There just isn’t enough popcorn to go around for this one.
"I’m trying to remember if I’ve met her before. I’m sure I must have." His eyes twinkled, then he asked, "What is she, the governor of Guam?"
…
"This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for," he said. "She hasn’t spent one day on the national level."
And if anyone understands being pathetically underqualified for the presidency, it’s George W. Bush.

“Heh, at least Ah got to electrocute people!”
/GW Bush
I can’t wait for Michelle Malkin to respond to that. Oh wait, is she allowed to criticize Old Dear Leader to defend New Dear leader? ;-)
followed closely by President Obama.
OK wingnuts, let’s hear your arguments on W’s assessment of Palin. Was he right or was he wrong? Please provide your typically finely crafted disambiguation of W’s statement.
Pass the popcorn. This should be good.
Potfry,
You idn’t even attempt to address Bush’s assessment of Palin. You opted for the weak “your mama!” response.
Lame.
I think the funny part is this, GWB speaking Hillary
Now THAT’S Presidential!!!
So, hows that GOP/Media complex going to react to Bush calling Hillary a “fat ass” versus Obama calling Kenya a “jackass.”
Pass the popcorn indeed.
Look at it this way: he acknowledged that Obama is more qualified than Bush was. Too clever for his own good, this one is.
Thats awesome! I have been waiting to hear some detail of how these people thought.
oh please, if you want to hear some nukular crickets chirping, go over to Sarah’s FB Page – not an effin’ peep
but hey, didja know “tens of thousands” of teabaggers were caught in traffic and that’s why MSM numbers for sunday’s klavern were so low ?
HA HA! Maybe her head will explode Once AND FOR ALL….
“Hey, Rahm, what’s this I hear about 1.5 million pickup trucks on the Beltway?”
Why does George W. Bush think his experience was sufficient to prepare him for the position of President but Sarah Palin’s was not? Double standard, there Chimpy.
I betcha W said that in an OFF THE RECORD remark. :-)
It’s physically impossible for Palin’s head to explode, because there is no pressure differential between the inside and outside of her skull.
Whoa. Dubya would know. He’s saying she didn’t even have the meagre ‘trappings’ he had.
This popcorn is delicious!
Obama’s on fire at the AFL-CIO on my teevee right now. Righteous. He pointed out that the deficit is not his fault AND {paraphrasing} “members of congress have health coverage and choice … that some of them would deny to hardworking men and women to refuse socialism.”
EvilDrPuma @ 14: Indeed!
Very likely, since Dubya was never all that remarkable on the record…
“What” is she?
Pronouns aren’t W’s strong suit, I guess. C student, indeed.
[modnote: let’s stick to discussing facts and ideas, and refrain from discussing commenters]
Ha! Most excellent explaination.
And, uh… What’s wrong with Guam?
Plus some rusty El Caminos with Confederate flags in the back winder. Extra points for also havin’ one painted on the hood.
May I just say that the YouTube clip above is one of the most obnoxious knock-off style clips I have every seen?
I mean, no creativity whatsoever. Is it supposed to be parody? Is it serious? I can’t tell. Just plain crap.
And rifle racks…don’t forget the rifle racks.
Decider Bush may believe that Palin lacks meagre ‘trappings’, but when has he ever gone trapping like Backwoods Sarah has?
“This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for,”
Do I detect a hint of empathy coming from W? Finally, here is someone whose problems he can identify with a little bit.
Hey! The El Camino is the ultimate fusion of car-like accessibility and truck-like utility.
…yeah I got nothing.
Those are the Mean Girls of conservatism: Malkin, Pammy, and some others whose names escape. It’s the real deal.
In other words, it’s pathetic for a reason.
Decider Bush in no way believes that he was not prepared for preznittin’.
Science is HARD!
Emphasis added.
And then the Hillary comment.
Perhaps the problem W sees on qualifications has something to do with that extra X chromosome.
Because Chimpy’s dad was preznit.
He was, however, woefully unprepared for pretzelin’.
be grateful I lost the It’s Rainin’ McCain! link
shudder
The Republic Royal Family is so refreshing.
Ahhh, the jokes just write themselves sometimes. Too easy, in fact.
btw – abso-effing-lutely nothing about these remarks on MSM – can you imagine the wall-to-wall coverage if equally disparaging remarks about another Dem had been found in Teddy’s book ???
Nothing is lost with Google around.
To the lurking mod: okey-doke.
She halped Levi with his Goverment Homework in Wasilla, whad’ya mean?
Even Village Idiots serve a purpose.
I think this requires a jumbo order of Nachos with the works.
I am so glad I’m not anywhere near Dallas. The sheer density of the irony of that remark created a small black hole around Bush.
Does Decider Bush ever visit his Brush Ranch anymore?
That was great actually. Obviously had humor… The above clip, not so much.
takes off hazmat suit
the things I do for you people ! jut got back from a righty site flyover – nada on Malkin, Red State, Assrocket – and that’s a rather large goose egg there Drudge
the only mention is from Hot Air
So, I wonder how this is going to play with baby kristol et al who ordained Palin and all those Dubya-loyalists who had to support her ….???
Trouble in neo-con-ville. Yum.
Here, have some more popcorn, y’all!
Well, now… Just to be fair – GWB DID have some White House experience prior to TAKING the office of President.
I’m sure he MUST have visited his Daddy once or twice in the Late 80’s/Early 90’s, no? And maybe even SAW a secret service agent? Maybe even closer than from the front porch?
/snark
Poor Sarah. She just can’t catch a break.
While the wingnuts are quite mockable there is much that really bothers me and to make mock of them just allows them to work their way into the sheeples minds-which the rethugs have done. We are rapidly becoming a 3rd world country as far as education goes. 1 out of 3 kids who start HS fail to graduate. People who are supposed to be informed adults parade their ignorance with pride. WTF has happened to my country? I have been telling my kids for years that they should move to Canada. or Korea, they all have dual citizenship there. Every country in the world is racing past the US while we sit here in our little puddle of ignorance and claim that we are the best in the world. There have been court cases in Brazil and Germany where US citizen fathers have tried to get back their kids after the mother died. The courts in those 2 countries refused to allow the fathers to get custody claiming that US murder rate and gun crimes along with bad schools and the general ignorance of the population left them no choice.
I am bewildered, befuddled and all the other words. I do not understand what is happening. Why have the schools gotten so bad? What will we do with 1/3 of adults without even a HS diploma? Who can do the jobs? What kind of jobs can the ignorant do? Why are people reveling in their ignorance? Why are people so convinced that lies-like where Medicare comes from, Obamas birth and faith, and idiotic lies like “death panels”-like these are true and when presented with the truth, call it a lie?
The phrase “Keep the govt hands off my medicare” has been heard thousands of times, when informed that Medicare is a govt program, they refuse to believe it. I have even heard some say that the govt has nothing to do with Social Security. And they believe it. Has this country always been filled with ignorant fools or is this something new? We are indeed a nation of idiot sheeple, even those who we assumed-falsely-were adults who actually knew what was going on proved to be false. CEOs run their companies into the ground, investment bankers and bankers generally buy into the mortgage investment craze and lose trillions of $$$. And they are supposed to be the smart ones. TV has destroyed us, processed food is killing us. The corporations and cartels own the govt and our elected officials are totally corrupt. While there is a grain of truth among all the lies floating around idiot nation, the truthers,birthers, and 912ers will never see it because they are all corporate pawns. We are fast becoming the new africa. Full of tribes all ready to fight each other to the death, full of ignorance, demanding that the govt take care of us while at the same time screaming at the govt to leave us alone. The more I see, the more angry I get at how we have so squandered our future and the future of our grandchildren. Our country crumbles around us, more illegal drugs with more money to bribe our cops and pols, yet we still scream about how high our taxes are. We have mortgaged our future to China. We have sent our factories out of the US. We make little or nothing and import cheap goods from all over the world. We owe thousands on our credit cards, yet continue to charge like lunatics. We will do nothing to correct the problems that created our latest financial downfall because we lack the political will. The next crash will come within the next 20-30 years and the next time the world might just get together and tell the US enough. We pollute our country, throw away more garbage than the rest of the world, use up our country and are still arrogent enough to think that the rest of the world looks up to us. Meanwhile, most people think that New Mexico is not part of the US. Watch Lenos man on the street interviews and see just how stupid we are. More watch American Idol than vote. More pay close attention to sports than to govt. How many really know who their senators and reps are? How about state senator and rep? City council? Mayor? Gov? School board? In the last off year election, with almost 1 million registered voters in my city, less than 1% voted. Even tho we have almost 2 weeks of early voting.
With all the rains we just had, that brush must be eating up everything in its path now. Run!
Imagine that.
Farm, gotta have cattle to have a ranch :)
what is more interestign to me is the admission about the bailout:
The next time someone argues in favor of the bailout, I am throwing this language in their face, and probably jamming it down their throat with a muzzle-loader.
You see dahling, it doesn’t matter if you are not remotely prepared for your position, as long as you’re from the right sort of family. The royals have done it that way for centuries.
Have you heard that the new biopic on Charles Darwin won’t be shown in the US because no distributor will take it?

