I'm SICK of bush's extreme narcissism. It's embarrassing as hell.

[Bouncy Ball]

When he spoke this morning, he kept mentioning how the leaders at the G8 summit all "have resolve like HIM." LIKE HIM. LIKE HIM. LIKE HIM. LIKE HIM.

LIKE HIM. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT HIM, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT HIM. WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT HIM????

It's not. It's not always about him. He's an asshole and when making comments like this, all he can think about is to get in five more sentences about how he has "resolve."

He's got bupkus. He's got shit. He's an asshole, because all he can think about is himself. He doesn't even give a shit about Americans, does he really think he's going to convince anyone he cares about everyday Londoners? Bullshit.

Asshole.

Sorry if this is politicizing the situation, but I was embarrassed to hear him turn it into a speech a-fucking-bout HIMSELF YET AGAIN. Gads. It just isn't possible for him to make ONE fucking selfless statement, is it? Not a single one. Had to thrown in, too, about how he's about to "get to work." WELL THAT WOULD BE A NEW THING NOW WOULDN'T IT? *THAT* WOULD BE NOVEL INDEED!!! Yes, let's see bush doing that amazing thing called work. No, all I've ever seen the asshole do is smirk for a few cameras, act belligerent to journalists, pretend to wield a chainsaw, fucking fall off a bike, snicker and hiss, look like a deer in the headlights, and run off to the pig farm. The day I actually see that man do some WORK.....

[rfranklin]

1. And HE will hunt them down! Just like Osama bin Laden!

My Hero!

[grace0418]

55. HE will hunt them down all the way to Iran, where the bombing

should commence any day now. Geezus I hate that fucker.

[DaddyBear1]

2. YES!!!

May I simply say AMEN to your comments.

The Shrub is such an arrogant ass, he will use this whole London thing to try to LOOK GOOD as a stong leader... BS.... he is a loser and Nazi type.... he is loving this.

[tnlefty]

7. Welcome to DU, DaddyBear1!!

Hope that you like it here. :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Hey your first post was in my thread! How cool!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

Glad you're here!

[DaddyBear1]

52. How nice of you all

I will be in the shadows, and stay quiet if I can.... but the Shrub just gets my goat so bad.

[undeterred]

3. he's just reminding the world that he is a narcissistic asshole

as if we could forget for a minute.

A great contrast with the truly shaken demeanor of Blair.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. No shit.

I've never heard Blair's speech so clipped before. He just spoke in these stunned three word sentences.

[asjr]

4. Your post--on target and beautiful!

[Wetzelbill]

6. hey, I'm frustrated at everything, Dems, Repubs, Centrists....

I saw people attack other people on this board last night, read Freepers attacking other Freepers on their board earlier today. It just seems like nobody can get along. Like you can't trust anybody to protect our country and this world. The right thing seems to not exist right now. I'm getting cynical. Very cynical.

I just pray and look to my faith, and keep on doing my thing.

[I Have A Dream]

76. Just don't let them break your will. That's what the...

right's trying to do to everyone who doesn't agree with them. They're trying to make it death by a 1000 cuts.

[earthside]

8. He thinks this is about him!

Here's a sentence from what he said this morning:

"I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room," Bush said. "Their resolve is as strong as my resolve."

He really does think this is all about him. And he thinks everyone else has to seek his approval.

We're in such big trouble with a megalomaniac like this making decisions ... Just wait. This is going to get a lot worse.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. THAT'S THE ONE!!!

That's the statement that made my jaw drop this morning.

HE'S ALWAYS GOT TO MAKE IT ABOUT HIM!!!! I mean seriously what the FUCK is wrong with him??? People like that have NO social skills and worse. Megalomania, exactly. Scary scary shit when someone can only think about THEMSELVES and their political gain in a time like this.

Fucker.

[tenshi816]

32. You know what? I would pay good money

to see Tony Blair (or, hell, any leader of one of America's allies) turn to Bush and say to him "it's not always about YOU". Can you imagine Bush's face if it had been Blair making the "I was most impressed by the resolve...their resolve is as strong as my resolve" statement without putting Bush front and center as the most important person in the room? Or if anyone ever decided to do anything without seeking his approval? I can already picture steam coming out of his ears. Megalomaniac is not a word I throw around lightly, but I do believe he is one.

I, too, feel that things are going to get worse.

[Bouncy Ball]

36. You know what else?

I've known one or two people who are as self-centered as he is. Obviously they didn't have his level of power, but one thing that struck me about them is that they NEVER had close friends. They might have aquaintances, but NO close friends. No one could stand them.

