Imus this morning, "Well so did Hitler"

When Imus and Frank Rich were discussing the Boy King's performance last night, Rich commented that Bush wanted to reinterate that he strongly believes in what he is doing and Imus replied,

"Yeah, well so did Hitler".

That's actually a great response to people who say that, and they do say it all of the time.

1. Imus quickly covered his tracks

said something like, "...of course, I'm NOT comparing Bush to Hitler or anything......."

too late

The deed was done.

4. Bill Maher had a great line

Don't compare Bush to Hitler - Hitler was a decorated war hero.

3. He has come unhinged like Hitler too.

He clearly is on drugs.

I wonder how far this crowd of neocons will let him go before they realize it's too late to reign him in?

He was also showing his lack of participation in reality when he talked about the terrorists wanting to hurt innocent people and kill civilians in order to get what they wanted. He clearly didn't realize he was speaking of himself.

5. Small man bush wants to rule the world....

just like Hitler.

When bush made the first comment about America must rule/democratize the world, he caught himself and quickly changed it to the Almighty wants us to give freedom to the world, and feed the world, etc. shit stuff. He came face to face with the reality that he was repeating Hitler's policies.

6. Bush and Hitler

Hitler also pointed out that God chose him to lead the world in Mein Kampf.

I doubt Bush has read it (no pictures), so it's likely it's just a coincidence they share the same view.

9. He didn't have to read Mein Kampf,

because he was raised in a family that intilled some of the same ideology into him.

7. Imus confuses the crap out of me. He seems to support Kerry but does

he like him? He doesn't like Bob Kerrey and he does like Cokie Roberts, makes me fricking dizzy.

8. Agree - he can turn on a dime but now he seems to be very

anti-Bush and pro-Kerry. You can not count on him, though, he admits he's a whore and will always go for a winner. If Kerry slips in the polls, look for Imus to bail; however,

let's enjoy his ripping on Chimpy while it lasts. I truly believe that he does like Kerry and has him on all of the time.

10. Yeah Imus annoys me with how he goes back and forth

However he is friends with Kerry, so that's probably why he endorsed him.
