Is bashing * becoming a national sport?
The media feeding frenzy, aka pResidential press conference, we saw today revealed reporters openly laughing and mocking him. And that's not even surprising anymore! Lately I've seen pundits putting * down and excitedly talking about his gaffs like they want to be the first to get a laugh at *'s expense. On a personal note, my husband just got an anti-* cartoon from a rightwing friend of his. Wasn't the first one this guy, and another friend even more rightwing, has sent him. Seems the entire country is mad as hell and ready to insult, demean, and ridicule the little wannabe dictator.

1. I'm watching Tweety and it's all about dimson. I think the media
in particular are annoyed that he's blaming the media for stirring up Americans to be anti-war. At least that's his current excuse. I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that this is a b.s. war, people continue to die, and there is no end in sight.

3. shrub is the lamest duck in the west, and everybody knows it.
the banana republicans themselves cannot gain by further propping him up.
they can only gain by sounding tough by standing up to him now.

ergo, shrub is TOAST.

alas, the battle rages on.

6. They mocked Jesus, Ghandi and Dr King like this too...
it's sad how a prophet is without honor in his own country.

7. Yes
And it demeans us entirely. Who, reading it all, could ever think we could lead the entire nation?

America's enemies are kept very happy - and mind, they ARE laying their plans.

The next 911 - or worse - will be on us.

17. Next!
Please look up the words:

Logic
Facts
Courage
Freedom
Liberty
Consent
Democracy
Republic

Then you can rethink your puerile position.

That should take you a while.
The Professor

18. Really! Lets all pretend the emperor has clothes ...
Osama might figure out that a total imbecile is running the country. That would be disastrous.

13. It has become popular to bash the Christ out of Bush
And I don't even have to say anything anymore - I simply smile and agree as the Republicans romp on him all day long!

15. It used to be my favorite hobby
Now it's just too easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Or shooting old lawyer friends in the face.

19. Media follows public opinion
They see the polls changes and don't want to be stuck with the taint of having supported him in the past, so they have to turn on him now. If the polls were different, they wouldn't be doing any of this.

20. It comes with being a public figure.
It is simple, public figures get public attention. Couple that with the public's realization of how poorly they are treated by him and you get bashing.

21. What worries me is the rest of the crooks will slip away
Remember, the corrupt corporate media, GOP big-business, lobbyists, 'think-tanks' are as much to blame
