Is * looking much worse than usual?
I'm just this evening catching some clips of * giving his little talk on energy today. Even in the few seconds they're showing, he's slurring, drawling, pausing in inappropriate places, smirking, whining, leaning--all at once. Now, yes, these are things he always does, but it seemed so much worse today. I know that they usually clip out his very best moments for airing on the news, so the rest of the speech must have been totally embarrassing.

13. I figure he must be exhausted.
It's hard work playing CYA 24/7.

17. It's also hard work flying around on Airforce One every freakin' day
and not doing shit to help this country.

How did we get stuck with this f*cking lemon, again?

18. He needs to park that plane for a while. I wonder how much
fuel that thing uses for his little junkets to go around the country trying to drum up support for his half-baked schemes. Most pictures I see of him, he's either strolling across the lawn to get in the helicopter or he's getting off of Air Force 1.

2. The man does seem more uncomfortable than usual.
It might help if he knew what he was talking about, but of course, that's a pie-in-the-sky fantasy.

Somebody must have sat Junior down and explained that his political capital account is deep in the red.

9. He said he had political capital, and he was going to spend it.
And just like the federal budgets he approves of, he spent way more than he actually had.

Thankfully he didn't get very much for his political capital, although he got more than it was worth.

15. Hi to you, A Simple Game. Yes. With a deficit account it seems as if
his legislative agenda is dead in the water.

And there's the shadowy presence of Jim Baker lurking furtively in the back offices of the White House now.

Something's up.

19. Yes there is Jim Baker.
The only one in the whole bunch that has a functioning brain, warped as it may be.

Sadly he does seem to be able to get things done.

4. An angry drunk?
That slurring can only be alcohol.

7. I Noticed That, Too

Actually when Bush is angry it sounds more like whining, but that's what he seems to be doing. He always seems pissed off.

6. I guess things are getting bad in the Fuhrer bunker.
It seems like Fuhrers and would be Fuhrers always lose it when the tide has turned and the enemy is advancing.

8. And did you see the photos of Bush visiting
former President Ford? You can tell: there is something really wrong with this man. He smiled inappropriately, looked almost goofy as he stood next to the president.

He just overdoes everything: he's really over the top. I wonder how much more he can handle emotionally.

11. He was told he'd have weekends off and only have to make a speech or
so a week in front of a canned audience, he was lied to and he's figgered out that pRedientin is hard work. Plus he was never up for this task.

16. He sounds unconvinced
Catapulting that propoganda is hard work. He is gives me the impression that he knows no one believes anything he says any longer.

21. Which pisses him off, which then causes him to become arrogant and
condescending and defensive. :rofl:

23. Malignant Narcissist Rot From The Inside Out
He is going to look a lot worse in the next few months. Trust me Bush is in a death spiral. My voodoo doll has been working over time and I just got a message in a vivid dream that things are sliding down fast. Karl will be indited in the next few weeks. He is going to look REALLY FARKING BAD...SOON KIDS...SOON!
