Is Bush a genius?

[BurtWorm]

According to this poor, deluded winger he is:

http://powerlineblog.com/archives/011183.php

"It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile."

:spray:

[Flubadubya]

1. WTF?

Is the "Ratz Benedict" Pope Jewish? Bwahahaha!!!! :rofl:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

2. Bwahahahahahahaha

OMG, that's the funniest delusion I've read in a long time. Thanks for the chuckle.

[marylanddem]

3. Thanks. One thing I agree with:

"it must be very strange to be President Bush"
Strange and horrifying at the same time.

I also enjoyed the bad grammar: "brilliance approaching to genius"

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. To this delusional fool, bush** probably is "genius" material.

I'd say, just consider the source.

[Wickerman]

4. well he certainly is misunderstood

as many "geniuses" are. For instance, the author of that blog totally misunderstands Bush. :eyes:

[dissent1977]

59. You mean they misunderestimate him

[unhappycamper]

5. A box of rocks is smarter than *

Plus the rocks wouldn't try to destroy this country and the world. I do however agree with the statement "It must be very strange to be President Bush."

[geek tragedy]

6. Time's Blog of the Year strikes again. Yeesh. nt

[Deja Q]

7. People are geniuses for being led.

[Strawman]

8. Reminds me of what Rude Pundit once wrote about Powerline

The Powerline people are notoriously thin-skinned, especially considering that they proudly gave themselves the gayest pseudonyms in all of political blogdom: the Hindrocket and the Big Trunk, with handy phallic pictures of a thrusting rocket and an elephant holding his trunk erect. This is not to mention the demonic owl with its legs spread wide (the symbol of the writer known as the "Deacon"), as if saying, "Suck my wise owlish cock, fuckers. Please?"

:rofl:

[Wind Dancer]

43. The Rude Pundit has such a way with words, lol.

I wish I could catch his upcoming show in NYC.

[Strawman]

51. what he says about the owl one kills me

:rofl:

[Mr_Spock]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! To a freeper he must seem smart

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[annabanana]

10. now THAT'S funny!

(I'm sure the poor deluded winger numbers himself among the illuminati because he - among the very select few - can discern B*sh's extraordinary brilliance)


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[dogday]

11. The only Masterpiece he unveils

is masterpiece bbq sauce. Puts it on everything......

[iconoclastic cat]

12. Well, what's a word for someone whose vapidity is nearly superhuman?

[MichiganVote]

13. Yeah. Bush is a regular Beethoven. Guy needs the white coats to visit him

[zeal]

14. i used to think....

back in 2000 that bush was playnig stupid to lower expectations in the debate and get good media coverage when he pronouced words correctly...

the last 4 years have changed that...

[Henny Penny]

31. lol welcome zeal!

:toast: :rofl:

[PATRICK]

15. Approaching to grammar

but falling a bit short.

Mock my words, a grate pResident,

Bored, hostile. He forgot "sardonically amused".

[unrepuke]

26. "Mock my words" - hahahaha

I love the scene in the Martin Lawrence movie, where he's back in Medieval Times =
"Are ya mockin' me? Are ya mockin' me?"

:D

[wtmusic]

17. That whole "stupid" thing is a very, very clever act

and we are all too dense to see it. Stupid, yeah. Stupid like a fox!

[marylanddem]

20. If only he were a cartoon like Homer

Maybe in the end it doesn't matter if * is smart or stupid - he is an evil warmonger who hasn't an ounce of detectible compassion for those he has sent to die.

[DS1]

18. This man is clearly a candle to Bush's searchlight

:eyes:

[MN ChimpH8R]

19. A friend of mine worked as a temp attorney for AssRocket

once. His take: Classic short-man syndrome. Gigantic ego, and the kind of guy who lives to fire 10 support staffers just before the holidays. Never talked about anything but his glorious self. He's the kind of guy who'd steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes if he thought no one was looking. An ethical lawyer, yes, but politically and personally a complete tool.

[sojourner]

24. as I haven't been to the site being lampooned here, could you

tell me who AssRocket is? (my first guess was Bush, but then your last sentence undid that...so, mebbe Ashcroft?) Or did you refer to your friend in the last sentence and AssRocket really is Bush?

[MN ChimpH8R]

25. See the OP nt

[BurtWorm]

30. Hindrocket is one of the bloggers at Powerline

I assume that's who's meant by assrocket.

[sojourner]

42. thanks...tho' I finally decided assrocket meant Bush, and that the last

sentence was an explanation about his friend, the lawyer - ethical lawyer but a "tool".

?? :shrug:

[ulTRAX]

21. The BEST way to explain Bush is........

The BEST way to explain Bush is the failure of the opposition. Democrats have no core principles that gives them a vision of America they can sell to the nation.... and without such a vision they can't think strategically to counter the Right.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. The Ultimate Example Of Failing Up

If he had been born to a middle class, unconnected family, he would have been qualified only for a job with a paper hat.
The Professor

[sojourner]

23. hmmm....sounds like someone engaging in some fantasy about his/her own

unappreciated genius, projected onto the blank canvas that is Bush. You know...Bush the "regular guy" that everyone in America wants to "have a beer with".


:rofl:

[theHandpuppet]

27. Yes, an idiot savant....

... sans the savant.

