Bush appoints new son in law as deputy chief of staff

[Stinky The Clown]

How small IS that ideological gene pool?

This little fucker was born in 1980! I have underwear older than that.



Repubican rug rats make good.

A year ago he was carrying the idiot son's coat. Now he's actually in control of some government functions.

Those people .............. inbred motherfuckers.

[LostInAnomie]

1. They never learn, do they?

Nepotism, cronyism, etc. If we are paying the tab it just doesn't matter to them.

[Hissyspit]

13. Learn what? They are getting away with most of what they wanted to get away with...

Apart from everyone in the country and in the world disliking them, they have their profits, they have their wars, they have their war-profiteering, they control the debate, they have slashed the bill of rights, and there is no accountability. What's to learn?

[wurzel]

2. He is fully qualified.

[VP505]

16. Qualified for what?

Boot licking?

[Liberal Gramma]

29. Perhaps academically he's qualified

At age 28 I can't imagine that he has the depth of experience necessary to function as a deputy chief of staff, even for a loser like Bush. Bush has a very small circle of acquaintances,and he's appointed nearly all of them to high office without regard to competence, but that may be because it's the only way he's ever got a job himself.

3. They are pretty BOLD with the BS - SMDH n/t

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

4. K&R. Better mind your tongue...

...he may inherit the throne one day.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Hush your mouth!!

Unless this is the throne you are talking about . . .

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

18. If there were any justice Chimpy would sit on this one...

[Captain Angry]

5. Deputy Chief of Staff in the President's office?

That will write his ticket into any firm he wants to join.

Incredible.

[Mind_your_head]

6. Ambitious little fecker......

But it reminds me of a joke that I read in DU's 'humor group' recently:

The wedding test


I was a very happy person. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married.

There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less.
She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day her "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.

She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.

She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.

I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door.

I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!

With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

And the moral of this story is:












Always keep your condoms in the car!

14. LOL! Great joke! n/t

[Mind_your_head]

22. Credit goes to "enufalready"

who posted this in the humor group. I was just playing it forward.

[dragonlady]

7. This is not the son-in-law

He was once Jenna's boyfriend but lucked out of getting married to her.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Ooops. You're right

I misheard on the nooz

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. Apparently he isn't capable of getting a job on his own. So they have to

take care of him.

[merh]

21. Makes one wonder what "secrets" he knows

that they want him to keep secret.

[orleans]

10. unfucking real, isn't it? who would ever believe this is the condition

of america?

[City Lights]

11. Jenna is married to Henry Hager, not Blake Gottesman. nt

[dems_rightnow]

12. That's NOT the son--in-law

Good Lord.

[Mind_your_head]

17. Everything is so f*cking "SECRET"/HUSH-HUSH with the shrub family .....

....who knows/who cares to 'keep it all straight'.

I don't - but I'm not receiving any "advantage" from them ~ perhaps 'YOU' are, that's why you 'care'? :shrug:

[Canuckistanian]

19. "Peanut" is actually Jenna's ex-boyfriend

And ex-cabin-boy for the Dauphin.

I'm betting that his experience in making PBJ's for the pretzledent will pay off.

[Monk06]

20. Hey the Presidency is the Bush family business. Of course the SIL is going to get a plum job.

[Fuzz]

23. Is he a skull and boner?

[jberryhill]

25. No, but...

He reportedly boned 'er skull.

[tblue37]

24. That's not his son-in-law. He did date Jenna in high school, but he

isn't the man she married. He is Bush's former "body man," who was then accepted into Harvard Law School (strings were definitely pulled) despite never having finished colelge. He had dropped out of college at age 19 to work on the Bush campaign.

[Mind_your_head]

26. .

You have 'intimate knowledge' I see.

Reminder to self: Don't send my kids to Yale. They "get in, but they can't 'get out' " AND 'they graduate without ever learning how to spell or 'self-correct'.

:crazy:

[tblue37]

27. I just read an article about the doofus on HuffPo yesterday,

so I remembered the details.

I have one of those "lock box" memories. It's a blessing, but it can also be a curse, because my mind is cluttered with all sorts of factoids that nobody really cares to know about. Unfortunately, even when I do an information dump, the stuff stays in my mind, cluttering it up.

I will be 58 years old next month. I still remember phone numbers and addresses from the many Air Force bases we lived on when I was in elementary school. I don't want to remember them, but I can't help myself.

[Infomaniac]

28. Close

He was accepted into Harvard Business School not the law school.


http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-07-16-personal-aide_N.htm

Gottesman, a Texan and longtime family friend, is the youngest person ever named to President Bush's senior staff.

His title will be assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff.

Since leaving the White House in 2006, he graduated from Harvard Business School.

[tblue37]

30. Yep--sorry. I was thinking of my friend who starts law school

next month, and of all the Harvard Law people I keep reading about in the news. These days, whenever I see "Harvard," I automatically think "Harvard Law."

[catzies]

31. Exact same age as both my daughter and my administrative assistant

I feel like Mom at work and at home sometimes.

That said, this one gets to be the first son * never had (and he'll have another). :scared:

[lala_rawraw]

32. linky?

[samsingh]

33. isn't this patronage? haven't democrats gone to prison for less?

[lutefisk]

34. Bush owes this guy, big time. He rescued him once (picture):