[tenshi816]

44. You've made a good point.

I've known a couple in my life too, and the thing is that while they can be very social people, the impression I've had is that in the end they're only doing it because it looks good, not because there's any real feeling involved towards anyone else. It's still always about them. No empathy whatsoever.

Have you noticed too with people like that, that they're really offended if you ever point out their self-centeredness? They're so self-centered, they don't even see that they're self-centered.

[JimmyJazz]

46. That was INSANE! Translation: "I'm impressed by them because

they are like me and we all know how impressed I am with myself" :eyes:

AND, he's going to find them and bring them to justice - I'm sure the terrorists are quaking in their combat boots over that statement.

[Bouncy Ball]

49. If I were them, I'd be laughing and thinking

"if you are going to bring me to justice the way you brought OBL to justice, I ain't worried!!!"

Heck bush has been the best thing to happen to world-wide terrorism.

:cry:

So sorry, world.

[smirkymonkey]

61. I continue to be amazed by how my hatred for that asshole

manages to grow on a daily basis. I live for the day he gets his comeuppance. Meanwhile, somebody over there should smack the living shit out of him.

[marmar]

9. The science of exploitation...

Forget about the suffering of Britons today - let's talk about my agenda!!!

:puke:

[dogday]

10. Bush is just upset that he is not

in charge and can use this somehow for his own political gain.

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. I'm sure he'll find a way.

He always does. Self centered, self absorbed POS major league asshole that he is.

[Frederik]

11. Blair looked genuinely shaken

While Bush was his usual medicated self. He talked about "spreading an ideology of hope and compassion", which left me nauseous considering who it was coming from. Yeah, Shrubbie, it's your "calling from beyond the stars" to "defeat tyranny in this world".

[soothsayer]

31. feh! there's nothing genuine about that reptile. phonies, all!

[Frederik]

39. Well, at least he knows how to pretend

[yurbud]

58. NEOCON LOGO IS AWESOME--I'LL LINK ON BLOG LATER

Do you have a page with your artwork?

69. It's not my artwork, sadly

I stole it from somewhere, and now I don't even remember where.

I like your art!

12. "Bring 'em on; We're gonna smoke em out of their holes; we'll get osama

dead or alive; i've made the world a safer place"

lies.. lies.. and more lies.

AWOL Bush doesn't know what he fuck he's doing. he needs to admit it and move the hell out of the way so someone competant can take over.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Yeah, where IS Osama bin Laden???

bush ain't BIN looking.

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

15. I know its off topic but I'm still

laughing about Slippy McFallsdown, I think that has been the only thing to make me belly laugh in months.

[Bouncy Ball]

17. I'm glad.

Laughs are rare and good in times like these, aren't they?

:toast: Thank you. You lightened my mood just now with that, so thank you for that!

[smirkymonkey]

60. I like that! "Slippy McFallsdown"!

thanks for the laugh in the midst of today's very grim news! :)

[madaboutharry]

16. You are so right.

He is an embarrassment to this nation.

[Career Prole]

18. You nailed it, BB.

You hit it right on the head.

[Danmel]

20. Not to nitpick or anything but it's Bupkus

Yiddish for nothing.


Which of course is an apt word for him- except unfortunately he's got everything- mooney power and no accountability. It is maddening.

ANyway- for today at least I just want to keep the people of London in my thoughts and prayers (such as they are) and send my sincerest condolences to those who have lost loved ones and to those who are injured and to hope that there are no more incidents like this again.

It is sad that we have to live in this kind of world.

[tanyev]

21. Even when Blair was speaking, I kept getting distracted by

Bush's beady eyes behind him, shifting, shifting, shifting. I thought then that Bush was probably ticked off that all the attention was on Blair and not on HIM.

[Bouncy Ball]

23. Yeah. "When am I gonna talk? When am I gonna talk?"

It's ALWAYS got to be about HIM.


"Get out of the way, it's about ME, even though this is the dedication of your library!"

[jojo54]

22. Damn, you go, Bouncy!!!!!!!!

You've told it like it is. B*sh is a narrcissist, to the extreme. When he goes down, he's going to go down so hard that we may not be able to look at the carnage.

Gawd, they're showing Blair's speech again, with * standing off to the side. He looks like the devil with those pointy ears and pointy nose!!!!!!!!!!

[Bouncy Ball]

24. Oh I'll be looking at him going down.

:D I'll be looking long and hard.

[acmejack]

28. IMO he is the devil!

Nothing to add, he is just so revolting.

