Bush will write a book

six7s said:
OK... so... what, in your opinion, is the point?

My point was the next sentence that you quoted.

The jokes aren't necessarily old

Bush will go down in history for trotting out blunder after blunder, goof after goof, inanity after inanity, lie after lie, etc


So those intent on making light of the disaster zone that is/was Hurricane George have never been short of fresh material

"Fresh material"? Every joke in this thread has basically been "Bush can't read lol". You call that fresh material? I'd hate to see your old material.

However, many of the jokes might be trite, predictable and pathetic... But then look at the subject matter

So you admit that I am right in that the jokes are old?

I don't "surely know" any such thing

I take it that you're implying his track record equates to someone of at least adequate intellect for the role of POTUS

If so, please provide examples that illustrate this notion

If not, please explain what you are implying

Thank you

Ummm... this thread is titled 'Bush will write a book', so it seems rather pertinent to focus on his literacy skills or lack thereof

No, of course I don't - as to do so would be to add straw to what seems nothing more than a ridiculous attempt to obfuscate the issues, one of which is, I think, that it is absurd to suggest that an idiot like Bush - with the perception and attention span of a goldfish - can be expected to accurately document his term in office
 
I have to agree with six7s on this one...

Childish, and you guys surely know he's not a simpleton as you make him out. Very sad.

...prove it. And what, in fact, is sad is that W was president for 8 years.

Thanks for keeping the seat warm and helping provide some unique challenges for the next guy; now, back to your ranch and your keg. Good riddance W.

I take it you guys are aware of the definition of a simpleton? Are you seriously suggesting Bush is a simpleton? This is simply hyperbole.

Look, as naive and pointless/unwinnable a battle as it may seem, I am someone who wants very much to try to turn political discussion/activity in a more civil direction.

I'm a conservative. Many conservatives are being bitter and now "giving it back" to the Obama and the left. They are doing so because they are angry that the left gave Bush such a vicious beating the last 8 years. And the left feels it was fair to do that because the right gave it to Clinton, hardcore, all through the 90's. And the left gave it to Bush/Reagan.. and the right gave it to Carter.. and the left gave it to Ford and Nixon. It goes back forever.

This has gotten to be ridiculous, to me. It's like the constant ongoing issues between the west and the middle east. We can go back throughout history and point "but you did this first!" till the end of time. It accomplishes nothing.

I'm trying to break the cycle, at least for myself. I'm not going to give it back. I am very disturbed and angered by what I've seen over the last 8 years, and even in this thread. But I won't pass any further judgement, and I apologize if I was on a high horse again. But I'm sick of this vicious back and forth. And I'm sick of it being personal, and insulting, back and forth. It's childish. I'm sorry if you disagree with me, but that's how I feel. I wish we could all rise above this sort of thing.

Perhaps I do not know the definition of simpleton after all, everything I am finding is basically "lacking in common sense or intelligence" when I have always thought it meant something much worse, such as being so low in intelligence as to have it be debilitating.

But I know, that would still apply to Bush. Ya, ya. ;)

Bush is getting his beating, not for conservatism, but for partisanship above statesmanship, deceit, incompetence, and promoting the idea that non-intelligence is a virtue. Anybody thinking about being bitter about this might want to take a close and careful look at what Bush actually accomplished.

Did anybody see the Daily Show excerpts from Bush's final press conference where he identified some of his 'disappointments'? I suspect that his book will be more of the same. But heavily edited to remove all the funny.

Tip: jumping to the defense of an infamous fool and liar is probably a misdirection of your time and energy

And many liberals are dancing in the streets, over-joyed that there are clear indications that the majority of adults in one of the post powerful nations in the history of humanity do not necessarily endorse the barbarism and stupidity of the last eight years

Cool :)

Maybe you could make a start by suppressing the urge to make knee-jerk, angry, reactionary responses at a time when others are celebrating the beginning of a new period of hope
 
Is he dumb? Some genuine quotes from the man himself.

"I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America, Americans, again. There just is. That's the reality of the world. And I wish him all the very best."

"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system."

"I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the president."

"Anyone engaging in illegal financial transactions will be caught and persecuted."

Amigo! Amigo!" --George W. Bush, calling out to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Spanish at the G-8 Summit, Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008

"Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people."

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008

"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. That's what I'm telling you."

"I can only speak to myself."

"We have enough coal to last for 250 years, yet coal also prevents an environmental challenge."

"Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die."

"I said I was looking for a book to read, Laura said you ought to try Camus. I also read three Shakespeares. ... I've got a eck-a-lec-tic reading list."

"You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone."

"And so during these holiday seasons, we thank our blessings."

"Let me put it to you bluntly. In a changing world, we want more people to have control over your own life."

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."

"There may be some tough times here in America. But this country has gone through tough times before, and we're going to do it again."

LOL Yep he is so dumb he kicked the democrat's collective butts for 8 years and they never laid a glove on him. All he did was drive them completely insane with hate as this thread proves.

as I recall, you and I agree on Israel and guns (for us). I fear Shrub is not something we agree on. I think (in reality) that he is at best mildly competant in the !00-110 IQ range and without a deep thought in his mind. The things he "did" were actually done by Cheney and Rove and their serviles, not Shrub. History will decide which of us is right on that. I am in no fear of it's ultimate decision.

Ok, he's not quite a simpleton. But he's on the level to manage a used car lot not be the POTUS. Bush is on the level of Sarah Palin. People you laugh at and not respect. His brain was mashed with booze. Palin's was mashed with religious cults and wonderful views of Russia from her house
 
Could I get everyone replying to this thread to list the number of hours they have in supersonic fighter jets?
 
Umm...wait; there was that weekend in San Diego..........and a week in...no wait, that was somebody else…

…OK; sum total including the aircraft that may or may not ‘technically’ be “supersonic” but are in spitting distance...and rounding up...the grand total is...............carry the 1: yup, 0 hours.
