Chimp Doing his Texas Auctioneer "Thang" Laughing on CNN! Hawking
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 12:14 PM by KoKo01
his Medicare Cuts making jokes in his most "down home" accent...without mentioning Katrina. There's no a cloud in his sky!

He's now mentioning Katrina. But he could care less. He says thanks for "Mobilizing the Assets." :eyes: Now he's telling people what to do when the "storm passes." In the meantime "America will Pray." In the meantime I want to talk about "Immigration here in this State" (Arizona)

The anchors had to cover his butt by saying "the President has already mentioned releasing some of the strategic oil reserves in an earlier announcement." :eyes:

OMG! I can't believe this Asswhole...he never fails to give the "finger" to American people. If this disgusting performance didn't wake folks up to him...nothing will.

11. just curious,is it really disingenuine, or maybe another regional dialect?
thanks for your expertise. Bluegrass is my reference, and I can't place his accent accurately.

18. Yes he does...and when he get's worked up his fake "down home accent"
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 12:40 PM by KoKo01
gets worse. Today it was the worst I've heard it. He was doing his "belly up to the Bar" thing where he's leaning over the lecturn and "talkin' to the Peeple." Cracking the same lame jokes about Laura being there and thanking people for putting up with his "Ennnteeroge" that he has to travel with.

He's looking really unhinged. I watched his speech last week to the National Guard which went on for over an hour with rambling on and on. The accent then was think but not as thick as today. And he's looking like he's wired both times...ready to flip out at any moment.

Or is he simply falling asleep drunk in the sun?

34. I am hoping, hoping, hoping for that public breakdown.
When he's out there without a net, trying to remember his lines, and someone goads him just enough.

It's going to be spectacular if it happens. Cannot wait.

I think he even said "rahther."

16. I can place his accent
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 12:39 PM by mulsh
its the same accent as psycho wanna-be cops and third rate military re-enactors, the kind who can never join a group, use when shooting the shit.

edit- he picked up in TANG and his steel trap mind never let it go.

It's consistent with sociopathic behavior. They study people around them for cues on how to act/behave.

25. It's quite clear the accent, like the rest of him, is phony
Thanks for the linguistic confirmation of the obvious, though.

He is no more a Texan than he or Hitler were Christians.

15. Rant
Folks,
I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one, but shrub did manage to call LA, MS a disaster area before the storm even hit. Yes, he has a fake accent. Yes, he spends too much time on vacation. Yes, he's the worst president ever. Yes, he's a major league a-hole. But occassionaly he gets something right. This time he did. I almost never agree with him, but constant negativity doesn't solve things, and, while it may fun to see him standing in the middle of a hurricane, it wouldn't help the people down there.

So what is your solution?

Any significance to the "rw" in your name? Just curious.

35. Welcome, but his doing one thing that he should do doesn't inspire awe.
He's so inept it's painfully embarrassing and, unfortunately, has awful real-world consequences. And LA would be in better shape without his dumbass decisions about FEMA and disaster mitigation money (cuts), not to mention sending NG troops to Iraq.

I think I see where you're coming from, but this master of low expectations doesn't get praise from me for doing his job right one time. We could use some real leadership.

17. He is.
He is absolutely a madman. There is no question about it.

Remember his little skit, looking for WMD's. He looked under the desk, I think he pulled out a sofa cushion to see if there were any there.

Now just watch him do comedy stunts about hurricane Katrina. He'll have lots of fun with this one.

24. He's sick in a really serious way. Can only speak to "friendly audiences"
talks like a drunk in a bar most of the time, repeats the same words over and over all about evil, terror, fear, kill, hate...on and on and on.

He didn't want the P-Resident job in the first place. But, he can't get out of it. That's gotta really unhinge someone with his lack of character and initiative.

23. It's pretty telling...
when you look at the current Louisiana (Blue State) hurricane crisis and compare it with Florida's (red / battleground / my brother re-elected) crisis two months before the 2004 election...

Fucktards.

as the Right Honorable Michael Dukakis.

The "friend" had wrote a book or something and had taped conversation with Bush & Co.
