I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
first
Isnt it time to start running a Booker ad?...
That's right George, and we 'won't get fooled again.'
I love the tiny, ironic bike under his chair, metaphorically going the wrong direction.
Bush needed glasses to read My Pet Goat? I don't remember seeing him bespectacled any other time.
No wonder he can't even read a speech competently.
Sorry to interrupt,but this has to be shown
Mann Coulter runs like a deer video
Pretty funny stuff.Some people say her eyes went as large as saucers when she saw the would be attackers.
SLAPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Getting a bit, as they say, Shrill in here.
I like it. I like it a lot.
As "The Smoking Gun" put it: she was attacked by Al-Pieda.
Oh, Atrios.
Meee-OW!
I think that photo requires its own caption contest.
Don't you have to know how to read to wear reading glasses?
What is more consistent with Bush's behaviour on the morning of 9/11 at the Booker elementary school in Florida:
a) an unexpected and horrible terrorist attack of unknown dimensions,
or
b) an expected NORAD highjacking exercise of known dimensions that has somehow gone horribly wrong?
Granted, Bush's behaviour doesn't prove anything, but as far as I can see, Bush and his people clearly weren't as surprised or worried about the attack as one would expect if it was a huge unknown entity.
"Reading this book is hard work! Hard!"
The glasses actually contain a miniature camera so that Karl can read the words into Shrub's ear.
That looks like hard work.
Don't you have to know how to read to wear reading glasses?
He was okay that day. He has a second-grade reading level.
Can we stop whining when the GOP suggests that voting for Kerry means you are going to die? Really, I have no problem saying that about Bush and Cheney. So, why can't they say it back?
If that is a battle they want to get into, just run My Pet Goat over and over. Play the ad of Bush at the Correspondents' Dinner joking about WMD.
This is an election about life and death. At least the GOP has the stones to admit it. Stop whining, start fighting.
pie,
There *are* a lot of pictures, too.
I think it was Digby or Wolcott who asked when the DNC is going to run an ad with Dubya dressed as an ostsrich with his head in the sand. Would love to see that one since we've evolved into animal metaphors.
uh, space? You in the wrong place, buddy? I see very little whining here, and mostly from concern trolls.
We are motivated: motivated to vote, motivated to donate to our guy, motivated to a fair election, motivated to GOTV, and some people here are freakin' armed! (Not me, and I'm not recommending it, but..) Whining is not a really serious problem around here, as far as I can see.
What has Bush ever done that shows strength? It is not that hard for someone without a conscience to send people to die while snacking on pretzels. It is not that hard to give speeches to hand-picked supporters or to receive questions which amount to praising Bush for being God's hitherto unacknowledged son. It's not even that hard to drive a tractor on a Texas farm (I drove a tractor when I was six years old).
Bush is a wimp.
Really, I have no problem saying that about Bush and Cheney.
Over four thousand Americans (and people from many different countries) and thousands of Iraqis have died as a result of Bush/Cheney policies.
They have a lot of fucking nerve accusing Kerry of anything that involves death and destruction. The future with their continued brand of *leadership* looks bleak and frightening.
Therefore, we're going to boot their evil, lying asses out of Washington on November 2nd.
Today's Houston Chronicle has an article about Tom DeLay which reads, in part:
"House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, increasing his local visibility in the face of ethics complaints and with an election just 11 days away, said in Houston on Friday that Democrats are vilifying him.
'I've never had a campaign where the entire nation has tried to destroy my name," DeLay said. "They are going after me in the most personal and vindictive way. It's gutter politics.'"
Well, this guy would know from gutter politics. Two things about the article that concerned me were, first, that in addition to Richard Morrison, there is a third contender for the office named Tom Morrison. That is going to be a nightmare of a ballot.
Second, I was disturbed by this quote:
Can we stop whining when the GOP suggests that voting for Kerry means you are going to die?
If elected, there is a chance that Kerry might:
--ignore a memo noting that the number one world terrorist organization is bent on attacking the U.S.
