Last night Jon took President Bush to task for the disgusting distortion of history he employed Wednesday to justify his endless war in Iraq. Little does Bush know (not surprising), we keep the tapes from earlier in his presidency where he dismissed outright the Iraq-Vietnam comparison. The shameless propaganda knows no limits.

C’mon, let’s give him a break! He’s running out of ideas!
I find the president to be most amusing and entertaining. He is afterall, a clown and a joke.
The magical mystery tour is going to take you away…..going to take you away……I wonder if he’s met Lucy yet….or if he just gets to recycle
*face buried in palms*
He can’t even screw up correctly.
*face still buried in palms*
Bush is now like a fish in the bottom of the boat-he’s flopping any way he can to try to get back in to the water. Sad, if it weren’t so tragic.

you think there hairy?He’s obviously blind
Listening to Bush is always an exercise in what it is to be lectured by the stupidest guy in the room.

I actually liked the Maude reference…..

Looks like Casto died.
Party in Miami.
Someone who doesn’t read history is destined to MIS-UNDERESTIMATE it.
The video montage of Bush and the Iraqetnamese (or is it Vietraqi?) issue was beautiful, but I was also very impressed with the interview with Lt. Col. Nagl, who co-authored the Army/Marines’ new Counterinsurgency Field Manual. At least somebody isn’t completely clueless about the realities of the Iraq occupation; it gives me hope that Iraq might turn into at least a mitigated disaster. I put up a transcript of the Nagl interview on my blog, with an embed of the video.
Do you think Bush’s advisers and speechwriters are trying to do him in? It’s obvious that he doesn’t remember what he has said in the past and now it appears that he just reads what he is given. Does he even realize how comical his speechifying is?
Make that Castro.
Geez.

ROFLMAO! My vote for comment of the week!
I rarely post comments about Jon or Keith, simply because I find me-tooism boring. Not having cable though, one of the best things about having the net for the last year is that I can catch their shows. I missed so much!
Canadian Observer @ 13:
One has to wonder don’t they…………..my guess is he reads it …..but just can’t put 2 and 2 together….ahhhh the Preznit….be it nitwit,dimwit or halfwit………he’s still in way over his head.
OH and one more thing…..can we lose the add for Realtime…..soon?
Thought you might have some fun with these two movie references that struck me as very appropriate while watching Bush misremember history…
From “A Fish Called Wanda”:
Wanda: But you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you, ape?
Otto: Apes don’t read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto, they just don’t understand it! Let me correct you on a few things; Aristotle was not Belgian! The central message of Buddhism is not “Every man for himself!” And the London Underground is not a political movement! Those are all mistakes. I looked them up.
And from the mouth of Bluto…
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough…
[thinks hard]
Bluto: the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
[runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer…
Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let’s do it.
Bluto: LET’S DO IT!

The radical Christians and the uber rich are who got him elected.
They really did not care if Bush is as dumb as a box of rocks.
They religious base just wants those Supreme Court spots and the super wealthy just want those tax cuts. No group in Bush’s base really cares about the welfare of the nation as a whole.
Hopefully their shortsightedness and selfish motives have taught the nation a lesson.
Bush has done an insurmountable amount of damage to the GOP party of Crooks and Liars and for that I’d like to shake his hand.
mudshark @ 16:
It’s not that. It’s just that Bush and his team have realized that it simply does not matter what they do anymore. Congress is too lazy to stop them and the American people have no authority save for that which they exercise through the legislature and the government. All Bush wants to do now is run out the clock while making sure that the other Republicans still have a chance of ever being elected again this century.
“The shameless propaganda knows no limits.”
the shameless bastards do not care . . .
Didn’t the Rutles call it “Tragical History Tour”?
Seems to fit here too.
mudshark @ 17:
The ad doesn’t bother me at all. Things in this world aren’t free. The people at C&L have to eat too, you know. We’ve all got bills to pay.
Somebody cut his mic. (No, I’m not Bill O., just a reasonable guy.)
If I didn’t hate that simpleton so much, I’d almnost feel sorry for him. And to think this man is the President of the United States. I’m ashamed.
Down with the king!!!
Another Bush moment to add to the collection of that he isn’t qualified and never has been to hold the job of President of the United States. He is about as vacuous a leader as one can have. And the folks who are to blame for this person holding that job: the REPUBLICAN PARTY. Their fault, all of what he’s done. Yes.
breakspear @ 26:
forgot to add that word…
Saw that re-creationist type piece last night….
Starting to believe Bush must of has a close and personal relationship with “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”…
Hey, I drink. I know drinkers. He’s hung over for sure. You can see it in the eyes.
Watching Chimpy without Rove is about as good as watching Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 without Burt Reynolds. Absolutely embarrassing.
Say what you will about Rove, he’s a gifted prognosticator. He jumped ship while there was still a lifeboat available.
I seriously think it’s gonna come down to a quartet of Cheney, Hadley, Bolton and that guy with the beard playing their sordid, off-tempo and out-of-tune song as the Big Ship Neocon finally plunges under.
voters who vote for republicans are the first suckers who buy pet rocks and ask if they have had all thier vet shots

