The life and times of George Bush, President of the USA, leader of the free world and sworn enemy of bad folks and pretzels
SAYS Barack Obama on the surge in Iraq he opposed:
“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”
Nobody? Like George Bush. Like John McCain. Like, nobody..?
SAYS Pam in the comments:
Well, there’s the little matter of a hurricane mop-up to attend to and, um, the fact that he’s pretty much the most unpopular president in history.
As for the vice-babe, to date she has not shot any member of her own party. This puts her well ahead of the current VP–by twice, I think.
Sarah Palin - hard not to like
ANORAK remembers when the Guardian tried to influence voters in the US or A who were too darn stooped to work out that George Bush was going to kill them all with his weather machine.
Operation Clark County would see Guardian readers instruct those colonial picaninnies, rednecks, white trash, gangbangers and creationists that John Kerry should be president and not George Bush.
On August 26th, George Bush announces that September is National Preparedness Month:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 2008 as National Preparedness Month.
GEORGE Bush and John McCain in Mexican, pornographic sex encounter.
Mark Fraunefelder says: “Ethan Persoff (the fellow who is covering the riot police at the DNC) has printed a special edition of his (X-rated) McCain “Tijuana Bible” to hand out to folks at the convention.
Uncivil Society reports:
Any complete account of the evolution of communications media in the twentieth century must include the Tijuana Bible — small pornographic comics featuring bootleg versions of popular comic strips and celebrities….
In Denver this week, delegates to the Democratic National Convention will have the opportunity to get printed versions of this Bush-McCain Tijuana Bible, presented as a replica of a prophetic 1934 comic from Lieberman’s Lil’ Squeezer Books. Whatever one’s moral stance regarding porn & politics, it’s a rather clever piece of neo-retro performance art.

WE’LL miss George Bush:
The American beach volleyball team of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor defeated the Chinese team of Jie Wang and Jia Tian 2-0 to complete a perfect Olympic tournament and win their second consecutive gold medal.
Interviewed immediately afterward, Walsh asked if she could say something, then looked straight at the camera and said, “Mr. President, thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for all you do.”
And I thought that everyone hated George Bush. That’s what the media and the Democrats keep telling me.
You’ll miss him when he’s gone…
IN 2000, the world read: Baldwins ready to quit America if Bush is elected”
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger say they will leave America if George W Bush is elected President. Asked if she’d move with him, Basinger said: “I can very well imagine that Alec makes good on his threat. And then I’d probably have to go too.”
President Bush lives in the White House. Alec Baldwin no long lives with Kim Basinger, but they do both live in the US of A.
2008:
Stephen Baldwin, a born-again Christian and brother of Alec, whose most recent “role” was an apprearance on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that he will leave the country if Barack Obama becomes the next president …
Better luck this time…
GEORGE Bush Lol medal…
GEORGE Bush. The $10 coin. How long until we look back on his tenure as the good times?
RUSS Limbaugh - him again - is in conversation with George Bush:
RUSH: What are…? (interruption) Interrupting for what?
THE PRESIDENT: Hello!
RUSH: Oh, jeez. The president?
THE PRESIDENT: Rush Limbaugh?
RUSH: Yes, sir, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: President George W. Bush calling to congratulate you on 20 years of important and excellent broadcasting.
RUSH: Well, thank you, sir. You’ve stunned me! (laughing) I’m shocked. But thank you so much.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s hard to do.
RUSH: (laughing) I know, it is.
THE PRESIDENT: I’m here with a room full of admirers. There are two others that would like to speak to you and congratulate you, people who consider you friends and really appreciate the contribution you’ve made.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. Put ‘em on.
THE PRESIDENT: How you doing? This is my swan song? If this is all you got for me, I’m moving on.
RUSH: (laughing) No! The show’s yours; take as much time as you want.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m just calling along with President 41 and the former governor of Florida. We’re fixing to have lunch here, and I said, “Listen, we ought to call our pal and let him know that we care” for you. So this is as much as anything, a nice verbal letter to a guy we really care for.
RUSH: Well, thank you, sir, very much. I’m overwhelmed. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this and how much you’ve surprised me.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, that was the purpose of the phone call.
