Am I the only person who finds this quote ironic?
"'This president has a real pattern of defying conventional wisdom,' says Mark McKinnon, media adviser for Bush's presidential campaigns."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20060103/ts_usatoday/bushenteringatoughtimefortwotermers;_ylt=ArWxaVlSSo_dmEEcaRRljqJg.3QA;_ylu=X3oDMTA4b3FrcXQ0BHNlYwMxNjkz

Well not only conventional, but any, it seems. Plus the Constitution, separation of powers, the U.N., our traditional allies, anyone who disagrees with him, long standing treaties and international conventions, etc.

1. Just take out the word "conventional"
and you'll have it pretty well.

4. Maybe not, but it was the best I could come up with besides
"a really fucking dumb thing to say."

Closest he came to having any was before they extracted those pesky teeth.

5. How else would you explain "brain damaged"?
That group has fine tuned the ability to turn anything around. They lie and then blame the dems. for going along with it. Like the dems voting for the Patriot Act only days after 9-11 (sorry for using the term) and as best I remember there were parts of it that was to be reviewed after 3 or 4 years. They are now reviewing and questioning their use. Good idea.

6. Bush has been liquored.....
......up the entire time he has been in office. Ronald Reagan had alzheimers a lot earlier than his people would ever admit, and Dubya has been high and drunk this entire time.

It is so obvious in his continually misspeaking.....trying to exit lock doors on an international stage....embarrassing his country overseas time and time again....not to mention his falling off the couch and hitting his head while "choking on a pretzel".....

7. Is that the same as saying he has no common sense?
