> [@duffer](#): > > The thing we can count on is Bush being blamed for anything bad that ever happens. Anywhere. Forever. We can always count on people like you defending him no matter what. Forever. I swear, the news could get out that Bush masturbates to pictures of dead babies while shoving Labrador retriever puppies up his ass, and someone like you would come along to say, “He’s the President; he needs to have his relaxation.” ---

> [@](#): > > **wevets** : What, you haven’t noticed that politicians tend to be both rich and white? (And husbandless.) Trent Lott went on to make things worse in a television interview by talking about the 200 year old tree in his yard. He said that he and his wife hugged the old tree. Guess this makes him an honorary liberal. Meanwhile, I wish he would go back to “erring on the side of life” and connect some “feeding tubes” to the dying. ---

C’mon…cut the guy some slack…with Cheney “on extended vacation” in Wyoming, he has no choice but to ad lib. Now that downtown NO is toast, maybe they could take Lott’s property by eminent domain and make a new convention center! ---

> [@Spavined Gelding](#): > > No, the President isn’t evil. The President is merely ignorant and simple minded. It is the people who surround him and whisper instructions in his ear that are evil. Stating with the Vice-president. Speaking of which, as has been brought up a few days ago by Josh Marshall over at [http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/](http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/) , Just where the hell Is The Vice Presedent anyway? it’s like he doesn’t exist. Is he in hiding? What is he doing? Oh and old Trent is gettin tired of all the negative media about NO… [http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week\_2005\_08\_28.php#006393](http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2005_08_28.php#006393) Apparently everything is going swimmingly and the media is just painting the authorities as incompetant. As Josh says, at least he knows HIS house is gonna be replaced. GWB said so! ---

I read Bush’s comments on _chateau Lott_ in transcript form first. I thought, “What a tool - I’m surprised even _he_ would say something like that.” Then I started to think it must have been made up, like when people write comically ironic fictitious conversations between Bush and Rumsfeld, or whatever. I figured some wit had tacked it on to the end of Bush’s actual remarks. Then I heard the words actually coming out of Bush’s mouth on the radio. What an unbelievable penisaurus maximus. A million people are homeless, thousands dead, one of the world’s most historic cities obliterated - and he’s yammering about his ol’ buddy’s beachfront mansion. The man is a human turd with corn in it, wearing a suit and tie. They say Bush Sr. was born with a silver foot in his mouth - Junior must have been born with his silver head up his silver ass. It’s as if he’s in training for a “World’s Biggest Asshole” contest. I wish he could run again, because I’d really love to see him lose. I noticed something odd, though - Holy George hasn’t talked much about God this week. Maybe that’s a sign this is finally getting to him. I guess he’s starting to get antsy about people discovering how he put FEMA under the direction of a crony about as qualified as the orangutan from that Clint Eastwood movie. ---
