Bush is not charming


Given that Bush is on a power trip, is an arrogant jerk, and lies at every opportunity, why would anyone describe him as charming or sincere in any way?

6. Yes, and the resemblance is more than skin deep, imho
Here's hoping Smirk gets to have the same kind of "moment" that Ted had here ...

2. he is hideous and offensive, the only ones who claim he is charming
are the ones that want to find excuses for his offensive disgusting qualities which they do so by claiming it's part of his charm .

3. He gives good barbecue
And he remembers people's names. Er, at least his nicknames for them.

4. You want to know why?
CAUSE HE'S A LIAR!

You think youre going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
Youve been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now youre desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything youve ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, Im perfect in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?

cause Im a liar, yeah, Im a liar
Ill tear (rip) your mind up, Ill burn your soul
Ill turn you into me, Ill turn you into me
cause Im a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

Ill hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And Ill tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that youre needing me is just the time
That Im bleeding you, dont you get it yet?
Ill come to you like an affliction then Ill leave you like an addiction
Youll never forget me... wou wanna know why?

I dont know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe its something inside, maybe its something I cant explain
cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
Im a liar, ooh, Im a liar
But if youll give me another chance I swear Ill never lie to you again
cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
Theyre stronger than truth
I cat believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, Ill never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!

I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
Im a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and Ill keep lying, Ill promise

-Henry Rollins

5. I can hardly wait to see how he charms the world at the G8
He has never failed us in managing to embarrass the entire country while the world is watching. I am counting on him to be the ass that he is.

8. He'll probably start by hacking out a lunger on the lawn
before he walks into the place...I predict downhill from there.

9. That's probably the one disgusting, humiliating thing he hasn't yet done
in public at one of these things. Remember one such confab of international leaders in Southeast Asia - and he stood there after lunch with his fly open?

14. No...I just remember him walking out across the White House
lawn...The People's Lawn...on his way to Marine 1, and spitting a big, crude, wad when he thought no one was looking...among all his other "attributes" he just seems to lack the rudimentary social graces.

10. Connecticut cowboy, airplane driver guy, and a rily big army mans
Who could resist the charm of a guy that rocks the world of one Condo Rice?

12. There is a certain portion of the population that identifies with this sort of thing.
They are, if I may us a pscyhology term, "assholes".

They identify with bullies and jerks. That's who they root for instinctively. And they're almost always right-wingers.

Seriously- next time some police department is accused of police brutality- especially if there's video or some other hard evidence to support the claim- turn on right wing talk radio. Catch the first 10 minutes of every show you can. Listen to the first callers bring the subject up, and you'll notice that all- and I mean ALL- back the cops every time, even if the host hasn't yet told them what they're meant to think.

17. He may very well be charming in a social setting.
Like a Klan rally or a cross burning or something.
