Funniest moment of the Bush Era

[Montauk6]

Poll question: Funniest moment of the Bush Era

More like a laugh-to-keep-from-crying thing (though someone once said that comedy=tragedy+time)

1. You forgot 'freeance peeance'

I thought I'd wet myself. See http://www.dubyaspeak.com/grammarian2003.shtml and look for freeance on the page.

LOL!

[Terran1212]

9. Rumsfield's "liars always get caught" moment during start of war

See CONTROL ROOM

14. I love "peeance, freeance"

The video is priceless.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/10/20031027-1.html#

The video is still on the White House's page (although the transcript is, of course, cleaned up).

When Bush says "peeance, freeance", Paul Bremer's head swivels toward him like, "What did he just say?"

It's worth it to watch this viedo all the way through. Bush is clearly depending on an earpiece, and it's hilarious. He thinks he's doing so great (They luv ta KILL -- Cuz they hate freedom...), and then the "peeance, freeance" thing comes out. LOL!

[Ilsa]

17. I couldn't take it. I got to the peeance freeance line and

shut it down.

Great nomination.

18. Hi CurtEastPoint!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Stirk]

2. About 80% of the first Bush/Kerry debate.

Especially the long blank stares into the camera, "I knew that!", and "you forgot Poland!".

[smoogatz]

3. You got my vote.

And let's not forget the creepy flecks of foam in the corner of his mouth. Or the WH assertion that the bulge under his jacket was a poorly tailored shirt. All hilarious stuff. Or would be, if the outcome hadn't been so disastrous.

[goclark]

4. The debates got my vote

[maveric]

5. "Sovereignity" explanation.

I've never seen a public figure fuck up an explanation that bad.

[RAF]

6. Wolfowitz's hair grooming habits shouldn't be classified as funny.

It was one of the most disgusting human acts I have ever watched.

[bvar22]

16. here you go:

I'm doing my best to make sure that everyone in the World will think of this shot whenever his name is mentioned!
I would love to see people recoil in disgust from a handshake with this man.
I wouldn't touch him.
Would you?
EEEEEWWWWWW!!!

[DeepModem Mom]

7. Other: the carrier landing, without unfastening the straps...

exposing W in all his manly (:sarcasm: ) glory.

[FizzFuzz]

11. yeah that would be my vote too--Mr PotatoPantsPrez.

ecchhhhh....seeing the word "Prez" in connection with the thought of him makes my guts lurch. Seriously.

Wayne and Garth said it best:

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl.
:rofl: :cry: :puke:

[MichiganVote]

8. You forgot the Ob/Gyn's who want to "share their love" w/ women

[DeepModem Mom]

13. Oh, that was a good one, too -- that was just unbelievable! nt

[MichiganVote]

15. Best laugh during the election-what a complete goofball Bush is

[WilliamPitt]

10. Nukular

Once, OK. Twice is bad. Three times makes me want to crawl under my couch.

He's probably said it a thousand times, and has never, ever, ever, ever, not one time, even by accident, pronounced it properly.

[ellenfl]

12. for years i have cringed while watching

television shows like jerry springer and hearing the 'king's english' mutilated by the uneducated. i feared that our language would eventually descend to that level . . . and now it's in the wh.

very sad!

[DeaconBlues]

19. You forgot Poland!

Or, need some wood? Or....there's just too many to count. But I consider them too embarrassing for our nation to be purely funny.

[thecorster]

21. Need some wood!

I forgot that one! lmao

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. We'll always have Poland

The problems of us little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, but we'll always have Poland.

[DrDebug]

20. Your forgot impeachment

That'll be the funniest moment of the Bush Era. Coming somewhere in the next 4 year - I hope.

[Montauk6]

22. Nahhhhh, don't think so...

UNLESS we get in '06 some progressive pitbulls with the bravery of the Congressional Black Caucus elected. If it's the expedience-for-expedience's-sake DLCellouts, forget about the I-word.

[porkrind]

23. There is nothing funny

about what this band of crooks is doing to our country. They are stealing our money, our health, and our future. They are destroying our society. They are pitting us against each other, all for a few dollars. These people are Nazis, and their legacy is just as tragic.

[UdoKier]

25. "It's hard, you know, it', it's, hard work. Because, uh presidentin' is

hard!"

[loybay]

26. I agree with those who said the first debate

But sadly this administration has brought more tears than laughter.

[indepat]

27. I vote for W cracking his "trifecta" joke to partisan crowds in the after-

math of 9-11. It's the funniest moment IMHO for the joke is on us.

[Lisa]

28. "And there's no doubt in my mind ... that we will fail"

Dubya trying to cheerlead the war, in late 2001. And he was right!


http://www.dubyaspeak.com/war2001.shtml


"And we'll be tough and resolute as we unite, to make sure freedom stands, to rout out evil, to say to our children and grandchildren, we were bold enough to act, without tiring, so that you can live in a great land and in a peaceful world. And there's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.
-- Labor Department, Oct. 4, 2001"



I have to say -- if people had told me in the 1990s that an American president would strut around on an aircraft carrier in a military uniform, and that the press and his admirers (one and the same!) would be exclaiming over his "goodies" -- I would have said that they were completely nuts (pardon the choice of words there).

[tashidelek]

29. too many to choose from!

Let's see, the "trifecta" remarks about social security...

The Carla Faye Tucker remarks about mercy....

The "have's and have more's" who are his base....


And, especially, how he never stops thinking about how to harm us, just like the terrorists.

The sad thing is, it is no joke.
