1. I can understand why he's dissatisfied

and you just KNOW he's petulant. What a great adjective to describe *! Makes him sound like a bratty 10 year old girl. He's gotten his way his whole life by sulking, stamping his tiny feet and threatening to hold his breath until he turns blue. And it ain't working anymore. I think we'll begin to see a lot of the real * emerge over the next few months and it will not be a pretty sight.

4. Oh I hope so!

Poor little pissant. The events, unlike everything and everyone else all through his life - so obediently and reliably bending to his every whim, are just not playing ball like they're supposed to. I guess Fate didn't get the memo.

george, NOBODY gets his way 100 percent of the time. And if you've been brought up that way, MAN have you been poorly served!!!

2. Good gods! Did you see this part?

"The White House on Tuesday made it official: Bush is not endorsing the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut. That, of course, is tacit encouragement to Republicans to vote for incumbent Joe Lieberman, who is continuing to run even though he lost to Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary.

Mark Silva blogs in the Chicago Tribune: "The White House had been pressed for examples of the last time a president had decided against supporting one of his own party's candidates. And today the Bush administration came up with examples -- the last involving the president's father, and that onetime Republican candidate for governor in Louisiana, racist David Duke.""

So the Bush administration is now comparing the Republican senatorial candidate in Connecticut to the racist/NeoNazi David Duke?! Jesus, there is no honor among thieves...nor among murderers, it seems....

6. Petulant? Yes indeed. Great word .. one of my favorite insults.

Bu$h is a petulant, vapid little man. There! That is one of my all-time favorite insults. I have used it often, with nary a fight.

DemoTex (insulter): "Sir, you are a petulant, vapid little man!"

Insult-ee: Nothing but a slack jaw, dull eyes, and total bewilderment at what I just said to him.

7. Probably because your unfortunate insult-ee doesn't understand

what those words mean. You'd get the same blank stare from bush, too because his intellect is so pitifully limited.

Intriguing column. Froomkin actually sounds as if he's sworn off the Kool-aid for a few days.

8. KNR! A Petulant bush wants his

unca dick to make it go away and dammit they better say "Thank you, oh great ones from the West!"

"he president expressed frustration that Iraqis had not come to appreciate the sacrifices the United States had made in Iraq, and was puzzled as to how a recent anti-American rally in support of Hezbollah in Baghdad could draw such a large crowd."
