BUSH IS INSANE

(Interview with Vargas)

BUSH: You know, it's interesting, you said that one of the things that we love doing is to invite our buddies up from Texas. . . . They probably don't want to call me Mr. President, but they do call me Mr. President. And we sit up there in the White House. First of all, it's a great joy to see their joy about being here. It's a fantastic experience for people to be able to come here. . . .Have them come up from West Texas and kind of walk around in their accents and go, "Man, this is something else!""

Blogger's comment:
"Also, the expressions of disbelief coming from people who are supposed to be his friends is very odd indeed considering that gramps Bush was a Senator and daddy Bush was a Vice President then President, for his comfortable buddies who brook no formality to be astonished by all this is very bizarre. Of course, they aren't around to dispute this but it is all around horrifying.

"Why? Because the stilted language, the stilted images of them as if they are shadows moving in front of Bush's nonseeing eyes.

"This guy who spent only a short while in Texas in his youth before being shipped to a top private Academy in the Northeast, can't help but sneer at his former playmates who blew up frogs with him during his misspent youth. "It is a great joy to see their joy" is a psychopath talking. Namely, he loves to rub his status in the face of his earliest friends. I am certain they were overjoyed to be invited to the White House and Bush clearly understands they had no business with him, thus the joy in looking down his nose at them. Unlike moneymen who he has to carefully cultivate and pleasure."

1. Hmmmm....
How exactly, Mr pResident, does one "walk around" in an "accent."

The man knows he is an idiot. He speaks as if he's really nervous and self conscious.

At the core of this thug--is someone who sees the same cowardly, out-of-control, undeserving, third-rate dunderhead that we do.

His warmongering, swaggering, petulance and sociopathic behavior--are defense mechanisms designed to hide the truth from himself.

8. In West Texas
Where I went to college, I remember Bush's unsuccessful congressional race against Lloyd Doggett. He had not successfully acquired his fake accent and fake walk and Doggett painted him as an East Coast dandy, which he was.

Rove worked on the image an he rode the wave into office.....the rest is.....unmitigated distaster.

19. A lame attempt at appearing normal
But of course, it's another act. No way he can do it successfully.

While he obviously thinks he's God gift to us, I think he really shares a remarkable resemblence to another King George....



http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/related/george.htm

George III

George III ·1732-1792·King of Great Britain from 1760 to 1820
Born: June 4, 1738
Work: Ascended the throne in 1760 during the Seven Years' War. Concluded the Seven Years' War (Treaty of Paris.) Married Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, September 8, 1761. Prosecuted the American War of Independence, 1776. Prosecuted various war fronts with Revolutionary France, Napoleon.
Died: January 29, 1820.

George III was one of the longest reigning British Monarchs. He oversaw the conquest of an empire in the Seven Years' War, and the loss of the American Colonies in the War of Independence. The British Empire was the leading model of Industrial and economic development in an era when the whole world was to be mapped and conquered. The face of Europe changed dramatically, as Britain and France struggled for domination. Britain emerged from that struggle as the world's leading power, but it was a nation faced with a fragile governmental structure and deep social strife.

The King was poorly suited for the demands presented by the age. It was widely know that his intellectual abilities were limited. A long chain of ineffective appointments to parliament and an over-dependence on people whom he merely felt unthreatened by, resulted in terrible instability in policy both at home and abroad. Tom Paine pointed out, tellingly, in his treatise Common Sense, that a major failure of Monarchy was the specter of the people presented with "an ass for a lion" in the person of the King. Finally, George apparently suffered from a hereditary disease that rendered him practically insane for several long intervals, and then ultimately lasted until his death in 1820.

11. Not that is one SCARY interview
I wonder how long after Georgie is out of office before we find out that he's "just been" diagnosed with some sort of mental problem? That's what they did with Reagan, after all. When we found out my Grandmother had Alzheimers, we then knew she had been suffering from it for years before it was finally diagnosed. Reagan definatly had to have had Alzheimers while in office.

12. I'm certain he did, too. Actually, there was a lot of speculation about
this while he was in office. It just got confirmed a couple years later when he was finally diagnosed. But they never admitted it, of course; just said he had had a very "fast" decline from the disease.

13. "Fast decline" my ass!
When I found out Reagan had Alzheimers, I thought, "Oh! That explains it!" referring to all the odd things he did while in office. And you know what really pissed me off about him having Alzheimers? Nancy getting up there and say that even rich and famous people can't control somthing like Alzheimers. Well, gee, sweetie, at least you "rich and famous" people can afford better medical care than we could for my Grandmother, so don't come whining to me!

14. Remember all that stuff during the Iran hearings that he "couldn't
recall"? He probably couldn't. Scary.

So having done it once, those puppeteers looked for someone else whose strings could be pulled from behind the stage. And found him, in *.

17. That's a fact, but when will a credible mainstream
media source acknowledge it? Judging from his poll numbers, it's no big secret anymore.

18. It is pretty amazing...
...how the Bush's are politically elite at the same time they appear dumb Texas stoopid.

No offense to our Texan friends, but Bush DOES give Texas a bad name.
