Bush SUCKS! (Warning: stream of consciousness fear-based rant within)

[livius drusus]

He's horrible, awful, nails on a blackboard horrendous nightmarish violently viciously bad bad bad fucking bad. I swear to god I cannot believe my eyes with his suckery. I am seriously tied up in negative energy knot over how much I hate that man.

Kerry looks like fucking Aristotle compared to him. And the thing is, I know, I know, fucking hell I live in fear that the reviews will come out tomorrow and the mainstream press will be all "President Bush was handsome tall and proud. His intellect is truly astounding, his poise breathtaking, his rhetoric both fluid and hard-hitting. He is not, repeat, not a complete and utter fucking TWEAKER."

He has eyes like the Canadians in South Park. He can't speak English, only talking points. He snorts. He smirks. He splutters. "Of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. Of course I know that." Splutter, spit, drool.

They're going to soft-focus him, I know it. He's going to get away with it. People are going to keep talking as if he weren't brain damaged. I can barely stand it. My arms itch. I think I'm allergic to the President of the United States.

Oh god... The pauses... He's a fucking robot, I swear. His data stream is staticky.

Moolah. Instead of mullah. Moolah. With nukular in the same sentence. Twice. Santa Maria madre dei ora pro nobis pecatorium...

[Scotty]

I will make the debate available online for you. Just for you.

Plus, I think I will get the Daily Show followup.

Prepare to be amazed, again.

[Dingfod]

It's the low forehead and the fucking smart-ass smirk that irritate the shit out of me. I know lots of very nice people that can't speak very well, but they're not the p-resident of the huge knighted stakes.

If Bush is a robot, he's a shitty fucking robot. The mad scientist who built him should be run out of town by a crowd with torches and pitchforks.

[livius drusus]

Stop saying "multi-prong" like it's a big fucking deal that there is more than one fucking prong, you fucking idiot!

I know, I know. I was thinking the same thing, and trying to shut down some of my brain cells to try and hear it the way some of my neighbors will.

I, too, am afraid.

I wish I'd counted all the times he repeated the words "hard work", and others meant to pad his minutes. And all the NON-ANSWERS! And his little speech about the war widow "Missy". OMfuckingG :gag:

I hate him too.

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Is he throwing a little prayer in there!

[freemonkey]

phreliverasion.

[LadyShea]

My gawd. That man runs the free world. Theres a fun thread on II of all of our comments during the debate.

Hopefully everyone watched CSPAN with the split screen.

[Scotty]

Shoot, I didn't record CSPAN, I should have done that. Darn.
Oh well, I will get it available tomorrow sometime, just to get all of the proper terms recorded specifically for Liv.

Plus the Daily Show.

OMG, I just fell off my chair.

[LadyShea]

Scotty, CSPAN is going to show it again right away, now and later tonight as well.

[Scotty]

Cool, I will try to catch that copy too.
-Scott

[LadyShea]

The split screen really gave so much more depth to the thing, so much more information somehow.

[livius drusus]

The Daily Show is hilarious as always, and of course they're not looking to spin Bush's abysmal performance as manly or something. It's a great relief.

I dunno, I thought Bush kicked Kerry's ass handily in the debate. I despise Bush as much as the next person, but Bush simply trounced him.

Bush is gonna win, Kerry needed the debates to pull him ahead and he failed miserably.

Huh? For real?

Will someone let me know if they'll re-air that Daily Show segment?

[livius drusus]

Thankfully, even the usual suspect mainstream media whores are so far not seeing this victory you've seen, dantonac. I myself saw a borderline-retarded simian being called "Mr. President" between spastic bouts of words strung together like shiny little beads of puke, but as I keened above, I don't expect the rest of the country to see what I see.

Tomorrow at 7:00 EST on Comedy Central.

The derisive snorting laughter, 10-second pauses, mangled words, mangled names, sputtering, stammering, flushing, smirking and robotic repetitions didn't seem, I dunno, unpresidential to you?

