[Stephanie]

This comments thread is wide open, but you would think you were reading DU. Looks like it's really becoming clear to folks that this Little Emperor has no clothes.

Bush, you stated you were satisfied that we caught Saddam. I want you to know you were the only one satisfied. The only thing that will satisfy me is to bring my people back home now. I do not want you as a President any more and I will not be satisfied until you step down.

I mean you no harm, you are part of my country.However, I only wish you would accept the truth of your mistakes, you President Bush is killing our American people. You put us in danger in more than one way. You started by killing our children and by bringing the danger home. Its all about your decision and not about seeking wisdom and humbling yourself before GOD. You are one man, and who are you listening to yourself?? Or are you having voices that are guiding you?? You are making me wonder, you started out good, seeking the counsel of GODly men...I am not sure who you are listening to at this point. You should have looked at Saddam execution and you need to look at all the boys of America deaths, over and over again until you become human again. Well this is my opinion and the good part is having been born an American.. I am allowed the freedom of speech.

[Dinger]

1. Seems There Are Some Who Are Whining That * Was referred To As "Mr."

Wah wah wah. Cry me a rivier!:rofl:

[The Witch]

2. coupla freepers now there

apparently calling him "mr bush" is the height of disrespect. :eyes: Waaaay more disrespectful than sending 3,000 people to their deaths for nothing.

[MuseRider]

5. HA!

I've got one for them much worse than Mr. but I think I will not torture them, it must be hell as it is watching his administration implode. I do have a little humanity left after the last 6 years.

[Eric J in MN]

6. The standard format in newspapers is to first

...call him "President Bush" and then "Mr. Bush" for the rest of the article.

[Bear down under]

64. Am I right in thinking that...

...it's actually incorrect to call him "President Bush" until after he's dead or at least has left office? I have always understood that the formal title of a reigning POTUS is "the President", without his name, followed in subsequent references (or less formal contexts) by "Mr Bush" -- and that he is addressed as "Mr President", not as "Sir". (Though I suppose foreign Heads of State could claim precedent and call him "yo, Bush!" or "Bushy-poo" ... )

[Oeditpus Rex]

71. Some newspapers do that

Notably the New York Times, which traditionally affords Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss honoraria to its subjects.

Associated Press style, which most newspapers use, calls for "President Bush" on first reference. In subsequent references, either "The president" (not capped) or "Bush" is acceptable.

[SammyWinstonJack]

And calling President Clinton every derogatory name in the book wasn't?

What a bunch of whining hypocrites! They never get it, do they?

[tnlefty]

7. So I suppose "moronic MOFO" which is how the spouse and I

refer to him when the kids aren't around would really send them into a tizzy, eh?

[cool user name]

34. Moron-In-Chief is my preferred connotation ... n/t

[fooj]

50. Hell- I call him Little Lord Pissypants.

:P

[Stephanie]

52. thank you!

I think I might have invented that title! :)

[fooj]

65. Cool! Thanks. Hope you don't mind...

IMO, it's the best fit.

:thumbsup:

[Stephanie]

69. I am delighted!

It's one of my proudest achievements to date!

[proud2BlibKansan]

76. I call him el pretzeldente

[dflprincess]

3. I liked this comment

Scott Pelley asked about the democrat plan.

What about the republic plan, Scott? Do the republics have a plan, Scott? Scott, who's the decider Scott? Is it the democrat or the 'public plan, Scott?

Jeez, what a charade.

[Warpy]

4. The Koolaid drinkers are weighing in now

probably because some lurking Freeper read the OP.

They're not getting any smarter, though.

[yorkiemommie1]

8. No kidding!

Some are absolutely laughable!

[mavoix]

35. The funniest one was

this one:

My 11 year old son was crying durring the speach, we usually don't let the boy's watch CBS (Janet JackSIN and Supper bowl nudity) but our commandor in chief was on and I home school so we used it for currant event's anyhow halfway through the interview my oldes t (11) got rweal quiet like and his ear's got read and then I saw big tear's rolling down his cheak and he said "Ma! There is a GREAT GREAT man!" CUTE OR WHAT! =) Out of the mouth of babe's! Someone is geting extra cake for desert tomorrow!

He's being home schooled? That explains a lot about the intelligence of Bush's apostles.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

44. No way, that HAS to be made up

Then again, I still can't believe this man is still president, so I suppose I can believe there are 11 year olds that see Bush as a "GREAT GREAT man!"

My son, also 11, would no doubt have commented, "Ma! There is a STUPID STUPID man!"

