“That’s an insult to helmetted hypercephalics everywhere.”

Yeah, I know. I was way out of line, just t-totally wrong right there. And, I do apologize to that group for the misfortune of of my numbering Dippy43 among their ranks. I don’t equate hypercephalism to Bush dippiness. Furthermore, Bush is more the undeniable proof of what not wearing the required helmet can cause. After all, the helmetted have all voted for stem cell research that they might be cured. Again, though, I apologize, not wanting to offend anyone.

Back when they told us in school that anyone could be President of the United States of America, we all poopooed that as a myth. WE KNEW BETTER THAN THAT! We all knew that certain fundamental qualifications applied, like the ability to correctly pronounce the word NUCLEAR! We all just KNEW that the knucklehead who spent his 13th birthday in 5th grade eating his own boogers and flinging his own snot wasn’t going to get past National Security to see the Oval Office on the next DC field trip, let alone as a candidate for President. But, all that changed in 2K. I will just be darned if this esteemed member of the upper crustier ranks of unmittigated American idiocy didn’t make believers of the GLOBE. Junior emerged clumsily from the demented fray a foremost tyrant, a treacherous testament of the depths to which his derranged constituency was willing to plunge to exact its revenge for our humiliating belittlement of male cheerleaders everywhere. DumyaCo proved just what a contrary mean little twit can do when one’s Poppy has sufficient go’ment cheddar to sign that lease for prime Pennsylvania Avenue lodgings in DC.

I know. Iknow. I just did it agian. I should never dog all the apples for the disgusting rot visible on the otherwise perfectly wormy BFEE bushel. So, once again, I am indeed very sorry. To make things right, I do humbly apologize for any percieved mockery or ridicule to all those whom I have likened to this less-than-presidential pinhead. I mean absolutely positively neither hurt to the reputations nor damage to the characters of America’s non-offending dips, twits, pinheads, heels, 13year-old 5th grade booger eating snot-flingers, idiots, despotic tyrants, low-grade morons, certifiable retarded Republicans, neo-conniving weirdos, right wing human dildos, desperate jihadist incompetents, feebs, numbskulls, selfish thoughtless murderous pricks, derranged lunatics, subhuman primates, or other varying degrees of just plain old crazy Bushites. I am especially sorry for the harm I have caused to that myriad of Children who have been Left Behind, who have had their moms, the whole 1st-shift janitorial staff, the principal, two teachers, and the school shrink wrestle their big heads from the small holes in the backs of those relentless plastic chairs. Overtime pay for some unionized district hack to saw those stupid chairs from the heads of these precious little dumplings was never the intended purpose for that pitance of No Child Left Behind funding already remitted and spent by the 3rd week of the scholastic year. I should never ever make fun of educational funding waste, fraud, and abuses.

Alas, the American Presidency has been reduced to the sympathetic pageantry of circus of the Special Olympics, where every monumental event is a literal comedy of unplanned, potentially dangerous errors. Bush43 is a Gold Medal Champion, best renowned for cheating his way through two terms of unparalleled neolithic failure, a national disgrace. For that, I am sorriest for the United States of America!

This is in response to #71505, rage

I am glad you remembered what Daddy did, also when Jr. chocked on a pretzel, I was wondering if he had returned to drink, you know he does a lot of things at his ranch in Texas, as well as Chaney having a couple? of beers before he took a person for a fowl, whatever kind of bird they were shooting at, you know only in Texas can you bribe the Sheriff, kind of like all the good ole boys down there, it is no joke that local politics is corrupt, but now when the federal government is corrupt, like letting corporations police themselves, who is kidding whom?

I thought America had hit rock-bottom when Dumya41 puked on the Japanese Prime Minister in the middle of a state feast. Then came Bill and Monica, and that physically unattractive slew of chickenheads who were obviously pissed that ol’ Arkansas Slick had duped them onto their knees under his desk. But, now the nation is saddled with this brain-dead behemoth dunce who makes Forrest Gump look like a freaking genius. I’ll wager a cornbeef sandwich that Dumya43 is that same little pinhead who got his helmetted hypercephalic head stuck in the chair part of his desk during his second tour of 2nd grade in Special Education. We the People of this dreadful Nation need to scream much louder for impeachment and subsequent institutionalization before turning off Cheney’s pacemaker and appointing Nancy Pelozi as Presidential Czar.
