I think he's so right about this.

The coward

Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 04:41

It occurs to me that all this security, all these cops and soldiers and guns and fences, are not really to keep the terra'ists at bay, but to protect Bush from the citizens of his own country. His limo was pelted with fruit, and the Cheney limo got battered by snowballs. There were tens of thousands of people here to shout him down.

The battery on my machine is just about gone, so I am going to find someplace warm. It was a privilege to be here. Anyone despairing for their country can feel a sense of pride today. Whatever else happens from here on out, know that thousands of people of good conscience carried the flag today in fine style.

1. God bless the protesters!

They are true patriots. Did anyone see when that young white girl got hauled off by police during the coronation address? She was making a peace sign with both hands, she reminded me of JK during the seventies.
I think JK would definitely salute these protesters, don't you agree?

2. Yes

Actually, I think he was proud of them. He was with them in spirit, I think.

4. Here she is a credit to JK!

3. I was flipping through the MSM coverage of the inauguration

and ran across George Will and David Brooks commenting on the festivities - will said the military presence was overdone - it reminded him of a banana Republic inauguration and was hardly the sort of message the US, that bastion of Democracy, should be sending out to the rest of the world.

I was kind of shocked to hear two right wing pundits say that...

5. I thought that too--

He looks like a measly little coward with all that security. I'm glad people think he looked ridiculous.


The best moment was watching the procession go down the street, and hearing all the boos from the crowd--what a foreboding start to a second term. If only it would self-destruct, and fast.

6. Some of that is down right funny

I thought the part where he was talking about all the dumbass repukes from the south freezing their asses off and they better be glad it wasn't in Boston. LMAO A bunch of repuke wusses can't even handle a little snow or cold weather. And the part about these dumbasses questioning the protesters, like the one that asked the protester that had the sign * lied and soldiers died what * lied about. Damn are these damn repukes that damn stupid that they don't even know the answer to even something that damn simple? Or do they just refuse to take the damn blinders off? What a bunch of illiterate dumbasses!

And all the damn cops and security and fencing that is a damn joke. This evil bastard is scared of his own damn shadow. Damn oh mighty you would think we hired the damn armies of China and North Korea to attack the bastard. This bastard is the sorriest excuse of a man I have ever seen in my life. Hell I don't even call that a damn man. I call that a worthless piece of walking trash and a major turn off for any damn body that is of sound mind. Because what person in their right mind would ever want to get close to a worthless, uglier than sin, dumber than hell, illiterate dumbass that is scared of his own damn shadow and has proven to be so off the wall and unbalanced that the shit for brains idiot can't even chew bubble gum and walk at the same time. Their is no way anyone of sound mind would want near it hell the thoughts of it will give you nightmares.

7. Maybe that's why Laura is on Valium all the time

The only way any self-respecting, discerning woman could ever do it with him is if she's properly sedated.

Not that I'm saying Laura is overly self-respecting or discerning, but Shrubbie has to be repulsive even for her, especially now that he's scabby, strung out, and drunk half the time.

8. Isn't That The Damn Truth

And you can tell she is doped up all the time, hell all you have to do is look at her eyes. Her eyes are always real glassy looking and at times when they did interviews where you seen real close ups they were blood shot as hell alot of times as well. Remember that interview or ad they did at there ranch where he did all the talking and she sat there like she was in LaLa land and her eyes was blood shot as hell then.
