Regarding men who cut brush with chainsaws.
Is it possible that brush cutters tend to be frustrated with their lack of ability to make others bow down before them?

A chainsaw can be a great “decider” on this issue. The “bowing down” becomes involuntary.

Okay, you know who I’m talking about. In my opinion, putting a chainsaw in Bush’s hands is like giving a kid a gun.

Let’s face it. We’re talking about a man who is so mentally and physically clumsy that I suspect the Secret Service has standing orders to give him a “prop” chainsaw for photo ops.

So my apologies to all of you real brush cutters out there. My initial comments do not refer to you. They are about a hollow man who has failed at everything in life and has spent seven years taking out his revenge upon the world.

How fitting that a chain saw has become one of his major props.

1. Shit, I use chain saws all the time. Brush is a bitch
Really, if you are trying to cut and there are lots of small limbs and particularly if there is any sort of underbrush, it really gets dangerous. Chain saws are really bad news safety wise anyway, you get shit in the way and its real easy to get badly hurt in a heartbeat. I managed to cut myself across the kneecap one time - it scared the living shit out of me even though I just barely caught myself. Tap-tap-tap, and bingo, there was blood everywhere.

4. My dad got his arm once.
He was cutting scrub trees out of an area in our back yard, and apparently there had been a barbed wire fence there previously that we hadn't known about. The saw caught on that and leaped back, getting Dad's arm really badly. He still has the scar. Thank goodness he still has the arm.

Still, when you have that kind of stuff to get rid of, chainsaw's your best tool. Just be careful with it.

18. Lets see... as one poster stated he didn't see any brush on the ranch.
Therefore must be brought in for staging purposes.

What would happen if a good pile of the stuff intertwine with barb wire and bigger branches with nails driven into them would be left laying nearby? Think those stagers would take the easy way and swipe it thinking nothing wrong with it?

3. I'm sure they start it for him and hand it off when the cameras start.
Doubt if the moron actually ever uses one. They MIGHT let him actually gather the shake from whatever is getting cut up but doubt if they would let that idiot handle power tools.

5. I've watched the clips of him with on in hand. Its scary.
That fuckin' half-whit would really hurt himself if he was to try to keep that nonsense up for an hour. Seriously, he clearly has not clue what he's doing with it - if you watch he'll actually swing it in an arc like a sawing motion. No kidding. Bwahahahahaha.

14. I agree completely.
He doesn't hold it like someone who has actually used it
to do real work. His entire "brush cutter" persona is just
a phoney act for the camera's benefit, and one that he hasn't
spent much time studying for.

7. Those who cut brush because they HAVE to are one thing.
Those who cut brush for sport are quite another thing .. especially when they revel in being photographed doing it.

13. If that fool knew what I know about Texas ticks, he would not be doing that!
I'm thinking Lone Star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) and erlichiosis.

Male Lone Star tick



Female Lone Star tick

17. Too bad there isn't any way to stash them and set them to be released automatically
when he is expected to be there.

19. I guarantee you there are Lone Star ticks on the Crawford ranch.
Of course, King George probably has a Royal Tick Picker who picks the ticks off his bare ass when he comes in for a bourbon and .. er, a lemonade.

10. I cut brush with a chainsaw, but I'm not a man
Ever try to cut bamboo with a regular saw? I have a dainty, lady-like electric chainsaw that does the job in minutes rather than the days it used to take.

Have you seen an aerial view of that place? No brush.

22. They took that chainsaw away from him years ago...the crew felt it was just not worth the risk
Then they gave him a Machette...that too was taken away from him....the lastest pics last year was of him carrying cut brush until the photo op is over....

The other year he was video taped helping at a Humanity for the Homeless Project...the Photo Op showed him holding the claw hammer girlie mon style...full choke...and tapping on a 6 penny nail....It was the last I saw him with any TOOLS in his hands.....
