not bury him.

If you didnt catch the Correspondents dinner last night you missed something really great.

First.. Bush killed. He was hilarous and the two Bushes routine was great.

Next came Colbert...
Amazing... the man has Balls the size of church bells. Cajones!

I have never seen a more edgy performance. The brilliant tension of the moment was an incredible spectale. The discomfort in the room was tangible... people to afraid to laugh and just watching this guy pound away. It was like watching a white man do racial jokes in Harlem, purposely, fearlessly, to make a point.

Check it out.

I think it's awe inspiring that we live in a country where the most powerful man in the world can be mocked to his face.

and by himself in many cases from what I saw, though he seemed to have more fun with Cheaney.

We had a really good time last night. As we left, I mentioned to one of my co-workers that Bush was really good ... and he said to me "it feels really dirty, doesn't it?"

It's more than likely that he wasn't absolutely sure what was happening.

Like when a dog chases its tail.

That guy has balls made of teflon.

Here's the two bushes. Not so great quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouHJuSbuTlo

Why can't people just realize, Bush is a man?
He's not the Anti-Christ, he doesn't walk on water. He's just a mediocre President placed in extraordinary circumstances.
Does he make mistakes? Sure.
Does he make the right decisions all the time? Not likely.
Could we have done better in having Al Gore or John Kerry as President? Doubtful. They probably would have made mistakes, and been called to task for them as well.
The grass is never greener, but hey, at least there is grass...

Some people don't like grass.

Some people don't like grass.

Then Starve.

:rolleyes:

I'm of a very firm belief that we would have done better with Al Gore or John Kerry. What they lacked in charisma they made up for in a very different belief structure from Bush. Bush went into office wanting to make war with Iraq regardless of the political circumstances of the time, he wished his troubles on himself. The attacks on September 11th simply were an easy way to force that upon the nation, not the catalyst that lead to the war.

Gore yes. Well maybe. Gore allowing himself to be controlled by his campaign management was a bad sign. I dont think Gore would have been any worse than Bush, at minimal standards. And we wouldnt be in Iraq right now.
At best Gore would have been a guy who spearheaded a national intiative to lessen our dependance on fossil fuels.

Kerry No.

Kerry would have been worse than Bush.

And, I am still of a firm belief that had Bush's campaign not pulled the racist card in their phone banks in the Carolina's, McCain would have been elected and all of this would have been moot.

If Iraq was to be invaded, you best believe the military would have run the show, and the news of the past three years would have a much different slant.

Dwight Eisenhower: "I Fear for this country when a man who does not know what I know about the military holds this office"

Kerry No.

Kerry would have been worse than Bush.

I'm curious. Do you think he would have broken or ignored more laws? Allowed Congress to engage in even more spending? Started an extra war or two?

Kerry was not the best of candidates by any means, but hypothetically worse than Bush? Curious about your reasoning there.

Both are pretty bad decision makers.

But at least Bush has a moral compass. He really WANTS to do the right thing. I get the feeling from Kerry that right and wrong are subjective concepts that merely fit into each catagory according to political expedience.
For Kerry to inherit the Iraq situation would have been a disaster. Iraq at this point is an endurance test. Like passing a kidney stone, just have to ride out the pain. Kerry doesnt posses the fortitude or moral conviction for it.

Well, I'd say that Bush really wants to do SOMEthing, and is willing to stick to that something to the bitter end. I'm not sure that that's the best quality when things down the shitter. What do you think Kerry would have done that would have made the Iraq situation worse?

Given Saddam a medal after capturing him?
Maybe a purple heart or 3?

:p

He's not the Anti-Christ, he doesn't walk on water

Since Christ walked on water doesnt his inability to make him the anti-christ?

Also, someone mentioned that bush basically sticks to his guns, that is admirable, except for when you are in the wrong and still stick to those guns.

Actually the Anti-christ is supposed to have all the powers that Christ does.
He just serves a different master. When he comes, he's supposed to convince people that he's the 2nd coming of Christ. Only the faithful will be able to see thru the lie.
Evil does not mean opposite.
Its admirable that Bush wants to see this thing thru, even though it appears they he was wrong about WMD.
If he were to cut and run now, the Jihadists wouldn't be just content to sit in Iraq and shoot thier AK-47s in the air in triumph.
I think you would see an emergence in Iraq, similar in Afghanistan after the Soviets pulled out.
You'd get another Taliban-like regime, complete with warlords, beheadings, and Radical Islam.
While it would be less painful in the short term to pull out, we will indeed pay a price, eventually.

I did not want to start a new thread for this, but had Comedy Central on while killing some goats in Qvic, and literally almost fell from my chair laughing at this line from a comedian, whose name I missed:

George Bush is not an idiot; he is merely intellectually celibate.

If two-thirds of America disapprove of the job Bush is doing, isn't that logically equivalent to two-thirds of America approving of the job he isn't doing? Think about it. I haven't!

It's like watching someone box a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor because your grandchildren won't know what a glacier is!

Ah, yes, the balls are big.
