Bush stinking up Washington State

[Generic Other]

2 protests occurring simultaneously. One in downtown Bellevue, the other in front of rich fat cat phone magnate MaCaw's mansion. They are eating miniburgers under canopies on the green well-watered lawn.

Bush at Boeing field. Bush says he's determined to win Washington state in 2004? (Dream on.

Will continue to monitor this disgiusting tax payer subsidized campaign stop. Nethercutt is with him! Dirtbag. Jennifer Dung also on Air Force One.

People in my house yelling so loud at the ugly mugs, I can hardly follow the news report.

Will continue monitoring this hideous event.

1. thankfully he waited till i moved

to travel to bellevue, my home town!

[Generic Other]

2. Sickening

Invited guests only. Not open to the public. No public events. Some selected folk on the tarmac. Picked up a baby some fatass Republican cow brought to be blessed. “Mein child for the fatherland!”

News people talking about what a challenge to get to McCaw mansion without having to come in contact with public.

Police lining every corner of every intersection. Protestors as far as the eye can see in Bellevue.

[Generic Other]

3. About 25 flag waving freepers

mad because they can't get closer to president. Whine. Whine.

[peekaloo]

12. Union protestors are well represented!

Bush is an idiot. If he wanted to inflame resentment and draw the ire of folks in Washington, he chose the perfect venue--the exclusive Bellevue neighborhood he's visiting where the billionaires outnumber the trees. And on a day when Boeing workers got their pink slips, while others worked last shift.

[sandnsea]

5. Is that what that smell is?

I was wondering, it stinks all the way down to the Oregon Coast! Phew. He's got to get out of here!

[sham]

7. I'm sorry you all are suffocating up there in the NW

but it's nice to have some fresh air again in Texas for a few days!

[Cascadian]

35. Oh well! At least Howard Dean is coming to clear the air!

Anybody here in Seattle coming to see him at the Westlake rally on Sunday?

John

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

43. Yes. I have heard that over 3,000 have returned

electronic invitations. The crowd may approach 5,000.

[opiate69]

8. Lol

You stole my line!

[gristy]

6. Now that's my kind of party!!

People in my house yelling so loud at the ugly mugs, I can hardly follow the news report.

Thanks for the update!

[Generic Other]

10. All middle aged so they have to take their blood pressure pills!

About 1200 people waiting at each intersection in Bellevue

Hunts Point blockaded. 8 agencies including Coast Guard assigned to protect the monster.

Craig MacCaw--cellular phone billionaire. When the citizens of this state were ripped off by Enron and had no power, we had to conserve, pay extra, etc. That stupid cellphone ass had a $5000.00 dollar power bill at his mansion. And he just looked amazed that such a thing could be true!

Lots of signs:
America’s Least Wanted!
Citizen rights over Government might!
Hands off our forests you lying murdering thieves.

Some people have a pretzel toss game set up. Throw beanbag pretzels into Bush's mouth. He had a swastika on his forehead!

[KT2000]

9. Bush: Salmon Increasing

Heard he said that today. Is he talking about farmed salmon or what?? What a lying idiot.

[Generic Other]

11. He's become a salmon and forest expert overnight

Yesterday, he told the poor Oregonians that he would get the unemployed working clearing out brush in the forests! I think he said we needed to set the forests on fire to save the trees so we can cut them down.

Anyway, 35,000 Boeing workers laid off. So, bet they all will love the new forestry jobs cleaning brush on a steep grade for minimum wage.

Of course the rich fatcats are going to schmooze with Bush today to try and get lucrative high tech government contracts. After all, Bush is chief procurement officer. All kinds of cutting edge high tech ways to run a police state.

[Clete]

13. Seriously now,

this worries me. Lucrative contracts for Boeing aircraft could be in the making. If he keeps us in a state of constant war, he can provide jobs for Americans employed in war time industries, which helps the economy by default. This is how Hitler's economy worked. Factories were turned into secret manufacturers of war time goods and armaments, first for anticipated wars and then actual wars.

Germany was disarmed before Hitler came to power, so he could get the factories humming from the beginning with rearming Germany even though the Versaille Treaty forbade it. Since we already had a well armed military, it's just a matter of using stuff up with his present wars until we need to manufacture replacements. I really don't like where this future is going.

