Stephanie]

52. "First of all, of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that."

LOL! I think you got them all. What a maroon!

[doni_georgia]

86. I just had all sorts of de ja vu to "I asked my daughter Amy"

Remember how Jimmy quoted little Amy's mispronounciation. That's how dubya said it too - Nukier periferation.

[SammyWinstonJack]

107. I have to hand it to Kerry.

I don't know how he managed to remain so cool, while at the same time having to listen to that bunch of(doesn't make any sense) crap out of the village idiot. What must have been going through his mind at the time, besides thinking that bush* is a lying idiot?

[Dangerman]

28. "The world is better off without Saddam"

Suuuuuuuuuure it is.

[Mrs. Overall]

32. "We've got a multi-PRUNG strategy..."

In his first response to Kerry's opening, Bush talked about 9-11 and said, "We've got a multi-PRUNG strategy"!!

I taped it, so I listened again to be sure, and yes, he said PRUNG!

[TrustingDog]

53. a 3 prunged plug? omg, this shit is so funny & it's not made up...

[Javaman]

37. Bush's toodles....

If you noticed early on, moron wasn't writing down a thing, but Kerry was making notes left and right. I then noticed that moron started writing things. I think he thought to himself, "self, I have to look like I'm doing something here, Kerry is about to finish a book over there".

Also was it just me or did it seem like towards the end of the debate, moron kept looking out to the audience, then he would scribble a little, look again, scribble some more, etc...

[Stephanie]

39. Maybe he was doing caricatures

Of his pals, Condi and Karen and Karl.

[Phillycat]

40. Bush's internal monologue:

"All right brain, just get me out of this one thing and I'll go back to killing you with beer."

(tm the Simpsons)

[Javaman]

45. All right brain, I don't you and you don't like me, you help me here and

I won't ask you for another thing. Deal!
-Simpsons

[Phillycat]

49. I KNOW there was something about "go back to killing you

with beer" in there. Maybe it's another quote.

[Javaman]

58. Two great quotes...:)

And it seems like the Simpsons writers just got more material last night :)

[Phillycat]

61. It's sad when you know the interns on that show are smarter

than the Leader of the Free World.

[ZombieNixon]

94. On a talking point

Matt Groening's other show, Futurama was much more overtly political than The Simpsons. Too bad it got canceled.

[TrustingDog]

54. this is what he was writing:

[Astrochimp]

82. Kerry was playing Bush Bingo too! HAHA

I kept hoping he would mouth "bingo" during one of srubs pauses.

David

[doni_georgia]

87. You know what Kerry was writing? "This guy's a moron."

I can just see Kerry's notes now:

This guy's a moron.
How DID he graduate from Yale?
Oh my God he didn't just say that.
Is he on dope?
What the fuck? :wtf:
Just damn.

[JimmyJazz]

38. I loved the blank stare after he asked for more time.

one more time for this one and then I'm through:





It's one thing to have your head up your ass, it's quite another to enjoy the view.

[liberal N proud]

Love your graphic!

Shrub with his head up his ass.

[BurtWorm]

43. "It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off"

to a place where they get their heads cut off?

"It is hard work. It is hard work to go from a tyranny to a democracy. It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off, or executed, to a place where people are free."

[liberal N proud]

44. It's hard work being the president

[Stephanie]

47. "Well, actually, he forgot Poland. "

Kerry: Secondly, when we went in, there were three countries: Great Britain, Australia and the United States. That's not a grand coalition. We can do better.

LEHRER: Thirty seconds, Mr. President.

BUSH: Well, actually, he forgot Poland. And now there's 30 nations involved, standing side by side with our American troops.

[BurtWorm]

55. "The only consistent [sic] about my opponent's position ..."

"The only consistent about my opponent's position is that he's been inconsistent. He changes positions. And you cannot change positions in this war on terror if you expect to win."

