Finally! A defense of Bush that rings true.

[11 Bravo]

It's the "The dumb bastard didn't know anything about it. Do you think we tell that jug-eared little prick what's going on?" defense. I've got to admit, that sounds plausible to me.

1. I liked the one by Howard Fineman...

"If he's pleading ignorance, then he's got a lot of credibility there"...or words to that effect.

Great one-liner by Howard.:rofl:

6. Howard The Duck Nailed It Bigtime Last Night

The only telepundit who is seeing this as a Rovian ploy. For a longtime he was on my shitlist (especially during the Clinton Inquisition), but lately he's taken some wicked shots at this regime.

2. I like it

DBDNK = Dumb Bastard Did Not Know

3. So, who was going to use that little jug eared prick's veto?

What, they were going to borrow it and then put it back?

:rofl:

4. Why would deadeye tell him anything

What the hell does this say about us? we accept the morans* excuse that he didn't know anything because it sounds plausible.

[PBass]

5. Super lame excuse is going to be a losing approach

"The president was out of touch, and did not know."

AGAIN???

Who's driving this bus?????

7. Plausable Denability...This Regime's Best Friend

Since so many of this regime's supporters are ignorant, they can relate to the "Sargent Schultz" defense when this regime screws up. This is an attempt to detach their manchild from yet another scandal on his watch. By saying he doesn't know, this allows his enablers to use their time-worn chestnut that us mean, nasty Democrats just hate boooosh and that's what this is all about. It has nothing to do with national security, accountability, honesty, common sense or logic...it's just that we hate booosh.

[PBass]

8. I don't think so... This issue is going to trump almost everything

Team Bush have spent the last 5 years scaring the hell out of the public with Orange Alerts, false alarms, bogus 'we captured #3' reports, it goes on and on...

They set the stage for this fiasco, by scaring the public to death, just to win elections.

Now the public sees Bush selling out our ports (the outsourcing issue, something that everyone is already angry about) and even worse, it's a sale to our enemy.

This is a huge losing issue for the GOP. Huge!!!

11. Carefull...Watch Out For A Rovian Trap

The man's told us he's gonna ram the national security and terror issue up our butts and this is the first salvo. This phony issue is like the Gay Marriage Ammendment...it allows Rove to manufacture a phony controversy that takes the corporate media's chatter away from legitimate ones (spying) and allows him to spin the results.

Don't be surprised in the next couple days we hear there's a meeting of top "Congressional Leaders"...Frist, Hastert and so on with booosh...they all come out with this great "compromise". An American company will be found that will handle this big job and my bets are if you follow the money that American company will have connections to the Carlisle Group (as does Dubai Ports). This enables all these Repugnicans who are showing faux indignation on this deal to pretend they are distancing themselves from this regime and looking "tough on terror"...to allow them some distance from the scandals and Abramoff.

Don't fall for the trap of enabling this regime...look a little closer, read a little further.

Peace...

9. Don't give Bush credit for being stupid.......

.....he's NOT stupid at all. He knows precisely what he's doing and is doing it on purpose. This is all about three no so little things; money, more money, and the most money he can get his paws on. If Bush hasto sound/act stupid to get all the money he can in his pockets he will be laughing all the way to the bank while everyone else suffers through endless war and a depression.

[LondonReign2]

12. Correct. Stupidity is the cover in this case

The Repugs have decided it is better to portray the Chimperor as stupid and clueless (since so many alreayd see him that way) than as a corporatist whore who selling Amercia (which might upset the base a tad).

[rman]

10. ah, the good old incompetence theory

again

[PBass]

14. Well I certainly don't think Bush is infallible. Do you?

The guy has been the most incompetent president we've had in 100 years. Before he was screwing up the White House, he was a failed businessman. Don't misoverestimate him. These people screw up, the problem is that the media has been giving him a pass based on the "he's a regular guy" excuse. This time the media seems to be taking notice.

[rman]

16. he and his own - the haves and the have-mores -

do reap the profits of *'s 'incompetence'.
