The date of that Clinton letter strikes a jarring memory in the life of WJC——methinks that was just BEFORE the Monica moment hit the country. No wonder he was distracted and very busy defending himself and the legacy he wanted.

“unaccountably pleased with his ignorance of the world”—classic.  You make my sad heart smile.

any way we could each get what we want…
the terrorists could go to heaven and get their virgins… the fundi-s could get armageddon and go talk to jesus… and the rest of us could have a good life

How does the philosophy that embraces the sanctity of human embryos also embrace shock and awe on kids and women and the hooking of testicles up to electrodes? Anybody know how that works?

To Jerry Alexander—You need to retake your high school government class. Pay particular attention to the lesson on the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution about “firing” the president. The president is an elected official who, after being elected, serves for 4 years (if I’m going too fast, just stop me). At the end of that 4 years he may seek another term, at which time the voters get to decide if they want him back for another 4 years. In the case of Pres. Bush, the man was fairly and constitutionally elected by the people in 2000. After enduring 4 years of relentless, deceitful harrassment from the left wing bananas of the Democrat Party, and their willing accomplices in the main stream media, Pres. Bush was reelected (rehired) by nearly 63 million Americans to continue the job we originally elected him to do. We won, you lost. You will continue to lose if you insist on clinging to the secular progressive, anti-American agenda that the modern Democrat looney toons seem oh so enamored with.

“Rooth” makes a great argument in this blog that Bush has obviously and seriously deteriorated mentally, perhaps due to drugs and alcohol. To see a great (and scary) video demonstration of this fact, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4Bhmm22xo&mode=related&search=Bush

Yes John you are right, “God loves morally challenged and intelligence deficient people.  After all, he made so many of them.” This also includes those on the right, like you, which are, of course, Facists! John, one thing, I’m not on the “Left”. But you wouldn’t know that, would you. But I do know, by your very comment, your are on the Right. Live what you are, be your true colour. That is what you people only know.

The Democrats are still dreaming about a “Philosopher King” with “Kennedy” hair, and the return of “Camelot.” It is only a fantasy. Unfortunately the last Rhodes Scholar they had in the White House will most likely be remembered by History more for what he left on the front of a White House intern’s dress, than for anything else. And they complain about Bush. For shame! Bush has the right idea. In southern Lebanon, you cannot even get elected dog-catcher unless you absolutely “hate” Israel. In fact, you have to hate Israel more than your political opponent just to be in the running. That’s the “real-politick” of the Middle East, and until that fact changes, nothing else will.  The last man to try to change that, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, ended up brutally murdered. Rough neighborhood.  Clearly, the “two sides” sitting down and talking has not helped much, sad to say. I wonder what the reaction will be on the far “Left” when Hezbollah activates its “sleeper cells” in the U.S. and takes revenge. No doubt, that will be George Bush’s fault too. Pity.

I won’t directly address the Bush cheerleaders here & elsewhere (“heck of a job, stoned, babbling, orangutan-faced frat boy, heck of a job!!”).
They have clearly lost their minds.

If Bush beats his own excrement at his next press conference, they will wax indignant at anyone who finds it the least bit out of the ordinary.

Having spent the last dozen years in Europe, I am in a position to tell the you what this continent thinks of Bush.

It’s really very simple:
They believe that a nation which allows such a bizzaroid freak to act as its leader does not take itself seriously.
And that’s it doesn’t much care about its own survival.

Mark Basnight is one of bushes lap dog`s and he is taking advantage of the,not so low cost,of “Illegal Aliens” and lying to the people of Dare county and the rest of NC.
How does he profit from these “Illegals”?
Why is he trying to “Burry” the Immigration Bills even without discussion?...I think he works for us…...Right! If so,let`s fire him,we hired him didn`t we?So we should be able to “FIRE HIM”.
Americans are becoming the The “Most Stupid People” in the world and I think “Greed” has led them there.
I can`t wait to hear someone tell “bush” to,Shut UP Dumb ass.

