a quote to make you laugh, or cry, or puke

[lame54]

"It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.

Hyperbolic? Well, maybe." Powerline 7/22/05

2. what idiot said *that*?

(I'm afraid to click on the link. You never know what you might catch in places like that!)

15. I looked - yikers!

"...John H. Hinderaker is a lawyer with a nationwide litigation practice. For fifteen years Hinderaker has written with his former law partner Scott Johnson on public policy issues including income inequality, income taxes, campaign finance reform, affirmative action, welfare reform, and race in the criminal justice system. Both Hinderaker and Johnson are fellows of the Claremont Institute. Their articles have appeared in National Review, The American Enterprise, American Experiment Quarterly, and newspapers from Florida to California...."

Now, THAT'S what I call a kool-ade guzzler.

3. Laughing, crying and puking at the same time is tricky

but I'm working on it.

Seriously, who ARE these fucking people, these 24-percenters? "A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice." Um, maybe there's a really good reason nobody's noticed?

Hey, Mr. Powerline Rocket Scientist, the reality is that if you're really good at something, people DO notice. The only thing Bush is good at is fucking up everything he touches, and at that he truly is extraordinary.

Jumping Jesus Christ on a pogo stick... :banghead:

4. Given the context, I vote "puke".

Sketchy details, eh? I'm not at all surprised.

5. Uh-oh, lunch is coming up now. nt

6. Wow, he needs to stop smoking what he's selling. It's impeding his brain. n/t

[FREEWILL56]

16. Wow, I didn't know he had one.

I thought some higher power (cheney) had him on autopilot.

7. OMG all three

14. Good answer. But you forgot

:rofl: :cry: :puke:
:rofl: :puke: :cry:

Picky, right? ;-)

[zeemike]

19. Yep, that too n/t

[SeattleGirl]

8. "A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius...."

This person is kidding, right? Or crazy.

Either way, I don't find this funny in the least.

Bush is anything BUT a man of extraordinary vision and brilliance.

Unless someone dug a hole and put the bar in it, Bush is NOT a standard to which I want to lower myself.

9. How even the most incorrigible kool-aid drinker could say that with

a straight face escapes me!

:rofl: :puke:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. "he can't get anyone to notice"? The whole world is noticing.....that he's an imbecile.

Not to mention less delicate opinions of his "masterpieces".

[TwilightGardener]

11. Reminds me of those pathetic women who fall for infamous convicted serial killers.

Not too far off, really.

12. Somebody's having flashbacks

[Frustratedlady]

13. I keep thinking I've seen it all...

but then someone comes along and blows my mind.

How do you suppose the authors of that incredible statement feel today? I wonder if they are acquainted with Jeff G.:rofl:

[WillyT]

17. Oh... THAT Is Definitely Puke-Worthy !!!

18. I'll take puke for $500.

[Bjorn Against]

20. I am sure that guy smears shit on his own walls...

And then claims his "painting" is a modern masterpiece of abstract art.
