Holy Christ! Did Bush just declare a "War On Hurricanes"?
He was talking about the Katrina victims and the next thing I know he is talking about evil men and 3000 people dying on 9/11. Whats going on? Did I miss something in between? Is Bush losing it live on cable?

7. That's actually good news
If the media is growing weary of it, so is the rest of the country.

10. I think it's the other way around
I think the people are growing weary of it and the news sees that and so if they want to keep their viewers and raitings and everything they have to follow that some. What I think anyways.

8. They realized he was making an idiot out of himself...as usual & yanked it
The boy is overamping. He doesn't want to be the catastrophic hurricane president. He wants to go back to being the war president. That was more fun.

2. It's that whole multi-tasking thing
too much information crowded into his alcohol soaked, cocaine addled mind.

or

too many messages coming from the transmitter in his ear, can't seem to use them in the right places or sequence.

:eyes:

4. He is into the "Greatest Hits" portion of his appearance today
He is way off base. Karl needs to tell him that every time he ealks about 9/11 now, it just reminds us of just HOW unprepared he was and is for something even minor at this point.

5. YEP!
I heard it the same way--why does he put us all through this demonic B.S.? I also heard him say that the Federal gov't would do its part but there's state and local responsibility too! I guess the local and state part would be those tasks Halliburton et.al. won't reap huge profits from doing. Did you hear the applause? Are these people living here in the US or is the applause canned? Don't answer that--it's just a pipe dream. :sad:

24. Oh Sure go ahead and insult Insane people.
Even the Insane do very rational things. They just do them for very crazy reasons. If Aliens really are trying to steal your thoughts. Lining your hat with tin foil is a very rational thing to do. But Bush does crazy things for crazy reasons. He's not insane. He is the embodiment of Chaos.

13. Boy do I feel better now
that he has declared war on hurricanes, Let's take a look at past "wars":

War on poverty - yup that worked poverty's all gone

War on drugs - another success all drugs disappeared

War on terror - Ya never hear about terror anymore. That must've worked too.

You can throw away those emergency swupplies now. Ain't onna be no more hurricanes.

20. Yeah, we are invading Cuba so we can fight them there before we
have to fight them over here. Actually, I think (hope) the OP is joking... but with *, who knows?

21. It pretty much happened like I wrote in the OP
He was talking about helping the victims of Katrina and in the same sentence and in the same breath he began talking about evil men killing 3000 people on 9/11. The cable stations all gave him the hook then.

19. They yanked him yapping it up right after Katrina as well when
he once again seemed intent on comparing his war on Terror to the horrors of what those in the devasted area were experiencing, I assume they just cannot take anymore of his simple mindedness.

31. 333
He's spinning and spitting it out all by himself now. Bush glossolalia -- like an alphabet soup of Karl Rove's bullshit.

:crazy:

George W. Bush is the voice of the shells. No one's in charge now. We're watching Commander CuckooBanana's personal "Apocalypse Now!"

"Hey Georgie! Never get out of the Boat, man!"

:hippie:
