"Wall Street Got Drunk": 'Banned' Bush Video Surfaces

[deminks]

An ABC-TV outlet in Houston, and now the Houston Chronicle, have posted a video taken at a political fundraiser for Pete Olson, featuring George W. Bush last week -- capturing some embarrassing/revealing moments after, he noted, he had asked cameras to be turned off.

The first moments form the July 18 event find him speaking almost incoherently in admitting, for once, that his friends in big business had screwed up: "There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk ---that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments."

Then, making light of the foreclosure crisis, he said: "And then we got a housing issue... not in Houston, and evidently not in Dallas, because Laura's over there trying to buy a house. I like Crawford but unfortunately after eight years of sacrifice, I am apparently no longer the decision maker."

6. a WET BRAIN ALCOHOLIC USE'N THE LANGUAGE... LINK>>>

http://www.counterpunch.org/wormer1011.html
SNIP"...Dry drunk is a slang term used by members and supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous and substance abuse counselors to describe the recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking, one who is dry, but whose thinking is clouded. Such an individual is said to be dry but not truly sober. Such an individual tends to go to extremes.

It was when I started noticing the extreme language that colored President Bush's speeches that I began to wonder. First there were the terms-- "crusade" and "infinite justice" that were later withdrawn. Next came "evil doers," "axis of evil," and "regime change", terms that have almost become clichés in the mass media. Something about the polarized thinking and the obsessive repetition reminded me of many of the recovering alcoholics/addicts I had treated. (A point worth noting is that because of the connection between addiction and "stinking thinking," relapse prevention usually consists of work in the cognitive area). Having worked with recovering alcoholics for years, I flinched at the single-mindedness and ego- and ethnocentricity in the President's speeches...."snip


i sick to death of his.. "stinking thinking," ..that is the best i have ever heard it described

9. Pravda:George and Laura Bush to divorce after election because of Condi Rice?

Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper wrote with reference to The National Examiner tabloid that George and Laura Bush were planning a divorce after the presidential election in the USA.

According to the supermarket tabloid, George and Laura Bush hardly ever speak to each other. George feels very unhappy and does not want Laura to leave him. However, the newspaper wrote, Laura is tired of everything; she is determined to live her own life.

Laura Bush will reportedly be paid $20 million in case she divorces her husband.

It is worthy of note that it was not the first time, when US tabloids wrote about George W. Bush’s affair with Condoleezza Rice. Ms. Rice became the center of tabloid gossip in the USA two years ago in July. Many US newspapers wrote back then that Condi had a love affair with President Bush.

Wayne Madsen, a national security expert, wrote in 2006 that George W. Bush confessed during a session with his psychologist that he was attracted to other women. Bush reportedly named Condoleezza Rice as an object of his fantasies.

Laura Bush soon heard of the rumors. The first lady spent that night in Washington’s May Flower Hotel. Tabloids wrote that Laura Bush had escaped from the White House after an argument with President Bush which happened because of his supposed affair with Condoleezza Rice.

Evil tongues recalled the story of a Freudian slip which happened to Ms. Rice during an official meeting in Washington. Condoleezza Rice, who is always meticulous in the choice of her words, reportedly said the following: "As I was telling my husb—" before abruptly breaking off and correcting herself: "As I was telling President Bush."

Ms. Rice has earned the reputation of the Bush’s family friend. She became close to President Bush mainly because of the fact that she is the only person who finds a common language with Bush to teach him wisdom of foreign politics.

Indeed, unlike her predecessor, Colin Powell, Ms. Rice is in a very close relationship with President Bush. She talks to him on the phone at least once a day.

Mark McKinnon, former media advisor for President Bush, said that it would not be hard for Condoleezza Rice to take a higher position because this woman has unlimited political potential.

“She's a superfecta: a Republican, a woman, an African American and secretary of state," he said. "I don't think there's a hotter star on the Republican political horizon than Condi Rice," McKinnon said.

8. He may not be the decision maker but is he still the decider? nt

[Fuzz]

10. I think part of the transcript is wrong

"I like Crawford but unfortunately after eight years of sacrifice, I am apparently no longer the decision maker."

I think should read:

"I like Crawford but unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I am apparently no longer the decision maker."


Edit, lol, that's like the first comment on the page. oops

[Liberal In Texas]

11. Good catch, I think you're right. It also goes to show that the Crawford place was nothing more

than a stage set.

[jazzjunkysue]

14. Sacrifice? SACRIFICE? (Profanity Alert)

You pompous, overfed son of Richfuckistan! How dare you infuckingvoke sacrifice to describe the 8 years you've spent preening and smirking as the world comes down around and because of you. Even if maybe half of America was GODAWFULFUCKMEWHATTYAINSANE stupid and got you close enough to 2 elections so's you could steal 'em, there has been no part of the time you've spent sending this nation into disaster that could be even thought of as sacrifice on your part, baldrubster.

How many times must we see the guitar pic? Cake? Umbrella? Next. Next. And Etcetera. Shuckyou Fitheel.

If there is anything, anyfuckingthing that you have sacrificed while you have sat in the chair and played decidermoran, it has been US. Our safety, the future for us and the children who follow us, our legacy, and perhaps the very foundation of what we believe we are.

But not one thing of your own shitferbrains. You codpieced and brushcleared and smokedemoutted the stupid, but remeber THIS assbya...

We knew. And we still know. What and who you are, and slowly, sad a fact as that might be, more and more people know. And no longer fear to say it, sadder and scarier fact, lest they be branded as UnMurkin.

Jericho Schmerico, lil Skulk-n-Bonez boy, should these walls fall, the fucked you'll know is one few will ever know. Poppy's dyin, and so is Babs sometime in the next 10-15 years. Nothing I wish on them, it's just gonna be. Age, ok? And Jeb will look clean, Neil always hides, and whoever the other one is makes that point.


Sacrifice Then. Nevermind. It ain't in you. That's a thing only Other People Do For You.

This Other People will never sacrifice a thing for you. There isn't much left you haven't already fucking stolen anyway.

15. Crawford served its purpose

He bought it while running for President and he'll sell it after he leaves. It served its purpose, it was meant to give the image of a country rancher/cowboy.

[PerfectSage]

16. Bush should know considering the Carlyle group bought $16 billion of subprime cmo's

With $622 million dollars and the rest borrowed. Wonder how much of Bush's inheritance got wiped out on that "lumbering clusterfuck" bet.

[eppur_se_muova]

17. And Bu**sh** is the enabler who ran to the liquor store for these teenagers ...

You know that one guy who's legal age, who hangs out with under-18 kids to impress them with his "maturity", and occasionally slips them something they can't legally buy themselves?

That guy is Bu**sh**.

[guitar man]

18. You know, this might actually

...be the most candid thing he's ever said. Of course, he's leaving out the fact that his admin was the liquor distributor, bar owners and bartenders. They just kept serving the patrons and then handed them their car keys. Then they act surprised that there is a horrific crash...:eyes:
