Bush on C-Span with Merkel and he's either Drunk or has had Dental Work
He's saying Chancesor Merkel...and that guy in Iran...NOW.....Her Speech coming up from Crawford.

Don't think the meeting went well...he just said "we are coming up with "sosutions to these problems with climate change and if you're broke you can't do this."

1. He's admitting he's bankrupted the country?
He must be drugs to let that slip.

3. Merkel probably smacked him across the face too hard.

Bill Clinton was never dumb enough to get HIS sexual advances caught on tape.


Okay, maybe once.




But COME ON!

4. Tuned in just in time to hear Bush say, in the pause after Merkel's speech
while waiting for the translation: Jawohl! Classy.

5. He has an exaggerated "teacherish" hiss he uses when he

thinks he's made some powerful intellectual point and wants to lecture his inferiors.

Nasty little ill educated pest.

8. He uses that hypersibilant "s" whenever he feels capable of stringing six words together without
going "unnh" in between -- he uses the essy esses when he thinks he's really impressing the daylights out of people, and I'm wondering who he's imitating......

Did (Rev.) Billy Graham use those esses when he was in sermon-mode??? I never listened to Graham enough to know, but I have a feeling ** is imitating somebody who was a great AUTHORITY figure earlier in his life.

11. After doing some internet research in 2004,

I came to the conclusion it was his mother. The persona he takes on really seems to fit "beautiful mind" Babs, with her absolute lack of empathy--rather snake-like, to my mind.

I can just hear her in his esses, criticizing the bad little five year old who has yet to totally master his bowels and bladder. The bitter, teeth clenched, sibilant-slimy, gritty-voiced threat to the mortal existence of a special class of ignorant, powerless serf, the pitiable fool--her son.

The son is the mother.

12. You mean the woman who went golfing the day after little George's sister was buried
and didn't bother to explain anything at all to little George? Or try to comfort him in his confusion and loss?

THAT mother? Who had the son who told the press "That's the thing about being president, see, I don't have to explain to anybody. Other people have to explain to me." Or words to that effect.

I haven't heard Ba speak (don't think I could take it, actually -- I can't listen to ** for more than about five seconds) -- but if my "authority figure" theory is correct at all, you have to be right.....in trying to exude confidence, he imitates his reptilian mother.

The other mannerism that drives me nuts is the raising of the eyebrows and keeping them raised while he's giving a major speech (to Congress, for instance) -- I think he's trying for a look of sincerity, but I read somewhere liars frequently do that --

Anyway, that would explain why he's so obsessed with power -- because she made him feel so powerless for so long.

And then that nervous little breathy chuckle when he thinks he's being cute. dear god. Am going to go to bed now before I get my bowels in an uproar.

Would go nuts without d.u.........

13. Yeah, that little self-prissy chuckle would be a most definite motherism.
One of the fascinating father/mother/son/daughter mental lashups that were teased out many years ago is the notion that, as a rule, the son marries/becomes his mother and a daughter marries/becomes her father.
There are variations of this theme, with the child marrying the parent, the child may play out the assigned role by choosing someone who is point for point the polar opposite. It amounts to the same thing, merely being a variation on a theme.

Anyway, nice chatting with you. Good night--sleep well. Pi-- on *.