--not call a single meeting to address the memo
--sit like a deer in headlights, pissing his pants and scared to do anything until one of his handlers comes to comfort him, after he learns of an attack
--try to stonewall any inquiry into how and why an attack occured
--respond to an attack by invading an unrelated country, taxing our Troops in the process and diverting attention from the real threats
--and other stuff
And that would all be truly unforgivable. And really, really bad. So it's OK that President Cheney et al are suggesting that a vote for Kerry is a vote for being attacked, 'cause it could happen.
I want to see us dems attack bush for the obvious. He shouldn't be like a dog that gets away with the first bite. September 11th was a colossal failure by his administration and somehow he can now be trusted because of it? Yet another molestation of reality.
Who was most guilty of September 10th thinking? How about Cheney et al who were promoting the SDI bullshit? Or Ashcroft who cut counterterrorism funding? We can't cede this ground, Bush is horrible at fighting terrorism.
What about the 2/3 of al quaeda leadership claim? That is total bullshit, it uses pre-911 estimates. Talk about september 10th thinking.
Lets be clear, Bush is the Worst. President. Ever.
There is no two ways around it.
Chimpy snapped his crayon in dislike.
Screw those assholes who called him apelike.
They thought him brain-dead,
'Cause he used only red.
Did they expect fucking Vanna Dyke?
oops, too long. Here's the rest.
"'Will he be defeated? No,' said Rice University political scientist Bob Stein."
Way to go, doc--nice reliance on empirical evidence. Great scientist ya got there, Rice. This is going to mean something to voters in Houston, who still worry about "wasting" their vote.
In addition, Richard Morrison faces a ballot problem--there is a third person in the race, named TOM Morrison. Gonna be some confusion there.
Morrison needs our help! We're all tapped out at this point in the election, but I'm going to send him some mad money and forego lunches. Getting DeLay out of there is that important.
He's got a good chance, regardless of what the good Dr. Stein might think. Last week Bev Carter, the Republican Precinct Chair in DeLay's own Ft. Bend County, came out against DeLay. Let's help Richard get more voters to cross the aisle and boot out DeLay! (Hey, we'll take that other fool back if you send DeLay home to Texas too...)
Took a look at the CNN video of Coulter on the run. Good stuff. Someone may want to let CNN know, however, that the caption is incorrect: They apparently have the Coulter that we know and love confused with a "journalist" of the same name . . .
I love the tiny, ironic bike under his chair, metaphorically going the wrong direction.
epoh
And we all know how well Bush rides a bike (snicker)
Lime Ricky,
LOL! I just coughed up a lung from laughing.
Although I always suspected Dumbya of being a paint-by-numbers fan . . . and not for the kitsch value.
This site is mostly about mocking, isn't it? Does it make you all feel very superior? You can brag to your friends how there is no one that you don't make fun of?
The President? Yeah, he's an idiot?
Atrios' job is to give one-liners and let everyone agree in the comments:
"Bush is stupid" and then 100 comments on just how stupid
Or "He's an idiot" and then 100 yelps on how idiotic.
It would be an interesting dissertation to figure out why people come to this site -- to reconfirm their elevated status in life? To congratulate each other on their great fortune at not being one of the idiots of life (there are so many of them! Even the President! and the VP! Both IDIOTS!).
Kitties today. No weakness here.
Jay Lawrence -
We come to this site to take time to point out that you, yourself are an idiot. We are non-partisan and are perfectly content to locate and define idiocy wherever it's found and want to thank you for assistance in the work we've undertaken.
/Eschatonians for Truth
Kitty!
Jay Lawrence, this site is balance for the media and its hagiography of Bush. If you don't like balance, you can always go and read the free republic site where people all agree with you.
This is the as if administration. All hat, no cattle.
That Jay Lawrence...I mean, what a moronic fuckwad...did his mother have any children who lived? Named for his only grandfather, back there in the hollers.
You mean stuff like that, shit-for-brains???
Someone named "Jay Lawrence" is bitter and depressed. How sad.
Mr. Lawrence,
When and if the mainstream media ever decides to go cold turkey from its dependency on Republican money and affirmation, when 50% of the nation realize that they are NOT better off or safer than they were 4 years ago, and when this country returns to the track we Eschatonians believe it should be on (upholding civil liberties, fewer tax breaks for corporations and the top 1% of the wealthy in the U.S., sensible health care for all citizens, good education for all children, not just those whose parents can afford it, etc.), then maybe a site like this won't need to exist. Until then, we will rally each other by any means necessary.
