Bush says "Sam Donaldson is a has-been." He is, but Bush saying it right

[patricia92243]

to his face, in front of a large crowd,and on tv is horribly rude.

Our fearless leader seems to be on a roll of rudeness- Yo, Tony, chewing and talking with his mouth full, back-rubbing that woman during the summit (Can't remember her name) - all this has happened in a couple of weeks.

I wonder if the MSM reported this kinda thing regularly, how bad it would really be.

[Ecumenist]

1. Ummm , I think that le grand idiot is

decompensating, BIG TIME. Whatever has been going on is definitely accelerating and it's no longer possible is ignore and pooh-pooh it.

[Karenca]

2. I saw that

Disgusting. And bush was laughing ang laughing.

[Dhalgren]

3. I haven't heard of this. What happened? What was said?

[patricia92243]

10. On The Daily Show they showed a clip of it. Bush said exactly what I said

in the OP. He also said "We don't have to listen to a "has-been."

He was grinning like a monkey, so I don't know if he was "just kidding." But I still say - kidding or not -it was rude. I would not want anybody saying that to me.

4. Wtf? I missed that one...sheesh

:eyes:

[spooky3]

5. he never got out of high school intellectually and socially

My apologies to our DUers in high school, who I am sure do not run with the Bush crowd.

[goclark]

14. Never got out of Kindergarten

He is a Kindergarten Bully, plain and simple.

I taught Kgn. and the Bully Boys acted the same way he does.

[spooky3]

17. I stand corrected!

[tanyev]

6. Sam can take comfort in the fact that he's not a fecking moron.

[Joe Bacon]

7. Doesn't matter. The SCREW REPUBLIC will still worship Bush

Just like the rest of the Whore Press, they worship the ground Chucklenuts walks on and they consider it an honor when he mentions them!

[KKKarl is an idiot]

15. This is political

The only way you can get the republican base to vote for you is to act like them. Just as dumb & stupid

[TAPat]

8. WTF double plus - I missed it too... nt

[Missy M]

9. I read the transcript and as usual Bush was trying to be...

a stand up comedian. It doesn't work because he isn't the least bit funny, instead he sounds like the ass that he is.

[susu369]

26. Dead center

*nt*

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. I think it is power and arrogance

It is the equivalent of eating grapes, lounging on a bed of roses while a concubine waves a palm leaf over him. He believes he rules the world, and therefore he can do anything, cross any boundary, ridicule anyone anytime. The rules don't apply to him.

[global1]

13. Wow - An Interesting Picture You Paint - SNL Should Do A Skit....

that portrays * this way. Maybe some people would get the message.

[Lisa]

23. if he choked on a pretzel, I wonder what would happen with grapes?

He'd probably have one go down the wrong way while he was whining because Condi, or Karen, or the German Chancellor, had refused to peel them for him!

[no_hypocrisy]

12. More Freudian projection. He's talking about himself.

[venable]

16. but why does the WH press corp laugh

at these inanities?

it is a perverse symbiosis.

Any reporter with dignity is not laughing, but there are enough wannabes, cowed by power, to give the impression that the room is enjoying the stupid frat boy insults.

In addition to spiralling the world toward destruction after having stolen two elections, bush is just not funny.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

18. I think he was saying that to the press as a collective

"You all are has-beens, and so what you gonna
do about it you pussies?"

[patricia92243]

19. He clled Sam by name.

[calico1]

20. Bush is lucky that he didn't become

president during Donaldson's heyday. He would have ripped him to shreds. He was like a bulldog and never backed down. We need more reporters to ask the type of tough questions he used to ask instead of the pansies that make up most of the WH press corp.

[Doctor_J]

21. Will the press corps rally behind Sam, or continue to slobber

over Smirk?

:eyes:

[wicket]

22. As Mr. Donaldson retorted: "Better to be a has-been than a never-was"

:rofl:

[Lisa]

24. that'll look great on a sign -- as he's leaving the WH in January 2009

... and ever after. "Has-Been" Bush!

And I totally agree with the "Never Was" assessment.

[tabasco]

25. What, there were no blind guys around for him to humiliate?

Bush is an utter digrace to this Nation.
