Bush: People may call you the elite. I call you my base.
This is from news footage that was used in F-911. Bush has said he will be everybody's president. What we have seen has shown him not to be anybody's president. At least not anybody who is not filthy rich or part of the evangelical churches.

He accuses Kerry of being an elitist while depicting himself as a down home southern boy. While he makes remarks like that with impunity. This is the true Bush. While Kerry does care about the needs of the people, Bush has been pandering to his base like the low-life hypocrite that he is.

1. I think Bush said that at one of those correspondents dinners
where he has to make fun of himself. In any case, it was a dumb joke. I mean dumb in the sense he should not have said it because he's well, just an idiot.

5. When bush makes fun of himself
he does it by stating the obvious. Just a code twist in his jokes to his base. The joke is really on average America.

2. This is the clip
that I wish every person in America who is not wealthy would see. If Americans voted their pocketbooks this alone would lose Bush the election.

4. That line haunts me from F 9/11 and the line about
the "Have and the Have Mores" with Bush and Cheney in their white bow tie tuxedos.

Haunting, I tell you.

It sums up those bastards succinctly.

6. Doesn't 'al qaeda' mean 'the base'?
Another amazing similarity between the two fundamentalist whack jobs, if it's true.

7. I ran that line past my mother
along with the golfing scene from the F-9/11 trailer, which she has seen, and Bush cleaning his glasses on Letterman's producer's sweater.

"Defend that," I said each time. The best she could do was that video can be edited - the implication being that someone edited these videos to make George Wonderful Goodpersonbush look bad.

:grr:

8. All Your Base Belong To Bush
The thing about the rich elite is that they have a lot of us little fuckers running around doing things for them. I'm sure none of Bush's rich elite base has anything they want hidden from, say, media exposure. Well, I mean, that would never happen, because they own the media, right? Sure, stories like this would probably be worth, oh, I can't even imagine, it must be so much. But, of course, all of us little people who work for the rich elite must be treated so well, none of us would ever come forward with anything damning if, say, a significant reward were offered. Why, something like that might make Bush's base get all a-flustered. How dreadful.
