Y’all know I have a low opinion of Bush. But this one, I don’t get. So he mumbled into his tie for a second or so - so frickin’ what?? (No, I can’t see this as even a smidgen of evidence that he’s losing his marbles.) It’s not like there’s exactly a short supply of _real_ stuff to Pit Bush about. Economy, deficits, falling dollar, Social Security, torture memos and possible executive orders, still lotsa people dying in Iraq, rehiring Rummy, giving Bremer a medal, pandering to homophobia, you name it. But this one - forget it. ---

Well, sure, **Arty** , small potatoes, bigger fish, all of the above. Still, its interesting for its own sake. Curiosity gnaws, I would very much like to know. Maybe the Presidential Dog was peeing on his leg? Maybe he was offering a brief prayer to his Dark Lord before delivering another Whopper. I just want to know 'cause I want to know, Heaven knows we ain’t short of ammo. ---

**Reeder** , Do you know who you remind me of? You remind of the guy in that WB cartoon of the singing frog. The frog sings and dances and when he goes and someone else the frog doesn’t do it. Your are like that guy and Bush is the frog. You see him as the retarded demon that he is but whenever anybody else comes over to see the retarded demon he just sits there and does nothing. Don’t get me wrong. I know Bush is a retarded demon from a planet whose name you can’t type out on a computer keyboard, (not because the letters aren’t there but they will know about it if you do type it out) but I know that pointing it out will only make my hair turn gray and my meds to be upped till I can’t even jerk off to the new Victoria’s Secret catalogue and hey, I have priorities. ---

Can we look forward to the next \*\*Reeder \*\*pit thread with a video of Bush looking **up**? Perhaps after we run thru the videos of Bush looking left and right, we’ll be done with this nonsense. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > I mean, if we’re gonna crucify the guy (and I’m all for it), surely, you must be able to find better content than _this_. I think that’s exactly what many posters’ problem with **Reeder** is – that he _doesn’t_ find the real reasons. He merely swallows whatever the latest anti-Bush Blogger’s orgasm is and regurgitates it over here, expecting us all to ooh and aah at his obvious superiority. Heck, I’m almost as conservative you can be and exist on this board for five years, and I really don’t mind people pitting the President for stuff that actually makes sense. But this? This inane-yet-fanatical obsession is just absurd, and well past its freshness date. ---

I’m not a fan of Bush by any means, but this is ridiculous. Bush is clearly looking down at the podium and to try and exhibit this as anything else is asinine. At worst, it simply seems like he’s searching for a word or unsure of what exactly to see. Big woop. ---

I was thinking maybe a burp followed by an under-the breath “If **Reeder** I’m really screwed. He’ll trash my speaking skills!” Then I realized Bush, or anyone, would actually have to give a shit what\*\* Reeder \*\* has to say for that to be the case. :smack: Although it’s good to see **Reeder** is off his meds again. It makes **elucidator** look like a _very_ reasonable sort of fellow. :eek: ---

> [@Milkman Dan](#): > > So people aren’t allowed to pit Bush anymore, or what? Wouldn’t that take away your game of dogpiling on liberal posters any chance you get? Based on the posts I’ve seen, I assume you’re studying under **Reeder** and trying to deflect heat away from him in an attempt to hijack the title of most batshit poster? Shit, even _I_ agree with those holding opposing views from time to time. Climb down from the cross, we have pie. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bush-video/281281.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bush-video/281281.md?page=4)
