Anyone doubting Bush's messianic delusions of grandeur
needs to read this quote and think again:

"God loves you, and I love you. And you can count on both of us as a powerful message that people who wonder about their future can hear."—George W. Bush, Los Angeles, Calif., March 3, 2004

Slate's Bushism of the Day (via Atrios http://atrios.blogspot.com/ )

2. Dumbya and the Budweiser ad football player the same.
You know the recent Bud ad campaign with the football player who is concerned with how the camera makes him look for his endorsement ads and not at all at about all his fumbles ("They could have fallen on the ball, I can't do everything."?

That's Dumbya, too.

3. If ANYONE other than the pResident had uttered these words
in their official capacity on the job, they would now be in the hands of the companies Employee Assistance Program, and on administrative leave while their mental health was evaluated.

It scares the hell out of me everytime he talks to his imaginary friend in the sky.

5. I wonder about my future, and I've "heard the message"....
And lemme tell ya, I'm FUCKED!

And so are you, if this freak gets back into office this fall.

The guys with the big net would be after him if he had said "Piglet and Christopher Robbins loves you, and I love you. And you can count on both of us....."

6. Maybe Mel can do a picture of his "passion"
And God said to his son, "ye must fall off the scooter and get a boo-boo on your knee in order to save mankind". Or "a pretzel will betray ye". Or, "go easy on the wine with that last supper, you know you can't hold your liquor". Let us hope that God has a last supper in the White House planned for the idiot around January 2005.

7. A little story.....
I got this from Frank Magazine a little while ago.
Seems that our new Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin was having his first private meeting with Lord Bunnypants himself. Beyond the usual official platitudes about good neighbors, etc., there were some other things going on. There were rumours about raised voices in the meeting room and aides leaving leaving ashen-faced and incredulous.
Next, I hear, GW is said to have uttered something about his being heaven sent.
I believe the exact words he used were, "Look, I'm on a fucking mission from God!"

:wow:

14. It's twue, it's twue
snip----Though it wasn't publicized at the time, Prime Minister Paul Martin got a sense of that sanctimony when he met with Mr. Bush in early January in Mexico. Mr. Bush let the Prime Minister know that he believed himself to be on the side of God and tending to God's mission.

The Canadian side, while aware of the President's penchant for religiosity, had been expecting to talk more about softwood lumber than the Ten Commandments. The Canadians didn't expect the morality play. Nor did they expect that, almost in the same breath, Mr. Bush would be filling the air with the f-word and other saucy expletives of the type that would surely leave the Lord perturbed. Nor did they anticipate a pointed attack on French President "Jack Cheerack," as Mr. Bush called him, for his views on the Middle East.

Mr. Martin was somewhat taken aback by what he heard. After the meeting, he was barely out the door before he was asking someone in his entourage what was to be made of all the God stuff. In meetings of presidents and prime ministers, religion has rarely been at the forefront. Business is conducted on the basis of knowledge and logic. With the Bush White House, the visitors must bear in mind that there is a third force.

11. Bush: "God told me to kill."
Edited on Mon Mar-15-04 04:01 PM by Zinfandel
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East."
George W Bush

You think I would get off in a court of law, if I killed someone and told the court "God told me to"????

12. Depends on the psychiatric witnesses and how good your lawyers are
but you'll still be locked up anyway, just maybe in a hospital.

On the other hand, some people talk like this and get millions of dollars donated to reelect them so they can kill for god again. :eyes:

13. George W. Bush and the "Kill a Commie for Christ Campaign."
I never doubted this guy was mad as a hatter. I lived in Houston for 10 years, and when he got elected Governor, it was a common joke that the Rapture couldn't be far away because the Antichrist was now governor.