My husband saw a post on one of his forums today (a non-political forum) that suggested Bush speaks like a man who has had several strokes.

[Stephanie]

55. well that's interesting

Someone I knew suffered a premature stroke due to cocaine abuse.

[frogcycle]

66. yeah,

he had several strokes while watching the hanging on "the internets" over and over, until his hand got tired

[CatWoman]

53. ROFL!!!

The blind leading the deaf, dumb and stupid :rofl:

[Contrary1]

57. Methinks this poster

was not being serious. Just trying to make the Bushies look even more ridiculous.

...or would that be redecules?

[sam sarrha]

22. KoolAid drinkers... it is time for the cyanide.. do it right or shut the F***UP

[eleny]

9. I'm watching the British House of Commons instead

Once again, you can't help but imagine W crumbling under the stress of questions if he were in a similar system as the British.

[Greeby]

12. I wouldn't bank on it

If you pay close attention to the questions of the Labour backbenchewrs, you'll notice they are as sycophantic as a Shrub campaign rally

[eleny]

19. Sure, some of them are definitely softball or humorous

But others are definitely the kind of jabs that would get under W's very thin skin. Frankly, I don't think W is quick minded enough to even understand when some of the questions are softballs. I believe he'd whither under the framework.

[tnlefty]

41. And the absolute rowdiness!

I've watched before when I've heard comments like 'is he absolutely daft'? I agree with you Dimson** couldn't handle it.

[rockymountaindem]

10. This one made me shake my head...

"My 11 year old son was crying durring the speach, we usually don't let the boy's watch CBS (Janet JackSIN and Supper bowl nudity) but our commandor in chief was on and I home school so we used it for currant event's anyhow halfway through the interview my oldes t (11) got rweal quiet like and his ear's got read and then I saw big tear's rolling down his cheak and he said "Ma!

Posted by becky_wwjd at 09:21 PM : Jan 14, 2007

Yeah... good one :eyes:

[bigwillq]

11. "ear's got read"

Boy, do they know how to spell?! :rofl:


And this woman home schools? :wtf:

[Stephanie]

13. Most of the people who home school shouldn't..

We're going to have a whole generation of home schoolers with no grasp of grammar, or civics. A co-worker home-schooled her teenagers and I remember having to explain to her that the Supreme Court was a lifetime appointment, This was by way of tryng to coax her to vote, when clearly I should have been encouraging her decision not to.

[girl gone mad]

67. Before you go lumping home schoolers..

into the "stupid" category based on a message on the internet, maybe you should take a minute to do some critical thinking. That post was clearly a joke.

[Stephanie]

70. I said "most," and I don't see how it's clearly a joke

What makes you think it is?

[PassingFair]

84. Steph.....

It reads like an Onion piece!

It's FUNNY!

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Moran!

:evilgrin:

[globalvillage]

15. Her kid's ears got read?

Well, give him more cake, becky_wwjd, and put some currant events on that, would ya?

This person home schools her kids? Oh man, we're screwn!

[yorkiemommie1]

16. that was the one that got me!

oooh....extra CAKE for dessert!

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Extra cake for desert!

:rofl:

[yorkiemommie1]

37. yeesh !!

i gave her a pass on that one! :rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

43. But was it YELLOW cake??? Inquiring minds want to know.

[eleny]

23. Wanna bet that some White House hack wrote that drivel?

[rockymountaindem]

75. I'd put a ten-spot on it. n/t

[Ladyhawk]

81. I don't know. It's so stupid maybe an intelligent liberal

did it for shits and giggles?

[eleny]

87. Hahaha!!!!!!!!!

[laststeamtrain]

25. "Someone is geting extra cake for desert tomorrow!"

Fat & stupid is no way to go through life but I'm afraid this kid's headed that way.

[magellan]

79. LOL

:spray: Darn it, I just cleaned my screen too!

[SeattleGirl]

27. I was rolling my eyes over that one too. Jeebus.

Extra cake for desert. Yeah, lady, thanks for turning out yet another blind moran. :eyes:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

28. extra cake for "desert"

oh, just kill me now.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

45. He'll need some extra cake when Bush sends him to the desert!

Maybe that's what she meant.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

46. Yeah, he'd better eat up now.

Cuz sonny-boy is cannon-fodder in a few years.

This is some scary reading.



:scared:

[cool user name]

38. OMG, rockymountaindem!

She home schools her son and can't construct a proper paragraph? The grammar in that post is appalling!

"supper bowl nudity?"
"his ear's got read?"
"cheak?"

:wtf:

Is that a parody?

Too funny!

