I love watching Bush disintergrate, BUT...

[Raven]

this is the man with his hand on the red phone and his finger on the button! Let's not forget the frightening power that this moron has over us and the rest of the world. Let's not forget that North Korea is sitting out there watching this sad display of "American strength and leadership". Let's not forget that we have to endure this for another 2+ months and then, if he loses, another 2 months. Alot can happen in that time....

This man looks so crippled, so moronic, so scared, so desperate, so without a thought of his own, that I pray, and I am praying today, there there are a few people left in his administration who will have the patriotism and the good sense and the survival instincts to gently take the red phone away from him and remove his hand from the button. Let's hope and pray that there is a shred of decency left in this administration because we have a long way to go folks!

1. I'm pretty sure Cheney has the button

and only 87 days to go.

[Ohio Dem]

5. That's not reassuring.

I'm sure you're right, but Cheney's finger on the button still isn't my idea of "good."

[Tweed]

7. Like the Onion Article says: "Bush One Heart Attack Away From Being Pres"

[JohnyCanuck]

8. Wouldn't surprise me

Seeing as how the Big Dick was the one running the show on 9/11. Can't say I am that much more reassured knowing that it would be the Big Dick's finger on the nuclear button instead of Dimson's.

11. About a year ago (?) Cheney said something about having the football

I remember that it struck several people here that the POTUS should have the football not the VP. Of course the last hearing of the 9/11 commission made it very clear that Cheney was calling the military shots for a WHILE and that after W finally left the classroom the only thing he talked about -with the staff who was there- was "his message" how they were going to spin/take advantage of the horrible failure.

2. It's definitely a claymore ...

Funny as hell. Scary as hell. Laugh or cry? Probably both.

[Sporadicus]

3. I Bet He Carries a Dummy 'Football'

If any of the stories about his mental deterioration are believeable (and the are), his nuclear football in non-functional.

[MikeG]

4. I heard he plays video games all day.

[Raven]

6. Somehow, I don't find the thought of Bush at the helm

very funny. :eyes:

[Canuckistanian]

9. This is what I'm afraid of, too.

Why can't they handle this like in the working world? As soon as you're let go (Nov. 3rd, in this case), make them pack up their belongings and get out?

There's a lot of damage that can be done by a disgruntled employee and something tells me this employee is not going to go quietly.

[TrustingDog]

10. he's going to blow a gasket soon...

[underpants]

12. He's used to being on vacation right about now.

13. THE War on Terra has been renamed

hence forth it will be known as:

"The Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen To Use Terror as a Weapon to Shape the Conscience of the Free World."

or: TSAIEWDNBIFSWHTUTAAWTSTCOTFW

[ObaMania]

14. Yeah, every time I think about him losing it..

.. I think of the Martin Sheen Character in the movie "The Dead Zone".

Pretty scary stuff!

[Amaya]

15. Have no fear, the freak show is coming to an end....soon.

[GCP]

16. He's always called to mind Greg Stillson

Of "The Dead Zone". I can just imagine him dancing around in a hard-hat during a campaign, then pushing the button out of sheer malevolence and insanity.

[renegade000]

20. wheres christopher walken when you need him?

n/t

[TahitiNut]

17. I fully EXPECT a manufactured 'event.'

I have no doubt about it. What's frightening is their "chutzpah strategy." Their lies are so outrageous that people can't really believe anyone could lie like that and get away with it - and they gain a certain false credibility merely because the alternative is so difficult to accept. Same with 9/11 and Iraq - they go over the edge. Their motto seems to be "In for a penny; in for a pound."

Thus, as even their 'base' is beginning to feel discomfort with their credibility, I foresee chutzpah on steroids - something big, perhaps more than just one.

[Blue_Roses]

18. that worries me too

I am cautiously optimistic about our chances of winning--emphasis on cautious. When he starts tanking like he did this morning, it makes me very nervous. He gets cranky when he's exposed.

[Ilsa]

19. History reflects interesting coincidences between terror alerts & bad PR

Go to Taegan Goddard's political wire:
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2004/08/06/bush_approval_vs_terror_alerts.html

Click on the link called "interesting chart" and the narrative called "timeline and description". There is a terror alert every time the * Administration runs into a PR problem.

If DimSon is in imminent danger of losing the election, I wouldn't put anything past him.

[Generator]

21. Nixon was scarier but still more likeable

maybe 'cause he was just kinda freaky.

CheneyFuckyou is really scary.

I have never found Bunnypants the twisted moranic shrub that frightening. More like just a total embarrasment and that I'm living in this alternate universe where everyone pretends he is worthy of being President of the United States, when maybe chief Dogcatcher is a stretch.

God Bless America and God Bless the world. No more terrorist attacks and let this nightmare end.