RUSH: You succeeded.
THE PRESIDENT: Good.
Ring! Ring! It’s Euan Blair on line one…
NICK Cohen on change after George Bush:
In January, Bush will be history, leaving liberals all alone in a frightening world. Little else will change. Radical Islam will still authorise murder without limit, Iran will still want the bomb and the autocracies of China and Russia will still be growing in wealth and confidence. All those who argued that the ‘root cause’ of the Bush administration lay behind the terror will find that the terror still flourishes when the root cause has retired.
Indeed…
AL Gore, current US Vice President, leader of the Al Goreans, global warming expert, champion of alternative fuels and educator of the ignorant is pictured here with then President Bill Clinton at the apogee of their political double act.
The numbers indicate the price of petrol, showing that when Gore was in power, petrol was cheap and gas-guzzlers affordable.
Now under oil-mad, planet scorching George Bush, oil is expensive and Americans are walking and selling their big cars, and selling themselves.
Which of Gore and Bush is the planet’s friend?
Note: The picture was meant to show how Bush has been bad for the US economy…
Spotter: Karen S.
A GROUP in San Francisco want a lasting memorial to George W. Bush. Condoleezza Rice has a ship - or not:
Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital, and a state, too. But President George W. Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom. (more…)
THE Barack Obama Death Cult has many acolytes.
But, then, there is nothing new about wishing death upon the US President (not yet, Barack).
Michelle Malkin has a round-up…
FRANK Rich on how to string a sentence together:
“Top Bush hands are starting to get sweaty about where they left their fingerprints. Scapegoating the rotten apples at the bottom of the military’s barrel may not be a slam-dunk escape route from accountability anymore” -Frank Rich, New York Times, July 13
Spotter: SParker, metaphorically speaking
GEORGE Bush’s parting remarks as he left the G8 food fest in Japan:
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
India issued its National Action Plan on Climate Change in June 2008 disputing man-made global warming fears and declared the country of one billion people had no intention of stopping its energy growth or cutting back its CO2 emissions …
The report declared: “No firm link between the documented [climate] changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established.”
The report made clear that India has no plans to cut back energy usage. “It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people.”
We’ll miss Bush’s sense of humour…
BARACK Obama is all about change:
“Iran is a great threat. We have to make sure we are working with our allies to apply tightened pressure on Iran… I think what this underscores is the need for us to create a kind of policy that is putting the burden on Iran to change behaviour, and frankly we just have not been able to do that over the last several years” - Barack Obama
Let’s Bomb Iran!
“I’m convinced that a liberated Iraq will be — will be important for that troubled part of the world. The Iraqi people are plenty capable of governing themselves. Iraq is a sophisticated society. Iraq’s got money. Iraq will provide a place where people can see that the Shia and the Sunni and the Kurds can get along in a federation. Iraq will serve as a catalyst for change, positive change” - George W Bush
Let’s bomb Iraq!
GEORGE Bush’s visit to Blighty inconvenienced nearly 40,000 fliers.
President George W. Bush’s recent stopover in London slowed the travel of nearly 40,000 fliers at Heathrow Airport, according to British Airways CEO Willie Walsh. Heathrow airport operator BAA confirmed today that 32 arrivals and 36 departures were canceled as a result of Bush’s trips into and out of Heathrow on June 15 and 16, The Associated Press writes.
Think of the carbon footprint he reduced…
Says the Mirror:
In John F Kennedy’s day, his mile-high “indiscretions” earned the presidential plane the name Air F*** One.
Dubya has turned it into Air Head One.
Cleaner Air One…
GEORGE Monbiot looks into the crystal ball at George Bush:
We shouldn’t be surprised to hear that George Bush dined with a group of historians on Sunday night. The president has spent much of his second term pleading with history. But however hard he lobbies the gatekeepers of memory, he will surely be judged the worst president the United States has ever had.
Even if historians were somehow to forget the illegal war, the mangling of international law, the trashing of the environment and social welfare, the banking crisis, and the transfer of wealth from rich to poor…
Yeah, what a loser…
