Why Preznit Anally Receptive is the stupidest fucking president in my lifetime, or the lifetime of any of my direct descendants to come. Juan Williams of NPR barely fares better...
MR. WILLIAMS: All right, Mr. President, the reports that 300 militants were killed, an American helicopter shot down yesterday in Najaf - that's one of the deadliest battles of the war, what can you tell us?
PRESIDENT BUSH: You know, Juan, I haven't been briefed by the Pentagon yet. One of the things I've learned is not to react to first reports off the battlefield. I will tell you, though, that this fight is an indication of what is taking place, and that is the Iraqis are beginning to take the lead, whether it be this fight that you've just reported on where the Iraqis went in with American help to do in some extremists that were trying to stop the advance of their democracy, or the report that there's militant Shia had been captured or killed. In other words, one of the things that I expect to see is the Iraqis take the lead and show the American people that they're willing to the hard work necessary to secure their democracy, and our job is to help them.
Yeah, democracy is spreading like the horsehit that flows from the Decidering Decision-makers lying gob. Or not, actually I think the horseshit comes out faster. Juan Williams interview is sort of insightful into the thought-processes (or lack thereof) of the Deciderer-in-Chief. Is everything he says scripted in non-sequitor sound-bites? Or does he have an original thought in his fucking brain? Don't answer that. Then there's the love to his fave quisling "democrat" (note the smallest of "d's"...please)
MR. WILLIAMS: Now, you've got a vote tomorrow in the Senate to consider a resolution opposing the troop buildup. Vice President Cheney said last week that vote would validate the insurgents' strategy. And so, do you agree?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, there's a lot of strong opinions about it. My attitude is - my feeling to the Senate echoes what Joe Lieberman said the other day - Senator Joe Lieberman ...
Ignore the man behind the curtain. Joe Lieberfuck is one of the few rat-fuckers left in DC that will still crawl over broken glass to give George what Monica gave Bill. I hope he doesn't get any on his tie.
MR. WILLIAMS: Well, another question about Vice President Cheney – he said last week that – here I'm quoting – "we've encountered enormous successes and we continue to have enormous successes in Iraq." Two weeks ago you said, quote, "there hadn't been enough success in Iraq." So it sounds like there's a conflicting message there.
Simple answer, Juanito... Dickey hadn't shot anyone in the face, ipso facto, it was a great year. Well, sort of.
Williams does get inside the Bubble of Codpiece for a moment:
MR. WILLIAMS: By the way, in the speech, you spoke about the Democrats. You said, you congratulated the Democrat majority. And I notice your prepared text said Democratic majority. I surely think that you know that for the Democrats, they think when you say Democrat, it's like fingernails on the blackboard. They don't like it. They like you to say Democratic.
PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah. Well, that was an oversight then. I mean, I'm not trying to needle. Look, I went into the hall saying we can work together and I was very sincere about it. I didn't even know I did it.
Uh-huh. As if. He fucking well knew he said "Democrat"; it's second nature to him just as it is to all the republicans; after all his campaign ran that infamous "Democ" RAT commercial. Deny this, motherfucker (me pointing southwards...). Then the departure for Fiscal Fantasyland ... again...
MR. WILLIAMS: Will the budget be balanced through spending restraint or taxes?
PRESIDENT BUSH: The budget is going to be balanced by keeping taxes low. ...
Yeah, billions per week for a war no one wants but him and Dickie (and CheneyBurton); but pay for it? Nahhhh...
And so it goes. The spin is endless...the bullshit smells no better this year than it did in 2000; the difference? Well, it costs more now.
