Oh Lisa, you and your stories...
There's a lot of left-wing vs. right-wing brouhaha going on over at Stacy's right now. Someone asked for the original reasons we liberals hated George W. so much. Well, for starters, it would be a never-ending string of quotes like this:
"And so, in my State of the—my State of the Union—or state—my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation—I asked Americans to give 4,000 years—4,000 hours over the next—the rest of your life—of service to America. That's what I asked—4,000 hours." —Bridgeport, Conn., April 9, 2002
So sue me. I prefer my President to sound, uhhhh, Presidential -- and not so much like Homer J. Simpson 24/7. If that means a few displaced cigars here and there, well then so be it. (Quote, and many more just like it, from The Complete Bushisms.)



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



"My name is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuh."

Robyn, I think you just insulted Homer J. Simpson.

OMG i should never have looked at that thread over at Stacy's... an original reason to hate Bush? i don't think she's got the server space...

so i'll just say this... ok, sure, not everybody makes every speech perfectly. but damn, you're the President of the United States and you don't even know the name of the State of the Union Address? how did this guy ever find that, um, almost-round office where he works, anyways? are there color coded lines on the floor like at hospitals?

Worse yet, it's not like Daddy didn't know the drill for four years as President...so none of this is even new to him!

I really do think that our last few President's really did forget how to be a "President".

When is Martin Sheen running for President??? He'd kick ass. He has such a presence. Maybe he can teach Bush how to pretend to be the President in the meantime.

For such a long time I still thought of Clinton as the President even though he wasn't in office, now I just think it's President Bartlett.

Jo, have you seen the season finale yet there? They added a W-like, no-brain cowboy opponent who will run against Bartlett in the next election. Much ass-kicking will be seen next season -- and they went head-to-head at an event in the finale. I can't wait!

Okay, so here's the thing though...Instead of insisting on an INTELLIGENT, MORALLY SOUND president who makes good decisions for the people of our country, we're willing to settle for one (more or less) or the other. Is it THAT HARD in this day and age to find somebody with both qualities?

And if not, could we at least get a president who's HOT, so we don't mind thinking about them having sex in the whitehouse?

tracy, tracy, tracy... someone who's intelligent and morally sound is SURE to be unpopular... and the way politics are, it's all about your party winning, not who would be the best candidate. hell, the only reason the GOP pushed Bush instead of McCain is that they thought he had a better chance of beating Gore.

I, for one, am glad to have some one in the Whitehouse who doesn't pander to whoever he happens to be speaking to. Clinton promised every everything to everyone. But, of course, it depends on what 'is' means. Clinton taught us it is okay to lie loudly and frequently, and that lying to federal judges is ok. Adultery, and other forms of sinful living is ok. If you get caught cheating then you deny, lie, and say "that is old news, we need to move on..." And this has become the default democrat behavior...

Because it's so much better to have an idiot in office than a Democrat. What. Ever.
