Zed, as in Bush’s poll number. Zed!

Bush on Leadership: So easy, a caveman can do it.

Yep, most “regular guys, no better than me,” make $3,571 per minute.

Popularity is a type of feedback, like grades. No wonder Bush doesn’t care for it.

Fucking Lieberman.

I left ya one at swim.

But did those in attendance get full value for the $4.95 it cost them?

I’m not kidding. That’s how low they had to drop the ticket price. And they were still ripped off, IMHO.

Gee, what a surprise. Is it 2012 yet so we can kick this motherfucker to the curb?

Imagine that. Seeing W for under $5.

Did I hear him say “Blessed are the cheese-makers”?

Jane has been so ahead of the curve…

I hate to say it but I’ve been harping on not counting Short Ride on our side in this.

I saw enuf of W for free while he was prez.

And deficits don’t matter either.

tinman, why don’t you [edited by mod]?

Ah, the moldy strawman is back.

I’m sick of it. It’s every thread.

lol

your deficit is your brain…po thang

The dumbfacks who were ripped off even at less than $5 to listen to this failure’s useless babblings… they’re the same morans who voted for him bc he’d be such a “great guy” to have a beer with. They deserved to be ripped off even more.

Harrys ear is still effed up,blood still in there dang

“I kept looking for a teleprompter, but I didn’t see one,” said Joanne Ryan, 35, a financial adviser in the audience who noted, “I know the media makes him out to be an idiot,” but he seemed genuine and “down-home.” [...]

As for “the media makes him out to be an idiot” it is because W is an idiot. Remember his inability to pronounce the word subliminal? It is easy to Google hundreds, possibly thousands of his incomprehesible verbal gaffes. He is an imbecilic buffoon.

I’d bet a year’s salary that W used a teleprompter. They can be very hard to spot from the audience because the reflective screen is a piece of clear plexiglass that is transparent from the audience’s perspective. Bush would not be able to speak extemporaneously for more than a minute or two before collapsing into unintelligible gibberish. He damn well did use a teleprompter.

Why does the right think that teleprompters are a sign of some oratorical deficit anyway? There hasn’t been a president probably since Kennedy that hasn’t regularly used teleprompters. I’d bet that more than 95% of the speeches made since Reagan have been with the use of teleprompters. It simply allows the speaker to make eye contact with the audience or television cameras. Everyone at FauxNews uses teleprompters as does Sarah Palin.

Get over this idiotic obsession with teleprompters.

well “P”or Pee…is waiting in the wings…………lol

What’s that all about? What’s the vet say? That thing should be almost healed by now.

What an arrogant little prick !
He must think it’s his place to decide what we get for reform

yah…and the Queen of England hosted his dumb ass,at the tune of howmuch$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well, if he in fact does vote against cloture, and the Democrats (Reid) in fact DON’T take his gavel, then the real jerk(s) are the Democrats and Reid, because IIRC it’s never happened before on a procedural vote.

Let ‘em go crying to the Repukes and run next time as one. Good luck with that Joe, ’specially in Connecticut.

Damn I wish the D’s would just GROW A SET. For once.

Will no one arrest this mass murderer? Will his bodyguard not consider doing the thing for which they are constitutionally required? You don’t defend a war criminal, and admitted murderer and torturer. Is there an indictment for him at the Hague? Or are war crimes just for brown people?

Back to the cesspool. I’ll catch up with ya there sadly.

Namaste

If, repeat if, Short Ride runs again in 12 you can bet yer sweet bippy it’ll be as a Rethug.

Quoting Dick Cheney today, eh?

You might consider another of his famous quotes.

i read that they go away by themselves,guess ill have to bring him in… i dont want to put him under anesthesia,just like to drain his hematoma

And this is what the GOP calls leadership. In fact wasn’t he loved by about 3/4’s of all Repugs at the end of his term?

I think it’s been too long. Only me but I’d take him to the vet. If he’s otherwise healthy a short time under with the stuff they use today isn’t something to worry about. I promise. Not to take away from the natural worry that goes along with sedating them at any time.

Gee, for some reason when you call Lieberman’s Washington office and then push “2″ to talk to a live person, the line is busy. I’ve probably tried 10 times already.

I’m patient.

I’ll keep trying.

I think (not sure though) that they have to wait for the next congress to change chairs.

