"Just A Comma"

Our sociopathic monkey-boy president.

Are you the least bit surprised?

I agree with the first comment--he means that all that's happened will seem like just a comma after he's through making it worse in ways you can't even fathom. Yet.

Give Bush credit where credit is due. History books will view Iraq as a comma in certain contexts.

George W. Bush,(<-- there is the Iraq reference) the worst president ever,(<-- there is the domestic fuck-up reference) was a big fuck-up.

I'm thinking he meant to say footnote, not comma, but you know how is grasp of the English language is. The effect is the same, though.

I *really* liked that comment about making a contrast video showing Clinton vs Bush when challenged (turning it into some organization's 537 ad) but I fear it would only appeal to us who already have some idea what's going on, and merely frighten everybody else who let the neocons talk them into buying this mess.

Or better yet, show the video of Bush attempting to intimidate Matt Lauer then Clinton running over whatshisname from Faux News.

Imagine a President who can intimidate with words instead of (trying) to do it physically.

Chris Wallace.

I agree, great idea.

I've been thinking of making a comparative video of the two of them for a while. This one is just about Doubja:

Word word bloody too-true word!! Yes!
What a great youtube essay--thankyou!
And I totally agree on being unable to look in the man's evol, evol face, the sound of him make my stomach roll over horribly!
May I crosspost your link over in my lj?
Yes, I like to be considerate and ask first.
I'd be delighted to contribute to crashing servers by sending this link all over the net.

By all means

Thank you for your comments.
Even better than the link, cut & paste the text provided on the page to embed the video. I've enabled it so that you can.
I've spent three months building up a kidly, love-all-comers persona on you-tube...only to throw it away on hating this Evul Monkey-man.
You are welcome to promulgate at will.

This looks like a perfect illustration of how his administration seems to think: We have this ideology, we know it's right, and any inconvenient "facts" that challenge our ideology are just temporary stumbling blocks. We know that these things will change very soon, because we know that we are right.

If they had approached their term thinking, "We have an idea, and we'd like to test out this idea and see if it works, and if it doesn't then we can modify our idea and find some method that does work", then we wouldn't be in this mess. As long as they remain convinced beyond all else that they are right, they can't even consider change.

Well, in maybe a hundred years, sixth graders willl be asking why we need to know Chimpy's name, or what quagmire he deserted us in. In that sense, it's a comma...

[mouser.livejournal.com]

I think he meant footnote. As in "In a thousand years, when the history of the region is written, this conflict will be little more than a footnote."

It'll be written in English, of course - all the native culture will be gone. If you doubt me, you remember the idea that the Iraquis would be able to choose their own form of government? I read the thing that said that - they can choose anything they want, as long as it's an elected democracy.

[tesral.livejournal.com]

I have one question. When we are done giving democracy to Iraq, can we have some here?

[mouser.livejournal.com]

Our government views it like DDT - great for those that aren't REAL people!

[underpope.livejournal.com]

They say that in a democracy, we get the government we deserve.

I wonder what horrific sin our nation has committed to get such a dangerous moron as President.

[tomreedtoon.livejournal.com]

It was admiration for Michael Jackson and Carrot Top. Our current horrors are expiation of those sins.

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

I was wondering what horrific sin we had committed to have had the Perjuring Penis as President.

[underpope.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I wonder that about any administration. Few politicians above the school board level retain any shred of dignity, character or integrity, I've found. Buncha liars, crooks, maniacs, morons, and robber barons.

Tom Smith for President!

Y'know, if someone could duplicate the drugs this guy is on, they could make a fortune...

This is a suprise how?

[tesral.livejournal.com]

Like the title says. I loath the Mid terms and wonder how the neo-cons that should be cons will steal this election. Frankly, any place that uses electronic voting machines cannot be trusted.

Bush and his cronies have no respect for human life, or anything else for that matter than does not make them rich(er).

Re: This is a suprise how?

[mouser.livejournal.com]

In order to make you feel REALLY safe:

Diebold also makes ATMs.

Re: This is a suprise how?

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

I always use that as an example of how suspicious voting machines are. ATMs have paper trails, they _must_ have paper trails, no bank would even touch them unless they had a secure paper trail. Yet the voting machines don't have paper trails, and Diebold says they're not important and can't be installed anyway because it would conflict with the voting program.

That pretty much says it all right there.

[tomreedtoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, forgot to mention...if this part of history is a comma, can we be safe to assume that Bush is a colon? Or a semi-colon, meaning half the colon? (And guess which half of the colon he is.)

[deadpool247.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Shoot, if it wasn't for the fact that he's (sadly) fictional, I'd suggest we'd send Brock Samson to the Middle East, and he'd clean up this mess in about a week or two.

Was that a noise?

Over at Pandagon, they figure it's a dog whistle: a coded phrase to the base that flys over the heads of the rest of us... Operating theory is that he's refering to the Aphorism: “Never put a period where God has put a comma.”

Link to Pandagon, who got it from Agonist: http://pandagon.net/2006/09/26/that-was-when-you-were-riding-embedded-my-child/

[phaedress.livejournal.com]

Okay, this is really creepy. I suspected that "stupid" had to be a front for something....but coded messages to the Religious Right? I just hope mention of an equine quartet doesn't pass his lips.

[nightmarewriter.livejournal.com]

Darn straight it's creepy...

It's sort of like when Bush talked about the Dred Scott decision... the rational part of America went 'wha...?', but the anti-choice crowd, they heard the whistle... it was code for dismantling Roe v. Wade.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott_v._Sandford, under 'Later References', and the References at the end.

...and watch what' you're saying about Equines... =)

[phaedress.livejournal.com]

Great Dreadful Scott!
Can I get a hearing-aid for this special dog-whistle, or do I have to go through the indocrination process and become born-again?

[nightmarewriter.livejournal.com]

To hear it yourself, you only have to surrender your freedom, your frontal lobes, and your immortal soul...

I make do by checking prominent lefty blogs that have special o-scopes that can detect such sounds and clue in the rest of us... =)
