Something I've noticed about Chimpy, courtesy of TDS

[CatWoman]

Jon showed clips of Chimpy speaking before the audience in Kansas yesterday.

When confronted with a question about his bullshit policies (i.e., cuts in education grants), he immediately plays that "I'm sorry, I can't hear you" card.

I've seen him do that several times.

Yet when a Chimp worshipping moron tells him what a great president he is, he is all ears and his hearing problem goes completely away.

Also, I think Team Bush has borrowed some of their material from the Simpsons.

In "Two Cars in Every Garage, Three Eyes on Every Fish", Mr. Burns runs for governor. He has a photo op dinner with the Simpsons, and Lisa and Homer are given these supportive, praising "questions" to ask Burns during dinner.

Lisa: ``Mr. Burns: your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?''

1. Saw it, but did TDS debunk Bush's lie? No.

Bush said that there were not cuts to the program. That it had been made more efficient.

-

Dick Cheney cast the tie breaking vote to cut the program by $12B.

2. Ever see Richard Belzer do his Ronald Reagan walk?

Miming walking to Air Force One, putting hand to ear, pretending not to hear reporters' questions.

Belzer did it as more of a dance--very funny stuff.

I think bush may have been emulating ronnie.

4. If those were real "Town Hall" meetings....

At leat half the questions would elicit his "I can't hear you" response.

5. He did it twice that day....Both were critical questions

The second one asked when we were going to disarm our nukes.

I wonder if he wears an earpiece and needs some time to be fed a diplomatic and concise answer....something he's not known for.

6. I'm sorry I can't hear you is a cue to Karl Rove to whisper an answer in

his earpiece.