Remember Reagan cut and run from Lebanon to save us from Grenada.

This will come a a great big surprise to all of you wacky liberals, but Pres. Bush is not an embarrassment to most Americans, insofar as he has conducted himself in the war on terror. Why shouldn’t he give Kofi a kick in the ass to get him to help rally international support against Islamofacism? The rest of the world, including Kofi the Corrupt, has been asleep at the switch while Islamic terrorists continue to grow in strength. George Bush and Tony Blair have been the only prominent world leaders to take a strong and consistent stand against these monsters. Liberalism is a cancer that destroys a person’s ability to tell truth from fiction, so I’m not surprised at the reaction of all of you left wing bananas to Bush’s statements. I can say that I’m glad Bush has the courage to ignore the treasonous rantings from the left as he continues to faithfully carry out his duties as our duly elected Commander-In-Chief.

Believe it or not, Bush is NOT the biggest threat to America.
Our biggest threat is the mainstream media, which went into hibernation the day Bush was handed the White House. The U.S. mainstream media has snoozed through the biggest stories of our time, like the Downing Street Memo.
(Yes: the same MSM that gave us 18 months of 24/7 saturation coverage of Monica Lewinsky).
Our media doesn’t investigate this president, it covers for him.

Ah, the wisdom of the Left.  Reading these columns truly makes me believe that God loves morally challenged and intelligence deficient people.  After all, he made so many of them. 

Such as Miguel, who says in #14254 “He (Bush)failed the American people who suffered after Katrina.”  Funny how he fails to mention any responsibility born by the elected Democratic leaders of New Orleans or Louisiana, and their complete lack of planning for evacuation.  Expecting the national government to do everything for the common citizen is called “Communism.” 

Then there is Comment #14309 by Avenging Angel, who says of Bush “I wish he would do the only honorable thing and kill himself.  He’s obviously hitting the bottle again and hitting it hard.”  I’m wondering if she supported Bill Clinton while he lied to the grand jury and introduced anyone old enough to watch the evening news to what did and didn’t constitute sex.  I guess the Left is happy that he was shooting his pocket rocket into whatever target he could find as opposed to actually being serious about his job and protecting this country.  I can’t seem to find any articles in the news about the Bush administration renting out bedrooms in the White House or selling the president’s presence at morning coffee for campaign contributions…...

As for the Middle East, Bill O’Reilly summed it up pretty well when he said “If all the terroist groups in the Middle East throw their weapons into the sea, you will have peace.  If the Israelis throw all of their weapons into the sea, you will have another Holocaust.”

Did you forget?  Truth= Falsehood; Freedom= Bondage; Democracy= Diebold.

Bush - Stoned? Drunk? Coked out of his Brain? Medicated? Presidential Tester for the Pharmaceutical Industry? You Decide….......

Bush is fried. He’s either drinking, snorting, smoking, medicated, or some combination of all of them.

Watch his gibberish at the G8, especially the bizarre stuff about how long the plane flights to various countries are, he sounds just like someone who is more than half looped: “Gotta go home. Gotta do sumthin tonight. Get ona plane. Go home. It’s a long flight. How long is your flight? That’s a long flight. Your country is big. His country is big too. Gotta go home. Yo, Blair, you goin’ home?”

This is the kind of mindless drivel that drunks who can’t shut up drone on with. They just keep running their mouths, totally disconnected from the non-verbal clues of the people around them.

Watch the press conference where Bush couldn’t stop talking about the pig roast. It didn’t matter what anyone asked him, he just kept saying whatever his addled brain was looping on, in this case, eatin’ him some pig. Typical stoned behavior. It reminded me of the time Bush went to Canada and couldn’t get off the subject of the mouth one of the Canadian Prime Minister’s staff members: “You’ve got a purty mouth.”, he said. Not once but over and over. “You’ve sure got a purty mouth.” And, “Your mouth is prettier than my Scott’s mouth.” (The poor guy’s name was Scott. Bush’s “Scott” was press secretary Scott McClellen.)  Am I missing something here?  Which staff member has the purttiest mouth? Who acts like this? Outside of bars or institutions, I mean.

