Bush presiduncys' greatest moment a fish story
Edited on Mon May-08-06 08:39 AM by kayell
On top of revealing what a self-centered little man he is to the entire world (actually, everyone but 32% of the US has already noticed), it turns out that shrub also LIED (what a shock) about his fish. The International Game Fish Association keeps the world records on an amazing # of fish.

You can search their database at http://www.igfa.org/WRec_temp.asp and quickly discover that unless shrubbie has his lake stalked with Nile or 2 species of salt water perch, he just told a fish story off by about 4 pounds or so.

The man lies even when there is absolutely no reason too, and it is highly likely to be caught. Isn't there a name for this disorder?.....

112. Just posted on this concerning the translation.

The German article uses the word "Barsch," which is translated in my Langenscheidt's German-English dictionary as "perch." However, I did a little further checking online and found that both "bass" and "perch" are rendered as "Barsch," so you may be right.

5. Did he EAT the fish he caught? If it was a largemouth bass
wouldn't that be cannibalism? Same grinding jaw and vacant stare... :evilgrin:

8. Well, I never voted for one.
Maybe we should send a paddle fish to Washington? We have some of those around here.

3. Hard to tell who's lying
Bild changed the transcript to read "large mouthed bass." Can't be a translation error, unless it was transcibed to German, then back to English. So... being Bush fans, were they aware of his perch problem and fixed it for him, or did he really say bass?

4. So even his greatest presidential achievement is shrouded in doubt...
...and here I was ready to concede my agreement with him that this was unquestionably the highpoint of his presidency.

Next you'll be saying the evidence "isn't there" for the fish's Al Quaida connection; THAT THE PRESIDENT APPREHENDED THE WRONG PERCH!!!

7. And how really neat that
concussion grenades and sonar are better than cherry bombs. (But that part of the greatest moment is classified).

9. How hard could it have been
catching a fish in a well stocked pond? This is a man that has accomplished nothing on his own in his entire life. Put the little bastard on a real lake and see what he comes home with. Unless the SS has divers putting the fish on the hook for him, I can almost guarantee he'll go home empty handed.
