Christopher Hitchens lets Bill Maher and his audience of hooting morons have it.
The "Bush is stupid" joke is about as cheap as wrong as it gets. After eight years, the insufferable Maher is finally called on it.

if morons will laugh it will spread. How many "Are you Smarter than Bush?" ads have you seen on various webpages over the last 8 years? Gee, I wonder if the same will be applied to the Holy Obama...
ReplyDeleteThat was great!
ReplyDeleteI think Maher is angry because he's an unfunny idiot. Always has been.
No, S, Obama will continue to be protected because he is a Lib and mostly because he is black and therefore off limits for insult in our apologist Libbed society. He and his presidency will benefit from the Racial Double Standard.
Gil - So, let me get this straight. Its OK to post youtube links with "SALTY" content, when they are in defense of Bush, but not when they are critical of Bush?
ReplyDeleteBusted. At least ours came with a parental warning.
ReplyDeleteSteve - As much as Bush comes across as being a dope, I don't believe that he's stupid. What I do believe is that he is of just average, or slightly above average intelligence. I also believe that Bush lacks intellectual curiosity, can be ignorant, mentally lazy, and arrogant. I think we need, and expect, more than that from a president. Part of the Bill Maher show that wasn't included in Gil's link, was Hitchens telling a Bush joke, and Hitchens saying that Bush might be dyslexic. Members of his own party, and inner circle, have said many of the same things.
ReplyDeleteAre they all part of a conspiracy to make Bush look bad?
Gil - Do we really need parental warnings on your blog? Oh wait! I forgot about R, the man child.

A public confrontation and rebuttal of a well-known, rather smarmy critic of the President is newsworthy and deserves to be distributed for its redeeming social value, no matter how salty.
ReplyDeleteJust another blogging opinion of a proBama partisan has considerably less value.
I see no inconsistency with the editor's discretion.
OK. 2009 reality check!Blame the left! Blame the liberal media! It's typical, pass the buck, neo-con thinking. Its time for you bozo's to face reality. No one is more responsible for this cowboy idiot image, than Bush himself. The man has portrayed himself this way, and now you're upset?
ReplyDeleteThe swagger. The wanted dead or alive, bring it on, tough talk. The volumes of stupid quotes. The inability to understand a simple question. In a recent interview, he was asked "If the intelligence on WMD's had been different, would we still have gone to war?" to which he replied "You mean if they had them?" What was he thinking?
Then there was the famous "Fool me once" quote that he butchered.

Bush stumbling during his debate with Al Gore when he looked dead pan at the camera and said with complete sincerity that the US could not elect a man who sends "mexed missages'."

We've had 8 yrs. of this. This is the real Bush, and this is the REAL reason that Bush is viewed as an idiot. He did this to himself.
There will always be a market for the "Bush is stupid" claim or joke. Just like there is market for Polish jokes.
ReplyDeleteBut people who think they're so much smarter than the President of the United States, are kidding themselves.
Unattractively so.
Gil - Is there anyone more responsible for this image than Bush himself?
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone more responsible for this image than Bush himself?
ReplyDeleteYes. The Lib Media and their determination to paint him in that unflattering light.
Maybe time for some therapy, BB, to help you with your apparent Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Randal, Gil is capable of answering questions without your help, and you are the last one that should be giving mental health advice.
ReplyDeleteyeah, media is very liberal biased. I don't see otherwise. bring your arguement...
ReplyDeleteLet's dismiss the fox news crap now since I know no one that watches it these days.
Steve - Gil hasn't answered my question yet. Ill ask you. Who is most responsible for Bush's image?
ReplyDeleteIf the media was making this stuff up, or taking it out of context, I'd agree with you. But we live in an age of youtube, and the instant replay. Bush has done a damn good job of putting his foot in his mouth. How can you blame the media for that?
Some politicians just misspeak. Others inadvertently expose their true feelings in a weak moment.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if the liberal media keeps regurgitating their beloved Obama's condescending "clinging to guns and religion" comment for the next four years.
Jake - Yea. Bush was eight years of misspeak. Trust me on this Jake. Obama will be a much better representative of our country. When he is finished his eight years, even you will be proud of him. Hell, even Randal will be singing his praises!
ReplyDeleteTrust me on this Jake. Obama will be a much better representative of our country. When he is finished his eight years, even you will be proud of him.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know, BB? He hasn't DONE ANYTHING yet. And what little he has showed us contains much deciet.
Sheesh, talk about baseless blind partisan dopey spin... Lol...
Baaaahb:
ReplyDeleteI will sing his praises to if eh delivers. However, if he doesn't he is fair game for criticism. Got that?

R, Carter - I predicted they wouldnt find WMD's. I predicted an Obama win. Trust me on Obama. You will sing his praises. More predictions. Randal will continue to make an ass of himself, and Carter will continue trying to impress people by putting Esq. at the end of his name.
ReplyDeletebob, i predict an incompetent administration masked by a guy who can speak and that's about it. . I envision more red-sate/blue state debates and a shift back to the right by 2012, as evidenced by senate and house pickups in a four year period. Let's remember, the "Is the Republican party dead?" comments in 2008 followed the "Is the Democratic party dead?" comments in 2004. The elevation of the Holy Obama was nothing more than a referrendum on Bush combined with a guy who knew how to use a blackberry and get kids on facebook to go crazy with his pepsi-cola-like logo that was more of a fashion trend than common sense.
ReplyDeleteOpinions seem to change quickly in the course of one term - as evidenced by such a shift from Bush's clean win in 2004 to a nationwide referrendum in 2008. Who's to say it won't happen again and Obama turns out to be this generation's Herbert Hoover if his policies backed by his 2/3rds of a senate term fail?
...and Boring Bob will continue whining like a little school girl who skinned her knee got her feelings hurt.
