I see the pain, rage & fear in bush's eyes & I like it.

[Philosoraptor]

I watched him again yesterday, appearing with the puppet leader of Afghanistan, and bush as usual is exploding in slow motion, on live t.v., but the inevitable meltdown hasn't happened yet, but its oh so close.

His body language lately is painful but enjoyable to watch, the podium leaning is worse, the pointing, the red faced responses to the reporters he loathes so much, the man is in pain, and terror, and the rage he feels at all of us for not loving him unconditionally is so obvious in his demeanor.

This is how all episodes of The Twilight Zone end, the big blow up and awful punchline, the madness comes full circle, as does the karma.

He truly is about to blow, he's a tinder box, smoldering and sulking and behind the scenes I'll bet he's just a pain in the ass to be around.

He's gotten his way on everything, all his life, he doesn't like to be told no, and the brat is coming absolutely unglued mentally. He is not man enough to handle what he's wrought, someone qualified maybe ought to take his place, you know he wants to step down, but they won't let him.

Suffer on you insufferable prick, I enjoy watching you squirm in your final miserable days as the top celebrity in the world, eat it raw and like it dipshit.

One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.

1. I actually see no pain in his eyes. He couldn't care less about all of the

damage and death and suffering he has caused.

However, yes, he is an extremely angry person on the point of a violent meltdown because he has never been this challenged.

Lets hope the cameras are rolling when he starts swinging at reporters.

[Philosoraptor]

2. most folks expect a total psycho breakdown

Man I hope I catch it, but if I don't, it'll be replayed throughout all history.

[radfringe]

17. I caught the news clip

of bush saying he's going to release the NIE report.. so people can read it for themselves..

borderline temper tantrum? I half expected him to go rushing out the room, come running back with an armful of papers and throw them at the press...

[July]

21. I wonder what a shrink would say.

With all we know about Bush -- his family history, his failures, his choices and behaviors since stealing the presidency, I'm wondering what classic "type" he may fit, and if those types follow a predictable path when their dysfunctional ways stop working for them at all. I've got the popcorn, just want to know when I should throw it in the micro!

[radfringe]

25. something else I'd like to see

some DEM leader or big name DEM come out and say:

Why can't this administration take responsibility? Think about it - after 5 years of being in charge, and having their party controlling congress - they still blame President Clinton for everything from the the extinction of the dinosaurs to my neighbor's cat having kittens...

[barbtries]

36. my money's on

a narcissistic personality disorder

[magellan]

3. It's too bad the CM don't harp on about the lunatic king's anger

...the way they do Clinton's. Maybe it's because unlike Clinton, it's typical for Bush** to sneer and snipe at journalists and generally behave like a spoiled child.

[raccoon]

31. Exactly, I thought that when Brian Williams mentioned Clinton's

temper.

And the dipsh1t MSM are quiet as the grave about Bush's temper and bratty ways.

[democrank]

4. Watching Bush unravel

is like watching the schoolyard bully after the kids he has taunted and abused decide they`ve had enough.

[tsuki]

5. Imagine what his state would be if he had had to face a real press

corp for the last 5 years.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

29. If we had a real press corp Gore would be president

Bush probably wouldn't have gotten the repug nomination in 2000 if they knew the press would ask real questions.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

30. If a bullfrog had wings . . .

He wouldn't bump his ass all day.

[luckyleftyme2]

6. check out the puppet

Hamid Karzai is western educated and has a history cooperating with the cia for years.
Is this why the rest of the world thinks we set up puppet governments?
there certainly seems to be some key ingredients in his back ground to make an average guy wonder.
What do you think the odds are that he worked for an oil company? duh yup your right.
takes a real simpleton to figure this one out!

[liberal N proud]

7. That is nothing but rage in his eyes

His heart, if he has one, is full of rage because he is not getting he way all the time these days.

