Bush incoherent
http://thinkprogress.org/

Bush incoherently praises Odierno for ’snatching defeat.’

Today, President Bush thanked Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, who until recently served as the No. 2 commander in Iraq, for his service in Iraq. In attempting to apply the phrase “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” Bush offered this nonsensical praise for Odierno:

I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who were trying to defeat us in Iraq.

Watch it:

48. I know... he can't even get his errors right!
And VirginiaDare is right. In an ironic way, he actually told the truth.

5. he tries so hard to sound smart and on
top of everything....then he opens his mouth. What must his handlers do? Do they groan? slam their fists into the wall? yell? What? I'd love to know. It can't be easy working for a short bus rider.

10. They like him just fine this way
It reinforces the belief he's dumb as rocks and so how could he possibly be a conniving, murderous bastard who's pulled the wool over the eyes of America and is laughing as he twists the knife in our backs.

7. That ranks right up (down) there with
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

17.  Bush knows he has to
always say the OPPOSITE of the truth.

So he has to hold two ideas in his head at the same time and deliberately say the one he knows to be wrong.

That's why he gets confused between opposites and occasionally blurts out the truth by accident.

26. Not the brightest light bulb...
Despite his "pedigree" degree from Yale, reality is he is not well-read, or even well-bred, and really not the brightest light bulb.

But he does do what his keepers tell him to do. And that really is all that matters, isn't it?
