The Ugly Truth: Our President is an Imbecile
You know it, I know it and the American people know it. But everyone is afraid to say it. They say it privately, but people are afraid of saying it publicly because you will be branded as a liberal, elite, intellectual snob. But believe me, you don't have to be an intellectual to see how painfully stupid our president is.

Just look at the conversation he is having with world leaders at the G-8 summit. Mikes picked up the causal talk between the world leaders. Forget that Bush appears to have three sandwiches in his mouth while talking. Forget that he calls out to the Prime Minister of Britain as if he is Flounder in "Animal House." Forget that he uses profanity. I don't give a shit about those things.

I thought it was ridiculous that people made fun of George H. W, Bush for vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister. What was he going to do? He had to puke, so he puked. It happens to the best of us, and more importantly, has nothing to do with his intelligence or how capable he is as a leader.

But his son's verbal vomit does have a lot to do with his ability to lead this country and the world. What I found to be the most damning is the least quoted part of Bush's comments. As you read this transcript, remember that this is not a small child talking, but the President of the United States of America:

2. And so are those who voted for him
they find his shortfalls endearing. They think that killing innocent civilians upon orders of bush is just great. They are poised to rejoice at his upcoming veto of funding for stem cell research because they are pro-life. They fail to see the irony of their choices. Yes he is an imbecile and I no longer consider it an act.

5. No! He's sly and evil!
The nick name thing- and now the back rub thing are all part of a male dog dominance thing.
I want to see a reporter call him "Shorty" after he calls the report one of his inane nick names.
It'll for sure be the last question that reporter ever asks dufis.

10. It is absolutely part of his personality disorder
He must dominate. He MUST prove to you that he is better than you. In fact, he is so much better than you that he doesn't even have to use the name your parents gave you when he addresses you. HE'LL tell you what he thinks your name should be. That, and the fact that he probably can't remember his own middle name. But you can be sure of it, Bush is a total head case. Not only is he totally unmannered and uncouth, he is a boor and an stupid, stupid man. So "domineering" is his schtick. Even Jebbie said so in a recent interview. He commented on how as a youngster W would stake out a position and dig in his heels and would not bend, no matter what. Jeb said W always liked to see who he could get to go along with him, but that he'd never change his mind.

He just a stupid fucking bully who still proudly wears his third-grade IQ on his sleeve.

13. I think personality disorder is putting a happy face on what's wrong
with Bush. I think he's a sociopath. He has no feeling for anyone other than himself and he enjoys cruelty. I think he's the kind of person who graduated from pulling the wings off flies as a toddler to throwing cats off bridges as a child to beating up minorities with a gang of like-minded rednecks as a teen to what he is now: a sadistic mental case with a surface veneer of good-ol-boy who has his finger on the nuclear button. If he didn't come from a powerful family, this man would already be dead or in jail, two places I'd rather see him than the Oval Office.

16. No "happy face" whatsoever. "Sociopath" is a personality disorder.
A personality disorder is one of a class of Axis-II mental maladies identified in the DSM-IV by the American Psychological Association. The DSM-IV lists ten personality disorders, which are grouped into three clusters:

Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
* Paranoid personality disorder
* Schizoid personality disorder
* Schizotypal personality disorder

Cluster B (dramatic, emotional, or erratic disorders)
* Antisocial personality disorder
* Borderline personality disorder
* Histrionic personality disorder
* Narcissistic personality disorder
Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)
* Avoidant personality disorder
* Dependent personality disorder
* Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not the same as Obsessive-compulsive disorder)

IMHO (IANAP), Junior is the poster boy for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Far too many people think this is a relatively banal assessment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It can be a very dangerous and untreatable disorder - equal in import to Antisocial Personality Disorder ("sociopath") for a head-of-state. I could even argue that it's more dangerous since it's less treatable and less likely to be identified and culled out.

17. If evil exists.... metaphysically speaking....
Bush fits the bill. Otherwise we'll go with the psych explanation that he is simply a frog murdering, mother and child killing piece of shit who deserves what he has given and I look forward to seeing his head on a pike in the not too distant future.....

6. Perhaps Bush
was using simple sentences because he (incorrectly) assumed that his "neighbors" at the table didn't speak English? Or perhaps Bush IS just a pathetic piece of sh*t idiot that the World Leaders laugh at behind his back with their aides. Yeah, I think the latter is correct.

Um, that's not "ladder", Bush, it's "latter". It means ... oh, never mind. If you stop crying you can go ahead and climb the latter, but be careful and use BOTH hands so you don't fa ... hold on, I'll be right there! And, yes, I'm bringing your SpongeBob Squarepants boo-boo cover-uppers.

Sheesh.

7. My kids were laughing at Bush talking with his mouth full.
We all had a good laugh at his expense, and then became immediately depressed when we thought how he is supposed to represent our country. The idiot doesn't even know the rules of etiquette 101.

8. A great question to ask the remaining die-hard Bush voters--
If they're pro-Bush because they're pro-business, it might actually make them think (for the first time in a while):

"Would you trust your company in his hands for eight years? (No matter how Republican you are, you know you just said no to that question.)"

9. The three sandwiches thing--that's a real no-no! Who raised that monkey==
WOLVES??? I mean, come on, who hasn't heard the Holy Trinity of Table Manners:

Sit up straight.

Don't talk with your mouth full.

Chew your food completely and don't take overly large bites.

The little asshole hit a trifecta, slouched at that table.

14. It's not that everyone is afraid to say he's an idiot.
People everywhere are calling him that. It's only the media that steadfastly refuses to give honest opinions and offers only praise for him. From his blank military files to his failed business ventures, from his failures before 911 to his failures during hurricane Katrina the rule regarding George W Bush seems to be, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.

15. Something else deserves some notice in that candid video.
It should be noted that Junior doesn't listen. Not a bit. The only time he didn't talk was when he was stuffing his face or dredging up another inane remark. He's dismissive of Blair and anything Blair says - interrupting and talking over him. His 'responses' demonstrate absolute;y no cognitive processes whatsoever, merely kneejerk responses triggered by one word or another and having nothing to do with demonstrated comprehension. His body language portrays someone completely disengaged, entertaining the attention but giving no respect in return. It's prototypically narcissistic - demonstrating all the disdain of a monarch surrounded by lesser beings. The man's a pathological narcissist - deserving of a lifetime locked in a padded cell.

18. Freeper acquaintance: "Bush is kind of stupid and so am I"
The most honest freeper I know said she likes Bush "because he's kind of stupid and so am I."

I think the article quoted in the OP is wrong. There are lots of people out there who are stupid, and know it, and empathize with Bush and his stupidity. Pointing out what everyone knows -- that he is an idiot -- would simply make him more popular with the stupidity constituency.

20. And the most important thing to remember, is that Republicans voted
for him because he most reminds them of themselves.
