I'm watching Chimpy laying the wreath at the regular

[janx]

Memorial Day ceremony, and I can't help thinking--


HOW CAN HE LIVE WITH HIMSELF?

[Dying Eagle]

1. If only...

at that moment the dead could rise from their graves and bitch slap the AWOL, son of a bitch!!

[janx]

13. They'd do it if they could. n/t

[killbotfactory]

2. With lots of money and a nifty war trophy.

It's good to be the king.

[janx]

12. I just finished reading Woodward's book--

just last night. It's really tough to see these neocons doing this today.

They're pulling out all of the campaign stops, again linking the Iraq War with the "war on terror" and WWII.

[Deja Q]

3. He has no conscience, probably.

Whether he's a mindless puppet of Cheney/Ashcroft, or the mastermind behind them all, he's never come across as sincere. He photo-ops at every contrived opportunity, putting in a sleazy religious "holy halo" effect whereever possible. When you hear him speak, there is no conviction in his voice. Just stoic melodrama. Add to that the number of long pauses, mixing up his maxims, "uh"'s, "um"'s, and "duh"'s, you know he just can't handle scripted words. Do we really want to know what comes from his heart, what he wants to say? Does he even know what he wants to say?

[nostamj]

6. "what comes from his heart"..............

"who cares what you think"

"bring 'em on"

"first-class asshole"

"pussy"

"as long as I'm the dictator"

etc.

[killbotfactory]

8. It's quite obvious he's holy man who's doing the will of God

And when you're doing the will of God, you have nothing to apologize for.

[janx]

10. If I believed in "the devil," I'd have to assume that he's doing

the work of that, no doubt!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. One of Pappy's former speech writers was on cable news recently...

...I posted the show name and quote at the time, and apologize in advance because I've since forgotten. She was asked "Is there any similarity between what the father and son like or dislike in their speeches?" Her reply: "They both dislike lofty rhetoric."

:wtf:

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Did you notice how the Military guy

had to "show" him what to do at every step of the ceremony? He is such an embarrassment. He looked like the fool we know he is. I don't know how he could show up for that ceremony after he's killed so many of our young people in his illegal war.

[janx]

7. That's exactly what I mean, yes. And just now, people were

cheering for him wildly. What is happening to our country?!

[PaDUer]

18. They've been LIED to

by the misadministration AND media, and don't know when to come in out of the rain. Brainwashing does it all the time..

[acmavm]

5. Because he thinks the world revolves around him, he should get a

free pass on all his screw-up, he was born with a feeling of entitlement that I somehow think his crazy mother encouraged, and he's just too damn dumb to know what an obscene fraud he is.

The guy is just the front man for the neo-cons. For him, it's just another job that he's failed at.

The bitter irony that he is just one of a number of thugs who started an unprovoked war but didn't serve when it was their time will not go unnoticed by the world.

[janx]

9. Shit, now he's standing up there with Rumsfeld...both have

their hands over their hearts!

[acmavm]

What hearts?

.

[lpbk2713]

14. The simple-minded bastard

If he can do this why has he yet to meet the first KIA coffin arriving back in the States? Because he's a totally spineless asshole that's why.

[janx]

16. Rummy's up there campaigning for him now--calling him a

courageous president!

[Guava Jelly]

15. ISnt this suposed to be Somber Event

not a smiling Rumsfield bowing to the converted?

[janx]

23. They're milking this for every vote they can muster.

[Cooley Hurd]

17. Jeebus, who the hell is CHEERING for Rummy????

Obviously, they bussed people in...

[the_angry_one]

22. I bet anything the crowd in the speech are hand selected...

These guys are such fascists that I've heard they select only pro-bush crowd for any "public" events that they hold.

[Catt03]

19. I cannot watch this....

All that clapping and adoration makes me crazy.

[the_angry_one]

20. As these bastards are giving bogus patriotic speeches...

they are directly responsible for the brand new 800 graves of dead US soldiers. HOW SICK IS THAT!!!!!

[janx]

25. And more are dying as they speak--for NO REASON.

No weapons of mass destruction, no al Qaeda ties--no reason.

[the_angry_one]

28. I don't know who's sicker...

the bonehead Bush or all the neanderthals who fall for this bs crap and cheering for him?!?!?! What's makes them tick?????

[janx]

36. I don't know, but the crowd is lapping it up! n/t

[Mokito]

21. The hypocrisy is astounding! nt

Two minutes in speech and guess what...9/11 comes up...terror...fear...terror...fear!

[Neecy]

24. I could vomit

He's using a Memorial Day ceremony to give a political speech and a big hoo-hah for his fucked-up war.

Is this another 'ticket holder only' Repuke crowd? I guess regular Americans don't get to participate in Memorial Day (we just get to give up our loved ones as Bush cannon fodder).

[nostamj]

26. i HAD to turn it off...

I've heard that 'speech' before and it's only more nauseating in this context.

where do they find these cheering idiots?

they dishonor all veterans by applauding a war criminal

[janx]

29. I usually try to refrain from going over the top with comparisons...

but I swear this is sounding a lot like Nazi Germany to me. The crowd is really frightening. The ignorance is frightening.

[nostamj]

32. I took a bush/hitler joke OUT of my show

the other day...

not sure if it was really 'over-the-top' today.

[RebelOne]

27. I had to change the channel.

I can't stand seeing and hearing that jackass.

[Mokito]

30. OMFG, did anyone else see that shoulder bump?

Those cynical f*cks think it's all just a big laugh.

[Neecy]

31. yep

And did you hear him smirk, "Can I sit down now?" while his Republican donors were giving him a big standing O.

No class. Just no fucking class.

[soup]

33. Turned it on in time to see *him and Rummy

joking around and yukking it up over something. That was enough.

[janx]

34. NOW SOME GUY IS SINGING THAT COUNTRY SONG--

"They're ain't no doubt I love this laaand...God Bless the USA!"

[janx]

35. And NOW some guy is singing God Bless America!

This isn't even about a memorial to our veterans. It's all about Chimpy's campaign!

[Malva Zebrina]

37. You and I could not, but we are human beings with a conscience

George Bush has NO conscience and NO ability to reflect ot to analyze. All he knows is ignorant, bull headed , stupid, stay the macho man, ole cowboy with Saddam's pistol, from Connecticut, whose parent lived in Greenwich, and the coast of Maine, course.

I saw a headline on the Yahoo News just now.

Bush is going to the Unknown Soldiers tombs and is right now , most likely, practising the tearful look.

Damn it, if there is anything that makes me angrier than ever is this man, this little man with a pea brain, who has literally murdered thousands of people, using the dead , anonymous, soldiers, Sailors, Air force and Marines for HIS political advantage.

May he suddenly have a Dante- like, fearful vision while he pretends to be a Commander in Chief. He LIED--He LIED and in his delusion said he had been to "war",--may he be haunted by the vision of those anonymous bodies of our troops from the past, rising out of their graves to haunt him for the rest of his miserable, little frat boy, fake cowboy with sheepskin chaps, Kennepunkbort elite summer person, priviledged and spoiled life.

[janx]

39. Yes. That's by far the most gruesome part of this whole

thing.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

38. did you see the chaplain at the end?

giving the benediction with his arm up just like a nazi.

i wonder if any of those veterans caught the irony.

[janx]

40. I saw that--the arm posture, that is.

Is that normal?