You know it’s bad when George Bush of all people thinks you can’t be President.
Ah, whoop-de-do. The people who don’t like evolution won’t watch it, the people with some brains really don’t give a damn. I find it hard to give a shit about evolution these days- it’s scientific fact, we should all get over it.
I find it hard to give a shit about evolution these days
It’s not that it’s about evolution per se; it’s about the struggle Darwin himself had to go through, as he did not want to believe it. His family and friends did not want to believe it. Seems to be an opportunity for a teachable moment in the drama, as our benighted age could use one.
It really is too bad that American distributors are buying into the ginned-up “controversy” the creatofascists have pretty much created from scratch.
I do believe the US is headed for third world country status by the year 2050.
It’s a damned, dirty shame. These “people” really are apes!
Oh well, at least I was able to save it in my Netflix queu.

I wait with quivering anticipation for the next insanity to occur
Are we within or without the insane asylum
I’m sure that Dubya meant the Guam comment as a total compliment. After all, isn’t Guam the “model” for the type of Capitalism the Republicans want to extend to the whole country? No unions, workers in barracks, no minimum wage, women forced into prostitution, the workers can’t vote, etc.
Is that the same condition that Malkin suffers from? That’s who I was hoping would, once and for all, relieve us all from her misery…..
The Right is going to enjoy this, and they already have their answer. You see, to the hard right, Bush wasn’t a real conservative, and this just proves it: he dared to insult Saint Sarah, the keeper of the flame. Conservatism cannot fail, it can only be failed by those, like Bush, who depart from the straight and narrow. No amount of screwing up by Republicans can ever undermine the faith of the true believers.