Watch Bush’s body language at the table with Britain’s Tony Blair talking over his shoulder. Bush is sitting, almost slouched back in his chair, like a guy at a barbeque on his second or third 6-pack, chomping on his food with his mouth open, making minimal effort to intelligently keep up his end of the conversation by occasionally throwing in something he mistakenly thinks is sufficient to constitute a dialogue. What seems to be obsequiousness from Blair may actually be him simply trying to get through the fog around Bush’s brain to penetrate with a little reality.

Watch the body language of the other leaders and the way they react to Bush. With the exception of Blair, notice how they act very distant and controlled around him, maintaining a public facade of geniality while holding back from actually being engaged with him. Some of them, Like German Chancellor Merkel, look as if they are barely tolerating him. Meanwhile, Bush’s social modus operandi with other world leaders seems to boil down to his overuse of forced jocularity and feigned intimacy to convey a relationship that does not exist.

Is there any world leader who addresses Bush with back-slapping and condescending nicknames?

When he walked up behind the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and started giving her an unsolicited shoulder massage, her body tightened up and she actually grimaced and literally shrugged him off. Before that Bush can be seen wandering aimlessly around the room while the rest of the grown-ups were conducting the business they were there for. He didn’t even notice Merkel’s reaction to him, he had already moved on, the elitist, aging, ex-frat boy, circulating the party with his buzz on, completely oblivious, smug with satisfaction at just how cool he knows he is.

This is not normal behavior in a 60 year old man, especially one in this kind of position.

A sure sign of substance abuse is extreme variations in the abuser’s ability to perform normal functions, relate to others, and cope under stress.  Bush’s behavior and ability to speak coherently varies radically in his unscripted appearances. Watch Bush closely sometime when he’s having trouble staying coherent and you can see his eyes come in and out of focus. He does it at the table when Blair is speaking to him and he’s looking out across the room as he chomps open-mouthed on his food. Although he is never a good public speaker, sometimes he’s at least coherent, other times he looks like staying focused long enough to get a sentence out is almost painfully beyond him. These are the times he does those odd prolonged pauses where he searches for words, mangles phrases and seems to get mean-drunk angry when anyone dares to question him.

And then there are the times when he is just off-the-wall bizarre.

What I saw in the table-side exchange between Blair and Bush was this: Bush’s posture, lax facial muscles, garrulous, sophmoric speech, and, yes, the mindless way he shoved food in his mouth and chomped with his mouth open, plus what he said, all gave the distinct appearance of someone under the infuence of something. Blair’s tone with Bush is concilliatory and patient, he leans over Bush and seems to be attempting to get through to Bush in spite of the state he is in. He seems to be trying to guide Bush’s thoughts, while Bush chomps away and fades in and out of focus.

I’ll say it again; the man is stoned or medicated. And has been for awhile.

This goes a long way to explaining how he is so incredibly disengaged from the devastating effects of the damage he is responsible for; he is too far out of it to relate to the human costs of his actions. Drunks and addicts are largely incapable of empathy, everything is about them and their next high. They are never responsible for the harm they do. Nothing is ever their fault. They are always the victims. Bush doesn’t ever think he’s done anything wrong.

This also explains how he can be so unaware of everything going on around him, i.e., his job. When Cheney shot that old man in the face, days later Bush acted as if he had just found out. Same with New Orleans, it was obviously days after Hurricane Katrina struck before it even entered his consciousness, and that was only because a staff member finally screwed up enough courage to make a DVD of newsreports and make Bush to watch it.

Think about that for a minute, the president makes so little effort to know anything, even about major disasters, that it took days before a staff member finally got up the nerve to make him wake up to the fact that an American city lay in ruins.

