Commander Cuckoo Bananas Speaks .........Caution ..... Head Exploder ...

[Botany]

"There is something healthy about people campaigning, saying, this is what I'm for. President ran on a peace platform. You know, maybe somebody will run on a war platform -- you know, vote for me, I promise violence. I don't think they're going to get elected, because I think Palestinian moms want their children to grow up in peace just like American moms want their children to grow up in peace. As a matter of fact, I think the people that campaign for peace will win."

I really hate that man ...... Does he really believe that crap he spews?
He can not be that dumb. :grr:

[SharonRB]

1. Oh, yes he can

And we've seen plenty of proof of it, Botany!

[Botany]

6. Sharon .....

I must go and do some work .... hard physical work .......

Does he even know what is coming out of his pie hole?

Honest to God it is time we surround the White House w/ body bags
(1650 of them) Maybe then he will get it.

[tnlefty]

10. Transfer Tubes, not body bags, remember? Body Bags sounds

too disturbing for the sheeple.

I think that this is a great idea, BTW. The sooner the better!

[SharonRB]

24. No, he'll never, ever get it

And if by some quirk he did, he'd never admit it. You know he never, ever changes his mind. He's the most stubborn, closed minded person on the face of the earth.

[SpiralHawk]

2. My head is exploding

Why, oh why, did I fail to head the header warning?

[mopaul]

3. the debate rages on...bush, dumbass or mad genius?

both

[DistressedAmerican]

4. Two Words For You DOUCHE And BAG!

[Mad_Dem_X]

5. LMAO at that graphic!

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

9. DA, that's laugh-out-loud funny! Thanks! nt

[Imagine My Surprise]

11. You made my day!

:)

[flakey_foont]

7. That boy just ain't right

he can't be reading that stuff off of a teleprompter or from notes....if he is,then he needs to hire speechwriters with at least a mandatory 6th grade education

[leftchick]

8. how can he believe it? it makes no fucking sense?!

He is beyond warped and evil.

:grr:

[Crankie Avalon]

12. My opinion would be he IS that dumb...

...he's just a frontman and surrogate for brainier but no less evil folks who run the freakshow from behind the scenes.

Chimp is the public face who is there to ingratiate himself with a dumbed down electorate who want someone of folksy demeanor and unthreatening intellect. For that part of the electorate, voting is an emotional process rather a rational one, where they choose the cartoon character they find the most endearing rather than a person who is the most competent. People like Cheney and Rove don't have that sort of warm and fuzzy charisma so they get Bush to be their mask, run in the popularity contest, and shelter Bush from unscripted interaction as best they can so that he doesn't get caught saying the sorts of things quoted in the OP.

Bush is simply like what Mickey Mouse is to the Disney Corporation...a logo, an icon, a face. He's there to smile, greet, and fill out the suit. He's not there to think.

[Tesla]

13. you were right!!!!

[Karenina]

14. *blithering blivet

is no more than a sockpuppet, true. It is ALSO true that those "brainier" *slimebuckets who installed him spout absolute mind-boggling NONSENSE. That nonsense is doing a LOT O' FOLKS grievous harm. Somebody tell me it's all just a bad dream...

[burythehatchet]

15. you're right in my opinion

the real motherfucker who walks around unscathed is Cheney.

[streblin]

16. well said

cheney is indeed the real motherfucker :mad:

[Patiod]

19. I forget who said it

I think Robin Williams -- "George Bush has about as muh to do with running this administration as the San Diego Chicken does running the Padres. Come on, he's just a big fuzzy mascot."

[AmBlue]

39. Yep, and they give him talking "words"...

...like "freedom," "terrorists," "hard work," because his peabrain can't retain talking points. And you are precisely right: It appeals to the "dumbed down electorate" cuz he looks like a dumbshit good ole boy. Just like them.

[spindoctor]

17. George W Bush - the peace candidate

Yes, I can see that.

[AwakeAtLast]

18. What an imbecile.

Would someone please keep him from speaking? On second thought, no, don't do that, because he needs more rope to hang himself. As the wife of a soldier heading to Iraq, this comment is a real blow to my husband, his fellow soldiers, and their families. I feel like I've been kicked in the gut! :grr:

[Turn CO Blue]

20. RANT: The temperature in my head just went up 10 degrees

Whenever that blithering burn-out attempts to speak, I feel the same cringing as when fingernails are scraped down a chalkboard! Aiiieee! I can't stand it! The intense puckering cringing such as when you taste something extremely bitter or sour also comes to mind as a good comparison.