Thank you. That is all.
Yah, I sent Morrison another $150 last week. I've been sending money to his campaign since last spring.
I can't believe Delay is whining like that already. Wait, yes I can. Get ready - I've been predicted whining on and ear-splitting level from Repugs as they go down. It has already started.
Oh, Tommy - are you widdle feewings huwt? Ohhhhh. You lying piece of shit.
And don't forget "Jay Lawrence"
Are you "Lovable" Jay Lawrence? The right-wing talk radio DJ in Phoenix?
It would be an interesting dissertation to figure out why people come to this site -- to reconfirm their elevated status in life?
Fine. Let's start with you. You've obviously found the speck in the collective eye of Eschatonians. Need help getting that log out of yours?
GWPDA,
I have just made that photo my wallpaper. Thank you.
Yes. So, let's count all the weaknesses that attracted Al Qaida to perpetrate that particulart horror on the U.S. on 9.11.01:
* The weakness of a president uninterested in heeding myriad warnings about terrorism in general.
* The weakness of a president obsessed with "missle defense" as opposed to terrorism.
* The weakness of a president who doesn't like reading (say, reading reports on terrorism and the growing terrorist threat and need for a coordinated "Homeland Security" strategy written by a bi-partisan commission headed-up by former Senators Rudman and Hart).
* The weakness of a president who appoints a politically and factually myopic (and intellectually mediocre) NSA like Condi Rice.
* The weakness of a president who is apt to get "brainlock" when confronted with crises or adverse news . . .
. . . if anyone wants to [ a ] add to the list, or [ b ] send this one to the Kerry Campaign, DNC or MoveOn.org, and implore them to use this as the text for a kick-ass commercial in the waning days of the election season, and heap praise upon me for almost single-handedly coming up with THE ad that historians will cite as the primary contributing factor to the "Kerry lanslide of 2004," that'll be fine, too.

Burning Britches
Liar, liar, pants on fire...
That's the meme!
ESCHATONIANS!!! Unite!!!
Whenever Bush or any of his minions, lackeys, lick-spittles and sycophants appears in public, ANYfockingWHERE, they need to be greeted by pyres and piles of burning pants...
This would be the most effective public tactic you could probably bring off...
SO ANYWHERE there's a Bushista speaking, there should be a phalanx of smouldering trousers ALL around them.
Anytime any focking Bushit sycophant, lickspittle, scumball, slimebag, asswipe apologist shows up on any forum, they should be met by phalanxes of flaming pantaloons...
This practice should be ubiquitous wherever any GOPhascist GOPhuquewit shows his drooling fascist face...
I have predicted or I have been predicting. Your choice...
Jay Lawrence, fuck you.
How smart are you that you support this incompetent, lying asshole?
Bush on jobs, economy, healthcare, prescription drugs, Social Security, stem cell research, environment, natural resources, domestic security, terrorism, accountability, etc.
Worst. President. Ever.
This site is mostly about...
Actually, I was feeling kind of inferior, then I read the prose stylings of Mr. Lawrence and am feeling much better about myself.
Tell us JL, are you feeling superior after your cutting comment? Is this what all your comments are about? Making yourself feel superior by taking people to task about making themselves feel superior?
(And if you're wondering, yes, I do feel superior after mocking your making yourself feel superior by mocking posters here who are making themselves feel superior by mocking...)
Gee, I come to this site for confirmation of the tuths I hold to be self-evident, as articulated by our pal watertiger:
the track we Eschatonians believe it should be on (upholding civil liberties, fewer tax breaks for corporations and the top 1% of the wealthy in the U.S., sensible health care for all citizens, good education for all children, not just those whose parents can afford it, etc.)
And to talk to smart people like RMJ and Philalethes, and for the fine poetry of Lime Rickey. Oh, and boobies.
Jay - actually, only Preznit Bush is a complete idiot. Cheney is not. He is just fucking evil and a liar on a scale unseen in American politics since the nation was founded.
All better?
Oh, c'mon, "Jay Lawrence", we're just having a little fun with the guy...it's to keep that 'messiah' complex from going to his head-- which might affect his image as America's Favorite Dry Drunk With His Finger On The Button.
so, yeah, we might be sorta juvenile sometimes, but it's for the good of our country.
