POLITICS: Bush Fights Epic Battle With Reality

Larry King, the world’s greatest interviewer, grilled President Bush on Thursday. It was the president’s 60th birthday and he celebrated by letting loose with a flurry of lies and bullshit. Larry King, of course, did not challenge the deluded man at all. Let’s take a look at some of The Divider’s musings.

Failed policies? Iraq, Social Security reform, national debt of 8.2 trillion, Medicare reform, North Korea, medical Insurance, Katrina, the environment, gas prices, are just a few of the many failures of Bush.

Bush predicted that Republicans would keep their majorities in the House and Senate,

Yes, and that is why 39% of Americans are less likely to vote for a candidate who supports Bush. By 54%-38%, voters say they'd vote for a Democratic over a Republican if the election were held today. Democrats lead by double digits over Republicans in four issues: Iraq, government corruption, the economy and health care. Bush's approval rating for handling the war in Iraq is 33%, while approval for his handling of terrorism remains below 50%. And 69% of Americans say, “Things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.”

Now babbling madly, Bush said if he had to make the same choice again, even knowing Saddam didn’t have WMD’s, he would invade Iraq!

Nice. And wrong, according to Charles A. Duelfer, the chief US weapons inspector in Iraq, who issued a 1000 page report showing Hussein was a diminished threat and did not possess or have plans to develop nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Oh, and Hussein and Bin Laden were enemies.

As far as North Korea and the recent missile tests, Bush is totally delusional.

How is that going? If you read newspapers, Mr. President, you would know that on Thursday Russia and China refused to back a Japanese resolution that would impose sanctions on North Korea for test-firing missiles. And North Korea’s missiles don’t scare Bush. First, because they just splashed into the ocean, and second because…

You mean the one that doesn’t work? Retired General Eugene Habiger, who was in charge of US Strategic Command said “A system is being deployed that doesn't have any credible capability."

As far as disasters, Bush said the government is

We’ve got better communications. Just savor that for a moment. Better communications. If only it was true. Gregory Kutz, managing director of special investigations for the Government Accountability Office, does not believe FEMA will be ready by June 1 to deal with post disaster financial problems should a major disaster strike. And a recent Department of Homeland Security report concluded that all 50 states and 75 major cities are not equipped to handle a natural or man-made disaster.

Bush also spoke about America’s scary boogeyman, Osama bin Laden.

Does persistence include shutting down the secret CIA unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden? The unit was broken up last year and the analysts were reassigned to other offices.

King made sure not to follow up on any of Bush’s ridiculous answers.

Great article.

Haha. Loving it. This is happened in the same world I live in. I find that amazing.

I just have to say OMG!!! Yah this man is delusional alright... not to mention a big fat liar. The thing that scares me worse is that the election system we have running now is really corrupt and I wouldnt be surprized if the republicans retained every seat they have now. I know what the polls say, but apparently our vote doesnt count.

I'm curious. Does Bush actually believe his own bullshit? Or does he just think that he can get all of us to believe it?

This is what happens when you don't use your right to vote .... goddammit !

The whole world is being run by a moron who is convinced that he's right !!!

he looks pretty good for 60

Wow, after an interview like that, who wouldnt vote republican?

*puts his head in the sand and hopes that when they come, they will use lube

Bush...... Fuckin jackass.

More Bush-whack. It's sad what the belief in a non-existant all-powerful being will do to your grip of right and wrong... whether you're a Bin-Laden, a Blair or a Bush.

I am amazed every time Bush opens his mouth...just when i think i am numb to him, he winks and opens his mouth again.

I was blown away just 2 days ago when the sweet and beautiful SadieMae posted this link in her blog. Be careful, your jaw may hit the floor watching.

Come, come children. He's 60. Let him think he's right...even if it's at the cost of the welfare and civil liberties of millions of people. After all, it's not like we live in a democracy.

Oh, wait.

Georgie........ what color is the sky in your world?

The scary answer is... both.

It wouldn't matter if you used your "right" to vote this past election or not. Bush was getting re-elected, no matter what. It's been documented how many votes went uncounted, not to mention the fact that the voting machines have aboslutely no paper trail or way of tracking who votes for whom (although they could with minimal effort). Add in a splash of a deciding state (Florida) being ran by Bush's brother, with both voting machine companies being ran by brothers (who are Bush supporters, and also employ felons in top positions), and there you go. Don't believe me? Here.

Yeah, this is actually an incredible video. I just saw it a couple of weeks ago. Now everyone else should too.

THIS is what happens when you fuck a country in the ass Georgie.....

Now if only the Democrats could present an alternative. So far all they've been able to agree on is that Bush is bad. That's criticism not a solution. As bad as this president may be, I'd give the democrats a D at best as effective opposition. For six years he has been able to get what he wants.

Maybe the interim election will turn the tide but let us not forget Tom Daschel botched his very short lived career as senate majority leader. Maybe we should be raising more hell with democrats if we want to see a change.

This may be so but I would respectfully ask you to consider that while "we lost because of conspiracy" is sort of comforting, we may have lost because our party was unable to deliver a message that resonated enough to get those last 3 million votes. I wrote a paper on 20 reasons that Kerry lost with the premise that each reason was significant enough to have lost him 150,000 votes but might have won him considerably more had it been handled differently. As I said in my last posting on this blog, "Bush is bad" is not a strategy for victory. We need to demand more of the opposition in the way of substance and hold them responsible for the loss in 2004.

His body is in immaculate shape for 60, he rides his bike all the time.
It's not like its just something he took up to get healthy or stop drinking, When he was a little kid he had no friends so he was a little terror who rode his bike around town alone all day at top speed.
I am sure it kept him away from his completely dysfunctional family as much as possible, until it got dark and he had to come home at night and be ignored by his parents.
When he was a little kid his sister died, and his parents didn't even have a funeral.
I bet it makes him feel child-like to ride his bike all the time.
I wonder if that's why he goes to bed so early, too.

The man has the creeping senility of Ronald Reagan, The paranoia and personal demons of Richard Nixon, and the obstinate arrogant nature of Barbara Bush.
*sigh*

And also her love of a good pearl necklace...

Ba-dum-bum.

Thanks folks! I'll be here all week. Tip the veal and try the waitress.

Hey-Oh!


Christ, Bush is just an endless well of jaw dropping statements. It appears there will never be a time when what he says cease to amaze/bemuse me. "Yes, our house is on fire, but we're saving money on the heating bill."

In Bush's little brain everything in this country is perfectly fine, and that is all that is needed to get that man by from day to day!

It's a shame there isn't another superpower out there hellbent on freeing up oppressed people from their tyrannical rules.

What? I'm just sayin', is all.
