GWB is an inarticulate goober .....

[What the .... ?!?!]

... who doesn't play political hardball very well. How else do you explain taking so long to give today's speech?

For debate: If the next president is a conservative Republican with the charisma and political scruples of, say, Bill Clinton ........ will the left riot in the streets?

I'd like to clarify that to "extremists on the left".... the ones who have already shown a propensity to violence.

The OP is fucking incoherent. What in the blazing Hell are you talking about?

Feeding some personal right-wing political porn fantasy, no doubt.

Pardon me, can you point me in the direction of the left-wing extremist mob. I've brought my pitchfork.

To be perfectly honest, I found the OP so difficult to parse I wasn't exactly sure who was being attacked. Guess my reading comprehension skills could use some honing, but still, waht teh fux0rzzzz?

To help witht he OP:

Yes, Bush is a goober. It really can't be denied.

Yes, he's not particularly articulate.

Yes, he made a speech today and for the first time ever went into attack mode against the left and it's accusations for like.... three paragraphs. He did this in front of an extremely friendly audience.

Call it a trial balloon, carefully scripted by his handlers.


I predict that it will either be completely ignored, or, start a huge partisan battle/national debate... or something between those two.

Oh, those guys. Yeah, you gotta watch out for those extremists on the left. Especially the ones with a "propensity to violence". They probbaly will get violent, what with having that propensity and all.

My apologies, let me break it down:

GWB = George W Bush.... I thought that would be obvious in context

Innarticulate = can't talk good.... kinda like I write

Goober = hick

Political hardball = one of us isn't watching Chris Matthews enough but maybe this is the first item open for debate. Apart from the example I gave, remember back when the left's mantra was "we went in there without a plan". Bush and his people let that be said without argument forever. Obviously there was all kinds of planning for all kinds of contingencies.

The next part about conservative with charisma and political scruples of Clinton makes sense doesn't it? Perhaps there is no such person .....debate?

Finally, "riot in the streets" and "propensity/violence" ..... heres where I let my bomb-throwing tendencies get the better of me. Would you not agree that while both the right and left have their individual lunatics like McVeigh and the Unabomber, doesn't it seem like political mob violence is most often seen from the extreme left?

Propensity ...... my online dictionary here says "An innate inclination; a tendency" ...... that's quite a range isn't it. I'll stick with the "tendency" side of the spectrum.

Overall, the way Bush is portrayed as evil incarnate by so many makes me wonder how those folks might react to someone who would actually be more effective.

You gotta watch out for those inarticulate goobers. You never know where you'll find them. They're actually the source of the saying, "No comment from the peanut gallery."

My oldest daughter got a bag of them when she went trick or treating. I'm thinking of running it for mayor.

"Dumber'n a bag a goobers." I'm gonna have to call someone that soon.

That was the part I understood the least...