P.S. Oh, and Mr. Lawrence? Look out your window, just at the horizon point. Do you see it? Yeah, just to the left of center. It's your sense of humor, and it's making really good time. You might want to go catch it.
that's truths, not "tuths," obviously.
And to talk to smart people like RMJ and Philalethes, and for the fine poetry of Lime Rickey. Oh, and boobies.
Well, I'll give ya Lime Rickey and Phil.
Me, I'm here for the boobies.
(smacking her forehead) How could I forget boobies? Jeeeez Louise!
oh, hell, that came out wrong.
"I'll give ya" meaning I join in the encomium of those fine Eschatonians.
I'm still drawn to the boobies. (How the h*ll does he do that?)
In fact, I'm a-thinkin' that picture of Bush needs a bespectacled boobie looking on...
...with that expression only boobies seem able to muster....
That Anon@10:53 was me...
yes, boobies and puppies, co-existing peacefully and happily under the auspices of Atrios and wOOt...how could there be a better place on the internets?
RMJ,
Completely OT, but I was talking with a friend yesterday and this site came up. I was extolling the innumerable virtues of the posters, and cited you, among others. Turns out she contacted you once for a documentary she was making on genetically engineered foods. (How many Robert M. Jeffers are there in Austin?) She had nothing but high praise for your take on the issue.
Just wanted to let you know that you're known here in NYC. 
now if we could just get some wood, too.....
How about: this is a website where generally like-minded people can discuss, debate, brainstorm on and vent over the day's political news.
Wow. What a weird, radical concept. As opposed to, say, the Freeper-type sites, you know -- where people go to cyber-lick Ann Coulter's toes or fantasize on various methods of torture deserved by a former President who was at the helm of a nation enjoying peace and prosperity ?
-
In fact, I'm a-thinkin' that picture of Bush needs a bespectacled boobie looking on...
With or without a little goatee?
A report from the field:
Teaching The Odyssey, and trying to get to the ambivalence of Odysseus (is he a good guy? a bad guy? a hero? a cheater?) and I propose that intelligence is a little threatening. "For instance," I opine, "we have evil super-geniuses, but there's nosuch thing as an evil super-idiot." From the back: "Sure there is. He's the president." Great hilarity ensued, and I was forced to admit the basic point.
watertiger--
I was thinking of SS type dark glasses. Maybe even an earpiece (do boobies have ears?)
If it had been the Three Billy Goats Gruff it would have been a troll ad. Featuring our resident "Naderites".
This ad certainly give us an insight into why they hate the natural world. Obviously it's childhood trauma over Peter and the Wolf or Red Riding Hood.
Wouldn't Tucker Carlson look darling in a red riding hood?
hlm,
Not that there's not virtual toe-licking going on here: the other day JFK caught a woman who had tripped coming down a flight of airplane stairs, saving her from injury. The surge of estrogen was truly impressive. (mostly of the "me next!" variety. Even Hecate, I think!)
Odysseus (is he a good guy? a bad guy? a hero? a cheater?)
I vote for bad buy and cheater.
Is Euripides more rewarding to teach? He's my absolute favorite.
RMJ,
Oh, I like. And a buzzcut?
wOOt, you have your assignment. Don't let us down!
As nasty as Bushco has been to Michael Moore, I surprised he hasn't used his new millions to put out a deer in the headlights, My Pet Goat ad on tv.
NYMary - Oh, let's not start up on that again. Oops, too late, the estrogen is already flowing.
NYMary - Oh, let's not start up on that again. Oops, too late, the estrogen is already flowing.
Right. Time for the men to gracefully exit.....
What RMJ - you don't go all weak in the knees at the thought of falling down some steps into John Kerry's arms? LOL
1 I'm not a little disappointed that the theme "weakness" and the irony (or hypocrisy, audacity, etc.) of Bush using that in an ad is not being more thoroughly dissected here -- an the power of a troll to get things off-topic. . . And, of course, I am as at fault as anyone else here is too, for defending this site as opposed to ignoring the chucklehead . . .
