Bush* Blames Bad Economy On Cable News (bizarre)
just read this in Tom Tomorrow's blog at http://www.thismodernworld.com/

he answers a question on why the economy is so bad after his tax cuts:

"And then we had the drumbeat to war. Remember on our TV screens -- I'm not suggesting which network did this -- but it said, "March to War," every day from last summer until the spring -- "March to War, March to War." That's not a very conducive environment for people to take risk, when they hear, "March to War" all the time."

WHAT?!!!

1. Now that is ironic... they NEEDED that trumpeting from the media
to shift public sentiment that was decidedly against the war a year ago.

2. I heard that statement
and thought: Bush is either phenomenally cynical, or he really is a total moron.

5. skidding right off the runway
His handlers will throw a net over him and send him to Crawford for a month of intense drilling and rote memorization of sound bites.

7. More specifically, on Faux. Better than Clinton - although
I hear he tried the "Recession started in March 2000" lie again in that press conference. Is that true?

8. yup-- he sure does

" The stock market started to decline in March of 2000. Then the first quarter of 2001 was a recession. And then we got attacked in 9/11. And then corporate scandals started to bubble up to the surface, which created a -- a lack of confidence in the system."

11. bush's eternal war on life
Awol *IS* the eternal war president... bush=WAR WAR=BUSH... he talks of nothing else... he's smart to try to distance himself from his own skin, but that is gonna be a bit hard.

Come on you cowardly fuck dictator.... you've been at war with life because of yer daddy's big shadow, and now you're at war with all civility in all nations... duuh, and nobody wants to take big risks with a dickhead waving around nuclear weapons?

He's come unglued... we need all the kings horses and all the kings men... but he'll never be back together again.

12. Yup. Its that darn librul press and its "march to war"
If only Faux and CNN hadn't wanted the war Smirky wouldn't have had to invade Iraq. Its all their fault.

He didn't want to invade...honest.

THE PRESS MADE HIM DO IT!!!!

And now Iraq is a mess and the economy is screwed up.
Damn Librul Press.

/sarcasm
