Bush's disturbing sleeping disorder (HST)
Thompson is right, falling asleep in the first half of the Superbowl is just plain wrong.

Bush's disturbing sleeping disorder
By Hunter S. Thompson
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=thompson/040218

"This is horrible news," I said to Anita, as Janet Jackson's tortured right nipple was rubbed in our face for the 55th time in three days. "Nobody remembers the final score in Houston, but we ALL witnessed the shameless quasi-naked sight of that breast and S&M-style nipple shield."

snip

But not in the White House. George Bush went out of his way to announce formally that he went to sleep long before the end of the first half.

What kind of all-American boy would say a stupid thing like that while he's running for re-election? Only a fool would deliberately insult the whole Football Nation, at a nervous time when polls show his Job Approval Rating plunging below 50 percent for the first time since he took office in January of 2001. That is like stabbing yourself in the back while you're preparing to fight for your life on a street corner. It is dumb, and so is the dingbat who told Bush to say it.



More evidence that the President may be losing the fight.

1. oh my goodness, oh my goodness...
"Was he drunk? Does he fear the sight of an uncovered nipple? Was he lying? Does he believe in his heart that there are more evangelical Christians in this country than football fans and sex-crazed yoyos with unstable minds? Is he really as dumb as he looks and acts?"

LOL!

2. Glad to see The Good Doctor writing on politics
In his last ESPN columns, he mentioned he was going to spend more time on the campaign.

"Was he drunk? Does he fear the sight of an uncovered nipple? Was he lying? Does he believe in his heart that there are more evangelical Christians in this country than football fans and sex-crazed yoyos with unstable minds? Is he really as dumb as he looks and acts?

"These are all unsatisfactory questions at a time like this. Is it possible that he has already abandoned all hope of getting re-elected? Or does he plan to cancel the Election altogether by declaring a national military emergency with terrorists closing in from all sides, leaving him with no choice but to launch a huge bomb immediately?

"All these things are possible, unfortunately, in a White House that is drowning in it's own failures. Desperate men do desperate things, and stupid men do stupid things. We are in for a desperately stupid summer."

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.....

3. Can we assume Shrub was "pretzeled" before halftime?
Of course he didn't see the halftime show. Kind of hard to see the tv when one is face down on the carpet.

4. A fun read, in spite of his prohecy that "we're in for a desperately...
...stupid summer."

5. He Left His Guests & Went to Bed
That's what we're to beleive - just prior to the game, too stupid said to some whore pundit, he would be watching the game with brother Marvin, Don Evans and other family members.