2 And, in the spirit of continuing to remain off-topic, I would note to NY Mary that I think there's a difference between women on this site heaping praise and estrogen on their Presidential Candidate for his quick and semi-heroic thinking, and the sicophantic ooze coming from the Freepers, like so many grovelling "yes-men," for the likes of a circus act like Coulter.
Note: I bold-faced your name, NY Mary, just so my this little note to you would catch your attention. Take care.
-
It's a cause and effect think--
I might go all weak in the knees, then fall down the steps---
---then fall into Kerry's arms---
---at which point me knees would immediately rectify themselves, right the imperiled ship of state that is my eggshell thin male ego, and work to haul me the hell outta there!
spell check: "sycophant."
-
"think"? Thing.
"me"? My.
I can't even type it correctly.... 
At least Kerry isn't likely to stumble and drag you down with him.
JFK has got fine looking hands.
MmmmI want some of that.
Egads - it's not even noon
Speaking of boobies ...
Last night's bonus link from Woot to the picture of 1972 Kerry plus "Elvis boobie" made me think of the class picture of Nixon and Elvis.
Anybody else think that pic needs a boobie in it?
I agree. But then there's nothing sexy about a bleached-out strip of beef jerky spewing hate, I don't care how metrosexual you are. Whereas brains and principle are tres sexy.
Those aren't reading glasses...they're X-ray specs. The question is why is W wearing 'em in a room full of kids? Hmmmmmmmm?
Quiltlady - Stop it. Stop it right now.
NYMary - look what you started. If Athenae shows up we're done for - we will drown in estrogen.
"[W]eakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm."
Agreed. I can't decide if Al Qaeda actually grasped the fact that in September of 2001 this country was being "governed" by the biggest bunch of boobs since, well, ever, or they just got lucky in their timing. Either way, it can't be lost on them that the Bush Administration is doing a lot of their work for them. (Inadvertently, I sincerely hope.)
OK, Tena. Just one more question.
Do you think JFK would like my boobies?
OK, Tena. Just one more question.
Do you think JFK would like my boobies?
All right, that's it! This time I mean it! I am not coming back!
The estrogen is starting to get to me....
Sorry, Robert. I'm outta here, really. Gotta take my geek kid to marching band...
Hey! I was in the marching band when I was a kid!
(At least your kid probably doesn't march with a bassoon. Tell him he's not the biggest geek around, if that'll reassure him....or her. One should not presume....)
She. Flugelhorn (sp?). I'm going now, really. The grandma with the flu thing upstairs has me seriously bummed.
Yeah, see...how many jazz bassoonists do you hear about?
(bye)
"THEY SHALL NOT PASS"
That's his fuckin metalface.
there is at least one jazz bassoonist out there. i can't remember his name though. i think mingus used a bassoon sometimes. bassoons are kind of cool.
Hmm, that Lawrence guy ran away...
Typical. Can't face the simple truth, just like his punkass bully bitch preznit.
Hey, Jay! Things are great in Iraq! No, really!! They are!!!
Dolt.
Monkey picture, far more scary than pictures of cute Pups.
It's obvious in this picture that GWB learned how to play school teacher from his wife, Laura "School-Marm" Welsh.
Just had an epiphany – Maybe, just maybe we all misjudged GeorgieBoy. Maybe the seven minutes stunned silence was because he had gotten to the part in “My Pet Goat” where the goat was eaten by rampant wolves.
When will the Dems run the following ad:
"Hi, I'm Kristen Breitweiser. My husband, ______ , died in the attacks on the WTC because George Bush did not take terrorism seriously. That's why I'm voting for John Kerry."
So George W. Bush is running ads with wolves.
On 9/11, he was so wrapped up in a story about a goat that he couldn't leave it alone, even to deal with a huge attack against our country.
Maybe if George W. Bush were more concerned about terrorism, and less concerned about animal stories, we would actually be safer today than we were on 9/11.
Man, look at that photo, what a simpering spaztard.
This is the scene where I think Bush has a implant receiver in his ear, and he spent those seven minutes sitting there listening to Rove and Cheney screaming, and they were saying, just wait there Mr. Preznit, we'll get back to you.
What struck me on that day was Bush's complete lack of surprise, it's one of the things I think about on 9/11. Oh and the way he heroicily fled.
