Watching Bush on News Hour I just have to tell someone, these...
little tinker toy 'news' conferences from he & 'condi' (wee! my name's condi) at THE WESTERN WHITE HOUSE - CRAWFORD TEXAS, held in high school gyms, grain elevator warehouses, or wherever, in front of a smattering of half baked & served questions; are completely insulting to me.

He should be MADE to leave his bullshit little ranch, his binky, his blanky & his fucking bah-bah, and come back to DC and fix the fucking mess he has created by way his studied & earnest ignorance ~

1. Agreed.....and Rant on...
Meanwhile the American people are looking at gas increasing form 5 cents to 30 cents a gallon....

The Mideast is turning to shambles....

American families can't take vacations because they don't have the money...Yet this bastard takes vacation and rubs it into every Americans face...

42. Word. Our family tried to get away for several days to the coast in July
Edited on Tue Aug-08-06 02:46 PM by TheGoldenRule
and rooms there were like $130 to $150 (with tax) a night! And we aren't talking the Four Seasons here or a Hawaiian Vacation. We are talking a place maybe a step above Motel 6, no amenities, no breakfast! Between that, food, gas, fun and misc., we could only afford to get away for a couple days. So now we are looking into buying a small camping trailer. Who can afford a simple and spare weeks vacation a few hours from home when the room alone costs $910 to $1050 a WEEK?! WTF?! That's almost what my mortgage costs for the ENTIRE month!!!

Meanwhile the Chimperor and his filthy rich "base" can travel at will and stay at only the finest places-or scratch that-stay at their luxury vacation homes. :grr:

2. Several of the night's talking heads were criticizing him for turning
all the "peace talks" over to Condi! It's generally accepted that only leaders of State talk to other Leaders of State, not send in some underling!

16. Howard Fineman on KO show said his August vacation is his top
priority,a nd he already thinks he's making a great sacrifice by cutting it to only 10-12 days when it's usually a month!

Boy, I can only hope his god awful arrogance and selfcentered actions become very apparent to EVERYBODY!

3. I noticed that he seems to have a list of reporters on the podiums
Either that is the only way he can be coherent or these are list of reporters who are still sympathetic to the regime and will ask the easy questions.

13. That makes it easier for him to pretend he knows what's going on
He calls on the names on the list in order, and the correct reporter chimes in with his scripted question. Bush couldn't perform any other way, unless they made Dick Cheney an organ grinder.

6. yes, I saw a picture of him in jeans at the Western White House
talking to Blair via video, he looked like he had a major hangover, I saw no paperwork in
front of him, how many times have you worked where you did not have something on a computer
screen or a file or notes to refer to. I never see any paperwork at all around him ever in
any of these photos.

19. Yes, but who never has any notes, any facts or figures
Remember when he was appointed to that board and they said all he did was come to the meetings
and tell dirty jokes, he contributed nothing.

39. What do you expect? It's August!
The man needs his vacation. Riding his bike and clearing brush is much more important than peace in the Middle East, saving Katrina victims, or protecting us from terrorists determined to strike in the US.

40. 'scuse me, but you ALL MISS THE BLOODY POINT!
Once upon a time, there was a wise sage, experienced in the ways of the world, one whose talents lay in his fingers, shaping, sharpening and satirizing with (or was that satyrizing) words in a way seldom seen on this planet. Let's call him Doug.

Doug understood the world, nay, the universe in its peculiar bent way, and foretold that the best way to travel through it was with a healthy cushion of ale and nuts. Not to mention carrying a necessary towel with you.

Doug was perceptive enough to realize the elected leader of the free world was not the actual man in charge, but a figure head. A distraction. Someone intended and expected to take the public's attention and to hold it while the real secret powers that be continued with their nefarious scheming and profiteering.

This political scientist's name? Douglas Adams. His Opus Magnum on the true nature of politics? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. A five part trilogy.

45. So is it time to do as the Dolphins did and sing Thanks for all the Fish?
Edited on Tue Aug-08-06 03:01 PM by TheGoldenRule
:cry:

So Long & Thanks for All the Fish (Lyrics)

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

(yeah)

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

(oh dear)

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

43. It ain't a bullshit little ranch ...
It is a a freakin 8000 square feet, or whatever, friggen mansion ... And, it is a goddarn insulting that they always do press conferences aimed away from it, toward that broken down little shack that left on the property just for giving the illusion to the dullards of this nation that he just has a "ranch" ... AND, THIS situation HIGHLIGHTS how gutless the press is ... They go COMPLETELY ALONG WITH THIS ... Have we every seen a shot of the mansion ??? Have they ever referred to this thing as anything other than the "ranch" ...

Freakin P A T H E T I C ...
