Asshat Nation: Bush Shows Reporter What's in His Pockets

[NVMojo]

this reminds me of the articles where they made Bush sound like a guy you could drink a beer with ....does anyone really believe he wears a Timex?

WASHINGTON (AP) -

President Bush may be burdened with the world's problems, but his pockets are pretty light.

It turns out the leader of the free world doesn't have to worry about carrying all the essentials of the common man.

Bush revealed the contents of his pockets Tuesday to an Argentine newspaper reporter who was interviewing him in advance of a presidential trip to Latin America later this week. When the reporter from La Nacion asked Bush to show him what he carries, the president stood up, fished in his pockets, then dramatically pulled his hands out holding nothing but a white handkerchief that he waved playfully in the air.

"Es todo," Bush told the Spanish-speaking reporter, meaning the handkerchief was all. "No dinero, no mas. No wallet."

1. An article by Pickles. But what's the message?

Is it Bush the Lesser can speak spanish and speak to reporters?

Or is it Bush is anything but common and thinks a latin man must be asking if he has any money?

Plus - This man loves to break the law:

Asked by the reporter if he even had a watch, Bush said "Si, Timex," showing him a timepiece with "W" on the face, "but I'm not supposed to be endorsing products."

8. I'm so embarrassed for Our Country ...

IMO (and many others) Bush has a form of Dementia It's development is seemingly gradual, similar to that which effected Reagan in the last few years of his Presidency.

However, the increasing incidents of Mental, Emotional and Behavioral incidents are IMPOSSIBLE to ignore. Especially since he supposedly choked on a pretzel and later *crashed* his mountain bike into a Brit. Police Officer while visiting London?!?

Bush should resign and seek IMMEDIATE treatment!?! The WORLD knows the forgoing. Too bad our corporate media has so little respect for The American People, they would NOT dare to reveal the TRUTH regarding Our President's Medical Condition. :cry:

President Bush's "mangled" words are a demonstration of what physicians call "confabulation," and are almost specific to the diagnosis of a true dementia. Bush should immediately be given the advantage of a considered professional diagnosis, and started on drugs that offer the possibility of retarding the slow but inexorable course of the disease.
