[kpete]

A Bushism

1. I talk to the families who die. I understand there's sectarian violence.

2. OMG

I can't believe that this is somehow deemed acceptable in our country, that a sitting pResident could make such a remark.

Frightening, that the bar can go SO LOW.. wow :)

Thanks for posting this!

[lapfog_1]

7. Clinton would stay up till 3am speed reading reports.

and had an absolute mastery of the subjects within each.

15. Roades Scholar (sp?) !!

He had an Edjumacation too tho, so hardly fair.. wait a minute, didn't Bush go to some school? The SHORT BUS to Harvaard and Yale, BOTH?

Jesus, "LOOK! IT can READ!"

Those reading lessons from his Library Wife must be really paying OFF, eh? :)

"Well sir, we weren't sure if you'd have time to read this, so we made a Cartoon of it for you - by the same people that do SchoolHouse Rock!"

"Good, I like Rocks." :)

34. rhoades scholar vs. road apple

brain-power wise

[xultar]

3. While he waits thousands will die.

[Tesha]

4. He probably used it like the Sears Catalog used to be used. (NT)

[Fridays Child]

5. I know. Isn't that the most offensively amazing remark--I mean, since his last most...

...offensively amazing remark? I commented on it in another thread because it just blew me away.

[Bob Loblaw]

6. To show how important this is

that soundbite should lead the evening news.

To quote an old boss and mentor of mine, "That guy would fuck up a concrete tricycle."

[maddezmom]

8. If we were to fail, that failed policy will come to hurt generations of Americans in the future.

I also believe we're going to succeed. I believe we'll prevail. Not only do I know how important it is to prevail, I believe we will prevail.

I understand how hard it is to prevail. But I also want the American people to understand that, if we were to fail -- and one way to assure failure is just to quit -- is not to adjust and say it's just not worth it.

If we were to fail, that failed policy will come to hurt generations of Americans in the future.

19. maddezmom, is this an actual snippet from the bush-hole?

it's really hard to tell, I think u understand...

[maddezmom]

9. Arrogant jerk. I hate the condescending manner in which he addresses the public.

[Maddy McCall]

10. LMAO

He's an idiot.

[Missy M]

11. He's admitting he reads only what he wants to and the rest....

be damned. Isn't that what he did regarding Saddam and WMD's. If a lot of reports in Washington aren't read by anybody, why bother to do the reports. I cringe to think of a report with vital info not being read. It's scary.

[maddezmom]

14. worse yet, now it's the radical Sunni and Shiites trying to gain power....

And when you throw into the mix a radical Shia and radical Sunni trying to gain power and topple modern governments with energy, which they could use to blackmail Great Britain or America or anybody else who doesn't kowtow to them, and a nuclear weapon in the hands of a government that would be using that nuclear weapon to blackmail to achieve political objectives, historians will look back and say, "How come Bush and Blair couldn't see the threat?" That's what they'll be asking.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/07/AR2006120700836.html


yeah, who'd a thunk it :eyes:

[Missy M]

22. His insight is brilliant, just brilliant......

also, with his comment about historians looking back, it proves he thinks he rules the world and no other countries or leaders matter, except his little lap dog Blair. From reading the comments of Bush and Blair I guess the new buzzword is moving "forward", forward has replaced stay the course.

23. and prevail...great post here by radfringe

:hi:

[Missy M]

28. It is a great post, still has me laughing.....

Bush believes - if I say it enough, it will happen. I used to think that way when I was a kid.

[NYC Liberal]

12. Too bad he didn't read the PDB before 9/11.

Ah Bush - always taking charge AFTER the shit has already hit the fan. What a guy.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Probably the first thing the stupid fuck ever read without pictures in it.

If he even did read it, which I doubt.

Sorry for the language, he just pisses me off................

[radfringe]

16. and it will be used to cover up the embarassing naughy bits

[cassiepriam]

17. He means he rarely reads any reports. nt

[patricia92243]

18. Did he actually say this or is this just a made-up thing to be funny. I ask because it really had c

crossed my mind to wonder if Bush would even READ the report - much less act on it.

He is know for wanting his reports to be give to him verbally- which means he has to rely solely on his memory to make "decisions."

[spanone]

20. I'd bet a million he DIDN'T read it. He got a summary of the 'good' parts uncle Dick let him see.

[QuestionAll...]

21. get the Gong Show hook and take this clown off the stage!

what an embarrassment!
I know he is famous for his stupidity but holy cow it hits me with a fresh punch everytime.

[LSK]

24. he actually said that?

:wow:

[QuestionAll...]

27. yes. it's way overtime for the Night of the Long Sleeves.

commit the fugger.
drag him off that podium in mid slurs and fit him with the coat.

[librechik]

26. now I REALLY know he didn't read it

all I needed was that pronouncement.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. At least, the small words. nt

[catmandu57]

30. Read it my ass

At the most some flunky may have hit the highlights while dodging monkey shit. I'll be so glad when this fucker is gone and we have an actual thinking president once again.

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Does little Bushie want a gold star?

[Bobbie Jo]

32. Read it huh? Was it written on a 4th grade reading level?...n/t

[SeattleGirl]

33. So.....does he want kudos for doing his freakin' job?

No pats on the head from me, Georgie. I'd just as soon kick you in the backside.