How is that possible? Bush knew the hurricane was coming, he was warned that it could, probably would, devastate the city, reporters follow him everywhere and they certainly knew what was goiing on. His staff knew. So how is it possible that Bush did not know the severity of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina? This is how: by establishing a practice of refusing to participate in the events around him, and enforcing that practice by punishing anyone who disrupts his carefully controlled world view, that’s how. Bush is notorious for becoming furious at anyone who brings him news at odds with what he wants to know. People around drunks and addicts learn very quickly to avoid aggravating them when they are altered.

When Bush stood amidst the ruins of New Orleans with bodies lying dead in the flood waters just a few streets away, his response was to reminisce about partying there. When faced with death and destruction that he did nothing to stop, Bush’s brain looped back to being high, partying in New Orleans. Instead of death, he thought about the pleasure of partying and left all the depressing stuff for others to deal with.

It’s now a year later, Bush just went through a European diplomatic trip smashed and stupid, and New Orleans is still in ruins. I bet he doesn’t even think about it anymore. (Just like Osama, he doesn’t think about him anymore either.) If someone brought New Orleans up to Bush now, I bet he’d be surprised that it’s still in ruins.

There are bizarre internet rumors of a personal portable toilet for Bush to use when overseas. The rumor is that this is to prevent foreign chemical analysis of his excrement. http://www.rense.com/general72/fexc.htm . Normally I would blow this off as some of the wilder of conspiracy theories, but watching Bush’s actions over the last week, I can’t help but wonder, to what lengths would those around him go to hide it if he is smashed most of the time? If he is too incapacitated to serve? Who could or would step up and do anything about it? The people around him are not people willing to part with the power they have granted themselves. These are also not people willing to admit that their golden boy is a dangerous, sick failure.

With Bush at the top of the chain and out of the loop, or just plain looped, who is holding anybody below him accountable?

IT only takes three letters to describe the Emperor
ASS

The Neanderthal Bush is a Grand Monument to GOP Arrogance, Greed and sheer Stupidity. However, on the bright side, he didn’t strike that German woman over the head with a club and drag her into a cave.

With immense sadness and embarrassment our current U.S. President, George W. Bush, anointed ‘King’ by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000, is a non-fiction in real time & space illustration of the Hans Christian Andersen fictional ‘Emperor with No Cloths’. In truth, reality often trumps fiction in presenting what happens when incompentence wanders out of the shallow end of the pool in Texas into the deep water of national & global affairs. It is hard not to wonder how the current ‘zeitgeist’ of our nation and the international community would be more humane, if Al Gore was president. Rod Reeves

I think that both sides of this conflict should talk, I believe that Israel has a right to defent itself, after all the terriorists started this thing.  I realize this is more than prisinors, but most of the governments in the middle east just do not want the people of Israel in the region, no matter what Israel gives up will never be enough, people have to remember when two countries go to war, whoever wins the war gains territory, but these losers want it both ways, they want to wage war, and if they lose, they just will not acknowledge that they can not win an out and out war, so they do what losers do best, they make even their own people suffer, and then they cry when they get some of their own medicine.

Marge, Portland Oregon

Mr Sheer was doing great until he got to this last paragraph:

“Instead of creating a malleable U.S.-Israel ally, the overthrow of the secular Sunni leader Saddam Hussein has extended a fiery arc of Shiite-dominated religious fanaticism blazing across the Mideast skyline that betrays Bush’s claim to be bringing democracy and stability to the region.”

He is correct that Bush’s claim to “bringing democracy” is a hoax, but it has nothing to do with a so-called “fiery arc of Shiite-dominated religious fanaticism.”  This latest media slogan of a “fiery Shiite arc” is really just another anti-Muslim code phrase.  What about the “fiery arc” of US agression from Afganistan through Iraq and anchored in the US client state Israel?

Virtually every instance of so-called Shiite religious fanaticism in the Middle East is a direct response to one or another US aggressive intervention or US ignorance and refusal to deal fairly and honorably with the people and their issues.

Shiites and Sunnis have a centuries long history of internecine conflict and that as such has nothing to do with the USA. But since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, every US administration has worked to play that conflict into the hands of US advantage instead of working to help the people find honest ways to develop their democratic principles.

