Pickles on GMA.. more stupidity from the White House
Edited on Mon May-10-04 08:24 AM by opiate69
Laura Bush, defending the war, this morning told anyone watching Good Morning America that we've made things so much better for Iraq...citing hospitals open and water flowing and all the dishonest things we've seen before.

And then she says "little girls are in school for the first time in their lives, being liberated from the Taliban". :wtf:

They really don't know where they are, do they?

1. Ask her if she knows what day of the week it is.
She does not appear to be oriented to time and place at all.

7. "And when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor"
Edited on Mon May-10-04 08:46 AM by Warren Stuart
This is a classic line from Animal House, spoken by none other than John Belushi. The frat boy mentality is pervasive throughout the command structure, this is proof.

How effin stupid do you have to be in order to be a Republican? Triple digits need not apply?

Pickles was a Librarian, she can't be that stupid, Librarians read, at least the ones in my town do. Poeple who read tend to be educated, educated people are likely to be abreast of current events.

In her case you think she might take an interest in her husbands interestes. The guy invades a country, the least one can expect from her is that she at least knows who the enemy is.

She doesn't know who we are at war with, Condi doesn't know who her husband is, Rummy can't figure out digital cameras, despite the worst terrorist attack on American soil, Dick still thinks Rummy is the best Defense Secretary ever.

22. Because the other stupid ones (50% of eligible voters)
....stayed home. Allowing the most reactionary, right wing Freepish 18% or so percent of voters in this country to choose the "President" (with the help of Jeb, Kate, Poppy, and the Felonious Florida Five, of course)

8. sound like she was trying to make her husband seem
intelligent by comparision.

nice try pickles! but, didn't work.

why didn't the host stop her and say: but mrs. bush, iraqi girls have been going to school for decades and there was never taliban in Iraq.

then again, the hosts probably thought she was right....

20. Everybody is getting it wrong!



What you THOUGHT she said was:

'we have liberated Iraqui girls from the Taliban"

What she REALLY said was:

"we have libations and the grill is full of beef and ham."

She was sloshed at the time, of course.

21. it's not 2 wars, it's one war against terror
that's why killing the Hussein boys was justice for 9/11. Didn't you get the memo?Pickles did.

The logic is simple US=GOOD, Everybody Else=BAD

Taliban=anybody we say so.
