Tonight on live television, President Bush will present his "clear plan" for Iraq. Clear plan? Hell at this point I don't think even Mahatma Gandhi would have a clear plan for Iraq.
While I'm intrigued to hear what our glorious leader will mumble tonight I'm really divided on his appearance. Will Bush appear before the world with his scabs in full view or try to play them down with a little help from the makeup department?
Also, the BBC asks if President Bush is "accident prone" with a short timeline of his accidents. I think the evidence speaks for itself.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
Holy Shit! Who let George shave himself?
I've at least gotta give him credit for mountain biking, that's not easy and I've been riding for 8 years.
We had 3 guys topple over handlebars this weekend in our 30 mile ride.
He may be accident prone, but when you're on a mountain bike, everyone is accident prone.
Hmmm, I've ridden nothing but a mountain bike since the early 80's and I don't think I've ever had a problem.
Greg for Prez-i-dent!
Riding a mountain bike is not the same as mountain biking. It's hard to say which one GW was doing.
Those are the kind of photos The National Enquirer edits to make the celebrity look horribly disfigured. Bush doesn't even need their help. Unbelievable.
This is a great website.
Wow, those raspberries on George's face are so symbolic of the US occupation in Iraq. To appear realistically (in the sense of our success in Iraq, and in the sense of George's bike injuries), Bush would have to appear without make-up. To show that he is ready to move on and to hide his wounds (our wounds as a country), he would use make-up.
Yeah, I should have clarified my last post:
When you're using a mountain bike for what it's intended purpose (cross country, downhill, general trail-riding), you're accident prone.
You don't hit too many upturned roots and loose rocks on city sidewalks, where's the fun in that?
First a pretzel, then a segway and now a bicycle.
We don't want to see him get hurt anymore so this is his last year in the limelight if we can help it.
clear plan = "asking the UN for help" a year and a half too late. as for the mountain biking, his handlers are blaming the rain, but according to news, it hasn't rained that much in crawford.
Its Mahatma Gandhi! All the jokes you crack on Bush, you would atleast get your spelling right! ;-)
My only defense is that I'm not the President of the United States. When I am, I'll spell everything right.
Back to the live press conference... why is the President behind a fence? Do they fear the war college will get rowdy and someone will try to perform a stage dive? Or is it possible Bush is going to tear off his suit and wrestle the Rock after his speech is given?
You would think someone had to have a “Clear Plan†before going to war with Iraq and Afghanistan. “ Fact†Clear Plan never sticks in Washington; too many heads, too many hands none working together. I sure have seen and heard enough so I will be eating my hamburger, fries and apple pie tonight while driving my Chevy. But I’ll be back to hear it from you guys.
Greg,
Hope you didn't take my comment too seriously. It was intended as a good-hearted rip.
I see that 'Gandhi' is misspelled as 'Ghandi' a lot in media. Thanks for correcting it.
I think you are right. A president should be held to higher standard.
Did anyone notice how much Bush mispronounced everything during his speech?
Mmmm rasberries
Phoat, when does Bush ever pronounce anything properly? I still would like to know why the President was fenced in.
How appropriate was it that he was speaking at the War College?
I forget now exactly what he said, but I believe that during the short time I was actually watching and listening, he made up a word or two. And I'm not talking about something like "strategery," I'm talking utter gibberish, like "buggroosh" or "flestubiddy" ...
He must have bit himself while shaving.
perhaps 'buggroosh' is 'bug rush'?
has the president been playing starcraft?
Bush fell off a bike. Kerry fell off a bike. Who says there's no real choice in this election?
They had him fenced in so that he can get used to the feeling cause after his presidency is up, he's going back to his old job as a lab monkey.
Why do monkeys always get a bad rap?
I almost feel like I want to watch this, but then I remember that I don't watch TV because I don't give a shit about what comes out of this tools mouth when somebody puts a quarter in his butt.
I should add for the needlessly analytical that "W" is not the only reason I don't watch TV...
nada y pues nada
As a conservative, it is great to see that the liberal's only reason for disliking the President is his pimples. If you think beauty is the factor for choosing a President, remember that Kerry had a botox and he still is ugly! :)
Ouch.
Yeah we're screwed either way.
See, I've always thought of Bush as a puppet, not a quarter-driven mechanism...
Will -
As a liberal, it is great to see that the conservatives still think in black and white terms like 'only'. The fact of the matter is there are many reasons I dislike this president, and at the risk of turning Greg's site into my own soapbox, I'll list a few:
Record surplus turned into record deficit
Tax cuts targeted at the top 1% of income earners
Reckless and arrogant foreign policy
Legislation designed to limit individual rights while relaxing corporate responsibility
Medicare
Iraq
Job losses
Rather than boring you with more, (if you're still reading this) why don't you tell us what he has done right for this country? Afghanistan doesn't count because they didn't finish the job. Next?
If you are a conservative in the traditional meaning of the term, you would be as appalled as the rest of us at what this president has done. Where is the fiscal responsibility? Where is the small government? You were lied to just as much as the rest of us.
