What a dilemma this is, for a march in step conservative! Do you acknowledge an apology for being called “Dumber than Bush” or do you decline the apology, out of a sure knowledge that being dumber than Bush cannot be an insult in the first place?

I do acknowledge that athelas, at least, is not dumber than Bush. Otherwise the insult I posted wouldn’t even have been understood.
hmmmm, now that you mention it, he does seem a little testie.
. . . As has been mentioned before in this thread, Bush’s power as Commander-in-Chief doesn’t entitle him to control absolutely everything about the military, with Congress’ only role to provide him with exactly the money he demands with no strings attached in any way. Congress is an equal branch of government, not the executive’s lapdog.
After 43 posts, no Doper in this thread appears to agree with Clothahump’s interpretation of the Constitution WRT the legislative-executive division of war powers. You won’t find a court of law that will agree with it, either. To find somebody who does, you’ll have to go here.
Well, jumping Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! I knew Bush was dumb, but even I never imagined he could be as completely retarded as Clothahump.
Clothy, my boy, I can’t even get mad at what you’re saying, you’re so dumb. I’m just sitting here laughing my ass off.
Look at it this way, for just a sec: would it have been unconstitutional for Congress to have done nothing? But that would have had the same effect, even more so.
While writing legislation, uhhuh.
I mean, think about that a second. 
Think about that; have you ever seen them in the same room? Well? :dubious:
Clearly, Clothahump is angling to be Gee Dubya’s next selection when an opening appears on the Supreme Court. Given Bush’s track record of selecting people based not on excellence or even competance, but on boot-licking loyalty to all things Bush, I think Clothahump really has a chance.
You’re missing the essential quality of conservative USA: The rules only apply to the other guy.
It’s laughable that Bush would suddenly pretend to care about either the Constitution or the Separation of Powers but be that as it may, the Constitutional objection is a total horseshit smokescreen. The Constitution gives Congress the power to decide when we will or will not go to war as well as control of the purse strings.
This is an example of the kind of conservative perspective that we are frequently warned we are at risk of losing here at the SDMB.
Heaven forfend!
I’m going to deduct 5 points from Gryffindor for misspelling competence when calling someone dumb.
Sorry…carry on.

I sometimes wonder if he is not an extreme leftie deliberately posting idiotically in an effort to make right-wingers look bad.
Has Clothahump ever started a pit thread that wasn’t utterly moronic?
At least he returned (however briefly) to this one to try to defend his view. He usually rushes right off to re-wrap his lips around GWB’s cock and never makes it back to the thread.
Maybe they think that funding the war for now (because they think pulling out suddenly would do more harm than good) but with a definite timetable for withdrawal would be prudent policy and in accordance with the will of the American people?
You appear to be suggesting Clothahump “achieves” his level of dumbosity through natural talent, extremely dedicated training and drugs. I favour the theory that he is pure natural talent.
I don’t like thinking about GWB’s cock 
Can we stop talking about it?
Have you seen Cheney’s? You could kill a rhino with that thing.
Me either. I mean, it’s allowed the man to reproduce, for Chrissake!
(Just kidding. I’m sure that Jenna and Babs the Lesser are perfectly nice young women.)
If this is a war, and now we we are edging toward spending a trillion dollars fighting a war on terrorism, we must have killed some. What do these terrorisms look like.? When will these terrorisms give up?
When we win, silly.