[leftchick]

25. CNN perpetuating the bush myth

gawd it is sick. Elaine Kehano (sp?) in Scotland reporting that bush remains firm in his resolve to find those responsible for these acts of terror. Uh ELAINE get a clue. You should be asking where the hell UBL is you nitwit! They go on and on like it is all about our great terror fighter bush!

:grr: :puke:

[WCGreen]

26. To the point and right on.........

Our president can't view the world unless it filters down to how it effects him personally....

He's trying to score political points when all he needed to say was

We feel for our ally, know what they are going through and offer our full support in this their time of need......

You and I both know, as all people on this board do as well, this thing about always bringing it back to violence just escallates the whole situation.....

Once again our responds in the most basic and primitive way possible short of strapping on the six shooters.....

[Bouncy Ball]

27. EXACTLY. You described my feelings very well.

WHY did he need to mention himself at all? Why did he need to mention violence in return for violence?

He couldn't make ONE fucking statement that didn't involve promoting himself and promoting violence. It makes me sick. It truly does. My stomach turned.

[TheUnspeakable]

33. HE'S A SOCIOPATHIC NARCISIST !!!!-everything is about HIM n/t

[immoderate]

29. Bouncy...

As always, clear in vision and thought.

--IMM

[in_cog_ni_to]

THAT'S EXACTLY what I said to my husband when the moron gave his speech!

"OMG, he's making this about HIM, US! How embarrassing!" He's such a damn idiot! OBVIOUSLY, he didn't have a speech writer with him today. :eyes: Man, I hate that bastard!

[HEAVYHEART]

30. Right on

I agree. I almost puked whe I heard him on npr this morning. I fucking hate him. :puke:

[liam_laddie]

34. the faux cowboy

Lifted that phrase from another DU poster, the perfect description.
F-CK * and EVERYONE around him, from karl to dick to li'l
scottie...they ALL deserve to burn for eternity!!!
Please let's make the Sept 24 events REALLY effective.
BTW, does anyone think that * actually had the ability to
fly an F-102? I have my doubts; would have been fairly easy
to fake flight logs. Jes' wonderin' - that was a unit for the
rich and no doubt records could have been "altered."
Suffering from terminal cynicism...

[Neecy]

35. I can't believe I watched it...

Aside from his babble, did you notice how he strutted and marched, all stiff-armed, to the microphones?

I'm used to his strutting, but it was more pronounced this morning than I've seen before. He was clearly loving his grand entrance.

[Bouncy Ball]

37. I think there is something physically/physiologically wrong

with him and that has to do with his walk. No one just walks that way and if you look at old footage of him, he didn't used to.

[evolved Anarchopunk]

38. bouncyball, you couldn't have used the word asshole

enough... * has changed my life, i honestly never knew you could be such a Fuckup, such a destructive and uncaring Fuckup, such a vile dishonest and insidious Fuckup! except that i knew it yesterday, and the day before that, and 6 years ago when i first heard him talk... damn, was it that long ago... i'm old.. old and tired

there, that there was the last of any emotion i had left. I've broken down and cried when i think of our illegal war in Iraq, fine, i'll admit it on this day when millions cry with me. I've felt the fire of wanting to beat *'s fratboy face, i've felt the winds of time wearing on us all, the pace of the new world is fast but i found a way to sync it up with my volatile emotions with time.

but when i saw him on TV today, i couldn't even laugh at him.. not even when i imagined i was John Stewart (that actually works quite often). nope, today he was the same asshole with a new toy, a new disaster to fuck up in his warped brain and on his twisted tongue

thankyou for your beautiful post bouncy ball, this one pales in comparison, but i feel the world paling right along with me...

maybe i'll get over it

[Bouncy Ball]

41. Heh. Pales? This line was classic:

"nope, today he was the same asshole with a new toy, a new disaster to fuck up in his warped brain and on his twisted tongue"

VERY well-put.

[johnnie]

40. This morning while watching the news

Right after Blair spoke, the newscaster said that georgie was going to have something to say and I thought to myself why the hell should he have anything to say. Was he going to try to comfort the people of London? Was he going to address the American people about something he has no idea about? He should just keep his trap shut on things like this and do his friggin' job.

[Bouncy Ball]

42. BUT IT'S GOT TO BE ABOUT HIM.

IT'S GOT TO BE ABOUT HIM. IT'S GOT TO BE ABOUT HIM.

He reminds me of my brother. WHEN MY BROTHER WAS FIVE.

[ms liberty]

43. Thank You Bouncy Ball for expressing...

what I've been feeling since I heard that bloody fucking self-absorbed twit on TV earlier. God's teeth, he really is a sociopath, isn't he?

In honor of the British people, I am using as many wonderful British expressions of disgust as possible.

