Cocky Democrats measuring drapes, says Bush

A DEFIANT George W.Bush yesterday taunted Democrats who, he said, were so sure of victory in the November 7 Congressional elections that they were already "measuring their drapes" for their new offices in the seat of power on Capitol Hill.

...

But Mr Bush said: "In Washington, people have already determined the outcome of the election, like it's over even before the people actually start voting. You know, they got them measuring their drapes."

He was referring to comments made by Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats' leader in the house who is in line to become the next speaker if her party wins power.

In a recent interview, she discussed the prospects of taking control, saying: "I'll have any suite I want."

Mr Bush said: "They're going over to the Capitol and saying well, 'My new office looks beautiful; I think I'm going to have this size drape there or this colour'. But the American people are going to decide, and they're going to decide this race based upon who is best to protect the American people."

1. cocky?>

Who is being 'cocky' here?
Bush and Dickhead Cheney saying they ARE going to win 7Novembra

[PerceptionManagement]

12. Chimpy should be worried about being labeled an Enemy Combatant in 2008

not what the Dems are doing or not doing, in this case.

31. Ask Pervert JOHN ASHCROFT about DRAPES LOL

No longer will US Attorney General John Ashcroft appear in public with a semi-nude statue towering above him.

The US Justice Department has spent $8,000 on curtains to hide the statue from the cameras.

The female, art-deco "Spirit of Justice" statue, with one breast exposed, is located on the podium in the department's ornate Great Hall where news conferences are often held.

One fully-exposed breast protrudes from her toga garment.

43. Like there's money in the budget for drapes.

[Renew Deal]

2. The republican message is so crossed up

No one knows what's up and what's down. Bush wants to talk about security and social security. Congresscritters want to talk about war and the economy. Other pukes have resorted to hate, racism, and sexism.

[maxrandb]

28. Not to mention

I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not I'm "weak" or "cocky".

Am I a "limp wristed San Francisco liberal who wants to sip wine with Osama", or am I an "attack dog, viciously stomping on Republicans".

Am I a "French surrender, brie eating weakling", or a "rabid, do anything it takes to win snarling menace".

:crazy:

[MrModerate]

3. Accusing Dems of being cocky is the same as . . .

Acknowledging they're going to win. That master of psychology GW Bush seems to have unaccountably misstepped here.

[Doremus]

29. They need to remember to take some of the keys off the typewriters

and blame the pukes for trashin' the joint. :evilgrin:

[llmart]

47. Ha. Ha. I was going to post the same thing..........

Remember that lie the Repugs put out there after Dopey stole the first election? It was all over the news media and the retraction that it was all a lie was in small print somewhere on page 55.

[William769]

4. This is the sign Bush needs to be worried about

in front of the White House!

[saltpoint]

5. Tell us how the anthrax investigation is going, Mr. President.

Tell us where Osama bin Laden is.

Tell us why veterans are treated so shabbily under your administration.

Tell us why Donald Rumsfeld is still in your employ.

Where are your National Guard files and records?

[badgerpup]

6. Yeah...and your point is?

They'll have more important things to deal with once they're actually in office.

You know, like draining the swamp?

[NoodleyAppendage]

7. They should be measuring his and Cheney's hanging rope.

F' the drapes. I'm hoping for construction of gallows.

[BOSSHOG]

8. Why do you have to measure the drapes?

The windows stay the same size don't they? I look forward to bush pacing and measuring his small cell for the rest of his life.

[casus belli]

14. I've Got To Imagine Years Of Republican Leadership

leaves a pretty nasty layer of film on everything that won't wash off. New drapes is a good idea.

[Lisa]

53. Measuring FOR the new drapes, more like it ...

Good point, BOSSHOG. I think Georgie flubbed his lines again -- understandable since he wouldn't know anything about moving preparations, since he's so lazy that he probably made Laura do all the work.

[bluerum]

9. Blanket party for the shrub day after the elections. Bring your own

pillow cases.

[Bitwit1234]

10. Mentality

Here we have the world falling apart and bush is ranting on and trying to distract us himself. He should be talking about a real plan in Iraq instead of accusing democrats of measuring drapes.

But then when they stole the white house, instead of looking over the situation in the world, you know, you know, like "bin laden wants to fly airplanes into tall buildings" maybe his mind was on NEW DRAPES. Like I said since that was upper most on HIS mind maybe he thinks everyone is a dim bulbed as he is.

[rock]

11. See what I mean when I say

everthing bush* says is ironic.

[Hugin]

13. 'it's over even before the people actually start voting'...

Just now getting that... Mr. Acting Appointee? :eyes:

[longship]

15. Rewind to November 8, 2000

Remember?

Talk about cocky. With the Presidential election in a tie which would not be resolved until SCOTUS intervened five weeks later the Chimp wasted no time *arrogantly* assembling his new cabinet prospects, effectively measuring the drapes for the White House.

It's like virtually every f*cking thing with these assholes, everything they criticize the Dems for, they are guilty of themselves times ten. Of course, were it not for their totally inept and partisan governance for the past six years they wouldn't be in the fix they are in.