[Goliath]

Lately I've been a bit afraid of November as well, but the debate has given me a bit of optimism. Of course Bush sounded like an idiot...he always does. But Kerry seemed to be less aloof and more to-the-point than usual. I think (and at least hope) that the public came away with a better idea as to what Kerry wants to do and why.

And also Kerry is taller than Bush (6'4" vs. 5'11", according to a newspaper article I glanced at earlier tonight), and there's a large correlation between the winners of presidential races and the taller candidates of presidential races.

If only correlation implied causation in this case......

[Scotty]

Missed the CSPAN thing, I will check again tomorrow.

I can't fathom Bush winning this debate, and I used to like Rudy Giuliani, but all of the things he was mis-quoting was just amazing. I should have been recording all of that crap so I could cut it in with the original debat.

Damn.

I will have the Daily Show online tomorrow for those that didn't catch it (oh, and Rudy should be on that mis-quoting or misunderstanding).

-Scott

[pzmyers]

The Daily Show had Rob Corddry giving the Republican position on the outcome of the debate.

"By not allowing himself to be reduced to tears, the president was a big winner tonight."

"A retarded man held his own against a sitting senator. You've gotta re-elect him!"

Stewart also gave good play to those freaky pauses Bush was making.

But Giuliani--jeez. He was desperate. Lying at a frantic pace.

[viscousmemories]

All you elitist bastards with your T.V.'s really burn my ass.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah, I almost wish I had a television, so I could watch it. (Okay, technically I do have a television, but I refuse to get cable, so I use it only for watching the occasional dvd.)

Judging from how Gore simply destroyed Bush in the 2000 debates, yet all the media outlets were practically falling over themselves to say how well Bush performed, I'm not looking forward to the reviews tomorrow. *Sigh*

Remember when Bush "looked into Putin's soul" and declared that he liked what he saw? Good gravy! I don't know what was more astonishing -- that he'd actually admit to forming his opinions of world leaders on such a basis, or that the American people didn't immediately demand his resignation.


On the other hand, maybe there's something to it:

"Hmm, a wannabe autocrat who 'won' the election under highly suspicious circumstances. Someone who's using the threat of terrorism (largely spurred by his own policies) to 'justify' giving himself more and more power. A guy who uses the excuse of 'national security' to stifle the democratic process and further tighten his grip on power. A guy who has nothing but contempt for the will of the people, but claims to have a 'popular mandate' to rule exactly as he sees fit. A guy who basically tells the rest of the civilized world to take a flying leap every time someone protests his arbitrary and thoughtless decisions. Someone who demonizes his opponents, and no matter how disastrous his policies turn out to be, is utterly incapable of admitting to having ever exercised bad judgment. He's definitely my kind of guy!"

Cheers,

Michael

That's cool, Michael. Thanks to Scotty, you can keep your principles and watch the debates.

So far, so good, I'm relieved to say. It looks like the overwhelming response is that Kerry won the day and Bush is a vapid shell of a human being. Okay, well, maybe not the latter in so many words, but that's just 'cause they're being polite.

Did anyone see cartoonist Aaron McGruder on CNN last night? I missed it, but from Salon's War Room:

While pundits on the left, right, and center agreed that John Kerry beat George Bush in the opening debate, none was more emphatic than “Boondocks” cartoonist Aaron McGruder. “Bush got his ass whupped,” McGruder told CNN’s Aaron Brown.

But the outspoken McGruder, who was relegated to “The Contrarian” segment of Brown’s news show, was not finished. “The elephant in the room” that no TV pontificators will dare acknowledge, he observed, is that Bush “is incredibly dumb...he can’t articulate, he can’t complete a full sentence, and he’s our president.”

Brown, being a member in good standing of the pontificator class, rushed to challenge McGruder, asserting that Bush was a man of strong beliefs, blah, blah, blah. But McGruder was unimpressed. Convictions don’t mean a thing if you’re just plain stupid, he pointed out.

And with that, Brown bade The Contrarian farewell.

That guy is dumber than dogshit.
