The reason Bush looked so bad last night--

[monarch]

war presidents lose sleep over the soldiers who have died that day-- Seriously, Michael Beschloss just said that on MSNBC just now.

[WI_DEM]

1. Michael Beschloss is a RW idiot

Bush loses no sleep over soldiers who die.

[Benhurst]

5. Beschloss is such a sorry excuse for a historian.

What a stupid thing for even him to say!

[Virginia Dare]

10. Indeed, he should be ashamed,

but he probably has no conscience, as long as the checks keep rolling in.

[bdamomma]

6. no he hasn't gone to one dead soldiers funeral either

Bush just thinks about Bush and oil.

[eleny]

2. After W said he gets lots of sleep

:eyes:

[LSparkle]

4. Really -- I've never known a president (in my lifetime) to sleep so much

He supposedly takes a nap in the afternoon, too! (Sounds like something Ike would have done ... )

[Jackpine Radical]

9. Ike was an honest-to-God human being. He was real.

He knew and hated war. He was the last decent person elected as a Republican President.

[dchill]

11. I didn't know that "Ike"...

was Reagan's nickname!
:)

[Jackpine Radical]

18. You think Reagan was decent?

I thought he was a shallow, heartless empty suit who knew how to play an affable role.

[mentalsolstice]

25. Dchill was referring to Reagan's frequent naps

and that there had been a president since Ike that slept a lot.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Thanks for explaining that.

I had totally lost track of the discussion for a minute there.

[dchill]

29. "shallow, heartless empty suit..."

Now who's being too kind? ;)

[dchill]

28. ThankYOU for explaining THAT.

I never meant to honor Ronnie in any way. :)

3. Bush said he sleeps well

if I remember correctly.

[dchill]

8. Yep...

thanks to the booze and drugs. And that's why he looks so bad.

[formercia]

13. Mother's little helpers.

Doctor, please, some more of these
outside the door, she takes four more...

[Virginia Dare]

7. Beschloss is either a liar, or a fool and an idiot then,

and I will never believe a word that comes out of his mouth again. His knowledge and his intellect are crap to me.

Bush looked bad because he's severely mentally incapacitated and barely kept functioning on a cocktail of drugs that probably includes hefty doses of imitrex and ambien, intermixed with the increasingly frequent overindulgence in alcohol.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. I beg to differ. Bescholss is not

"either a liar, or a fool and an idiot."

He is a liar, AND a fool, and an idiot. These are not mutually exclusive categories, as witness our beloved Pretzeldunce.

[Virginia Dare]

14. I stand corrected....n/t

[maxsolomon]

15. 9 pm is past his bedtime

seriously. he turns in @ 8 o fucking clock.

i'm up at 6. i turn in at 11, 11:30. 7 hours.

when does he get up, 2? 3?

[Dulcinea]

21. My 5-year-old sleeps less than that.

He sleeps as much as a kid 2 or 3 years old! He's not still growing, so what's his excuse?

[Patiod]

26. Well, at least he's awake more than my cat.....

but then again, what sentient creature isn't...

[seabeyond]

16. it was PAST his bedtime. goes down before 9. he gets tons of sleep

hell of a lot more than i do. more than my to 11 and 9 yr old does. cant hardly get them to close eyes before 9 no matter how hard i try

[uppityperson]

17. k&r for sheer madness.

[gatorboy]

19. He looked so bad because he knew he had to sell the Iran plan.

For Cheney and fellow cronies.

[The Count]

20. * begs to differ. His statement:

“I must tell you, I'm sleeping a lot better than people would assume,” Bush said.

[Norquist Nemesis]

22. I think its part of his strategy to get sympathy

If I were inclined to check into RW hate radio over the next few days, I'd bet there's a growing "are people being to hard on the President? Are Democrats just being mean to get a pound of flesh?" beginning in the echo chamber.

[lovuian]

23. He looked Older and frailer and I agree that you

can't control the Unconcious that realm is uncontrollable
when you are responsible for taking lifes

it takes its toll on your soul

Bush has a large track record

[opihimoimoi]

30. He looked scared shitless

[Mrs. Ted Nancy]

31. The rude pundit said

that he looked like Stephen Hawking without the emotion.

Can't argue with that observation.
