Flaming G. Bush, President of the People?

The BBQ Pit
1

I’m starting a flaming thread to roast G. Bush for all his sins against the people of the USA including: Not taking responsibility for getting us in over our heads in Iraq, helping contractors make it rich in Iraq, sending our jobs overseas, ignoring our unemployment problem, promoting a lassiez-faire US economy which is teetering on crumbling into the sea, and ignoring the NAACP. (And, don’t go thinking there are racial sub-issues here…I am a disgusted Caucasian that Bush can ignore their invitation as if the NAACP is worthless is King Bush’s cold eye.)

What else can we slam him for? He’s not my President. I didn’t vote to elect Pres Oil Wells and VP Halliburton. The only question is: Which will be the new Republican slogan? Why should I worry? Let 'em eat cake? All the real people left behind?

Shees, if they regurgitate Chappiquiddik (sp?) once more, I’ll go the GOP convention and vomit on 'em! As if the entire Democratic party is to blame for the Kennedy’s private life? If what was done was so wrong, why then did the girl’s father take a nice chunk of change for settlement?

Unemploy Bush 2004! Lick Bush 2004! - Jinx, utterly digusted that Bush can steer the nation with his eyes closed. :mad:

I mean, settlement out of court. I hope his daughter appreciates her TRUE net worth to Daddy dearest! Of course, the GOP fails to give the people all the facts, right? - Jinx

Gosh, what an original idea!

Another day, another GW pit thread.

Move along, nothing to see here.

I dislike Bush as much as most, without (I hope) veering into tinfoil hat territory, but do we really need another “let’s bash Bush” thread? There are so many of them already laying around; why not pick one of them and use it? Do we need another one?

6

Indeed. Funny that nobody’s ever thought of this idea before. Oh, wait…

Two other people have had this idea in the last week.

7

Well, gosh, Shodan, lead the way! Start your own thread, and you can kick it off with an exhaustive list of GeeDub’s myriad virtues and accomplishments. That would be original. To use his own words: “Bring it on!”

Praise the Leader!

AndJinx has been around since 1999! I thought this board* fought* ignorance! How wonderful to find evidence to the contrary.

Another Bush thread…really… :rolleyes:

9

Or maybe hijack this thread to that purpose. I’ll help get it started…

“Thanks to George W. Bush, millions of Americans now know how to cope with abrupt job loss and immediate unemployment! These folks are now more self-reliant, since they now have firsthand experience with the unemployment office, and have answered the challenge of making their dollars stretch farther than ever!”

10

Another mental image I really cold have done without…

11

No, that’s stupid. How about -

Thanks to the Bush presidency, we now know who are the principled liberals, and who are [ul][li]Too stupid to know how to make holes in a piece of paper[/li][li]Too stupid to understand how the Electoral College works[/li][li]Too stupid to understand how the business cycle works[/li][li]Very fortunate that the head of the penis is larger than the shaft, otherwise they would repeatedly hit each other in the forehead whilst engaging in yet another endless, pointless, dishonest and stupid liberal circle jerk[/ul][/li]
There! Much better.

For the most part, the “hanging chad” crapola resulted from mechanical failure. Which I’m pretty sure you know, but why let a mere fact intrude when you’re insulting people you cannot otherwise defeat? Coming from you, such cheap vitriol is an honor we are otherwise too modest to solicit.

Oh, we know, all right. We also suspect that the sanctity of the Electoral College is a convenient shelter for persons who are too stupid to understand that half a million more votes for Gore is…well, half a million more. Need a cite for that?

Again, we are a relatively educated lot. We are cognizant of the business cycle, we even have a few economists on board. For instance, the redoubtable Mr. Krugman, I believe, has a smattering of knowledge in this area. Might even compare favorably with your own undoubtedly vast expertise. Teaches in one of those little podunk colleges, Princeton, I think the name is…

What troubles us is not so much the mechanism of the business cycle, but who rides happily upon it, and who is crushed underneath. It is our contention that the victims are equally worthy as are the beneficiaries. A radical notion to you, perhaps, but with an ancient pedigree, going back at least to Galillee.

Here I am outgunned and outclassed, I must plead ignorance. I am in possession of the aforementioned organ, but only the one, and have not taken the time nor trouble to become better informed. I have never, in fact, attended any such celebration, liberal or otherwise, so I must defer to your expertise. In fact, if anyone dares to cast doubt upon your vast knowledge of masturbatory political verbiage, they will find a sharp opponent in me!

Well, anybody who has:

  1. a brain
  2. a heart
  3. one or more of the following: (a) a newspaper from the past four years, (b) a television set, or © an Internet connection

already knows that Bush is it disgrace not only to himself, but to his nation, mankind, primates in general, mammals, vertebrates (if he really does have a spine) and the entire animal kingdom. Possibly to plants and fungi as well, but I’m feeling generous.

He should never, ever, in a thousand billion years, have been elected president of anything, least of all the most powerful, most advanced nation in recorded history.

Where I’m writing this, November is the worst month of the year, a time of cold wetness and merciless winds. Yet this year, I long for it to come early.

14

I’m an American. I like my beer cold, my steak raw, and my presidents FAAAAALAMING!

15

I’ve always wanted to learn things about George W. Bush. Can somebody give me some information about him? I know he is a president, but what exactly is a president? Also, when was he elected?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

16

Certainly. The following story, I think provides some useful insight into his well-known fondness for his staff, his loyalty to Texas, and his reknowned business sense:

As President Bush gets off the helicopter on the White House lawn, everyone
notices he is carrying a baby pig under each arm. The Marine guard, snapping
to attention and saluting, says, “Nice pigs, sir.”

The President replies, “These are not pigs, these are authentic Texas
Razorback Hogs. I got one for Vice-President Cheney, and I got one for
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.”

The Marine once again snaps to attention and says, “Nice trade, sir.”

17

Funny, I heard that exact same joke during the Clinton administration.

18

Oh, for the love of…

Can’t you guys even change the animals? Razorbacks are from Arkansas. Make 'em longhorn steers or something.

Kudos, though for substituting Cheney and Rummy for Hillary and Chelsea – I’ve always thought dragging families into stuff like this is low-end. Hillary was reasonably a target for jokes because of their advertised two-for-one gig, her involvement in the health plan and of course her subsequently-confirmed political ambitions. Chelsea, not so much. That was out of bounds and I appreciate that whoever first translated the joke (which was itself no doubt translated from an earlier Nixon joke or somesuch) chose politicians rather than daughters.

He is also very adept at intelligence gathering. From the AP:

I know, its an old Nixon joke too. At least I had the class to replace Laura Bush with Condi.

Yeah, I thought it sounded familiar when someone sent it to me, but hey, it made me laugh. Sue me.
