OMG! Did anyone hear Smirky quoted just now on CNN?

[Stephanie]

He was asked: How do you think history will look back on this war?

George: History? We won't know. We'll be dead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Honest to god. Did anybody else just hear this? They were reporting on the Woodward book.

[boobooday]

1. Revealing his plans?

Hmph. Damn fool.

[opihimoimoi]

5. He is so lolo, he don't even realize the contex of the question.

He is a Smart ass wimp chimp.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Is bush thinking of the old adage

I loose you loose?

This man is scarier than Nixon at the end, who was kept away from the Nuclear trigger by Kissinger. There is nobody there to keep Junior away from it

[Dufaeth]

6. Do you mean "lose"?

eom

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. yep sorry

still scary

[KharmaTrain]

32. Junior's Nowhere Near The Football

Unka Dick surely has that well out of Junior's reach. And that makes it scary in its own right.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

3. Bush is looking forward to the Rapture.

There will be no history in the future, because we are in the 'End Days'

[FlashHarry]

20. Bingo!

That's why they don't care about deficits or the environment--we'll all be dead!

[jus_the_facts]

30. that's exactly right....

...and they're not gonna give up their power so easily this November...sit back and watch them steal yet another election to expediate our extinction.....and remember I told ya so! :evilfrown:

[ulTRAX]

39. the danger of projecting

What proof do you have that Bush actually meant the Rapture as opposed to the more obvious explanation that we all, will in fact, die? You should qualify your remarks when you don't have the facts. While Bush may believe it, he did not add that God is the ultimate judge and S/He will decide.

Not that you're guilty of this but it's always unwise to confuse projections or distortions with proof.

[ParanoidPat]

52. Well Bush* did agree that the Aug. 6th PDB was "historical" in nature.....

....FWIW! :evilgrin:

[JohnOneillsMemory]

4. WTF. Obviously, no one really thinks he's prez or there'd be riots. n/t

[vetwife]

7. Idiot doesn't realize any past action is History..regardless of timespan

He must not have seen the Lion King...Remember "Its in the past"
History is in the past. The past can be one second from your actions or a thousand years. Doesn't matter, once the tootpaste is out of the tube, its history.

[Dark]

27. He probably drank so much he can't remember anything.

[doni_georgia]

8. I'm sorry

ROFLMAO, I know it's not really funny, but GOD, how stupid IS this man???? Damn, he makes "potatoe" boy Dan Quayle looking like a friggin MENSA candidate!

[Virginian]

34. Poppy Bush's other boy

Dan Quayle who was criticized for going into the National Guard to avoid getting sent to Viet Nam?
Dan Quayle who thought "Murphy Brown" should not have had a child out of wedlock?
Dan Quayle who corrected a child for spelling Potato without the "e" on the end? That "Potatoe" boy, Dan Quayle?

He was just like a real son to Poppy; no wonder Poppy selected him to be VP.

[kskiska]

48. Dan Quayle's wife comments

As Marilyn Quayle bitterly told The Arizona Republic, “the caricature they made of Dan in ‘88 is George W. It’s him. It wasn’t true about Dan. But it is him. ... A guy that never accomplished anything. ... Everything he got, Daddy took care of.”

[liarliartieonfire]

49. Marilyn KNEW !!

Is this for REAL! LOL

[unblock]

9. but the 8/6/01 pdb was "historical"

he understands the term when it's convenient for him.

well, at least, he understands how to use the term when it's convenient for him.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. One-cell thinking:

If it's in the past, he doesn't remember it. If he doesn't remember it, it never existed.

The Chimp is a walking medulla oblongata.

[w13rd0]

12. Gee, so what does that mean...

...in relation to Rice insisting that the PDB was "historical"?

[RainDog]

13. America PLEASE send this village idiot back to Texas

I think I have to stop reading the news for a while, because every time this man opens his mouth, he sets back the cause of American democracy a few decades, it seems.

I'm certainly glad the founders of this nation were not so absolutely ignorant as the current illegal resident of the oval office.

Imagine Jefferson was drawing up the Declaration of Independence, or Madison insisting on a bill of rights. They sure as hell thought they could use their goddam human reason to conjecture what future generations in this nation would think about what they were doing and how it would be viewed in history, including the shameful great compromise which allowed the hateful southern states to keep their slaves, to the shame of this nation ever since.

George Bush, go home to Texas and fuck up some baseball team. You did not earn and do not deserve the office in which you now squat, you worthless piece of shit.

[DeepModem Mom]

16. Say it, RainDog!

[powergirl]

45. I live in Texas and I don't want him here

We want to send him back to Connecticut or Kennebunkport. Why is it that the prez is the only Bush family member who has a Texas accent? I also heard him use the word "rather." He said it very New Englandish and it was pronounced like father. Maybe when he's off guard, his stupid ass Texas accent fades and we hear how he talks to his mama.

So, please don't send Bush back to Texas. I mean, I'll take him here if he leaves DC and there are no other options. :)

[TheFarseer]

14. hard to believe he said that

It was a perfect chance to break out the talking points. Sometimes I sincerely wonder if he wants to be president anymore

[DeepModem Mom]

15. My whole family majored in history -- that makes my blood boil!

The only things this man seems to take seriously are fundie religion, brush-clearing, and humiliating news reporters. I cannot imagine what kind of warped upbringing, psychosis, substance abuse history, or some other factor, produces a human being as uncaring and worthless as GW Bush.

[Imperialism Inc.]

17. "Which is exactly why we are all craven assholes," he didn't continue,

but should have. "There is only this life, so you might as well git while the gittin's good. They always say back in Texas, or no was Tenne... oh who cares. Bently fetch me my gold threaded toilet paper."