So what was so off-putting about Ol Georgie’s deportment?  Didn’t ya see the “What, Me Worry?” smirk planted across his already senile-looking face? His complete lack of class triumphed as he stuffed the bread into his self-righteous puss while continuing his drooling spiel to Blair who, always at the ready,  cautiously positioned himself away from the possible flying chewies.  Poor Angela, Germany’s lady who just might help restore some feminine sanity regarding this planet’s horrific continuous warfare, probably wanted to give Laura a good smackdown for taking that rabid critter out in public sans leash and MEDS. Golda Meier woulda kicked him in the balls for that neck rubbing obscenity, let alone salivating over eating PIG and talking with his mouth full!!I don’t know what to say.  How the eff will Rove sell this embarrassment? No one’s that much of a freakin genius!  Any Democrat who does not have a ‘talking point’ with all the ammo this prick has silver-plattered them, deserves distinction.

We all know the only way to get a prez impeached these days - I have to echo that bumper sticker here: Will someone PLEASE give this guy a BJ so we can impeach him?!

Seems to me that George has gotten tired of playing like he’s President. Fortunately, it’s almost August and he can spend a month in Crawford playing like he’s a rancher.

Thanks to Mr. Scheer for scrubbing out Little Boy Blue Georgie’s potty mouth with a big bar of industrial-strength soap.

The Bush administration has become a nonstop three-ring freakshow. Despite strong competition from fellow shit-talkin’ mutants (especially Dicky “Go fuck yourself” Cheney), Dubya’s hunchbacked little id still gets top billing for sheer unbridled grotesquerie. Every time the Prez opens his mouth now, we wait in breathless anticipation for whatever monstrously deformed weirdness will come hulking forth to make women in the audience scream and grown men faint. It’s the Ringling Brothers staged as Grand Guignol.

No other president has ever spent to much time and effort in refusing to grow up. Bush has always been a child at heart—-and at head. But it’s not like he’s a case of arrested development.  He’s developing, all right—-in reverse.

The goo-goo gah-gah infantislism of his latest remarks about how weely, weely B-I-I-I-G China and Russia are indicates he’s regressing toward some truly primal state of being. I fully expect his final years at 1600 Pennsylvania Av. to be conducted not from the Oval Office but from some high-tech incubator, with Uncle Carl and Daddy Dick patiently wiping Georgie-poo’s little bum after he’s managed to soil the Constitution yet one more time.

As someone who’s worked as a psychiatric nurse, I can at least offer anecdotal verification that, per Dr. Price and Ms. Magginkat (Comment # 14282), George W. does indeed exhibit many of the classic symptoms of presenile dementia: the impaired thought processes, the inappropriate if not outright offensive remarks accompanied by the equally inappropriate/offensive behavior (nice backrub for that German lady!),etc.

This behavior was in evidence even before Bush was selected to high office. Note the emerging pathology in Tucker Carlson’s infamous interview from 1999, where Good Christian George is asked if he’d conferred with any of those opposed to the execution of his twice-born co-religionist Karla Faye Tucker:
“Bush whips around and stares at me. ‘No, I didn’t meet with any of them,’ he snaps, as though I’ve just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. ‘I didn’t meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with [Tucker], though. He asked her real difficult questions, like ‘What would you say to Governor Bush?’”

“‘What was her answer?’ I wonder.”

“‘Please,’ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.’”

“I must look shocked—ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel, even for someone as militantly anticrime as Bush—because he immediately stops smirking.”

As we now know, the beguiling smirk was only on hiatus. Meantime, the strange words and deeds have only grown stranger.

Surely it would be in bad taste to speculate on the precise etiology of this condition. Unlike Dr. Frisk in the Schiavo case, I think long-distance diagnoses are inappropriate.

Likewise it would surely be in bad to taste to suggest that Bush’s brain at this point probably resembles a mold-encrusted lump of Swiss cheese.

Or to suggest that it’s only matter of time before Laura will be paying her devoted visits to that locked ward where George will be head-butting all those other aged ex-fratboys whose golden years have turned into an eternal Miller Time of drooling half-memories of long-gone glory days.

