Chinpy's ole teachers and professors must be going nuts with SHAME
Especially the English and Speech teachers.

"I can't believe you passed that guy"

"I know but I had to...he was legacy"

3. Actually I think his teachers are saying "What happened to him?"
It's been discussed before on Du that he wasn't always this bad. There was a time, and not really that long ago, that he was at least normally articulate. If you can find any, listen to some of his speeches when he was running for Gov. in Tx. I still didn't like or trust him, but he could at least string coherent sentences together!

Something has happened in the last 7 years of so that has changed that.

There's a lot of speculation, and I have no idea who's right, but something is definitely wrong with him, medically and psychologically in the recent years.

6. The dry drunks cannot stand pressure
They disassociate themselves and say "be happy". This is what W has done. The worst type of president we could have in these times.

20. I've seen the video clips of his debate with Ann Richards
and yeah, he looked amazingly sharp and slick.

He's either just SO lazy that he's been cruising since becoming Preznit in 2000 and doesn't even try to sound articulate or, as some have theorized, there's some deteriorating mental capacity at work.

4. PBS had a pre-election feature on Bush.
In it, they stated that before going to Yale, his mother Barbara gave him a copy of Roget's Thesaurus.

On arrival, Bush was asked to write a short essay about an event that had moved him in his life. Bush chose to write about the death of his sister at age seven. Seeking a synonym for "tears", he resorted to the Thesaurus. The result in the essay was this:

"Lacerates of sorrow ran down my cheeks".

True story.

9. Harvard Prof: Bush was a Total Shit (paraphrase) of a Student, Person...
Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 11:00 PM by Octafish
...Professor Yoshi Tsurumi remembers the little turd from Crawford being a callow ignoramus with feelings of superiority and a hint of sociopathy. The prof's own words:



President George Bush and the Gilded Age

Yoshi Tsurumi (Professor of International Business, Baruch College, the City University of New York )

EXCERPT...

At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism." Recently, President Bush's Federal Appeals Court Nominee, California's Supreme Court Justice Janice Brown, repeated the same broadside at her Senate hearing. She knew that her pronouncement would please President Bush and Karl Rove and their Senators. President Bush and his brain, Karl Rove, are leading a radical revolution of destroying all the democratic political, social, judiciary, and economic institutions that both Democrats and moderate Republicans had built together since Roosevelt's New Deal.

Former HBS Prof Blasts Bush

Business scholar says president was 'shallow,' 'flippant' in 1970s class


Published On Friday, July 16, 2004 12:00 AM
By SIMON W. VOZICK-LEVINSON
Crimson Staff Writer

EXCERPT...

Tsurumi also said Bush displayed a sense of arrogance about his prominent family, including his father, former U.S. President George H.W. Bush.

didn’t stand out as the most promising student, but...he made it sure we understood how well he was connected,” Tsurumi said. “He wasn’t bashful about how he was being pushed upward by Dad’s connections.”

Tsurumi said that the younger Bush boasted that his father’s political string-pulling had gotten him to the top of the waiting list for the Texas National Guard instead of serving in Vietnam. When other students were frantically scrambling for summer jobs, Tsurumi said, Bush explained that he was planning instead for a visit to his father in Beijing, where the senior Bush was serving at the time as the special U.S. envoy to China.

In addition, Tsurumi is still sore about what he recalls as Bush’s slight to his cinematic taste. When he arranged for students to view the film of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath during their study of the Great Depression, Tsurumi said, Bush derided the film as “corny.”

SNIP...

“I always remember two groups of students,” Tsurumi said then, according to published reports. “One is the really good students, not only intelligent, but with leadership qualities, courage. The other is the total opposite, unfortunately to which George belonged.”

12. You need to read Bush on the Couch, if you haven't already.
It's an interesting psychological explaination of why Shrub is like he is. And it's not ALL his drinking etc. It really goes back to the environment he was raised in.

14. Thanks, napi21! Will do. Remember the reading material at Kennebunkport?
From Kitty Kelley's "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty"...


But, as one of W.'s Yalie frat brothers tells Kelley, it's not the substance abuse in Bush's past that's disturbing, it's the "lack of substance ... Georgie, as we called him, had absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn't interested in ideas or in books or causes. He didn't travel; he didn't read the newspapers; he didn't watch the news; he didn't even go to the movies. How anyone got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me." New Yorker writer Brendan Gill recalls roaming the Kennebunkport compound one night while staying there looking for a book to read -- the only title he could find was "The Fart Book."


The adoration of money and power, combined with the sick mom and dad, and the tragedy of losing a sibling, it's no wonder Smirko is pyscho.

I'm getting "Bush on the Couch" ASAFP. It'll help me cope with what may be coming...

10. Well they can accurately now state: "anyone can be president"
A "C" student can safely rebel and say, "my marks aren't that bad,
I can still be President".

*big sigh*

15. They Know What They Did. It Shouldn't Be Shame
It should be guilt. He was a poor student, who didn't learn anything, and they gave him C's because his family was rich and he was a legacy. They're culpable. If they feel shame, they should be ashamed of THEMSELVES!
The Professor