I have now been conditioned (as in Pavlov's experiment)
to yell, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
whenever I see *, Cheney, or any one of the Unholy Cabinet members, any of the sanctimonious, sneering Repukes or any of their payola-backed assundry bullshit-spewing talking-heads on television -- even if I'm just flipping channels and the image barely flashes on the screen.


/rant
Whew!

[SharonRB]

25. LOL -- I do the same thing

Just ask my husband. As soon as one of them comes on the tube, I just yell, "Shut the fuck up already, you idiot." Mann Coulter elicits the same response.

[Turn CO Blue]

27. Yep. It's probably pretty common among Libs these days. n/t

[Virginian]

21. He read that?

I can't believe his speachwriters are that bad.

[Up2Late]

22. Thanks for this post, I heard this on NPR, but didn't know quite how...

...I should post it (didn't want to transcribe it myself). Fortunately, the folks at www.dubyaspeak.com do a great job with that.

Here's the NPR link, but a word of warning, hearing this out loud will make you brain hurt (I think it's the feeling of you brain cell committing suicide)

If you only have limited time, the quote is just past 3:00 in the clip.

White House Pledges $50 Million in Aid to Palestinians

To Listen to this story...click link above than click the button

by David Greene

All Things Considered, May 26, 2005 · Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meets with President Bush at the White House in a bid to bolster relations with the United States and advance the peace process with Israel. Abbas came away from the meeting with a U.S. pledge of $50 million in aid for the Palestinian Authority.

[SharonRB]

26. I wonder how my parents feel now

They voted for Blivet mainly, or only, because they thought he'd be better for Israel. I wonder how they feel with the Palestinians having another $50 million in their pockets.

[Up2Late]

36. Oh yeah, I forgot about that angle, are you a Sharon Government...

...supporter? I do support Israel, but I object to the notion so many Americans have that, in order to support Israel, you have to support Ariel Sharon, and his RW Government, which I oppose.

Is this stupid statement by * going over badly in Israel, right about now? I forgot about that part of the equation.:shrug:

[SharonRB]

40. To be honest, I personally don't follow the Israeli politics

that much, so I don't have much of an opinion. I haven't spoken to my parents, so I don't know how they feel about this latest development. All I know is I argued until I was blue in the face with my father about his voting for Bush because of Israel -- as if Kerry would have been bad for them. (And, note that he's always voted Democratic. It's not like he's a Republican at heart.) Adding to the issue is the fact that my brother and sister and their families live in Israel and they were voting for Bush. My brother and sister-in-law were here last week and we got into it a little. My argument was that they don't have to live daily under this damn administration and we do. It doesn't affect their daily lives the way it does ours. They just have no clue how bad it's gotten. They said we've never lived anywhere else and don't understand what it's like to live there. That's true, but I don't really think that Bush is helping them any more than Kerry would have.

Sorry for rambling on and on about this, but it really makes me nuts.

[Frederik]

23. "vote for me, I promise violence"

Worked for you, Dubya.

[geckosfeet]

28. Actually,,, he is dumber than this makes him seem,,,,,,,

[lectrobyte]

29. it would be funnier if...

there weren't other people who are paying the price for his bullshit.

[triguy46]

30. He is not very bright

The dim elected by and leading the dim.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. And he gives these idiotic speeches at college graduations.

There is some real irony in that. Fortunately the students are over sixteen, or it would be considered child abuse.

[triguy46]

32. Reminds me of Governor Ptomaine

in blazing saddles, but not as funny, he's as stupid, but not as funny.

[Javaman]

33. War is Peace. Why do you think the War dept is now the defense dept?

[atommom]

34. Where are the men in the white coats when you need 'em?

Honestly, I think the man is disintegrating right before our eyes.

[gordianot]

35. I heard this on NPR going home last night. I got home 10 minutes late.

He has no sense of irony and is a prime example of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Bush has become full blown Megalomaniac. I knew that before this statement it is absolute proof.

[bloom]

37. I think Commander Cuckoo Bananas knows what he's doing....

Knows what not to say. Understands the work of Luntz. Says what people want to hear.

They are all trained in it. Just like the Pentagon guys who know not to say anything that could imply the admission of guilt.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

38. KABOOM!!!

:nuke:


Egads... Next time I'll get the waders too... :D
