3. This very thing has been joked about on DU!
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 12:52 AM by Kurovski
The voice of God Bush hears is actually Cheney.

Recommended.

this was the theme sometime in October of "04:

"...This leads us to conclude that when Mr. Bush said God told him to start a war in Iraq, It was not actually God, but Mr. Dick Cheney who whispered to George through the electronic prompter planted -- as is now common and uncontested knowledge--deeply into the ear canal of the president for this and a variety of other purposes, such as letting him know when dinner is ready."

7. As it is...
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 01:27 AM by Kurovski
it's already something of Bush's version of a DT sufferers "pink elephants"...kind of like an imaginary murdered dog. ;-)

At least Cheney's voice would ground it in reality.

Oh, hell, why be part of the grand charade? Bush knows full well the good lord ain't said a word directly to him.

God is way too busy warning Wetzelbill of the many politically motivated threats to the dog he doesn't have. Am I right?

9. just the mention of Howard Dean makes him pee himself....
or is it a her?

I still haven't figured out the details.

You know, the voice I hear does sound a little like Cheney. Hmmmm....

11. Uh-oh...you better keep that dog away from emergency rooms.
I thought your intention was to marry your dog per the "gay agenda"?
You don't know what sex it is? Wow, that's depravity heaped on godlessness.

Frist would give you some kind of award for excellence in liberal moral degeneracy.

Can I be your date for the ceremony if I dress like Jeff Gannon?

10. This part is DEAD ON
<snip>

For many, the revelation explains Bush's confusion in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

"I was very surprised by the president's slow response in New Orleans," political commentator Bill Kristol said. "The president told me that he was praying every day in his office, but had received no reply. I had no idea what he meant, but of course, it all makes sense now."

At the time of Katrina, Cheney was on a fly-fishing trip, from which he returned on Sept. 1.

Karl Rove had a bad case of kidney stones at the same time.

13. It's "CM", bill, not MSM.
The Corporate Media is only as "mainstream" as the freaky war-humping billionaires it daily fellates.

You--YOU Wetzelbill--are the mighty mainstream of America, dammit!

14. my mistake
Not that I would ever admit to making one.

On second thought, I would like to make a statement saying I did not make a mistake. :)

15. I merely took you "out of context." So it is my mistake.
But I would like to say for the record that if you hadn't put your spin on it, there would have been no mistake.

So it is your mistake. :-)

17. I work with a fundie dittohead
who actually thinks the Onion is legitimate (and proof of the Liberal Media). So I'm always sending articles from the Onion to him. But I heard his head explode when I sent him this one!

I love it.
