He looked like a terrified toddler with a corn cob up his ass.

[Philosoraptor]

That's the first impression I got while watching the ape. First off, he was a nervous wreck, and he was somber, probably because they told him to be. Demeanor-wise, this was bush at his paranoid worst.

Gone was that fake look of confidence he always had pasted on his mug, replaced by a look of controlled panic. Like you look when a grizzly suddenly walks up on you.

He reminded me of the weary and dejected LBJ delivering basically the same speech about you know what. But overall, he was alarmingly creepy, like I've never seen him before. It was unsettling, disturbing, and it left me with a chill up my spine.

Just before he went on, chris matthews said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, here's our ONLY commander in chief'. When your so called commander in chief looks like this, it's officially time to worry.

1. Sad to say

When your so called commander in chief looks like this, it's officially time to worry.

But you are so right.

[Philosoraptor]

3. Is it o.k. to be alarmed yet?

I don't want to be hasty.

[Piperay]

2. Apt description

he certainly looked like something was stuck up his ass, he was so uncomfortable.

[bridgit]

4. that's all very fun, but he's clearly going to do whatever the hell he wants to do...

corncob up his ass or no

[Philosoraptor]

5. Fun?

I hear ya, it's about to get really fun around here. Frankly I'm starting to get a bit terrified.

[bridgit]

6. sure, that's been the case throughout, he's an idiot, he's a duuph, he's...

this he's that he's a poop butt dooty head, an asshole, a prick, a fill-in-the-blank...and now it's too fucking late; it is as though people are only now beginning to awake from some hazy-dreamy sleep walk after just now banging their chin on the coffee table in the dead of night: in the death of night: this guy is certifiable, and he is sitting in THEE most powerful chair in the soon to be wannabe free world again

7. I'm beginning to think America was drugged over the last 6 yrs.

Or I've been in the twilight zone. Maybe we've turned a dark corner.

[bridgit]

8. this vaunted 4th estate of ours, paid by the column inch and so pleased...

to get those invites to their A-list Georgetown cocktail parties have sold this nation down a rat hole for far less than "a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises"...

they have sold this nation down for their own fat-ass hides, their personal comforts and they are many, their pride, their stock porfolios...it has been; is, and remains a sickening display of greed, pride & avarice on the part of our so called free press that they continue to ask less than a handful of pertinent questions while lies fall in sheets from the sky like acid rain

[dbt]

12. HEAR! HEAR!

What bridgit says! It's a shame to waste such poetry on a nest of whores, but it's all true.

:argh:

Remember New Orleans

[sendero]

16. We are finding what I've always suspected..

... that Weimar Germany can happen anywhere. One terror attack is all it took to knock us off our facade of moral leadership.

[bridgit]

24. no one expects the spanish inqusition...

but i seen this bush kid coming

[B Calm]

11. and that's the scary part, because he don't know what he's doing!

[bridgit]

14. i'll tell you the scary part for me, interviews this evening with Evans...

his former treasury sec, and some other guy from poppy's WH, and other family friends (but not all) say he is the most firm-minded, steady, self assured, decisive thinker they have known in some 30 years of knowing him (all of which can be easily read as 'pig headed' too for that matter).......

.........that is fucking scary, when the rest of the world sees him as a dangerous intellectual slacker

[applegrove]

9. The library background made him harder to see...was that part of the

plan..to camouflage his face so people might just listen instead of reacting with disgust. My little TV didn't show his face or body language very well. Was that stageing?

[cboy4]

10. Yes, that was the most nervous he's ever looked delivering a

so-called speech.

Maybe God broke the news beforehand that he's going to hell for all of the innocent people he's killed and wounded?

[B Calm]

13. He's worried will send him to the Iraqi courts for his punishment!

[Philosoraptor]

15. Howard Fineman...bush looked SCARED.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16568507/site/newsweek/

Jan. 10, 2007 - George W. Bush spoke with all the confidence of a perp in a police lineup. I first interviewed the guy in 1987 and began covering his political rise in 1993, and I have never seen him, in public or private, look less convincing, less sure of himself, less cocky. With his knitted brow and stricken features, he looked, well, scared. Not surprising since what he was doing in the White House library was announcing the escalation of an unpopular war.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. BEST. THREAD. TITLE. EVAH.

[JHB]

19. Yeah, but it leaves you wondering...

...just how does Philosoraptor know what a scared toddler with a corn cob up his butt looks like?

:evilgrin:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. I'll give him the benfit of doubt...

...and assume he was one.

[Philosoraptor]

20. sung to the tune of "When I'm 64"

[deaniac21]

21. Hmmmmmm, I'd be afraid to say I knew what that looked like.

[WinkyDink]

22. With LBJ you knew there was a working brain behind the outward expressions.

[opihimoimoi]

25. THE CONTRITE BULLY?? his coaches fucked him up as usual

got him so wired he became unglued and melted in from of the cameras.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. LOL!

Poor George! He looks like he has a silver foot in his butt!

(kudos to the late Ann Richards)