As for “the media makes him out to be an idiot” it is because he is an idiot. Remember his inability to pronounce the word subliminal? It is easy to Google hundreds, possibly thousands of his incomprehesible verbal gaffes. He is an imbecilic buffoon.

HAHAHAHA!!!

ditto that.

My daughter just distracted me with this.

Funny.

“It makes him seem like a regular guy, no better than me.” What an idiot.

We WANT our President to be the best of the best, someone smarter, more energetic, wiser, educated, and with greater leadership qualities than the average schmoe. Shrub is what you get when you elect a dumb, opinionated, bullying ‘regular guy’ drinking buddy.

maybe someone will order one for W. After all, he puts the W in WTF!

Getting to see the worst president ever? Priceless.

True!!

Either W the lesser used a Telepromtr or had some kind of receiver in his ear to be prompted by audio. I “get” your point, Gasman, but really this obsession with Telepromptr’s is just the Pavlov’s dogs on the right who’ve been brainwashed into dissing BHO over ridiculous stuff that has no inherent meaning or value. They’re stooges and fools willing to their do masters’ (eg, the corporations) bidding for a few crumbs tossed their way.

Ignorance should be called out, possibly mocked and laughed at, and then ignored. A fool and their money are easily parted, as those who paid even less than $5 to witness this droolage demonstrate.

Rachel had absolutely THE WORST!!! segment I’ve ever seen on her show last night when they sent that worthless piece of male fluff (the one she often ends with) down to Texas to interview some of the people coming out of this motivational thing. He talked with something like 4-5 people and every one of them had a similar reaction to shrub as those mentioned above.

Well, freakin’ duh! They thought anybody stoopid enough to pay money to go was gonna say something negative about him??? Talk about a total waste of travel money and tube time. pffffffffft! :-(((

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told reporters today that he would in fact filibuster any health care bill he doesn’t agree with–and right now, he doesn’t agree with the public option proposal making its way through the Senate.

“I told Senator Reid that I’m strongly inclined–i haven’t totally decided, but I’m strongly inclined–to vote to proceed to the health care debate, even though I don’t support the bill that he’s bringing together because it’s important that we start the debate on health care reform because I want to vote for health care reform this year. But I also told him that if the bill remains what it is now, I will not be able to support a cloture motion before final passage. Therefore I will try to stop the passage of the bill.”

Ease up, he’s funny.

Thomas Kenton “Kent” Jones (born June 12, 1964) is a writer and former performer at Air America Radio. He previously appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show airing live 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays until December 14, 2007, and returned to deliver the closing pop-culture segment of Maddow’s MSNBC television program on September 8, 2008.

Kinda depends on yer definition of “funny”, darlin’. If ya didn’t see it, trust me, that segment last night was so far short of “funny”, “cute” or anything else that you couldn’t get there from here.

About that photo… maybe his fingers are dyslexic, too, and he really meant to gesture “hook ‘em horns?”

Damn I wish the D’s would just GROW A SET. For once.

A set of ovaries?

Don’t laugh the Snuggie is part of Obama’s master plan to have us join the new world order . They are just the beginning.
Notice how much they look like robes? See the nice colors? All part of the plan, the pretty colors are just a way to get our interest. Soon we will all be wearing our robes , but they won’t be all those nice pretty colors . No, that is just to get us attracted to them, the ones we will be wearing will be dull grey. Only the ruling classes will be allowed to wear colorful robes and the color you wear will depend on your position and social status.

Beware the evil Snuggie !!!

What’s with tinman1967? He says deficits don’t matter. Is he sarcastic? Is he serious? not that it matters because deficits are here to stay. Is he agreeing with Bush that deficits don’t matter? Why is everyone dumping on him?

Whoops, very good point. My bad. Old habits die hard. Sorry.

Damn I wish the D’s would grow a spine, just once!

Cuz he comes and drops a mess on every thread. Klynn had to get on him over at EW’s this morning too.

“He said when Bush misspeaks, it sounds ‘incompetent if you are president. But here it can be inspiring. It makes him seem like a regular guy, no better than me.’”

Aim high, Bush fans. Aim high.

EDIT: I do credit GWB for recognizing that he fucked the economy so badly that $5 was all even his most ardent fans would be able to scrape up.

What mess did he drop on this thread?

Not one of the interviewees seemed to recognize Jones, which tells me not one of them (allowing for others who didn’t make the cut) watches Rachel Maddow. Which figures.