All I can say is that booze and blow are indeed cruel mistreses, and even long after they’ve been dumped for slimmer, younger playmates, they have a way of exacting their very nasty revenge.

Thanks for telling the truth. Dubya is an embarrassment to all Americans. At least he is to this American.

ok, I am not trying to be negative here BUT
we all need to realize something ( a few things)
Voting does NOT make a difference any more
Protesting does not make a difference any more
Petitions do not make a difference anymore.
Bush & Co. are going to do whatever they want.
These people do not care about you OR anyone else.
they only care about lining thier pockets with OUR taxpayer money and the money they are raking in from thier oil revenues. This has been made painfully obvious to all of us. and no amount of “talking” is going to change that fact.
We ALL need to wake the hell up here.
If i dont do my job I will get fired.
why is this guy still in office????
why are any of them still in office???
This is/ was supposed to be a Govt
OF the PEOPLE
BY the People
FOR the PEOPLE…..... remember?
WE are the people.
we have Taxation without representation.
remember the last time that happened?????
think about this.
remember all the sacrifices that have been made and are still being made to keep this country “free”
we are not free right now. that is an Illusion.
keep fighting the good fight peeps.
remember who you are
remember where you come from.
and just for the record I do have an Idea of what to do and it is not violent. but I cannot put it here I am sorry.
there is a hint in this comment tho.
Taxation without representation?????
think about it.
and know this
when injustice becomes law
resistance becomes duty.

The depth of Dubyas ignorance and arrogance seems to be bottomless. Just when you are certain its effects cant get any worse, you pick up a newspaper and there it is, almost weekly, its worse! I only hope for the democrats to win in November and investigate the administrations deceptions. Congressional investigations that are followed by indictments, all the way to the top.

Please pardon the pedantic prig in me; I could not help noticing.  Your deliciously sardonic piece about the gaping holes in Bush’s geopolitical knowledge included, ironically, a little hint about an ignorance of your own. You used “disinterested” as a synonym for “just not that into it”, and that is, I’m afraid, not quite right.  I’ll bet you actually know that “disinterested” mainly means unbiased due to having no personal stake in the outcome (e.g. a disinterested third party). 

The right idea would have been better served by “uninterested”, I think.  Admittedly, “uninterested” has slightly less of the disdainful tone you were going for.  Perhaps there is a better synonym for “couldn’t care less” that really captures the sort of cocky dumbness George W. Bush seems to revel in. 

I suppose it’s possible that Bush’s developmentally disabled diplomacy is in fact disinterested, but if so, it is purely by accident. I do think many, me included, will agree with your point: that he just isn’t that into figuring things out. 

What saddens and alarms me about all this is that his supporters never, even privately, decry his failure to grasp the painfully obvious. Instead, they champion his stupidity like some sort of American virtue, akin to Shaker-like simplicity or childlike faith.  George W. Bush’s lapses are not charming in any way.  They are, in fact, deadly dangerous and hopelessly compound the mess already achieved by repeated reference to his finger-painted map of the world.

Wonderful article Mr. Scheer. Thank you.
Every morning when I turn on the news, and see the horror in Iraq (caused solely by an incompetent, ignorant man, who this country elected president), and now the war in the Middle East, I say “I DON’T CARE ANYMORE”. However, that isn’t true, I DO CARE.
But, where is the outrage in America? I certainly don’t hear it. The news media in this country are bored with the war in Iraq; rarely is it reported on.
It seems like we go on with our daily lives, totally unconcerned. Why? When I talk with others, all they seem to be concerned about is the price of a gallon of gas? It makes me want to scream!!!
I am crying in America today. It is so sad.

Didn’t anybody notice that George the Dictator said he felt like giving UN General Secretary Kofi Anin the following order?
“I felt like telling Kofi to get on the phone with [Syrian leader Bashir] Assad and make something happen.”

