Yeah. Thanks George, for being on there on the battle lines and checking for bombs at the airports.

100 Things Americans May Not Know About the Bush Administration Record

Yeah, the fact that he felt the need to have someone write that up and post it is a pretty solid clue that his administration was a failure... and even he knows it.

Seriously. I could see some right-wing lovefest, but using White House resources & the White House Website to burnish your own image? Jeesus.

 

Of course, this is a guy who can't even get a BOOK deal. Can you believe that? The most interesting job in the world, during one of the most controversial periods in history and not a single publishing house will touch the guy? His wife? $7 Million! Michael Phelps? Joe the Plumber? Sarah Palin? yes, yes, yes. A sitting U.S. President - "Thank you for your interest, but....." How BAD do you have to suck to get beat out by JTP for a book deal?

 

Bush Lies A-Z

 

See? I can post a website too!

[wiffleball 4,790]

Okay, so all aside, I think these have to be two of my favorite lines from any President ever:

 

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."

 

And:

 

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"

 

I'd love to see the reaction of some of his speechwriters - even his folks - when he came out with these lines.

 

The guy's probably a pretty decent guy, the "like to have a beer with" thing. His Dad seems like a really good dude. These lines are some of the best I've heard. Comedy is best when it's unintentional.

 

I have a feeling It's going to be a lot more boring watching Mr. Smoove talking from now on.

[kpbuckeye 3]

Damn, Bush really put a hurting on some of puzzays.

Did he actually show up at your house and kick you in the puss?

Ask Jeremy Ray's parents.

[kpbuckeye 3]

Ask Jeremy Ray's parents.

 

Have Jeremy Rays parents spent 8 hours a day for years on a message board crying like little girls?

[wiffleball 4,790]

Probably not. They just spend a lot more time crying like grieving parents.

[FeelingMN 273]

I wanna look back with fondness at the past 8 years.

 

Thanks W. You will be missed.

That's what I'm saying. I think the next few years will be a lot - ier. Gotta suck to be a writer for The Daily Show with Mr. Articulate waiting in the wings. Thank God Palin won't shut up.

You Bush worshippers conveniently dismiss the fact that the worst attack on American soil was on his watch. I know, I know it was Clintons fault.

I went to work this morning and saw my neighbor on his lawn jumping up & down waving his arms and screaming. I stopped and asked him what he was doing. He told me "I'm making sure no lions come on to my property". I asked him if its working? He said "Do you see any lions?"

[kpbuckeye 3]

Probably not. They just spend a lot more time crying like grieving parents.

 

I'm sure your parents cry all day also.

The thing is, there actually was a lion on his property at one time.

 

The whole story begins back at the zoo, when George the night zookeeper was relieving Bill the day zookeeper.

 

Bill: The Lion cage needs fixin'. I would have done it but I got stuck watching some pron, and the boss tried firing me because I lied about it.

 

George: No problem, I'll fix'er as soon as I can. Tell the missus I say hi.

 

George then wanders off to the arcade for a few hours of game fun and playing with balloons.

 

When George returns, the lion is gone and has invaded your neigbor's home, and the guy next to him. The lion was last seen going south. George, being the responsible zookeeper he is, decides to preempt the lion's next bloodthirsty spree and argues for a full out assault on Mexico, which obviously worked because the lion never returned.

 

Problem Solved! Now back to our reguarly scheduled lobotomies sponsored by Quiet Desparartion and also by Big Boobies.

The late night comedians and their writing staff already realize the gravy train is over. Nothing is sticking to Obama (yet). They're really going to have to work hard for the money now but I have faith in their success.

[rallo 136]

Obama will out do him. 90 mph fast ball down the pipe.

im sure his lack of experience and shady people he hangs with will work for the late shows.....when the time comes when someone decides that its ok to actually say something bad about him....

 

theres enough material there...

[Know Doubt 0]

Come on Wiffle, your'e smarter than this. 9/11 was gonna happen no matter who was president. If you want to put blame on a president you would have to put more on Clinton than Bush. (Although putting all the blame on either is wrong IMO).

 

 

Double wrong-O goldilocks.

It's tip that a few chapters into this book it's explained how Bush's crew came in and completely IGNORED what Clinton's people had on OBL and others.

 

Don't believe me? Fine, then believe the authors who were THERE during the transition!

 

I'd pinpoint it for you but I read this like 3 years ago.

 

It's a good book as it also explains what kinda whackjobs are out there.

[BudBro 183]

we'll likely have to rely upon you to translate for us here at the bored due to the fact that mr. smoove is chinese f&*king water torture to listen to. not only can he not articulate anything, but it takes an hour to not articulate it.

 

i, too , am glad to see bush 43 move on. we'll see if this next clinton administration can continue the good relations he put back into place and whether they care to see the iraq effort through to the end. i hope, for the sake of all of us, that he grows up quickly in the white house. this romantic utopian notion that he had as a college newspaper editor, who never wrote anything, has got to go. he'll find out quickly that daddy frank davis didn't really have any idea of the way things work. the sooner he catches on, the sooner we can get this economy back in motion.

You demwits completely dismiss the fact the Bush was in office for 8 months, while Clinton had 8 years to make sure our country was protected from terrorists. He was too busy getting BJ's and all the demwits say "that's cool, he was just trying to get laid" Can't imagine how many more attacks would have happened to this country if Clinton or Gore would have been in office this whole time.

But your missing the point. If Clinton and Gore were here for the last eight years, life would have been perfect! Katrina would have just missed New Orleans. We would have simply asked Osama Bin Laden to turn himself in. Saddam Hussein would have been so scared with the idea of us invading, that he wouldn't have fought those 17 resolutions and just opened the door to let us inspect. Plus, the economy would be thriving and all those dot.com companies would still be in business. Car companies and banks wouldn't have needed any help and global warming would have not occured. Too bad we didn't have them.
