Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain!

Pst! I got a little news for you! This is not George Bush THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES standing at Ground Zero just shortly after the World Trade Center was attacked. This is *really* George Bush teaching a fireman how to *golf*! Yeah, yeah, that’s right! George Bush teaching a fireman how to play golf!

Because George Bush, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, *certainly* wasn’t president when 9-11 happened. So says Rudy Giuliani. And who would know better than the knighted ambassador of 9-11?

What cute name will we name the “no terrorism on Bush’s watch” crowd? 911ers? Nobushers?

Aren’t terrified already? Prepare yourself!

Things are steadily getting worser and worser in the economic world. Bush came out today to tell us all that everything is fine, just fine, no need to panic–but I think I saw some fire streaming from his britches before he left the podium.

MSNBC doesn’t bother with the pretending, they scream it like it is, with the proper amount of intensity: IS THIS THE END OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM???

I don’t know if it is or isn’t–but I will admit to being completly terrified. If this is what they wanted, they got it!

The More Things Change…

While I was looking for the Dana Carvey video below, I came across this video from the 92 debates with George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton.

It’s interesting to me that apparently we were in the middle of an economic crisis back then too! And that people are asking great questions in the town hall format that the politicians are doing their best to totally screw up the answer to (Just cuz I’m rich doesn’t mean I don’t touch you people occasionally–ai, dios mio! No wonder he lost!) or perform their way out of answering (Bill was literally salivating on his way to talking to that woman).

The only difference is that a third party candidate is at the debate–but of course the people who edited this video seem to think we don’t really want to hear what Perot had to say, so in a way, we’re really in the same position.

I looked all over for Perot’s answer and couldn’t find it, if somebody has a link, leave it in comments!

Yes, This is President Bush of the United States

I asked my 10 year old daughter: “What language do they speak in Italy?”

She answers: “Italian”.

Now if only the U.S. lame duck President Bush knew that.

At the G8 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia two years ago, President Bush was caught in a candid moment on an open microphone, complaining that some of his fellow world leaders “talk too long.” Though the G8 summit was in Japan this year, the open microphones during lunch were still there. As the New York Times’s Sheryl Gay Stolberg reports, Bush had a bit of a language mishap when speaking to “one of his best buddies in Europe,” Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi:

“Amigo! Amigo!” Mr. Bush called out cheerily in Spanish when he spotted the Italian prime minister. “How you doing, Silvio? Good to see you!” Later, the president wondered about his former Russian counterpart, Vladimir V. Putin. “Did Putin come to see you since I saw you?” he asked Mr. Berlusconi. (He had not.)

Shout out to Matt Ortega for this.

Bush and Chavez Dueling Tours Continue

12 Mar 2007

U.S. President Bush continues his goodwill tour of Latin America. He hugged Lula, talked trade with Uruguay, and practically ran through Colombia as protesters burned U.S. flags. Today Bush lands in Guatemala where he plans to talk about poverty. Meanwhile Venezuelan President and Bush arch-enemy, Hugo Chavez is touring the places Bush isn’t. In Argentina he sort of took back his statements made at the U.N earlier this year when he called Bush a devil who smelled of sulfur.

In the rally in Argentina, Chavez called Bush a “political cadaver” and said he didn’t smell like sulfur anymore. That’s probably not the sort of apology Bush was looking for but oh well.

Chavez continued his tour in Bolivia with pal Evo Morales, showing love to victims of El Nino storm flooding.

Dubya’s hija is going south

Just where Jenna Bush is headed is anyone’s guess (I mean isn’t Latin America just one big homogenous country to these people anyway?) but according to People Magazine, Dubya’s hija is going to continue her career as a teacher “south of the border”:

First daughter Jenna Bush, who for the past year and a half taught third grade at Washington’s Mount Pleasant charter school, is going to leave the nation’s capital and continue her teaching career in Latin America, reports The Washington Post.

Bush, 24, should be in place South of the Border by the end of summer, says the paper. The White House had no comment when asked of the plans and of the cost to taxpayers for the first daughter’s security in the faraway post.

Get ready Mexico, Colombia, Peru or wherever…hide the tequila/pisco/rum…there’s a new güera in town!