That’s King George, the absolute monarch.  Get on the phone the the head of the UN and order him to fix it.  How, of course, George has no idea.  But that’s Kofi’s problem—to figure out what “something” is.

Kiss our beloved democracy goodbye. It’s been sunken under us by the GOP while the Democrats argued about how to arrange the deck chairs.

I have to give Bush credit for one thing on his “open mike night” gaffe. His private remarks, while blunt, are no more sinister than his public ones on this matter (how could they be?) I was mainly embarassed as an American to see our leader in front of other world leaders; 1) talk with his mouth full 2)interrupt Blair to do it and 3)throw the word “irony” around without knowing what it means. All of this was the icing on the cake of his empty mid-east policy.

Sure Bush is a disaster, but worse, if you can believe it, is the large portion of the American public that keeps him and his corrupt confederates in Congress and morally bankrupt hacks in the media in power.  Hitler was once just another nut case ranting and raving in Vienna until he got a bunch of thugs and eventually German corporations and a majority of the German people to go along with him.

Another Bush blunder! The Republican party must be so proud of their “commander in chef.” “W” is such an embarrassment to our nation. The open mike simply revealed how “W” feels about the Middle East crisis. “W” tries to pretend that our nation is neutral, when he really wants Israel to pound the s*it out of Lebanon. “W” simply demonstrated his diplomatic skills that he learned while obtaining C grades at Yale.

Perhaps GOD has stopped talking to him because God realizes that “W” is not all there after all those years of cocaine and alcohol abuse.

dubya is an embarrassment to ALL Americans.

OMFG, this is beyond appalling.

Bush continues to be the #1 source of embarrassment and humiliation for all Americans. 

I wish he would do the only honorable thing and kill himself.  He’s obviously hitting the bottle again and hitting it hard.

I, sometimes ask myself that who is really the President of the United States. Bush or Cheney or “booze” ? Just forget about who they are and what they are but after almost their terms will come to an end pretty soon but we are still survived and that means we are very lucky. I hope our forthcoming President must be more educated and cleaver than King George !

The one line that resonates above all others is the one that describes GW,,‘his profound ignorance is appalling’.

What a mess has this man and this administration has gotten us into….

I really hope his supporters are happy and fulfilled.

Bush takes office when the other guy got more votes and babbles about democracy, tortures at a concentration camp in Cuba and holds citizens without trial while speechifying about liberty and justice. Embarrassing the country at a world meeting by cursing with his mouth full is minor. The ONLY way to regain the RESPECT of the world and SAVE our Republic from his executive takeover is to impeach this idiot immediately.

Thank you Mr. Sheer for continuing to report the truth.  I only wish every citizen of this country could read what you write.

Someone sent me a link yesterday that scares the hell out of me.  It compares George Bush’s speeches in 1994 when he was running for governor of Texas to speeches in 2004.  I don’t believe for a minute that Bush has quit drinking and this film seems to comfirm that.  Not only that but it shows that something is seriously wrong with George Bush.  This man should not be anywhere near the nuclear button.  And sadly Dick Cheney may be worse in some ways because that man is just plain mean, conniving & deceitful.

Dr. Joseph Price, The Atlantic, Oct 2004, wrote

Slowly developing cognitive deficits as demonstrated so clearly by Bush can represent only one diagnosis and that is presenile dementia. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4Bhmm22xo&mode=related&search;=
“Whatever the reason, whatever the diagnosis, even when he is rehearsed and prepared George Bush has problems he did not have 10 (12) years ago in 1994.

It took you over 800 words to massage what could be said in four “Clueless in St. Pete.”
Every foreign junket this guy takes is like another episode of “Last Comic Standing,” except it isn’t funny.

How does main stream media dare to call themselves unbiase reporters of “the News”?

They praise the Israeli Zionist party for their disgusting attacks on civilian Arab targets yet call Arabs who attack military targets vengeful barbarians.

They condemn Arabs for their response to repeated Israeli kidnappings and assinations of Lebanon’s elected leaders, while praising and justifying the Israeli for committing these acts.

