Is W really a rock star?
That's what Dana Millbanks of the WP thinks.
Let's see....
Can recite short sentences with emotion in front of selected fans...check.
When an ambivalent audience doesn't respond with adulation gets churlish...check.
When confronted directly, exhibits prima dona like anger...check.
When speaking off the cuff about complex subjects, such as selecting supreme court judges, is incomprehensible and exhibits speech patterns consistent with taking too many drugs and drinking too much alcohol....check.

Dana, your right, George Bush has the perfect personality to be a rock star! (Sorry, fellow citizens, he actually is the president).

Apologies to any rock stars out there!

5. Kind of an insult to all those lovely folks
who entertained last night on behalf of our country. But I take your, or Dana's, comment in the vein it was offered.

11. are there any rock stars with lips as thin as W's?
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 08:21 PM by Lisa
And the man has no sense of rhythm. He couldn't even fit into the "Spinal Tap" satire act, he dances so badly onstage.

I swear I'm not making this up:

"He was the head football cheerleader his senior year, a member of his class rock-and-roll band, the Torqueys – not singing or playing an instrument but clapping – and organizer of the school's stickball league."

12. Wow, that's the dumbest question I've heard in weeks.
Bush is a fucking limpdick coward. Rock star? Dana Milbank is betting on Bush, obviously, cause with idiotic statements like that he is flushing all his cred down the crapper. When Bush loses, Milbank goes down hard too.

15. He's as much a rock star as he is a cowboy.
In other words, not at all.

16. anyone can be a "rock star" when they only allow loyal supporters
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 08:55 PM by JI7
to be part of the crowd. Kerry not only allows, but encourages those who are not supporters to attend his events.