[Bouncy Ball]

45. He's a popinjay, an idjit.

A wanker. He should sod off.

:thumbsup:

[johannes1984]

47. crap

he couldn't be sincere if his life depended on it .But no matter how dumb or void his statement was , it does not blur one thing .That we in Europe ,share much more with the US than mere policy .When we are hit by terror , the stomachs of americans grew just as heavy as ours .And so too does it go vice versa .

We're all sickened when something like this happens , Bush seems to turn it into policy as ever .but no worries just reading trough these pages is enough to realize it really is him being the problem ,not a nation or such .

proves again JFK was right ,we're all born in one world , we're all going to die in one world , so we better learn to live in one world .

My thoughts go out to all those struck by this dark and heinous deed , but also those who live with this on a daily basis , I cannot imagine living in such .

[Bouncy Ball]

50. Good post.

:thumbsup:

Welcome to DU!!!!

[peekaloo]

51. The look on the bastard's face during Blair's address angered me.

He looked like he couldn't wait for Blair to stop talking so he could take center stage.

We all know the world looks to Bu$h for strength in times of crisis. :sarcasm:

[DaddyBear1]

53. Oh me tooooo!

That monkey smirk was sooooo revealing.... he hates that he cannolt take the sotlight right yet.... but give him awhile, he will... and try to turn it all to his "amazing" defense of democracy around the world.... BS.... he is the reason ALONE for all this hell.

[peekaloo]

56. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Sparkle]

54. He loves to be the center of attention.

What the hell is he goanna do when he's out of office?

[Bouncy Ball]

64. Who knows?

Blow up shit? Like frogs? Or maybe something bigger?

[yurbud]

57. that caught my attention too--like a bad celeb, he buys his own PR

or has just been so catered to his whole life that and was too stupid to realize his servants were paid to fawn over him.

[kentuck]

59. I've always despised that about him...

"I" will not let that happen while on my watch....(right after he let it happen on his watch) I, me, mine...

[ultraist]

62. I had pretty much the same reaction after hearing him this am

I was embarrassed that he is the main rep/spokesman for our country. It's all so sad. What happened, what is happening and that someone like Bush has so much power and control.

:cry:

[smirkymonkey]

63. I hope that when he and his minions end up in prison they will

let us all queue up for a chance to spit on him.

[Bouncy Ball]

65. I hope you're not holding your breath on that.

Money buys a LOT of privilege.

[rateyes]

66. And, why do you think that, when all those world leaders

were there, and standing around Blair when he made his statement, that NOT ONE of them was standing with Bush when he made his? It's the "We don't need no freaking help," syndrome. Look at me! Forget all those other people. What an asshole.

[GoBlue]

67. And guess which quote CBSNEWS.com

features

"I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve."

-President Bush

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/07/07/terror/main707145.shtml

[leftchick]

70. they repeated that one on CNN as well...

It is sickening isn't it? Here he is talking and gesturing to HIMSELF...

[mcscajun]

73. Wow. I'll bet they're all so fuckin' flattered that * feels they are his

equals. I know they feel So MUCH Better after hearing * say how Impressed he was with them.

It is just so revolting everytime something critical on this planet seeing this man open his yap to put his face forward. Me, Me, Me. It's all about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

What a narcissistic twit he is. He's soooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassing to this country.

Is it 2009 yet?

[Mr_Spock]

68. Bush has a minescule penis

What can he say? :rofl:

[Mike03]

72. agreed 100%

I noticed that too when I heard the clip. It was HUMILIATING.

[bridgit]

74. agreed in full...

it's an on-going bush family character flaw brought about imo by their insatiable meddling into virtually everything on the plate like a 'people' that so willfully take at least one bite out of every donut in the box tainting the rest for the rest :thumbsdown:

[Lisa]

75. what a git!

My British co-worker taught me that wonderful word. (I'm certain she's okay ... just as I'm sure that, when she e-mails me about this, she will say the same thing about Bush.)

For once, for bloody once in his life, couldn't he say, "and my resolve is as strong as THEIRS"? Can he simply not bring himself to defer to a group of people who are, according to international law, his peers and NOT his subordinates?

And Tony Blair, like him or not, put everything on the line for Bush -- but for his loyalty, he's paid in terms of his political credibility, and now his own people have had to pay as well. And Bush doesn't lift a finger, to support Blair's poverty and environmental initiatives. (Which, if they succeed, have a better chance at reducing conflicts around the world this century than anything Bush is doing right now.)

[I Have A Dream]

77. It really is sad, isn't it, Lisa? I agree with everything that...

you said.