UnEasyOne @ 15:
The knowledge that our government employs torture as national policy and that this policy was not an aberration but instead goes right to the top (Bush) was a deal breaker for me. Lied to war without account. Where is the outrage?
citizen_pain @ 29:
He does have that puffed up, tell-tale drinking, saddle-bag look under his eyes. I’m not sure which is scarier: a drunken president, or a dry drunk president. Dry drunks are nasty nasty people.
@32 AConfederacyofDunces
I totally agree. Since the US has made torture an official policy of state, I include the US on my personal list of terrorist-sponsoring countries. I mean you can’t chastise Syria and then send people there to be tortured, but that’s what they’re doing. Remember when the USA condemmed torture and those that use it??? I do.
Canadian Observer @ 13:
Seriously?
I think the bubble is so small now that his stuff doesn’t get passed over by the usual fact checkers and experts…just him and a little neocon clique whose grasp of history is as shaky as his.
…and that is why the internet is such a fantastic resource!
In the past it would have taken many hours of work, but now can be done in a short time and quite easily by people who once just didn’t have the time or resources to do so.
The Lies and Hypocrisy shown by these immoral and corrupt politicians can be shown to millions of viewers all over the world by people with little more than a computer, an internet connection, a bit of common sense and a want to do the right thing.
It just goes to show how behind the 8 ball these scumbags really are, and their arrogance in trying to push their rotten agenda is easily brought to light.
I love the internet!
I always enjoy watching Bush’s audiences during his little speechifyin’ tours. I can’t help but wonder who these sad people really are and what must be going through their minds as they listen to this idiot. We all know Bush doesn’t give a rat’s ass about America, less his endless stupid failures but you’d think real Americans would.
it’s a damn shame for the American people that we’ll be without Jon and Steven for two weeks. Few other news outlets chose to do things such as this. they just blast your face with pundits and talking points
what will we do when these news casters decide to hang up their hat?

They’re also usually the same folks who tell you they’re Christian, and tell you you’re not Christian enough, all while supporting “Holy War” and torture.
And you can try pointing out to them that their very own interpretation of the Bible makes clear the Anti-Christ will fool the believers, not the non-believers, and it just goes through one ear and out the other.
Awesome Bush… just weird and terribly forlorn/lost.
But his audience lapped it up, this therefore still means that he has and will have a base to depend on, which makes this all the more scary.
This man is a fool and fools usually do foolish things because they have no understanding of the consequences of their actions.
When will Bush attack Iran or perhaps Pakistan and who in American politics is going to put that genie back into its bottle?
The more stupid Bush looks the more the world is willing to forgive American stupidity (Warmongering) but if the President were not an imbelice what then???
And just to be clear, even though I’m a practicing Christian, I don’t believe Bush is the anti-Christ.
He’s just a regular old @$$#ole who happened to be born into a life of privelege.
Bringing up the real war in Afghanistan, I’d like to thank GoDaddy for shutting down a site belonging to my brother, an E-8 serving in Kabul, with no notice.
He’d created the account so he could spend some time gaming on it with his 13 year old son back in the states. He was due back in a couple of months but of course everyone is getting extended.
He and I’d worked on it for a week getting it ready as a surprise. But the only surprise was when GoDaddy shut it down with no notice. They won’t tell me why. So he has to try and contact them from Afghanistan and beg for them to reinstate it. Thanks Bob.

No, not off topic, struck me as a hiliari-sad parody on the kind of tepid response democrats are giving to the continual crimes of this administration.
It’s 1984 + 23.
baby jesus must now go into complete isolation, meditation and heavy adult beverage consumption in preparation for Bill Maher.
The most damning indictment is that there are still Americans who “support” Boosh. I cannot think of anything more embarrassing to this country than that simple fact.
theyd put an anamal down that suffers as much as this prick does!

Poor George. It just keeps getting harder to “catapult the propaganda”.
Bush is a walking-talking rectum.
