You know, I've been waiting a l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g time for this day
damn near 6 years.

This is the day that Bush completely self destructed.

Bush has been and is in eternal campaign mode.

But he can't govern.

Hell, he can't even walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

Finally the country is catching on to the fact that the man is an incompetent, clueless buffoon. He's a catch phrase in a suit.

He started a war, killed thousands upon thousands, and had the nerve today to say that ending the war is someone else's problem.

He's wasted and squandered so much of our money. The same is true of our most precious resources.

He keeps lying and lying and lying.

He even had the nerve to play that "Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors in" card.

However, People are finally taking note. More importantly, the press.

I just hope the country doesn't go down with him.

47. But most of the press is still either ignoring his lies and mistatements
or spinning them into unrecognizable form. Our only hope is for a few brave press members to take on this administration the way Woodward (since gone over to the dark side because of his siding with the PNACers) and Bernstein did the Nixon administration.

It will take time and *ahem* sacrifice. But we can fix it.

11. Don't check any of the freeper boards then
All they're talking about is how * kicked ass today. He came out on fire, and totally pwned Helen Thomas. They're talking about how * made the clueless liberal media look bad by giving them a good scolding. They watch these things like a sports fan watches his team, and can't see when they commit a flagrant foul. Every call that goes against them is bullshit. I think that 30% aren't budging, no matter what * does.

Ever hear the P.M. Dawn song, "Reality used to be a friend of mine?"

There will always be a segment of this population that is so stupid, they need to be beaten over the head with a 2x4.

19. Good...just more proof of how totally clueless they are.
Who cares if they keep thinking every Bush meltdown is a victory? The idiots will have *NO* idea what happened and how it happened, even though they've been right there the whole time. Let them keep living in their own delusional "reality" until it crashes down around their ears.

20. "Sports fans" is exactly right.
The sportsification of coverage and the culture war dividing the US into mutually incompatible "teams" reinforce each other. Nobody asks if their home team is "right" or "wrong". They just cheer.

21. Why would you be hanging out on the freeper boards?
Any place where people are delusional enough to think Bush has a clue is no place any non-freeper wants to be.

23. that's not true, Vektor
While it is not a "freeper" board, I also post on Mike Luckovich's blog.

There are about 5 or 6 hardcore lunatics who show up day after day tripping all over themselves trying to defend Bush.

I get quite a kick out of it.

Check out "Liberals Suck and Lie". His name is Andy, but he keeps changing his userid to more obnoxious names to match his obnoxiousness.

24. Oh, I'm talking about the REAL freeper boards.
You know, the ones we can't mention and such? I think most have said that visits there have left them feeling dirty and in need of decontamination, Silkwood style. :-)

34. No, they're WORSE than sports fans
Most sports fans I know will happily jeer their own team captain when they continually screw up. Bushies are a different breed entirely. Their quarterback could fumble the ball play after play after play after play and they'd STILL shave his jersey number on their empty heads.

25. sigh
He's self destructed before. Remember that first debate where he seemed to be heavily drugged? The media will do what they always do and pretend he was competent. The Chimpster would have to speak in tongues as his head rotated al la Excorcist before they'd say anything.

27. Spinbaby
there's a huge difference this time.

Because Iraq is going so badly, more and more people are beginning to speak out, and the press has stopped fawning over this idiot.

You did NOT see that during campaign 2000 or 2004.

Katrina played a big part in paving the way, too.

Every time I think that surely this is it, they can't ignore this, they do.

Thanks for the pep talk, though.

Apparently, to about 30% of the population, that would be better than having one person in the country go down ON him.

29. Dont forget:
This president has killed far more people (and many of his own citizens and troops) than any of the past 42 presidents combined (well, maybe Johnson). And yet, he claims to "err on the side of life". Well, practice what you preach, jackass!

It's true that his ratings with the American people are at rock bottom, but Congress still gives him whatever he asks for. Until they start standing up to him, we still have more work.

48. He is all campaign.
I have said it before and I will say it again. His support was always artificial based on campaigning and running ads. He's got nothing to run for now, so he is getting killed when people aren't blinded by PR. He's really not that great and everyone sees it.