[jimshoes]

18. That is such a fuggin' ignorant statment

not even Douche Rushbag would repeat it.

[scarface2004]

19. what about his favorite political philosopher...

that renowned right wing hate monger homophobe chauvinist neo con jesus h christ!!!!!!!

[Pax Argent]

33. This talking point has never made sense to me.

"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto the Lord that which is the Lord's". Didn't Christ say that?

Christ may have been the first proponent of the division of church (the Lord) and state (Caesar). That being said, how exactly has Bush embraced the teachings of Christ (turn the other cheek, render unto Caesar, remove the log in your own eye (WMD) before removing the mote in your brother's (Iraq), etc.).

The list goes on and on and the bottom line is that in my opinion this is another hypocrital lie. Bush has forgotten the teachings of Christ (if he ever knew them) and has instead embraced the lies put forward by the church if he even goes this far with the window dressing of his false religiosity.

[keithyboy]

21. I heard it and wondered why there wasn't a delay to blip it out?

It was obscene as Janet's breast...even more so.

[Stephanie]

22. Okay, I'm sorry to say I got the quote almost EXACTLY RIGHT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asked by Woodward how history would judge the war, Bush replied: "History. We don't know. We'll all be dead."

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/washpost/20040417/ts_washpost/a17347_2004apr16

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone needs to read this terrifying story from the WaPo on the Woodward book.

[Avalux]

23. That one statement

is very telling. Every decision shrub makes, everything he does has it as the basis. He's saying "I DON'T CARE". :puke:

[Gman]

24. That guy is such an idiot

I'm starting to feel just a bit sorry for him between the question at the press conference about his biggest mistake and now this. He looks really bad too.

Ok... Pity's over... Beat his ass in November.

[bloom]

25. DAVID BROOKS-"in 20 years, no one will doubt that President Bush...

A More Humble Hawk
By DAVID BROOKS

"When I worked at The Weekly Standard, we argued ad nauseam...

Many of us also assumed, wrongly, that the administration would launch a fresh postwar initiative to globalize the reconstruction effort. My friends at the Project for the New American Century urged the U.S. to go to the U.N. for a reconstruction resolution, to build a broad coalition to aid rebuilding and to establish a NATO-led security force. That never happened.

Despite all this ? and maybe it's pure defensiveness ? I still believe that in 20 years, no one will doubt that Bush did the right thing. To his enormous credit, the president has been ruthlessly flexible over the past months and absolutely committed to seeing this through. He is acknowledging the need for more troops. He is absolutely right to embrace Lakhdar Brahimi's plan to dissolve the Governing Council and set up an interim government. This might take attention away from the U.S, and change the atmosphere in the country."


http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/17/opinion/17BROO.html?th

ad nauseum is right... :puke:

We'll all want to be dead at rate they are going...

[Dark]

28. What is wrong with these people?

I still believe that in 20 years, no one will doubt that Bush did the right thing.

The families of the soldiers who died in Iraq.

[Stephanie]

38. Dear David Brooks: SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!

That this weasel has the GALL to continue to spout his inanities INFURIATES me. WHY does anyone publish him? He is nothing but a lying spokesmodel for the idiot neocons.

And this:

Now I get the sense that while the Iraqis don't want us to fail, since our failure would mean their failure, many don't want to see us succeed either. They want to see us bleed, to get taken down a notch, to suffer for their chaos and suffering.

Sadly, it is not BROOKS who bleeds. It is not BROOKS who suffers.

[smirkymonkey]

51. It should be though. That guy is

the lamest f-ing excuse of a journalist. EVER. What a little dork!

[bobbieinok]

43. "RUTHLESSLY FLEXIBLE"------?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[PfcHammer]

26. i think shrub's brain was "left behind"

[opihimoimoi]

29. worse, he got America fooled. Enough Bushites exist to regulate

Sanity to the Bastille.

[susu369]

31. Friends, bu$h* probably felt he was being WITTY and CUTE

scary: he truly has Bab's warped sense of humor.

[TruthIsAll]

35. He's brain-dead right now.

Bush is confusing history with the economy.

John Maynard Keynes said "In the long run, we will all be dead".

[goclark]

36. Yep, he should be history as of today

I heard what he said and I could not believe my ears.
How does he know that we will all be gone?
Today is today and tomorrow today will be history.
I know that he believes that he is God but did God tell him that we will all be gone by the time someone is able to write a book about this mess?

What year does he believe will be the Year of GWB's history?

I was also wondering if he is speaking just about GWB. Do you think he knows something that we don't know about his health or something?

After he is kicked out of office, he really should write a dictionary! Just with his made up words. It could be a best seller at Disneyland.

[Postman]

37. If it weren't soo scary it would be funny..

n/t

[Lisa]

40. No, George! Think of leaving something for "posteriority"!

Sigh. Yale's History Department must be cringing collectively.

[enki23]

41. a clumsy dodge, if i've ever heard one

[Snellius]

42. Those Who Do Not Remember History Are Condemned ...

To Be Dead.

[0rganism]

44. bush jr. is living proof that today's republicans hate their government

W is a walking excoriation of the flaws of democracy, a semi-sentient being who exemplifies the realized potential for systemic corruption and demagoguery.

History will not be kind to such a person, before or after death.

[Beam Me Up]

46. RIGHT ON

WHO is it that "hates our freedom"?

The neoconservative, fundamentalist, environment devouring corporate-fascist, anti-humanist REPUBLICAN RIGHT, that's who!

[liarliartieonfire]

47. "Aristide" George Bush!! PLEASE

I honestly cannot TAKE the stupidity any longer!!!
Thank God for making me a Liberal!!

[smirkymonkey]

50. I hope that wasn't a prediction for the

near term. Everything out of his mouth lately gives me the creeps.
