You are no doubt going to suffer the scorn and wrath of those who see through this mischief, soon.

Thanks.

I hadn't seen this before:

"There's no such thing as legacies. At least, there is a legacy, but I'll never see it." - 1/31/01

It says quite a bit, doesn't it?


Also, on Bush's remarkable cross-cultural, linguistic and business acumen, I flipped through and didn' see this:

"The trouble with France is they don't have a word for entrepreneur".


I am not sure if in the end Bush started writing Wolfowitz's off-the-cuff speeches for him at mates' rates, as below.

If people are allowed to post things demonising clinton why should i be stopped from poking fun at bush?

I'm not stopping it.

In your post there was new information for me about how stupid this imbecile really is, as well as more indications of his corrupt core values. Easy to see. Nice to have them collated.

And, as far as I'm aware, he doesn't own copyright on his stupidities.

Just that Moderators have asked for this kind of material to be kept to one thread. Hey, this is a good 'Bush-bashing thread' for those so inclined.

*tags MA*

I think the biggest problem with all the threads about Bush v. Clinton is that there are 25 different threads saying the same thing in different sections.
It's taking up bandwidth (which we don't pay for) and making it harder to find posts that don't have to deal with political issues. Some people stay away from such posts for various reasons.

IOW, it really pisses a lot of people off to see so many posts saying the same thing.

-B.

Halo Ma.




David. I can not accept those misspellings!! Two Demerits!! Young man! *..................corner dunce cap placed accurately*


And of all of those, no tyranny and no obfuscation, lies; no indescretions and the all- important factor, no Bill.

He still remains an embarrassment to you and an asset to the Republicans.


hehehe........

*still trying to work out what the hell tyriffic is saying*

* tags Big T *

Big T

1. You didn't tag Banshee.

2. David has assembled a group of quotes with inherent illogicalities, stupidity and downright dumbya-ness. They are humor-laced.

3. I have posted previously listing all the lies spun by Bush and his administration about the reasons they entered Iraq, and their progress there, separately.

There is a time and a place, after all.

Tyriffic is in need of knowing what He is saying too!

"There's an old saying in Tennessee�I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee�that says, fool me once, shame on�shame on you. Fool me�you can't get fooled again." �Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

A sphincter says what?
There�s plenty of quotes that stand testimony to his dimwittedness, but
some of them speak volumes about more than his ineloquence.

"When it is all said and done, I will have made more money than I ever dreamed I would make" - To the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 19(93?)

"I'd rather have them sacrificing on behalf of our nation than, you know, endless hours of testimony on congressional hill."

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."�Aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

"People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I'll give you an example; I don't read what's handed to me. People say, 'Here, here's your speech, or here's an idea for a speech.' They're changed. Trust me."�Interview with the New York Times, March 15, 2000

& my personal favorite:

"Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September 11th..."
- In his speech to the U.N.


That's it George, just smile and nod. Smile and nod.
You can almost see the hand up his backside.

This makes for strange reading. It's from March 2000:

"I've got a reason for running. I talk about a larger goal, which is to call upon the best of America. It's part of the renewal. It's reform and renewal. Part of the renewal is a set of high standards and to remind people that the greatness of America really does depend on neighbors helping neighbors and children finding mentors. I worry. I'm very worried about, you know, the kid who just wonders whether America is meant for him. I really worry about that. And uh, so, I'm running for a reason. I'm answering this question here and the answer is, you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative. And so to answer your question, I'm going to win because people sense my heart, know my sense of optimism and know where I want to lead the country. And I tease people by saying, 'A leader, you can't say, follow me the world is going to be worse.' I'm an optimistic person. I'm an inherently content person. I've got a great sense of where I want to lead and I'm comfortable with why I'm running. And, you know, the call on that speech was, beware. This is going to be a tough campaign."�Interview with the Washington Post, March 23, 2000

Went off on a bit of a disconcerting tangent there eh?

With hindsight you could think he was gabbering about more than an election race...

Hardly bush-bashing: "by their words shall ye know them", I should have thought: all self-inflicted wounds.
More interesting perhaps is how the Great Public reacts to such indicators of semi-imbecility.
I rather think that the electorate hates "clever" politicians ( intelligence is somehow seen as a handicap) and finds such nonsense somehow appealing - outside politics the obvious 20th Century example would be Sam Goldwyn whose Hollywood "Goldwynisms" attracted affection rather than disdain. I don't recall that it ever hamed Quayle very much to be contantly revealed as alternatively-witted.
In Britain there has long been a magazine called "Private Eye" ( I haven't seen it for years but -apart from a certain Public School whimsicality at times - it used to be funny and sharp). This journal has long catalogued the drivel of all who abuse Her Majesty's trust and pretend to govern the UK rationally. It's never made a blind bit of difference.
There has long been a sort of affection for "ordinary folk" in US politics (i.e. dim-wited peasants) and I suspect that GWB does better sticking to absurd sound bites than he would ever do by recognising that just about any issue has no black and white answer and requires extended attention.
Who would ever vote for a member of the intelligentsia?

Who would ever vote for a member of the intelligentsia?

me
That is if the choice were ever presented. I fear you may be quite correct in your assessment though.

I can't think of a true intellectual president in my lifetime, very sad.

To the topic at hand, I think the biggest problem with GWB and his speach disability shows the most when he mentions the weapons that he controls the worlds largest arsenal of. You know those pesky Nuculer thingies. It just makes me cringe every time he says it. Why don't the speach writers change it to "Atom Bomb" or even "Horrific weapons of annihilation"? It would sound better anyway

"Sub, subli, subliminimimimininiminimamananiamiminimaninal" Bush trying to saw Subway, eat fresh.(not really, just a joke)

People saw he a NWO puppet. Well, he a really dumb puppet for NWO to choose.

Nobody demonizes Clinton, the facts indicate that Clinton may be one without any help from anyone - other than Hillary!

You are more than welcome to poke fun at our favorite Texan (his biggest detractor! ), but isn't there already a thread or two on this very topic? Should they be condensed?

And, why is this included in the pokes? He has a valid point with this:
"We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile" - 9/9/00

Is there any way you can disagree with his statement?

Well, well. The desperate rise to the occasion.

I lived in Texas and the dialect can be distinct at times.

I imagine most of you have lived there??! MA? Hmm, no?



All i have to say is this: GORE/DEAN '04

Not going to happen.

lmbof !!

This grows with each passing Tyrifficism on this Topic.

I wish I had a Texan interpreter.

I really like Roky Erickson and have a bit to do with him, but he speaks another language altogether.

You'd think that the puppetmasters would have at least given george a pentium 4 processor with a reasonable lingiustic chip!!! Man, they have no respect for us at all.

Been there a couple times for training, the original Texans (Mexicans) were super-nice to me, but the gringos have a "Me and my stuff is better than you and your stuff" attitude. My ex-wife and ex-laws are Texan as well, so you can imagine the love I feel for Texas!