[Stephanie]

56. Hard Work tally = 11

----------------------
In Iraq, no doubt about it, it's tough. It's hard work. It's incredibly hard. You know why? Because an enemy realizes the stakes.
----------------------
I work with Director Mueller of the FBI; comes in my office when I'm in Washington every morning, talking about how to protect us. There's a lot of really good people working hard to do so. It's hard work.
----------------------
...we moved rapidly, and a lot of the Baathists and Saddam loyalists laid down their arms and disappeared. I thought they would stay and fight, but they didn't. And now we're fighting them now. And it's hard work. I understand how hard it is.
----------------------
We've got a plan in place. The plan says there will be elections in January, and there will be. The plan says we'll train Iraqi soldiers so they can do the hard work, and we are.
----------------------
It is hard work. It is hard work to go from a tyranny to a democracy. It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off, or executed, to a place where people are free.
----------------------
You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.
----------------------
There's going to be 125,000 trained by the end of this year. Yes, we're getting the job done. It's hard work. Everybody knows it's hard work, because there's a determined enemy that's trying to defeat us.
----------------------
We've done a lot of hard work together over the last three and a half years. We've been challenged, and we've risen to those challenges. We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace.
----------------------

[Octafish]

97. There’s a lot of good people "workin' hard," too. (add 2)

In addition to the “hard work” of presi-DENT-in’:

There's a lot of good people working hard.

There's a lot of really good people working hard to do so.



The guy’s never worked a day in his life and it shows.

The guy’s insane and it shows.

Then again, you’ve known that for a long time, Stephanie!

[Stephanie]

99. Hard Work/Working Hard tally = 13

They really need to give him a few new lines to recite.

[Stephanie]

57. You know why? Because an enemy realizes the stakes.

In Iraq, no doubt about it, it's tough. It's hard work. It's incredibly hard. You know why? Because an enemy realizes the stakes.

[JerseygirlCT]

59. Mexing missages...

[BurtWorm]

60. "A president cannot wilt . Otherwise, the world won't be better off."

"But what I won't do is change my core values because of politics or because of pressure.

"And it is one of the things I've learned in the White House, is that there's enormous pressure on the president, and he cannot wilt under that pressure. Otherwise, the world won't be better off."

[Stephanie]

62. He thinks he is President of the World

He's always referring to himself as Leading the World. Freaking narcissistic prick.

[BurtWorm]

63. It's also ironic considering how he wilted last night.

Oh, he stuck with his losing "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" position, but his body language made it clear that he was deflated last night. Flaccid little prick.

[Stephanie]

64. Deflated bush - actual picture!

[BurtWorm]

66. God, he looks pathetic!

As usual. ;)

[Joanne98]

67. I didn't sign the International Criminal Court Treaty.........

What he didn't say was BECAUSE I'M A CRIMINAL .....DUH!

[Stephanie]

70. It's a body based in The Hague where unaccountable judges and prosecutors

Why did be BOAST about that?

My opponent talks about me not signing certain treaties. Let me tell you one thing I didn't sign, and I think it shows the difference of our opinion -- the difference of opinions.

And that is, I wouldn't join the International Criminal Court. It's a body based in The Hague where unaccountable judges and prosecutors can pull our troops or diplomats up for trial.

[Joanne98]

73. He's appealing to the "Activist Judges Crowd" See Pat Robertson

for further details.....:)

[Disturbed]

74. Cutin off hands...

"It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off, or executed, to a place where people are free."

Talking about his buddies the Saudis?

[funkybutt]

80. EXACTLY! I don't get what's so great about refusing to be held accountable

WTF! Here we are talking about Milosevic and his men being tried at the Hague, but WE are BETTER than that for some reason?? Oh that should help us get a lot of international support!

[Stephanie]

81. Appealing to his base - the UN hating black helicopter sighting

New World Order fearing paranoid whackos.

[BurtWorm]

69. "I've got a good relation with Vladimir."

"And it's important that we do have a good relation, because that enables me to better comment to him, and to better to discuss with him, some of the decisions he makes. I found that, in this world, that it's important to establish good personal relationships with people so that when you have disagreements, you're able to disagree in a way that is effective."

"Effective"?! Doesn't effective mean that what you say has a chance of being put into effect? Yeah, you sure got ole Vladmer eating out of the palm of your hand, Bushboy. :eyes:

[George W. Dunce]

71. Hey remember he looked

into Putin's soul. You wouldn't doubt that would ya?

[SammyWinstonJack]

108. Shouldn't it be RELATIONSHIP!

He's such a lazy bastard! He doesn't understand or care what comes out of his piehole. Plain speaking my ass! Ignorant condescending arrogant prick!