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[Binka]

35. Projection Is The Fav Tool Of Malignant Narcissistis... Read GOP

They always want to be the VICTIM. They always couch their failures as the problems of others. Passive aggressive assholes every last pathetic one of them. Gawd I loathe these fuckers and their fucking failure STEPFORD WIFE mothers.

Good Mommies don't let their babies vote GOP.

17. However we feel about him, we must not get too 'cocky' or voters...

might get the idea that it is in the bag for Democrats and not go out and vote and that would be a disaster.

[Up2Late]

18. So nice of News Corp to add the word Cocky and down play the number...

...of seats that are about to flip. This story is a News Corp hatchet job. He made this speech Tuesday:

[rodeodance]

19. hey, Aussie people- NOT NICE!

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Curtains.

* and the RNC are worried it'll be curtains for the their incumbents and other candidates for Congress.

[Hugin]

21. Isn't that comment more appropriate for Mark Foley (R - Rehab)?

Wouldn't he like to know.

[keta11]

22. Mission Accomplished, much???

[zbdent]

23. Actually, the Dems will have way too much work to do cleaning up the

mess that the repukes made ... before being concerned about "the drapes" ...

[hedgehog]

24. I don't think he realizes it's a metaphor.

He really does believe that Nancy is literally measuring the windows!

[HannibalBarca]

25. What an arrogant, hypocritical piece of s*it

Who was cocky when he said "bring it on" and "stay the course", "I'm sure of victory" etc.................

[Norquist Nemesis]

26. The old drapes have a stench of pork

I'd get rid of them too!

[Binka]

38. They Have The More Lingering Stench Of DEATH

Blood Soaked Death Of Our Kids. FUCK BUSH. Fucking Turd.

[Megahurtz]

27. "Protect the American People".

That one is really old. :eyes:

[rail]

42. Word!

His "protect the people" puffery is one of the most grating and condescending of his routine spiels (right up there with anyting involving "September the Eleventh"...is that like "Henry the Eighth"?). Geez, it's one step removed from saying "daddy knows best, don't worry now (...or dare question anything I do)." Considering his zero public track record on stopping any 'attack', why would anyone trust that bozo.
His job was meant to be defending the Constitution, not protecting the people, and he doesn't even live up to that Constitutionally-mandated duty (b'bye, 4th Amendment, in part). Plus, I thought a big (R)sehole mantra was about protecting themselves FROM the government.

Plus, "protection" by bush is just a tad less assuring than protection by Barney Fife...and only after Barney shot himself in the foot.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. Better they should be

heating the tar and plucking chickens for the feathers.

[Joe Chi Minh]

32. What else can he do? Point to his policies?

Ad hominems aren't even enough. They have to be pot/kettle ad hominems.

Unfortunately, they arrogated to themselves the patent rights on corruption, fraud, sexual perversions and promiscuity, the Big Lie, extortion, just plain criminality, so even claims of breaching patent rights in that context ring somewhat hollow, don't they.

[LiberalFighter]

33. Democrats don't need new drapes...

unless they are totally stained from the Republicans jacking off on them.


If Senators and Representatives are able to decide what color of drapes and other color coordinated furnishings for their office it should be put to a stop. Either one or two colors from the stockroom should be available. If they don't quite fit... tough! Each set of draperies and other furnishings should be dated. If they can last 20 years then it shouldn't be replaced for 20 years unless wear and tear is sufficient to justify replacement.

[samsingh]

34. better than couting coffins.

[hedgehog]

36. Can anybody source the interview referred to in the article?

"I'll have any suite I want" sounds a little over the top.

[superconnected]

37. I like how the article calls him "mr." bush and recognizes he's

not the president, throughout it.

As far as what mr. bush is saying, he's just going to have to get use to it. He's seeing the fashing tipping point start. Long blue drapes are in.

[DoYouEverWonder]

39. Too bad Pickles

got to all of them first.

[Ganja Ninja]

40. Is it too soon to measure the drapes for your cell Mr Bush?

Or would you prefer blinds instead.

[Jamastiene]

41. Yep, and we are calling in better chefs and ordering

books for the library as well. We know the country has had enough of this shit and we aren't gonna take it any more. I hate to drop an earworm, but it fits my feelings about Bush totally.

[greeneyedboy]

44. pathetic attempt to brand Dems with the word "cocky" (we all know who's arrogant)

and it's not the Democratic leadership.

[geniph]

45. I'd rather have the party in charge measuring drapes than counting the dead

[TheCowsCameHome]

46. Does he know about us building coffins for the GOP?

[classysassy]

48. The cocky vs the crooked

i'll take the cocky everytime over the crooked.

[Raine]

49. Fumigation

is what is going to be needed to clear the repuke stench out of the place. x(

52. getting ready to sweep for hundreds of bugs more likely

it's going to take a lot of work to secure those buildings again.

[bunny planet]

54. Where you're going Jr., they don't allow drapes.
