6. yup, exactly . . .
Do GWBush and Company really believe that the American public will all of a sudden accept this political move from-right-to-middle that its spewing of late?

S'mattah, Georgie, the poll numbers got you scared?

===================================
"I'm sure something will pop into my head." — GWBush,
when asked to name the biggest mistake he had made
since 9/11. Presidential press conference, Washington,
D.C., April 13, 2004.

"Mission Accomplished" - GWBush in military flight jumpsuit
aboard U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, May 1, 2003

"You're doin a superb job!" -- GWBush
referring to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's
abilities in Iraq during the first week of publicized
abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. military, U.S.
intelligence, and U.S. private contractors,
May 10, 2004, The Pentagon, Washington, D.C.
press conference, after cries that Rumsfeld
should resign (or be fired).
===================================

3. It's time for a more penitent humble chimp
Old debaters trick, get it all out in the open way in advance so it becomes a non issue later when it counts.

4. He's doing a preconvention information dump
Get all the bad news out before the Convention so the liberal media won't try to bring it up afterwards.

14. Next thing you know...
Shrub will "come out," sign the Kyoto accords, become a Buddhist, start driving a Prius, buy a pair of Birkenstocks, and move to Taos to open a pottery shop.

Ouch. My head hurts.

20. Breaking: Worthless Little Fuck In Deep Doo-Doo
Here we've had three years of the Boy King trumpeting his unwavering determination, a man who can't think of any mistakes he may have made. NOW, he gives a half-hour interview and says he "miscalculated" Iraq Nam?

There's only one reason that he'd appear less-than-resolute now: he's in trouble in the polls. Mind, this is a man who "pays no attention to polls and focus groups." Hell, he doesn't even read newspapers (because his lips move when he does so). The trouble has grown so LARGE that his handlers are shitting bricks/sweating BBs.

Now, the Chimp has to appear thoughtful. Yet another FLIP-FLOP. Pass the popcorn!

:evilgrin:

21. Global Warming.
He lied about being onboard with Kyoto during his campaign. As soon as he was selected, he changed his mind. TOO LATE for Boy King to pull this out of his ass. He's toast. HE'S A LIAR and everyone knows it.