[Joanne98]

72. Linking Bushism threads.......

I hope you don't mind Stephanie. this one has some good pictures in it. :)

[Stephanie]

76. Not at all - please link!

But I don't see the link - link to what? Another DU thread?

[Joanne98]

84. Sorry

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=944461&mesg_id=944461

[myrna minx]

75. This is the funniest thread I have read in a looooong time.

Thanks to all. :toast:

[sangh0]

78. My fave

"But because Tommy Franks did such a great job in planning the operation, we moved rapidly, and a lot of the Baathists and Saddam loyalists laid down their arms and disappeared. I thought they would stay and fight, but they didn't. And now we're fighting them now. ..."

followed by the inevitable "...And it's hard work. I understand how hard it is. I get the casualty reports every day. I see on the TV screens how hard it is. But it's necessary work."

Watching TV is "necessary work". Oh yeah!...and "it's hard"

[doni_georgia]

88. Hell yeah it's hard work - Tee vee news is directed to at least a 4th grad

grade reading comprehension level. He had problems with that fucking stupid goat.

[athena]

93. I'm a pretty calm guy. I mean, I don't take it personally.

Mr. Lehrer Thirty seconds, Mr. President.

Mr. Bush You know my opinion on North Korea. I can't say it any more plainly.

Mr. Lehrer Right, well, what - he used the word truth again.

Mr. Bush Pardon me?

Mr. Lehrer Talking about the truth of the matter. Used the word truth again. Did that raise any hackles with you?

Mr. Bush I'm a pretty calm guy. I mean, I don't take it personally. But, you know, look, we looked at the same intelligence. And came to the same conclusion. That Saddam Hussein was a grave threat. And I don't hold it against him that he said grave threat. I don't, I'm not going to go around the country saying he didn't tell the truth when he looked at the same intelligence I did.

I am absolutely convinced that Bush* wasn't listening to Kerry's answer and did not understand what Lehrer was asking him. It was painful to watch. I'm surprised no one else mentioned this.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

95. He pronounced Mueller like mullah...

And mullah like Mueller.

Am I wrong? He did say Mull-er not MYOO-ler?

[Stephanie]

96. It was a great day for AMERICA!

Thank you John Kerry! America thanks YOU!

[Octafish]

98. The ChimpError has no clothes.

And of what shows, there's not much "there" there.



BTW: Here's where I got to "working hard":

DISASTER FOR BUSH:  America Clearly Sees At Last That The Emperor Is Naked

Rambling, Incoherent... and It Was Bush Wiping The Sweat Away (and Drinking Heavily)

by Betsy R. Vasquez

OCTOBER 1, 2004 – How bad was it for Bush?

So bad that FOX News' website didn't even run any poll.  So bad that all Matt Drudge could try and boast about on his website was that some Democrat called it a draw.  So bad that even Bush's people could only try to say, Yeah, he lost, but so what.

Other media outlets have been telling you this election would be close and that the debates might be even as well.

We hate to say it (not that much) but we told them so.

Bush got shellacked so badly it was astounding.  He was like a wounded animal desperate for a place to hide but not able to find one.

CONTINUED...

http://www.moderateindependent.com/v2i19chumpcheck.htm

You're absolutely correct, Stephanie! Thank you John Kerry!

Gee. The guy never wilts. Especially when it comes to his -- and our -- country.

[captain disgruntled]

102. I apologize if somebody's already posted this--I'm new

but I didn't see it anywhere else--I didn't catch his precise phrase when he *said* it, but it's plain as day in the transcript: Lehrer asks the two to address one another's character problems (suuuuuuuure Jim), and they make kissy-face comments, and Kerry says of the Bush girls "I‘ve chuckled a few times at some of their comments." And Shrub's face contorted weirdly and he kind of snorted and interjected, "I‘m trying to put a leash on them."

Ooooooookaaay....would you be wearing desert BDU's and combat boots while you do that, Sir??????

Was that a truly unfortunate reference or what??

[MockSwede]

109. No apologies needed

Keep the observations coming! When you repeat his comment from the debate and then think, as you did, BDUs and Combat Boots...... WOW!

Picture his daughters holding the leashes.

OR

Picture them on the leashes in those released photos, instead of Iraqi men....

Whew! Gotta get my imagination around that!

Gonna copy your comment above and forward to others.

Thanks.