[Philosoraptor]

8. "Lemmee finish"! "No 10 part questions", "The people need to understand"

angry angry angry all the time here lately, and they talk about Bill being angry

[BlueEyedSon]

13. Yeah, getting through interviews & press confs must be TORTURE for him

these days....

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

32. ...they talk about Bill being angry...

More projection from the RW.

Most of the RW leaders could afford therapy.

Why don't they work some of these things out with a shrink, so they don't have to act out in such planet destroying ways?:shrug:

[bdamomma]

20. I just hope we are not in the line of fire when bush blows

the guy is just mentally unbalanced, I only wish more people (not us here) see it and do not ignore his mannerisms any more.

[intaglio]

9. What I see is the anger of the impotent

The consequences of his actions are catching up with him.

His decision to run for President with Cheney to do the actual management duties leaving him as figurehead; now he knows where the buck stops and it isn't down the chain of command, it stops at the top.

The dependence on Rove to spin unpalatable truths is failing as lie piles upon lie and as cracks appear in the structure they are beginning to spread more rapidly. Like any structure made of substandard materials the repairs eventually become so great a part of whole that the patchwork harlequinade crumbles at the slightest touch.

The belief of himself, Cheney and Rumsfeld that the military can be managed like a business and that actual military experience, somewhere near the top, is unnecessary. He ought to have looked at history on that one. Both Rome and the British Empire tried that sort of military management and it failed.

He has made a deal with the Devil; not like Faust out of intellectual arrogance; but like Don Giovanni from ignorance, foolishness and self-agrandisement. B*sh has heard the first creaks as the Commendatore (in the form of the Constitution he so derides) begins to move. Despite this he cannot repent or even admit fault. He will be feign defiance until at the last moment he is carried off to the pit screaming and weeping that he is not responsible for his failures or failings.

[WinkyDink]

24. THIS? Is an AWESOME post! LOVE the final paragraph's allusions.

[July]

26. Your analysis reads so well, intaglio.

Love the Faust vs. Don Giovanni analogy. Can't wait for that last scene.

[bklyncowgirl]

10. This may be the first time he's had to deal with consequensquences

Poppy and his Power Pals always cleaned up after George. They fixed DUI tickets, got him out of Vietnam and made sure that he always got away, fortune intact, every time he decided to play CEO and ran a company straight into into the ground.

Now lil' George has created a mess that even Poppy and his Power Pals can't clean up. This is a new experience for him.

It's a sadistic pleasure to watch him become unhinged. If he wasn't dragging the rest of us down with him, I'd truly enjoy it.

I do hope, however, that they have procedures to keep a mentally ill president away from the launch codes--that could get ugly.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. I wish he'd hurry up and blow. Bring on the men in white coats!

[City Lights]

12. I hope he blows during a live press conference so it can't be

covered up.

I see a toddler, infuriated that he can't have his way on everything. I see so much shit leaking out his and other replug asses that the cleanup crews, even working 24/7, can't keep up with their chore.

My greatest hope is that when the lid finally blows and their lies can no longer be hidden, the damage to the replugs is so great that they are kept out of office for a generation. :fingerscrossed:

[MiniMe]

28. And then Babs will come out and blame the democrats for it

Babs: " They just pushed my poor baby boy too far. They shouldn't have asked him any questions or disagreed with him"

:rofl: :rofl:

[Timbuk3]

14. You know...

...I don't disagree that the torturer in chief is suffering mental anguish. It's obvious if you watch him. And there is a certain level of satisfaction at seeing it.

But let's remind ourselves that this lunatic has his finger on the nuke-ya-ler button, and has the power to order the bombing of Iran, not to mention I've seen no indication that anyone around him would even try to stop him.

It's time for congress to do their job and remove a mentally incompetent President from office.

[malaise]

15. Maybe you should waterboard his

sorry ass and see if we can get some truth out of that war criminal.
Waterboard Bush!!!

