George W Bush=Alfred E Newman
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 04:45 PM by ls317
ASPEN, Colo. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich.

The Democrat from New York also accused Bush of depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funding for scientific research.

"I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington," Clinton said referring to the freckle-faced Mad magazine character. She drew a laugh from crowd when she described Bush's attitude toward tough issues with Neuman's catchphrase: "What, me worry?"

2. Clinton might be discounting W's malice.
The Newman guy is an idiot, not a monster.

6. I do see a "family resemblance" and the line
"What, me worry?" fits, but I think Alfie is a harmless sort.
Bush reminds me of Reese, on "Malcolm In The Middle"

9. Sen. Clinton struck a nerve with the Repugs.....
Obviously, Sen. Clinton struck a nerve with the Repugs on this, because they are going orgasmic over her comments!

I think she's right on time!

Bush does have that "what, me worry" mentality.

The problem is, he doesn't understand course correction. He's so wedded to his own ideas, even when the evidence tells him he's dead wrong.

11. One more point I forgot to make
I normally don't have much faith in what Pat Robertson says.

But remember that interview he gave to CNN, when he claimed he tried to talk to Bush about Iraq, and tell him he needed to prepare the United States mentally for casualities in Iraq. He said Bush's response was "there aren't going to be any casualties."

If this story is true, that would support the Alfred Neuman similiarities.
