Bush's new lame joke on Lou Dobbs tonight
Did anybody see that piece that Kelly Wallace did of Bush in Arizona today? Let me set the scene:

Dubya was doing one of his stunts where he was on a stage on a stool with two other people from the community discussing the economy. If I remember correctly one of the locals was a Union leader. When the union guy got his turn, he gave a brief praise of Dubya's efforts and then (apparently) went off script as Wallace noted and said that the people he had talked to were concerned about jobs. Dubya kept interrupting him while he tried to explain and then said...(paraphrase) "I kow, I'm worried about my job too" He smirked and looked out at the audience like he had just made some hilarious joke and got dead silence in return. Wallace said it was an unusual moment for both the local guy and Dubya to go "off script".

It showed once again that dubya doesn't give a rats a$$ about anybody but himself......and his sense of humor is lacking.

1. Bush has been saying stupid, insensitive, arrogant things since day 1
But I am somewhat encouraged that the mainstream press is finally starting to notice and report it.

2. It was encouraging
I wish you could have seen Kelly Wallace's face. She knew this was a "gotcha" moment and let a long period of silence define the moment. It was actually pretty good.

3. Doesn't it always seem that the truth is off-script?
Lies are harder to remember, so they have to be kept on cue cards.

5. It is starting to Hit The Fan


Thank God for the off the script guy today.
We need a few more brave soldiers like him.
The only audiences that they put around him have to be "Party Parrots"
Now the spell has been broken. Someone surprise him and got him to look like a deer in headlights.

Remember Eartha Kitt when she blasted Lady Bird Johnson at a innocent little luncheon, the Sister really talked!
Of course her career took an instant noise dive but so be it! She was a hero for the Democrats during those times.

6. I saw Eartha at her 70th birthday gig in Boston - still sexy - still great
She said that in the 70's she HAD to go to the EU/France to make a living because Corporate America shut down any other option.

To me, the nice thing was how big a hit she was in France!

4. Bu$h doesn't have a "job."
He has a "sinecure." Look it up. Great job for the religiously-inclined, lowly-motivated, rich-boys like Bu$h. Unfortunately, the presidency of the United States should not be a sinecure. It should be the hard-work, full-time job that was exemplified by Clinton's eight years. Did Clinton take a month-long vacation in the sixth month of his Presidency? Would he have, with the words and winds of domestic war swirling like a Crawford tornado (like Bu$h did)? Too complex for me, my friends.
