Is anyone watching Chimp's Farewell?
Unbelievable. He's rationalized everything. He smirks. He thinks he was great.

One great question: If you wouldn't do anything different about Katrina, what needs to be done now?

He couldn't answer. More people need to get back in homes. That was it.

1. No. I thought this place was going a bit Koo-Koo.
All these one sentence threads, that made no sense out of context.

I can't be bothered. I like peace and quiet at least a couple of mornings a week.

2. I am and this man is one scarey guy
he is having an mental break as we watch, live television

"I don't know why, you need to ask the ones that use the words"

He snaps and he snarls and giggles and almost comes to tears.

Laura has been called down to the hallway where he will be entering when he leaves the podium, they have it ready to medicate him and put him in a rubber room.

:scared:

3. Haha. It just hit me for real. Why we shouldn't expect him to
be sorry for anything he did. That would be rational. If he was rational
he wouldn't have done all the shit he's done. So, I guess it's no
surprise - the man is totally delusional.

hey, did you catch him saying he doesn't drink anymore.

17. yeah, I caught that and I believe it
just like I believe he stop Israel from bombing Iran and Iraq had WMDs and that he cares.

I think we witnessed a psychotic break of sorts. That was so weird.

5. On Fixed Noise yesterday, he was completely delusional on his "legacy"
I have to flick the channel after about five minutes. I had it on mute when I returned a little later to see he and his Dad giggling and guffawing about who the hell knows what...

6. that was crazy
And Chris Matthews is going on and on about how "passionate" it was. Delusional is more like it. Jesus, it took someone from fucking POLITICO to say that Bush has blinders on.

12. The nation watched the travesty at the Superdome - those powerful images
will never be forgotten.

15. And more importantly, what happened to those 30,000 people?
As I remember it, they were dumped on bridges, overpasses, and the infamous Convention Center. It's certainly not the fault of the helicopter "drivers," but that what got people so upset, Mr. President... watching thirsty, hungry people in deplorable conditions and sweltering heat wait, and wait, and wait.

Asshole. Eight days is too long, if you ask me.

23. He presided over some spectacular carnage, no doubt about
that. The carnage was a direct result of his policy failures. He can rationalize and deny responsibility all he wants but it is his name history will use to identify the last eight years, not darth, rummy or kindasleazy.

10. It's a train wreck. The guy is a twitching bag of squirming delusions.

11. Ok - give him a pass on not responding as well as possible to Katrina
when it happened. But, what have you done for me lately. I've seen it. There are boarded up houses
still. People couldn't get enough insurance to cover. People are paying rent and mortgages. Once
they do rebuild - they may be living in a war zone near neighbors who couldn't rebuild.

For this dismissal since the storm - I will never, ever forgive.

14. Ya' know, he should have mobilized all resouces on hand
Edited on Mon Jan-12-09 10:37 AM by bluedawg12
and choppered into the Superdome food, water, medics, security, mortuary techs.

Those images of human beings treated worse than cattle in the US of A, made me cry then, and makes me angry even today.

16. Absolutely.
That's what we meant by "federal response," Chimpy. I'll never forget screaming and crying at my television during those dark and horrible days. "Why won't you help these people???!!??"

I'll also never forget Jack Cafferty during all that. He said, "Where is the water for these people? Why can't we get sandwiches to the Superdome and Convention Center?"

Exactly. The federal response was pathetic, Mr. Bush, and you paid for it, too. It's one of the main reasons I'll always call you President 24%.

19. He makes it clear each and every time that he could give less then
a shit about those people. I watched a frontline documentary the other night showing an old 84 year old man rebuilding his house with his own hands. We are disposable people to Bush.

20. True, except for the word "people". We are not "people" to this revolting psychopath. Indeed, no one
is.
HE'S A PSYCHOPATH.

see the footage of him leaving the whitehouse for good!

for the death of many thousands of innocent people!