[bdamomma]

23. cheney and rummy and rove should not be left out either

[radfringe]

16. something I haven't heard from any DEM leader

we are seeing alot of "blaming Clinton"....again...

anyone hear any commentator, talking-head, DEM leader, Dem candidate even mention ON CAMERA that it's kind of sad that 5 years later the bushies are still avoiding accountability and responsibility by blaming Clinton for their screw-ups?

[midnight]

19. It is so amazing. Someone with more skill for digging up old

news clips should find a press interview that Madeline Albright gave as the Clinton administration was handing over the White House to the incoming Bush administration. She could not stress enough that this world that the Bush adm. would be residing over, was not his daddy's world any longer. She made it very clear that much had changed in the world.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

33. Help with quote about reality please.

Didn't somebody at the WH acuatllly say something like:

"We're an empire now. We make our own reality."

Please help me out here.

[mcscajun]

37. Here ya' go, complete with link.

Consider this quote from back in December, 2004 attributed to an unnamed senior adviser to Bush:

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30F1EF93A5F0C748DDDA90994DC404482

Although the NY Times requires Select membership to get to the full article, I think you've got what you wanted in the full quote above.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

39. Thank you. Hubris indeed.

nm

[mcscajun]

40. Can't you just SMELL the condescension in that little speech?

It positively REEKS of it.

[lonestarnot]

18. Repiglican thinks he can throw money at all his problems and

see them dissipate into obscurity. Not this time monkey breath! You are busted and I hope your anger eats you alive. Americans will approve of THIS torture, wait and see.

[Vinca]

22. Pain? I don't think so. Rage? Maybe alcohol induced.

Fear? What's to be afraid of . . . in the end he's taken care of his cronies and he's set for life. Maybe you're confusing his reaction with a spoiled, rich kid throwing a tantrum.

[YOY]

27. Let's just hope he blows at a convinient time

and not just before his ass is out the door... I'd hate to see him throw our troops in Iran and just 'let the Dems deal with it..."

[Irreverend IX]

34. Eventually, the neocons are going to ditch him.

He's a little tin god, groomed for the world's highest office. And despite the fact that he spends most of his time being buffeted around by forces beyond his control, he likes sitting in the big chair. But this can't go on forever; unlike some DUers, I strongly doubt that the neocons want to extend his presidency beyond 2008. He's become a liability for them and is discrediting their entire ideology by association. They need a more appealing spokesperson, and they need for Bush to quietly disappear and spend the rest of his days emceeing the "I Ain't Racist or Nuthin But I Cain't Stand Them Coloreds" Republican bingo tournaments for retired right-wingers.

But I wonder whether Bush is willing to go quietly into that good night. Wouldn't it be heartwarming if, with his time at the top of the world drawing to a close, Daddy's little boy does something on his own for the first time in his life and revolts against his handlers? Imagine Dubya trying to set up a crisis situation and cancel the election while the PNAC crew are shitting bricks and exposing their agenda to the public in the most embarrasing of ways as they try to stop Bush's power grab. Well, here's hoping...

[barbtries]

35. better come soon

already so many premature dead. already so much more want and suffering. already too much wrong made to look right. what they've gotten away with already...you're so right. motherfucker cannot hurt enough for me.

[lpbk2713]

38. KO was right. He's a petty little man who can't accept responsibility

for his actions. Now let's hope he holds his breath until the whole world apologizes to him.

[Jade Fox]

41. The deterioration of Bush's looks.....

over the last six years speaks volumes about the stress he is under. And like you, I feel no sympathy. He hasn't watched his family bombed to death, as many Iraqis have. He deserves all the stress in the world.

When you look at clips of Bush six years ago, he looks 25 years younger. Now, his beady little eyes seem to be sinking right into his head.

[Raffi Ella]

42. Ha!This thread is AWESOME!!!!

I swear to God I was Laughing Outloud yesteray watching that smarmy little man twist and turn all red faced up at the podium.It was the First time I've been able to watch him in a very long time.

K&R cuz it's been a VERY Good Week!!! :kick:
