Anyone else think it's weird that Bush is so silent....?

[skooooo]

Wouldn't most presidents come on TV and at least make some kind of pathetic plea for public support? He says NOTHING! Meanwhile the country just keeps spinning and getting more confused.

[PartyPooper]

1. Junior has more important things to do. He's clearing brush!

He's getting ready for his next fundrai$er! Don't bother His Majesty with pesky details!

[Dr Fate]

3. I'd like to think he is "harvesting" that brush...

...or "bresh" as he calls it...

[myopic4141]

20. Self pruning shrubbery?

[madrchsod]

11. he`s got the

nra,ducks unlimited,and some other sporting group down on the pig farm. got to stay away from that pesky Japanese ambassador.."what you have hostages? well i didn`t know that".."where`s my little condi"

[David Dunham]

2. Good point. Even Lyndon Johnson and Nixon spoke about Vietnam.

[skooooo]

4. Someone pointed out to me....

...that toward the end, Nixon wouldn't appear on TV or say anything publically -- just got real secretive. Let's hope that portends the end.

[Must_B_Free]

5. They can't let him talk

because they need the market to not crash. Every time Bush speaks the market tanks.

[greenbriar]

8. I would love

to have bush questioned under oath by the commission..


ALONE

[Arkana]

9. They can't let him speak

because, to quote James Carville (I think), "Every time he ventures down Mount Platitude, his QQ (Quayle Quotient) goes up another click."

[Art_from_Ark]

6. The man is way out of his league.

He is occupying a position several levels above his Peter Principle ceiling, and as such has absolutely no idea how to handle a situation like this.

[skooooo]

12. May be something to that...GW is just a dupe for the PNAC n/t

[shanti]

13. *ush is a slacker and a phony

he has NO idea how to lead a business, let alone a country.

[Old and In the Way]

21. His biggest mistake was picking Dick Cheney, Wolfie, and Perle, et al.

et al, as his braintrust. Did he get shortchanged. All they can do is create policy that makes them $. I swear, a dumber administration, I've never seen. Totally corrupt and incompetent....a dangerous combination for the world.

[Matilda]

22. I think they picked him.

They needed a public face, but one that they could control and
manipulate, who'd be happy with the title and the perks, but not
bother them while they run the country (the world?). He must have
seemed like a dream candidate at the time.

[LittleApple81]

23. exactly. n/t

[bedtimeforbonzo]

7. par for the course

this is the most tight-lipped administration in memory.

you would be too if you'd ordered an attack on your own country.

[Blasphemer]

10. I'm afraid that something is cooking...

Whatever their plans are for October.. maybe it will happen sooner.

[AnnitaR]

14. Hell no the man is on vacation!!!

Not even "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" interrupts this guys vacation!

Honest to god I'm going blow a blood vessel over this vacation thing. :mad:

[maggrwaggr]

15. "in case you haven't noticed, we're getting our ASSES kicked"

I think that was the line from Aliens.

We're getting our ASSES kicked in Iraq right now, and Afghanistan is starting to crumble, as the Afghan warlords realize now's a great time to strike.

And Bush is "phoning it in" from Crawford. Hell, he's not even doing that. The only thing he's phoning in is his lunch order.

The big question: Where's Cheney? What's HE doing?

[anarchy1999]

19. Good Question and we should all be asking, WHERE IS CHENEY?!?

We want to know, we "his employers" we want to know. Am I off, or are they not supposed to be working for us? John Q. Public, the voters, citizens of this great democracy we are trying so desperately to export to the rest of the world (along with all kinds of WMD's), we want to know who is covering for George on a week's vacation in Crawford, while Iraq is blowing up?

This situation is out of control, period.

[drscm]

16. He's already responded to a reporter about

the increased casualties and then laughed.

What else is there to say?

[skooooo]

17. True, didn't think about it like that... I feel better now.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. He's on vacation, he shouldn't be bothered with such things.

[Snoggera]

24. remember that old saying about kids

and when you can't hear them tearing something up or otherwise creating havoc? (It doesn't end well)