Why is no main stream media criticizing the overboard (and clearly well planned in advance) Israeli response to one or two of their soldiers being taken prisoner when the Israeli response was to kidnap 60 of Lebanon’s politicians and then start the bombing of purely civilian targets?

Everyone knows that exceedingly few politicians have a concience anymore. It’s too bad that the majority of reporters have so willingly joined them.

In this clearly one-sided reporting of this conflict the truth is suffering. If it wasn’t for ‘alternative’ news there would be zero honesty in news reporting.

Read the open letter from the Project for the New American Century in 1998 to President Clinton (pre-911, al Qaeda in its nascent state, defense of oil fields not redacted, no mention of the “poor Kurds”) and you’ll know all you need to know about this administration’s policy toward the Middle East, the war in Iraq…all of it. 911 did not hasten the aggression against Iraq - it delayed it.

Oh…and pay special attention to the the signers.  Names familiar?  Should be - most of them were key players in the first Bush administration and the Iraq invasion.  Oh…and don’t attach any special significance to the absence of the puppeteer’s signature (Cheney). 

He was a co-founder of PNAC.

January 26, 1998

The Honorable William J. Clinton
President of the United States
Washington, DC

Dear Mr. President:

We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War.  In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat.  We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world.  That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power.  We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.

The policy of “containment” of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over the past several months.  As recent events have demonstrated, we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections.  Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished.  Even if full inspections were eventually to resume, which now seems highly unlikely, experience has shown that it is difficult if not impossible to monitor Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons production.  The lengthy period during which the inspectors will have been unable to enter many Iraqi facilities has made it even less likely that they will be able to uncover all of Saddam’s secrets.  As a result, in the not-too-distant future we will be unable to determine with any reasonable level of confidence whether Iraq does or does not possess such weapons.

Such uncertainty will, by itself, have a seriously destabilizing effect on the entire Middle East.  It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world’s supply of oil will all be put at hazard.  As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat.

Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate. The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy.

We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration’s attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam’s regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf. In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council.

We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.

Sincerely,

Israel was attacked first. It’s Hamas and Hezbolah
that fired the first shot.

Well we now can see, very brightly, Bush’s pure and clear ineptness as a world leader. World leader? What a stupid term to use to describe what Bush is NOT. He failed the American people who suffered after Katrina, and now he is failing both the Lebanese people, and even the 25,000 or so American visitors to Lebanon, as a leader capable of doing something to stop the death and potential death of innocent people.

As he sits there discussing the situation with is lap dog Blair (this guy, Blair, had shown what he really is made of – NOTHING!), Bush shows his true ignorance and contempt for the people of Lebanon as Israel rain their evil hatred attack on innocent people, while spewing out their continued tired lie of “self defence”. Israel’s action is nothing less than absolute terrorism and yet the so called democratic West does nothing more but just sit there and talk empty words of diplomacy.

Not only has Bush and the US government failed at stopping the evil actions of Israel, with at least a condemnation of Israel’s extreme and totally unnecessary attacks, but also the rest of the western world has failed, too, by doing nothing!

It sickens me to see how Americans can be so ignorant and stupid about what is really going on in the Middle East. It also sickens me to realise how successful the US media, in general, has been in dumbing down the majority of Americans and keeping most stupid and ignorant of the truth. Especially about that murderous, evil and deceiving Bush and his administration.

Mr. Sheer writes:

“... the notoriously divided Iraqi parliament UNANIMOUSLY passed a motion condemning the Israeli offensive and urging the U.N. Security Council and Group of Eight leaders meeting to intervene ‘to stop the ... Israeli criminal aggression.’

“Instead of creating a malleable U.S.-Israel ally, the overthrow of the secular Sunni leader Saddam Hussein has extended a fiery arc of Shiite-dominated religious fanaticism blazing across the Mideast skyline…”

I hope he does not mean by the juxtaposition of these two paragraphs to imply that the Iraqi parliament’s absolutely correct condemnation of Israel’s criminal aggression is evidence of “religious fanaticism”.
