A WTF moment

[LuckyTheDog]

During WWII, do you think FDR or Truman were concerned about having a "balanced life"?

8. Riiiight!

My bet is that, if FDR or Truman were on the job today, making time for mountain biking and having "personal space" probably would not a big priority for them, The nation was at war, for goshsakes. Their personal senses of fulfillment were secondary at best.

What kind of namby-pamby, metrosexual, pop-psychology, feel-good crap have they been telling Bush?

14. it's only a 'war' when it's convenient

otherwise, it's the 'democratization of Iraq." :eyes:

[slor]

2. Amen on that!

I am sure they would have never said it either.

3. Running the US Government during WWII basically killed FDR

I think if W had been President in 1941 we'd be speaking lots of German about now...

4. Death and torture must obviously be balanced.

Man has to go on vacation to balance that hard work.

[lonestarnot]

6. He has to "get on with his life" you know...

11. Which means "new plans"?

5. Bush rides again!!!

Lance Armstrong is going to go on a bike ride with Georgie Porgie. They are going to show this very important news coming up on CNN!!!!!!!!!! Don't miss it. LOL Shame on you Lance. You should both ride by and see Cindy if you were real men.

7. Yea I mean even if he wanted to avoid politics he could at least

just say "Hey I'm just here to hug a grieving mother nothing more" and be on his way that would be enough.

12. I may have been wrong to have thought so highly of Lance.

[Cyrano]

15. Lance is risking serious injury.

Anyone who would ride a bike next to Junior is at risk. After all, you never know in which direction he's going to fall off his bike. Then again, since the "ranch" is nothing more than a set, maybe he thinks that stunt doubles will be doing all the riding.

9. Definitely a psychotic interlude...

Consider that as Iraq melts down even further and the casualties mount, Chimpy is publicly boasting how healthy it is for him to ride his bicycle...although he's fallen off it onto his face more times than we can count, and the last time he went riding his gang didn't even bother to mention to him that the White House and Capitol were being evacuated in a panic.

By the way, even though Saddam didn't have WMDs, now the insurgents DO.

10. GOTTA see Rude Pundit's pimp-slap of that "pussy" excuse today...

at
http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/08/president-who-gives-shit-part-3.html

and I quote lovingly/admiringly/nay, even resentfully-that-I-can't-fuck-people's-shit-up-like-he-does, emphasis mine:

Because George W. Bush actually said this about his job as leader of this cobbled-together, problem-ridden nation, with its dead soldiers' mothers demanding some feint at the truth, "I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life," and then added, "I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy." What this bag of douche doesn't seem to get is that being President ain't about his life. It's about ours, motherfucker. And, frankly, we don't give a single fly fart's worth of concern about his balance. Fuck, howzabout imbalancing a little, huh? And where did the President go after he said this? A local Little League game. Well, shit, maybe he could give the kids a wink-wink lecture on steroid use.

In other words, the President's defense about not meeting with Cindy Sheehan is the whiny new age pussy excuse of yuppies everywhere - a balanced life, exercise, moving on. (And let's not leave out the easy answer here, which is that Cindy Sheehan really can't go on with her life, let alone Casey.)

What I wanna know is, when are the "respectable" pundits like this WaPo blog thingie going to link to Rudie?

16. kinda like how millions of americans need to balance their lives...

between 3 jobs? :shrug:

[onehandle]

13. "It's hard work."

Leave the "man" alone.

[EC]

17. That's because this guy

is a total Blue-Blood and believes his life is worth more than any commoner's life, or time...

[Fla Dem]

18. OMG, The arrogance and ignorance of that Sh-thead

I hope all those soldiers in Iraq are able to keep a balanced life. If he wanted a balanced life he should have become an acrobat, not president.

:grr: :banghead: :grr:
