Bush, you hypocritical shitweasel...

[hiaasenrocks]

I just saw a clip of *, decrying the House vote as an act of "political theater"...while standing in front of people wearing military costumes and those pointy VFW or American Legion hats or whatever they are -- the ones that look like the old Dairy Queen hats, only with patches and pins tacked all over them.

Yeah. ?x=324&y=345&sig=suu1S6Y8DOmwY2RxSl9Nkw--">No political theater here.

1. Maybe he's interviewing for a job at Burger King after he leaves office.

a greaseweasel.

14. You,too?

It's a gem. :D

3. No, it's a XXX drive-in where that shitbag is involved..n/t

4. You are correct, of course. Bush has nothing if he doesn't have PR maneuvers.

Other than that, he's empty. The "Low Fuel" light has been on for miles and miles, who knows when it will finally run out.

You are being far too kind describing * as a hypocritical shitweasel. Yes, he is that but he's also so much more.

5. Is it just me, or does that portrait of George Washington look like

he's kind of upset about what his once-proud office has become? :shrug: Can't say I blame him, really.

6. Political props...AGAIN? The little man is a coward.

The military regulations forbid Bush using our troops as political props

The DOD regulations make clear that the White House cannot use uniformed military, active duty or veterans, as props in political events. But that's what Bush did today when he used current or former troops in uniform as window dressing for his political press conference attacking the Democrats as un-American. Is this now the official policy of the US military, that Democrats don't support the troops? What are we, a banana republic now?

Let me quote the relevant regulations...

Regarding active duty troops

It is DoD policy that:

3.1. The wearing of the uniform by members of the Armed Forces (including retired members and members of Reserve components) is prohibited under any of the following circumstances:

3.1.1. At any meeting or demonstration that is a function of, or sponsored by an organization, association, movement, group, or combination of persons that the Attorney General of the United States has designated, under Executive Order 10450 as amended (reference (c)), as totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive, or as having adopted a policy of advocating or approving the commission of acts of force or violence to deny others their rights under the Constitution of the United States, or as seeking to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means.

3.1.2. During or in connection with furthering political activities, private employment or commercial interests, when an inference of official sponsorship for the activity or interest may be drawn.

3.1.3. Except when authorized by the approval authorities in subparagraph 4.1.1., when participating in activities such as unofficial public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration, which may imply Service sanction of the cause for which the demonstration or activity is conducted.
And regarding retired vets:
3.2. Former members of the Armed Forces, unless under another provision of this Instruction or
under the terms of Section 772 of title 10, United States Code (reference (d)), who served honorably during a declared or undeclared war and whose most recent service was terminated under honorable conditions may wear the uniform in the highest grade held during such war service only on the following occasions and in the course of travel incident thereto:

3.2.1. Military funerals, memorial services, weddings, and inaugurals.

3.2.2. Parades on National or State holidays; or other parades or ceremonies of a patriotic character in which any Active or Reserve United States military unit is taking part.

3.2.3. Wearing of the uniform or any part thereof at any other time or for any other purposes is prohibited.

3.3. Medal of Honor holders may wear the uniform at their pleasure except under the circumstances set forth in paragraph 3.1., above.

8. That's interesting, fooj.

I wasn't aware of that . . .



But I'm not surprised that Preznit F*ckwit broke the rules.

7. Did he use his phony Crawford accent and call it Thee-aytuur?

2 words for you Chimpy: Timken Bearings.

[cassiepriam]

9. I thought he loved political theater? Dressing up like a solider, pretending to fly planes.

Banners with "mission accomplished".
He actually goes around telling people he is an old Navy pilot.

11. Shitweasel Doesn't Get It

By the way, "shitweasel" is excellent, I will use it too.


Bush literally took my breath away today, when he decried Dem "political theater," for all the rank hypocrisy expressed by y'all on this thread. He vibes desperate now -- we can expect even more shrill bleating soon, like pigs being pulled away from the trough. Come to think of it, isn't that what's happening? The pigs are being pulled away from the slops, before they've gorged their fill?

You can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take the boy out of the boy.

12. Hey now,that isn't fair to shitweasels the world over.

[rasputin1952]

13. As President of the Shitweasel Defense Society, I have to agree....

lowering this endangered species to bush's level is not only noxious, but it could further endanger the shitweasels everywhere.

Bad enough they have litters of paternal twins once in a lifetime, we need not see the shitweasel gene pool decline any further!

SAVE THE SHITWEASELS!!!!!

15. True hypocrites can never see their own hypocrisy.

You can point it out to them, and they'll look right over it. It's a psychological blind spot.