[TahitiNut]

39. Parody

Words spelled correctly: usually watch chief through interview quiet tomorrow

Some sentence construction suggests parody, too.

:shrug:

[fishnfla]

49. yep

[jgraz]

42. And as the kid watched the WTC collapse

He turned to his mother and said, "Thank God George Bush is president."

[Manifestor_of_Light]

51. oh my GAWD....

Horrible grammar, horrible spelling, apostrophe abuse.
NOTE: Words that end in "S" do NOT always need an apostrophe. That's a flying comma for dummies.

"Currant events"??? Raisins? What's new with raisins?

Jesus didn't teach em no good grammer, dat's fo' sho'.

[slj0101]

56. becky_wwjd???

:rofl:


Sounds like someone's playing...

[Contrary1]

58. I think a lot of them are playing...

THE BRIDGE GROOM COMETH BACK FOR HIS BRIDE!!!!!!111 ARE YOU ENGAGED????? STAY STRONG MR. BUSH WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU!!! WE ARE *RAPTURE* READY COME LORD JESUS, PRAISE YOU AND PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!11111 AMEN!!!!

Posted by kallmekammy at 09:13 PM : Jan 14, 2007

[buzzard]

68. Extra cake for 'desert' I would suggest served with 'currant events'.n/t

[WiseButAngrySara]

17. Yeah, like this one? "Democrat (sic) Hack Water Bearer"

I've never seen more rude questioning and so many questions prefaced with "many people think." The interview was contemptible. Scott should just put "Democrat Hack Water Bearer" on his fat forehead.

Scott Pelley...go F yourself.

18. glass half-full, look at how many have lost faith in the Liar-in-Chief

I started watchin that and he said i personally sign all those letters to the family memebers of casualities. I find that very hard to believe. How he puts his nose in the air and and his facial expressions i am so seroiusly weak to my stomache and i am for this more troops stuff but him i cannot handle. He can try try and try to understand what these family members of soldiers go through but u can't u don't live in there shoes. It's easy i understand for us to critize our presdient it could b anyone in his position it's just the way he acts and handles things that i can't handle anymore.
Posted by lynnhemric at 08:47 PM : Jan 14, 2007

[bleever]

32. That one's pretty eloquent.

I feel as though I can actually hear her saying it.

I have more pity than anger for people who've been suckered by this six year charade.

[Ladyhawk]

82. I vacillate between pity and anger.

I have a hard time with the fact my entire family is pro-Bush, except for maybe one cousin. I'm at the point where I just want to sit in a corner and sob for the rest of my life.

[WiseButAngrySara]

61. I went back and read the entire thread. It was astounding to

me that a definite majority of the posts were negative. Very encouraging.

[Stephanie]

62. thanks

that's what I saw but I didn't have the patience to read the whole thing. I got the definite message that the tide is turning in the nation-at-large.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Most of the comments roasted Bush.

But here are my favorite freepazoid remarks:

"My 11 year old son was crying durring the speach, we usually don't let the boy's watch CBS (Janet JackSIN and Supper bowl nudity) but our commandor in chief was on and I home school so we used it for currant event's anyhow halfway through the interview my oldes t (11) got rweal quiet like and his ear's got read and then I saw big tear's rolling down his cheak and he said "Ma! There is a GREAT GREAT man!" CUTE OR WHAT! =) Out of the mouth of babe's! Someone is geting extra cake for desert tomorrow!"

:puke:

"THE BRIDGE GROOM COMETH BACK FOR HIS BRIDE!!!!!!111 ARE YOU ENGAGED????? STAY STRONG MR. BUSH WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU!!! WE ARE *RAPTURE* READY COME LORD JESUS, PRAISE YOU AND PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!11111 AMEN!!!!"

:rofl:

"The interview on 60 mins. with President Bush was very disrespectful of our President. This was an attack and a poor interview. This 60 min guy does not represent the opinions of the American people. This was his own personal view point. We should be thankful we have President Bush and stand behind him. He don't need a bunch of pit bulls barking at his heels adding to this very stressful job. If I hear him called Mr Bush one more time by the Liberal news , I think I will barf. He is our President so wise up before we have the enemy at our door step."

"When will CBS recognize that it is President Bush not Mr. Bush. I believe CBS continues to disrespect the office of the President just as Dan Rather did and for this CBS should be ashamed. Try to report the news and keep your opinions to yourselves. The american people can think for themselves."

S"cott Pelley and CBS News does not represent the country, as Mr Pelley so tried to present. I think that CBS news should report the news. Not try to make it. Sicking its big nose it an already stinking world and trying to make it smell even worse. Show the thousands of bones dug up where the Iraqi presedent had murdered. You think we should let that go? If we don't follow our leader you will not be able to go to your malls with safety. Get out of denile. Not out of Iraq. My son spent a year there. So I am not just spouting off. I held stock in that place with blood."

"Get out of denile." :rofl: A hugh!!1! moran, maybe?

[WiseButAngrySara]

59. ocelot, don't you think that the post with the CAPS and !!11!!!'s

was satire? I immediately thought that it must have been someone from DU, because that's the only place I've read what Freepers have written. This has to be satire, no? I'm series!!!111!!

THE BRIDGE GROOM COMETH BACK FOR HIS BRIDE!!!!!!111 ARE YOU ENGAGED????? STAY STRONG MR. BUSH WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU!!! WE ARE *RAPTURE* READY COME LORD JESUS, PRAISE YOU AND PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!11111 AMEN!!!!"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

63. I was wondering about that, expecially because of the !!11!!s

But you never know these days, because Freepers can be so over the top you can't imagine they are for real, and yet they are... And even if the comment was satirical, no doubt the real Freepers ate it up.

[WiseButAngrySara]

72. Truly bizzarro if it's real. ! ....n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

24. The comments are a sad reflection

of the inability of the American public to spell correctly. It is so incredibly disturbing to witness poster after poster betray their lack of language skills. :cry:

[Jackpine Radical]

26. I was gonna post something about how their ungrammatical

and illiterate attempts to communicate speak for themselves to any neutral, fairminded readers. Then I started wondering what percentage of the population would be able to detect the mistakes. Then I got depressed.

[Stephanie]

29. Yes but even the illiterate are now disgusted by Bush.

At least a lot more of them are. Maybe they can't spell, but they can tell when a man's lying to their faces.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

31. It is pretty depressing.

No way they can learn to think for themselves, if they can't read and write.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

33. Yes, depression mixed with sadness.

And if we allow Chimpy to invade Iran, knowing that we are "led" by a liar, all of us are culpable enablers of this regime. We become the terrorists.

[Generic Brad]

60. Brighten up

We're literate here.

[quiet.american]

30. A gem, "Get religion out of American politics and Americans out of a Religious war. " n/t

[Imagevision]

36. Bush is staying the course -- same ole schtick!

[monmouth]

40. Did you read the one from the dingbat who "home schools" her children???

Dear God, it would appear she didn't make it past the fith grade.

[Bluebear]

47. "With 9/11 as Revelation, (Bush), personally chosen by God, is about to lead us..."

'Bush hath taken on the Mantle of Leadership. I have never seen so much disrespect from an interviewer (call him MISTER?????), our Commander in Chief and Leader hath been chosen by the grace of God to lead us at a time like this. With 9/11 as Revelation, the President of the United States, personally chosen by God, is about to lead us, sisters and brothers, saints and sinners, into what hath been Promised and I for one am VERY greatful he is our leader.'

[Stephanie]

54. OMG

the poster might be correct, too, if the Little Emperor gets his way. we might see Armageddon sooner rather than later.

[jollyreaper2112]

48. damn

I was originally of a mind to say that we should NOT push for impeachment first. That would likely rally the wingnuts and it wouldn't pass the Senate anyway. My thinking (and what appeared to the be Dem strategy) was to say that they weren't going for impeachment but investigations. Then when the full weight of wrongness was on the table, they wouldn't be asking for impeachment, the American people would be demanding it. Much easier to make happen then.

Well, Bush just told Congress to fuck off. If that ain't impeachable, I don't know what is.

[proud2BlibKansan]

73. Wow check this out

He "personally signs every letter to the families of Americans killed in action". That's ***. My chin hit the floor when I heard him say this. Our son, SGT Justin D. Norton, was killed in Iraq this past June. We received many "signed" letters from strangers, state leaders, and people from congress. When we received a letter from the president it was evident it was just a "stamp" with Bushes name. Shame on you Bush. R.I.P. Justin www.justinnorton.net
Posted by fourenzsix at 11:52 PM : Jan 14, 2007

[Stephanie]

74. that's heartbreaking

imagine receiving that fake letter.

[proud2BlibKansan]

78. And then hearing him say he personally signs every letter

He is just the most despicable SOB ever.

Well maybe cheney is just as despicable.

[Stephanie]

77. click the link - so sad

poor baby - so sad for his family

[blogslut]

86. That poor family

They lost a child and that assh*ole gives them a shiny coin.

[walldude]

80. Reminded me of this...

And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, as I recall,
In a form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

-Pink Floyd The Wall
