Somehow those "Bush is an idiot" bloopers aren't funny anymore
I've been watching KO on Countdown, and the clips of Bush talking about gynecologists practicing their love and the struggle with the locked door in China just aren't funny anymore.

All I can see when I look at Bush is the arrogance...taking out his little wrinkled prep school dick and pissing all over the Constitution, just like he pissed on that cop car in his youth. And for the same reason, too...because he knew he could get away with it.

He's not funny, he's dangerous. Dangerous and in charge, and I'm not laughing.

:rant:

2. Not "ha-ha" funny in the classic sense...
...but in the past I'd watch them and think "wow, what an idiot"...now it turns my stomach to see even the first few seconds.

Maybe I'm suffering from an acute case of Bush poisoning.

4. It was kind of funny until 9-11
I always knew he was an idiot I figured he'd just do silly stuff for 4 years and get booted out for someone more worthy of the title. Then 9-11 happens and the idiot is at the wheel.

3. I've always maintained he would be hilarious if he wasn't so deadly.
But he is so he isn't.

5. I agree
I always did think it was more disgusting than funny and now when I think about the Katrina folk, our soldiers, the Iraqi civilians, the people who cannot afford to stay warm this winter - I am outraged when I see the sheer arrogance, stupidity and incompetence. AND WE STILL HAVE THREE YEARS OF THIS SHIT.

6. I saw a piece of crap book
in Barnes and Noble tonight called something like "George W. Bush, Great Leader." I scooped up every copy and stuck some in the fiction section and more in the humor section. But you're right, nothing about Bush is funny.

8. Oh man, that's too much!
I've done something similar except it was a Condi Rice-is-great-and-we-shouldn't-question-her book so I took however many copies that were on display (five or six) and jammed them in the humor section (which was conveniently next to the display). I have to agree with you though; these people are murderous bastards and people are dying as a result.

9. Want a laugh?
Here's the book - written by no less an expert than Karen Hughes.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/141430983X/qid=1135400847/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-3395007-0184617?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

I'm positive that every book in the fiction section - including all the science fiction - is more grounded in reality than that POS.

7. They are funny, because I have to laugh.
However not as funny as they once were.

Back in early '03 someone here wrote an article warning about not taking bush seriously because he was a moron. I stopped laughing at bush at that point.

I'll try to find the article

11. Well, you know, we had to laugh at Nixon
until the time came when he had no choice but to get out.

Until the man is backed into a corner (which I hope is very soon), I find the laughter therapeutic.

Perhaps soon it will be Springtime for Bush.

12. None of this is funny.
I saw the Capital Steps during the 1st four years. They're coming back, and hearing their Iraq jokes, it just isn't funny. Not bashing them, but I'm not buying tickets this time. None of it is funny.

13. That's why I never liked "That's my Bush"
I don't see anything funny about the shrub.
