George is really in love with himself, isn't he?
"As of Saturday, Bush was standing firm on his decision not to meet with her saying, according to a news service, "I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say." And then added, "But I think it is also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."

13. It's an Arab thing...
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 01:39 AM by madeline_con
When greeting, both cheeks are kissed, but to show real respect, you try to kiss the other's forehead. I've seen guys go on for a couple of minutes greeting and shmoozing like that.

Then he turns around and insults his old buddies by missing the King's funeral. :eyes:

25. Thanks for the cultural lesson!
I think in George's case - he just can't resist himself.

33. In the words of Johnny Rotten, "I'm in love with myself...my beautiful
self."

There had to be election fraud; there is no way the people of America elected that piece of shit.

I don't think he is capable of feeling anything about anyone.

He's got to be one of the least balanced in the world right now.

...and find a nice little place with a dayful of structures activities and no responsibilities...

Like a cell in Ft. Leavenworth.

34. Sorry to get OT here, but what on earth is he doing
in that photo? What's that he's standing on and what's with that bike? It's pink and blue for God's sake, and looks like something my daughter had when she was 9. It looks like it should have a basket with a little bell on the front and some plastic streamers hanging from the handlebars to fly in the wind as Georgie speeds down the street.

Maybe my eyes just aren't awake enough yet this morning.

9. Well whoop-dee-f*cking-doo!!
Gee george, it would have been nice if Cindy and all the other gold star families could have gone on with their lives as well. You know, the lives they had before their loved ones were murdered by your fucking war, you blundering ass!!!

I'm sure the over 1800 family members that were lost by your war would have loved to have gone on with their lives too. Unfortunately, they didn't get that opportunity, did they george, you fucking wanking wart on the ass of America!!!

11. Here's another choice quote:
"In Crawford Friday, Bob Edgar, National Council of Churches general secretary and a former member of Congress, predicted shortly before leading a prayer service that the stalemate will end soon.

"We believe that the president will meet with Cindy," Edgar told The Chronicle. "Because he's a good man and he knows that it's the right thing to do. He just hasn't realized it yet.""

WHERE is that damn BARF smilie, just when it's most needed?

So when do you want to give us your resignation?

31. I'd say you're very close. It DOES indicate he's gotten therapy, I think
I doubt it's much in the way of therapy, but it's pretty clear his 'downtime' is invested in giving him a narcissistic supply - and essential medications. I'm convinced he's a pathological narcissist (NPD per DSM-IV) and the "balanced life" remark betrays some 'unofficial' counseling employing the only techniques to which he might be amenable - i.e. couched in "it's all about him" spoonfuls of sugar. I'd be stunned if counseling is new to him -- and its failure is to be expected. I'd bet his infamous talk with Billy Graham was a part of a counseling process -- Graham was certainly trained to some degree in providing such counseling. Clearly, it's a fool's errand - Narcissistic Personality Disorder is virtually untreatable. I'm pretty confident (as a non-professional, of course) that he's secondarily manifesting APD (Antisocial Personality Disorder). Attempting to preclude a meltdown by taking him offline and providing a heavy narcissistic supply merely postpones an inevitable (and increasing) meltdown, I believe. This is part of why I believe he'll be 'martyred' before the 2008 general election. It's their only strategic 'out.'

27. Um, yes--he does. But he also should not be allowed to
speak before he consults with his writers. He is truly the most inarticulate man in the universe.

White House. We know of only 365 falls and spills...How many were unreported? 87716253746500191817254108986?

32. You know his mother, "Barbara Bear Bush" once said she didn't like
thinking about the wars her husband started because she didn't want to "disturb her beautiful mind". If Barbara had a beautiful mind, it would be the only beautiful part of her, but methinks she flatters herself overly much, as does her idiot Sonofva Bush.

39. I think he actually hates himself ...
and that's the problem.

All his actions and bravado are just trying to beat back that self-hate. Probably has something to do with his father.

41. This is an interesting theory--it could definitely have some
basis of truth, when you think about it.

:think:

I wonder if he and the old man (sr.) have had issues in regard to junior and what he was or wasn't achieving (prior to his stealing office of president)...

47. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred
(Apologies to Super Chicken, who I understand also drank a lot of Super Sauce.)

Look, dipshit, the American people didn't hire you for 41.6 weeks a year*. You were hired for 52 weeks a year. If you don't like the hours, why not do us all a favor and resign? Then you can lead your "balanced life" with your PlayStation or your bottle or Condi or whatever the hell you want to do. But until then, chimpy, your ass is ours. :grr:


*52 weeks minus the 20% documented as being shot to hell.
