1. K&R

[Muttocracy]

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. OMG... this is the worst performance ever

by a leader

[bjobotts]

21. completely out of touch with reality. Such a convenient memory too.

[bjobotts]

22. Bremer started the insurgency with decision to fire the Iraq army-from Bush

[bjobotts]

23. Not a word about charges that he is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

[bjobotts]

24. Stoned to death with shoes...how fitting.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

28. Not to mention their incompetence in

safeguarding munitions they used to make IED's

[HopeHoops]

37. #1 Worst part of working in the Bush Administration - the resume

"Um, could you explain this eight year gap in your employment history?"

"I was dressed in drag and stomping on feral kittens with red 8" spike heel hip boots in the streets of D.C., as a public service of course."

"Our records show you were employed in the Bush White House."

"NO! NO! I SWEAR - See! I even wore my boots to the interview! I SWEAR I was stomping on kittens. I don't even know who this Bush guy is!"

"We'll call you if we're interested."

[liberal N proud]

4. Chopper drivers and generoshity

It is really sad this deranged person was the President of the United States for 8 years.


GOOD RIDDANCE mr bu$h.

[bettyellen]

6. oh God did anyone mention his "speech impediment" , the delusional fuck doesn't think we see it??

[HopeHoops]

38. That speash impedsimens ish cald Jacks Danny, Dannel, Dannsby, um, JD.

Man is he drunk.

[RufusTFirefly]

5. In the spirit of 'generoshity'...

... I hope Bush didn't get too banged up when he fell off the wagon.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

35. Seconded...

[RufusTFirefly]

[Fridays Child]

[tinrobot]

10. I'm so glad I won't have to listen to this creep anymore.

[happygoluckytoyou]

11. some of them didnt like me...yeah... 86% of the usa... 92% of everyone else !!!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. K&R! Keith always nails it!

:applause::patriot:

[peacetalksforall]

13. He went from a puppet on strings to a bobbing head - to a bobbing head of a

boxer trying to avoid some punches to a drunken boxer trying to invite punches.

He's a kinesthetic wonder with the weirdest sneering lip that ever formed on a lip since Cheney.

He's the most embarassing President we've ever had.

Aressted development from his Yale days or earlier.

They should have never let him into a Fraternity. He got stuck there, specifically, the drunken hours, and grew chronologically with us having to witness his blowhard act during his 50's and 60's.

Some day, someone will tell us what he ingested just before the big show.

[Lorien]

14. "historians will anal-ize"?

"Chopper drivers"? "ask India and China what they think about America"?? Yeah dumbfuck, you and your cronies sent all our JOBS over there! And only the "elite" think we've fallen in standing in the world's eyes? Elite= educated, of course, and most of the world IS more educated than that shitstain (sorry for the language). God, I'm glad he's about to be tossed into the dustbin of history, ignorant bullying whiny know nothing fuck.

[dothemath]

15. Starting right now,

I ask everyone who reads or hears about this post to begin a campaign to have the words "Miserable Failure" appear on one billion websites. All who have internet service and can email send a message to your mailing list. Every recipient should then forward the request to everyone on their mailing list.

I know every one does not have or sponsor a website. Nonetheless, if enough people send the request and that request is then forwarded to a new batch of recipients, it will reach a brobdingnagian number of recipients. Think of it as Amway on steroids, or a tsumani.

You won't have to worry about about explaining what it means or framing it in terms that leave no doubt to whom it refers - just the two words.

If Google can be pressured to remove hundreds of thousands of hits with G W Bush as the subject when 'miserable failure' is typed in their search engine, we cannot. Just 2 words: MISERABLE FAILURE.

I will be watching and hoping.

[freeradicalm]

16. "Why Me?"

"What-Me-Worry" is more like it. I didnt think that this guy could out-douchbag himself, but sure enough on his last (Thank God) press conference the bunghole from hell did just that!

[Seldona]

17. The last few seconds of *Bush are physically painful to watch imo.

Yet they offer great insight into the mindset of this simpleton, or lack thereof. I guess ignorance truly is bliss if this guy is any example.

Thanks for posting.

[JDPriestly]

49. After watching this press conference, I have reached the conclusion

that Bush is not stupid. No, he is spoiled. He is a spoiled brat. He never progressed beyond the stage of the temperamental two-year-old who throws a tantrum when he does not get what he wants. He needs anger management training. There is such a thing you know. Child abusers and spousal abusers and other who violate restraining orders are required to take anger management training all the time (in California anyway). Bush should be required to take it. It would change his life for the better. (And maybe he would learn to take responsibility for his anger.)

[Seldona]

51. Is Bush stupid?

I doubt it. Yet that does not proclude him from astounding ignorance. Having lived in a bubble of his own design the last eight years, if not far longer, he is not used to having the critisms break through. He doesn't handle that well from what I have seen.

[Larry in KC]

52. You know, you can be two things.

Being astoundingly ignorant doesn't keep you from being stupid, too. I really think he's both.

[LynnTheDem]

18. Bush a catalyst in America's declining influence

How nice it must be to live in a bubble of total absolute ignorance.

[LynnTheDem]

19. At least bUsh now admits HE put that "mission accomplished" sign up.

Remember he first blamed the troops?

[bjobotts]

20. God, was he drunk...it's his normal state of mind now. Lived in such a bubble.

[silverojo]

25. The last 30 seconds of this video say it all!

It's truly wonderful to think that, in about a week, we'll finally be rid of this "idiot son of an asshole"!

[BelgianMadCow]

47. NO BRAIN NO PAIN

zzzinggg

[sam sarrha]

26. that's one for the history books.. and the PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS, it's a small step from the Butcher of

Texas to the Butcher of NOLA.. to the Butcher if IRAQ, the butcher of Gitmo, to the Butcher of the Economy, to the Butcher of the Constitution.

