OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES


They blamed Chevy Chase for literally chasing President Ford out of office in the 70s.  Letterman might have done more to diminish the power of the 'Decider' than any other event or powers that be. Great Moments in Presidential Speeches finally demonstrated over the last couple of years that the Emperor has no clothes. Bushisms will be with us as long as those great sayings recorded from the likes of Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra.

HuffPo, per the AP has published a bunch of them today.  I realize that there are already best selling books just recording the statements made by this imbecile.  I have just picked up a few of them here for analysis.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee _ I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee _ that says, fool me once, shame on _ shame on you. Fool me _ you can't get fooled again." _ Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.

This fool fooled the majority of Americans for four long years.  The American voter reelected the single worst president in hundred years, maybe longer.  We did get fooled again.  Regardless of The Who.

_ "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." _ Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.

No terrorist or communist or socialist or felon or billion dollar thief has caused as much trouble for this country than w.  Our currency would be totally worthless like pre Nazi Germany's was, if the rest of the world were not so reliant up US. Millions of people have been thrown out of their homes. Literally thrown out of their homes. Two trillion dollars have been lost by home owners. Medical care has skyrocketed in price over eight years. Only a few states like mine have attempted to take up the slack. Outsourcing by the Pentagon and many other cabinet departments has literally taken hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars overseas. Thousands of our soldiers are dead along with hundreds of thousands of civilians in other countries.  We, the USA is now viewed as a center of torture and lawless internment of prisoners.

_ "Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." _ Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.

Suffice it to say, a lot of doctors have lost the ability to practice their love with sick people all over the country.

_ "Our most abundant energy source is coal. We have enough coal to last for 250 years, yet coal also prevents an environmental challenge." _ April 20, 2005, in Washington.

You almost forget how w has hurt the environment from Omaha to Moscow.

_ "I can't wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbors back into neighborhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs." _ Sept. 5, 2005, when Bush met with residents of Poplarville, Miss., in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.'

There will actually be something akin to a net loss of jobs in our country over the last eight years while Clinton was responsible for an increase of tens of millions of jobs over his tenure. And even in tragedy, like Louisiana, this idiot was absolutely vacant.

_ "It was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship. After all, 60 years we were at war 60 years ago we were at war." _ June 29, 2006, at the White House, where Bush met with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

Yes, w has enabled the USA to become at war with itself.

_ "Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House.


Anybody's speech can sound awesome compared to w.

I feel guilty that this made me laugh. Maybe it's just hysteria derived from the knowledge that in 3 weeks we don't have to listen to him anymore.

Yeah Flower, on another blog I commented that I was sure w was under house arrest. We never see him anymore anyway. Thank god. or God or the Gods that be.

They don't even bother putting the cardboard cutout in the window anymore.


DD, from reading miguelitoh's blog earlier today I learned you are a mere four years older than I. Crotchety old man? You may be crotchety, chances are good you're an actual man, but you are not old. I think curmudgeon might fit you better. Just a thought. :o)

user-pic

Curmudgeon I think comes from 'cur'. A mean old dog.

You know, I will be doing just fine, and then someone starts telling me that Rush is not a fascist, racist pig and I go nuts. An old dog in the corner.

Cur*mudg"eon\ (k?r-m?j"?n), n. [OE. cornmudgin, where -mudgin is prob. from OF. muchier, mucier, F. musser to hide; of uncertain origin; cf. OE. muchares skulking thieves, E. miche, micher.] An avaricious, grasping fellow; a miser; a niggard; a churl.

Donal, now you are being churlish

A few more years and I'll be curmudgeonly. :-)

Arthur, why do you continue to demean the poor little piggies? Can't you call all the people that bug you pond scum?

Flower...I'm right in the middle of you 2...He's a stinker, the wonderful older brother I never had...you have him pegged completely!

user-pic

I hereby vow to cease and desist from demeaning my porcine friends. From now on I will refer to the enemies to the people as:

parasites
blood sucking insects
big fat dorks
liars and thieves

I grew up attacking capitalist pigs. I shall continue to add to the new list.

user-pic

It made me laugh too. And I feel no guilt. I'm pretty sure it's not a desecration to laugh in these dire times. It's a necessity. Keeps you from going mad.

Thanks DD! Thanks for the memories.... god help us, they better become memories.

Another good blog, but we need to remember W didn't do this shit alone and didn't find a perfectly healthy country in 2000 which allowed him to do it.

We've been steadily spiraling the drain since at least 1980, under democrats and republicans alike.

Bill Clinton may have created a lot of jobs and a projected surplus, but he also set the stage and repealed the laws and instituted the financial policies that set Bush up for his theft. His was also the time when thousands of poor were moved from welfare to either a prison with bars or prison of multiple low-paying jobs.

I think we have had a decades-long depression in this country that was covered up by debt. We need to go back further than the last 8 years to design our response to the problems an entire generation of bad decision created.

Otherwise, right arm! You have the last eight nailed!

user-pic

Jason, I agree. I have said before that I never liked Clinton that much. But he reined in evil people like DeLay and caused the real right wingers a lot of trouble.

user-pic

While ecstatic to be receiving, with all due graciousness, my pound of flesh on January 20, I think Jason's right. After 8 years of this stuff, we deserve closure. We need closure. But we can't let it close. For long term survival, we need to crack a heck of a lot of eggs, and I fear that Americans will be too fearful -- or complacent -- to motivate themselves come february.

Hi DD! 3 things:

1) Your posts crack me up and make my brain hurt (in a good way) - keep them coming!

2) I teach freshman public speaking, and I once had a student who claimed to be a close family friend of Denny Hastert (she referred to him in class as "Uncle Denny" *gag*). During a discussion on credibility I asked for the class to list speakers they saw who they feel are credible so we could break down why that is and how credibility is shaped - she said W. because "he's not good at [public speaking] either and it's reassuring." WHAT? Fortunately I didn't have to reply because the other 20 kids in the class went nuts on her.

3) My republican uncle gave me a tear off calendar of Bushisms back in 2001 (for 2002) as a "funny" stocking stuffer. He said it would help me to connect with "real folks." I still don't know what that means, but I found it depressing back then that anyone would find that kind of idiocy either charming in a president or reassuring after 9/11.

I don't know what my point of sharing this was except to say it's really really really amazing to finally have a president who is mature enough to keep his pants zipped in the Oval AND smart enough to know how to pronounce nuclear.

Maybe someone should make a tear off calendar of the really smart things Obama says? Could be a money-maker?

And the real kicker here is that I think he is usually supposed to be reading a teleprompter and he screws it up. I think he loses his place and then fills in the air time.

Oh and I should have been doing some recording of Obama for four years.

At any rate thanks.
