Anyone else catch this sickening irony in last night's speech?

[SHRED]

---

In the Bush farewell speech:

"Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere."

1. How can he say such things with a straight face?

bush must be the most un-self-aware person in America. He clearly has no idea at all of what he has done to our country and our world.

A complete, total idiot.

2. Irony, indeed. He is completely unaware that he speaks of himself OFTEN. I noted this one:

"When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror."

He is acknowledging, subconsciously, both his "campaign of terror" AND ALSO that he and his cronies STOLE his elections (plural).

3. I almost spit out my beer when I heard that one

My girlfriend said "Why do you watch him when he makes you so mad?" I said it's like an accident, a morbid curiosity.

4. I'm just wondering why anyone here would want to catch last night's speech.

Did anyone here believe it would be enlightening or entertaining or that Bush would fall to his knees, repent, and beg forgiveness? Why watch it?

[SHRED]

7. I think it's a good idea, as citizens, to...

...monitor and watch these clowns for any new insights into what makes them tick so as to develop strategies to counter them.

But that's just me.

12. My guess is that most here would watch to have something to rant about,

but what new does anyone have to say?

[lunatica]

10. I was watching Keith Olberman and I thought it was just part of the program at first

Then I realized I wasn't getting angry and I was able to finish watching it so I could continue to watch Keith. And I wanted to see Keith's reaction.

14. I had meant to watch it, but forgot he was on, so

I missed it, but for me, it would have been a bit of entertainment coupled with the hope (futile, as it now appears) that he would grow a pair of balls and be a Man by admitting that he failed so many people in so many ways.

Eight long years, and he didn't learn a damned thing.


Now I'm glad I didn't waste my time.

[Thrill]

5. It was basically "I may not of been right, but I was never wrong"

[lunatica]

11. His 'I'm innocent as a baby' look plastered on his face is a giveaway

It's his supplicant look. But this time his right eye kept trying to wink in his habit of winking when he's pulling something off. He has always given himself away physically, from his strut to the way he holds his head to the ticks and smirks and eyebrow action. His facial expressions are part of his deceptive act and the first sign that he's uttering lies and that he's quite aware of it is the 'I'm so innocent' look. He had the same eyebrows turned up and the same supplicant look when he announced that he had just started war on Iran.

6. Guess he didn't read the footnote*

*"Unless it's ours/mine...."


That from the man who as governor of Texas executed more people than anyone in the last half-century.

The man has no shame. He is just foreskin, a bloodstain on our history.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

8. Same ol same ol...if they say it, you know they're really talking about themselves

:shrug:

9. A tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing

Being his last speech he wanted it to be full of the very thing he lacks. It reminded me of Henry Hyde's speeches, dripping with surreal idealism, coated in uber delusional soaring rhetoric. But falling flat because it was just written by some speech writer he pays to push words around to manipulate sentiment. Not one word of that speech was written or thought of by Bush himself.

Sentimental window dressing that Bush hopes goes down in history as one of the more memorable speeches, but which sentences fade with each succeeding word he uttered. After 8 years of speechifying he still can't read the words right, thus his utterings were just more of the same stumbling and bumbling he's always exhibited. He's never been quite good enough at pulling off the deception.

And the only reason Cheney was able to pull it off for so long was because he stayed out of sight and kept us in the dark about what he was doing. They aren't nearly as good at what they do as they think they are. That's the reason the world detests them.

13. Selective morality

[lunatica]

15. Can we now exit this looking glass world?

I feel we've been away from the reality based world way too long. Bye George, may we never have to live in your world again.