Fuck'n Wet Brain Alcoholic Drug Addict Psychopathic NARCISSISSY

i hope he burns in hell

[trusty elf]

27. Grotesque

What a loathsome, smug, vacuous, arrogant, smirking idiot son of a bitch.

Only a few more days now, hallelujah.

[applejuice]

29. Dude looks and sounds totally drunk.

What a lying sleaze bucket.

[applejuice]

30. Also, I didn't think he could get any less likable....

but he just proved me wrong.

And what was all that crap when he was talking about 9/11 about "another attack on the Homeland". It wounded like something the Nazi's would have said calling Germany the "Homeland" or the "Fatherland". So much of what he said was downrigh disturbing...

Including that stuff at the end about not caring about any of the stuff that went wrong on his watch. Not only did he seem drunk, he seemed like an even bigger a-hole than usual.

[Lil Missy]

31. kick to watch later ...

[nbcouch]

32. You can't call him a liar

To call someone a liar is to presume that they have some minimal grasp of the truth. Clearly that is not the case with W. He lives in a fantasy world of his own design, a solipsistic playhouse where as long as nothing bad happens to HIM, all is right with the world. And there are no Katrinas in W World.

30,000 people pulled off rooftops?? It was probably closer to 300, and that was just the Coast Guard, who were already present in NOLA, doing their job and doing it well.

I didn't see the entire "press conference" yesterday, because generally I can't stand to look at that asswipe excuse for a public servant, but I did hear his complaint about the complaints that he didn't have them land Air Force One instead of flying over the devastation. This was TWO DAYS after Katrina made landfall. The fact that he singles out this point in defense of his government's response is most revealing. If the only complaint, or a major complaint, were that he shouldn't have flown over on Wednesday, New Orleans would likely be in great shape today. It is not.

On Thursday (!) "Brownie" first learned of the thousands waiting outside the Convention Center, where they had been told to wait, without food or water or even basic sanitation. It wasn't until they had been there nearly a week that people were first evacuated from the Superdome, where they had been told to wait. But this was only the immediate aftermath. More than three years later, tens of thousands still have not returned to their homes, because they cannot. The relief they still need has never reached them. But lordy, don't let anyone tell W that his government's response to Katrina wasn't fast!

People like Brad Pitt have given enormously of themselves to see to it that there has been SOME progress in the Ninth Ward and elsewhere, and for that they deserve our respect. George W Bush would deserve nothing but our contempt, if he weren't so far beneath it.

[olegramps]

33. He is a total ass and huge embarrassment.

To think that we allowed the Evangelical idiots to elect this idiot is a disgrace.

[kmac3]

34. K & R . . Keep this active . . .

Never could stand to see bUsh who ranks highly as a professional, uneducated liar speak, but out of curiosity and knowing that Olbermann would put it in proper perspective listened.
How totally embarrassing for all Americans!

[HopeHoops]

36. Why oh WHY do they let him appear in public when he is TOTALLY WASTED!?!?!

He cubbn't even misprodunculate his wordulars pupperly.

[Dangerman]

40. Go to hell, Bush.

You're the most dumbest, sleaziest, scumbag-iest, murderous, don't-give-a-damn-about others president ever!

I hope to God you spend your retirement days in a jail cell in the freaking Hague! You and your buddies!

:mad:

[heliarc]

41. What an a-hole. Really. Just a worthless, worthless person Bush is

How could he be more insulting? I don't think it's possible.

Self-righteous A-hole.

[npk]

42. Where does this stupid ass president get off saddling Clinton with the recession

It started under his first term, not Clinton's last term. Fuck I am sick of this shit.

[truedelphi]

43. Bill Mahr said it best over eigtheen month ago

"Under his leadership, this nation has lost three buildings, four airplanes and an entire American city." And it might sound trite, but any mention of Katrina puts tears in my eyes. Mahr is one of the few who can make me laugh and cry at nearly the same instant.


Now, I guess we can add: on accunt of Bush we lost a great deal of the entire global economy.

And probably Iraq.

Never has so oblivious an individual accomplished more destruction by simply omitting the necessary constructive policies!

[Divine Discontent]

44. how no one there could get up the gumption to stand up and tell him what he was saying was bullshit

in his final 'rant at the media', is beyond me! When he went off about 9/11 after the Katrina baloney, if I was one of the these 'elites' and 'writers' that he is insulting to their faces while he LIES about 9/11 knowledge of the attack, I would have a hard time not saying, "but Mr. President, as this may be the last time I ever get to see you in that title - you were given the daily briefing that said Bin Laden determined to attack' and yet, you seemed along with your administration to blow off that intelligence, and other warnings, well, except for Attorney General John Ashcroft, who quit flying commercial - that was pretty obvious - so the question is - what do you think about the possibility of prison time?' - - - I know it's a dream. Who knows how much you'd get out before they escorted you out to your beating, but still...

[stlsaxman]

45. Guess Junior forgot to call on Helen, hmmmm?

my how convientant...

[Jefferson23]

46. This man who stole elections, ripped off the American people,

disgraced the United States on every level of government imaginable, stands before the public as arrogant and defensive as ever...no change.

[Left Coast2020]

48. You think I'm really going to waste my time......

watching this sick, ignorant piece of filth criminal try to tell me what he accomplished in his administration? NO F'ING WAY! I'm sick of this fool. I'm afraid I may have to use a barf bag. And from other posters here, it appears he was drunk. I hate drunks. Especially those from Texas. If there is a god, I would like to ask her why did we have to be subjected to 8-years of this s***.

[Mithreal]

50. What an embarrassment and how pathetic. nt