[kitkat65]

32. And it takes a village to raise an idiot eom

[woodsprite]

28. Bush/Rove = Pinky and The Brain n/t

[etherealtruth]

39. OK, I'll give you that ...

... but you MUST admit Pinky is far more articulate than the chimp ...and the Brain ... I think it's a 100% match.

[MN ChimpH8R]

47. Pinky & The Brain

"What are we going to do tonight, Uncle Dick?"
"The same thing we do every night, Georgie - TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!"

The resemblance is uncanny.

[RobertSeattle]

29. Homoerotic literature by Powerline

Powerline:
"See how Bush leans his cheek upon his hand! O that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek! "

(Powerline & W Act II, Sc. II)

[Hubert Flottz]

33. "Recommend"

Looks like you found one of the brighter and more well misinformed freepers, from that vast freeper horde. People who also see the "brilliance approaching to genius" of others like dAnn Coulter, Rash Lameball and the freepy guy with the "Get A Life Morans" sign!

[glitch]

34. It's easy for morons to find geniuses. Everybody looks smart to them. nt

[bunny planet]

35. Who knew they were appreciaters of art and music masterpieces.

I'm impressed.:sarcasm: Too bad it's the painting of the 'Dogs Playing Poker' and the collected works of Toby Keith that he's referring to as examples of masterpieces.

[Oreo]

36. The only way Bush could be ahead of his time....

The only way Bush could be ahead of his time... is if his policies cause our future to be like the stone age. He'd fit in really well with the cavemen

[LisaL]

37. I would much prefer to live without Bush's masterpieces,

thank you very much.
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Just because his IQ is 2 points above a mentally challenged cucumber?

[Sgent]

40. Why do we rip on Bushes intelligence?

He's obviously a genius, cause he's kicked our ass for the last 6 years.

He has no morals, and did a great amount of it by cheating, but guess who just appointed Roberts as SC Judge? Or signed CAFTA? or .....

Yea, Rove gets a lot of credit too, but I personally think Bush is a lot smarter than people here give hime credit for -- at least politically.

[BurtWorm]

45. I think he's a well-protected smirking thug.

I suppose there might be some genius to being a well-protected smirking thug.

[loyalsister]

56. Thank you!

The question that we should all ask ourselves is- Did we think it would be this bad when he took office or when he was running in 2000?

For me the answer is "no."
That means that I was hoodwinked into thinking this guy could not accomplish much. Much of that has to do with careless language, etc.
Yet, he has been able to push through an obscenely radical agenda against all odds.
That takes some skill, and yes some intelligence.
It's not hard to be careless with language and it just might impress some working class voters because it might create the illusion of an ordinary guy.
If we were to come down off of our ivory tower and look at this from a less superior point of view we might see that his creation of character is brilliant because it wins him friends everywhere and has allowed him to pull off a ridiculous agenda.
A world domination experiment under a failing economy.

[Yupster]

64. He has great discipline

Whether campaigning or governing, you don't throw him off his game.

He has goals, and regardless of what else is happening in the world, he marches on to those goals.

This week we hear his approval rating hits an all-time low. For many politicians that would mean a time of reflection, rehuddling and changing direction. Not to Bush. He just marches ahead, and he scores many victories.

I think we can expect him to have a game plan for the 2006 elections, and he won't waver from it.

He's no genius, but he will keep pushing until the day he leaves office.

[Fly by night]

41. "Does Karl Rove's breath smell of roses and not of J. Gannon's butt?"

[progressoid]

44. Whaaaaa???

Sweet Jesus, what a tool.

[ananda]

46. harrumph

Does it take a genius to destroy America and the planet?

If so, Bush wins the genius competition.

I pass.

[LeftNYC]

48. Bush thought Sweden was a neutral country with no army...nt

[lonestarnot]

49. Genius No, Power of the Antichrist, yes.

[Alizaryn]

50. NOPE...

HE IS NOT A MODERN DAY MOSES EITHER!

[VOX]

52. This "genius" doesn't know if there are any black folks in Brazil.

But then, he's so **brilliant** :puke: that perhaps he can't be bothered with details.

:rofl:

[Connie_Corleone]

53. Compared to Rick Santorum, yes. n/t

[bonito]

54. Yes If your REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid

[Lisa]

55. in comparison to what?

I'm reminded of the politician in "My Fellow Americans" who bragged about how his apparent dimwittedness is "just a clever fakade".


Actually, if you think that one of the traits of a smart person might be to get out of hard work or stressful situations by convincing others to cover for him (for example, by convincing them that he wouldn't be capable) -- I guess Bush is cunning, in that respect.

[SunDrop23]

57. Bush isn't a genius, but the author is definitely drunk.

[Wetzelbill]

58. well, that guy is nuts

but Bush isn't as dumb as we like to make him out to be. He's not too sharp either though.

[gulliver]

60. Yes.

He is a genius at deception (in addition to being an ignoramus and pluperfect asshole). Bush's slickness makes Clinton's look like coarse sandpaper. Bush has eliminated the need for subtlety in the con, a true breakthrough in deception.

[raysr]

61. Rude Pundit

picked that up!http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

[lectrobyte]

62. To paraphrase Sleepless in Seattle, I'll have what Mr. Powerline is smokin

It must be el Primo.

[barb162]

63. Of course he's a genius. Simian is prez twice now.

How many simians have been prez of the USA