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. Supposedly the bastard even had the nerve to say "the SACRED salmon"

Salmon is to the NW tribes what buffalo is to the Plains peoples. Sacred indeed. But not to the Idiot Son of an Asshole who wants to cut down every tree and dam every river :grr:

[sandnsea]

26. They are, thanks to Clinton

We had made alot of progress with salmon populations. His plans are going to kill them all again. grrr. I can't speak.

[Doug Decker]

14. * is on live MSRNC...

* is speaking with all the cliches, "they hate freedom", "they hate liberty". Now *'s talking about 9-11.

He seems more fuzzy and less focused than usual.

[ewagner]

28. Is that really possible?

He seems more fuzzy and less focused than usual.

[Bandit]

34. "they hate freedom", "they hate liberty".

Why then are we trying to give it to them? If they hate freedom so much why are we in Iraq? I thought we were there to give them Freedom and Liberty. What is with this idiot? Either they hate it or want it but not both at the same time.:crazy:

[ThorsteinVeblen]

15. Is that what smells like shit?

Jesus Christ. Somebody, please, hose that asshole down.

[ObaMania]

16. Really!

I don't understand one f&*king thing he just said about the Iraq quagmire.

:wtf:

[ThorsteinVeblen]

17. Does anyone?

Has anyone ever?

He doesn't even understand what he is saying. His lips moves, he makes sounds that resemble English words but communicates nothing but jibberish.

[oasis]

25. His intention was to stall on the UN question. He hummed and hawed

about "foriegn" troops in Iraq after his usual mantra about "mass graves and "torture chambers".

"If you ask another long question you get a filibuster" Chimpy proudly asserted as if he came off like William Jennings Bryan.

[ObaMania]

18. ... and talk about a softball question

.. he took that last one from the "Bennett" guy from the Houston Chronicle. He asked about funding the space program. He has to be a plant!

:puke:

[Lisa]

39. no, wait -- the runoff from him would be noxious ...

The sheer hypocrisy alone would gag every vertebrate in Puget Sound!

[Generic Other]

19. Bush holds tarmac press conference

Now I know why they don't let him answer questions from the press.

Just met congressional Deleg. And business people. Unemloyment some of highest in country. A resouce based state with a significant high-tech component. Economic downturn. Stimulate growth with tax plan congress passed I signed. People getting child care tax credits. More money in pockets. Talking about helping high tech. Forest management. Kindling explosive fires. Clearcut forests to save them.

He's Answering Questions. I'll try and keep up.
Middle east: Palestinians say more suicide bombings what can you do?

"Keep working the issues. Imp. Fact if people want there to be peace, P has to dismantel terrorist networks. Suicide bombings acts of terror. Kill children, women, kill for sake of killing. Not interested in vision I promised. Those who love peace. Battle those few...Will continue to work the issue."

Iraq guerrilla war? How imp. to have more troops from other countries.

"Iraq is turning out to be a continuing battle on the war on terror. One thing to remove SH to protect America which we did. Then we found resistance from former Baathist officials they’d rather fight because they werent in power anymore. Also a foreign element moving into Iraq to fight us. Hate freedom in ME. Want to violently prevent from happening. Hard to characterize what movement. One of major battles of 21st century...9/11...who could forget...more foreign troops in Iraq…life of Iraqi improves, those who hate freedom destroy...better intell…solid evidence of whereabouts of thugs like Chemical Ali...only been 120 days. We haven’t been there a long time.. Torture chambers, massgraves, innocent people…psychology of people living under life under Saddam…we are going to stay the course…UN to play vital role in Iraq. That’s why attacked. Discussing resolutions to encourage other nations to participate in the process….

3 tax cuts, 2 wars, defits of trillions, Wall Street nervous about deficit. We’ll have deficit in half in 5 years if Congress doesn’t spend money (on social programs, right?).. Deficit caused by recession 2001...And then we were at war. American people expected that commander in chief support the troops (huh? The troops decided to invade Iraq without him? He was pressured?)....Then tax cuts…more concerned about someone finding a jo..."

DAMN He's turning my brain to jello. GREEN jello.

21. Rather than take a direct route, they've closed I-5.

Only way into Seattle from the south. 15 vans, a truck, 7 squad cars, 20 motorcycle cops, 2 limos--all for a man who ought to be sitting by the freeway entrance with a cardboard sign saying "Will work for beer."

Gee, do I sound bitter?

[Generic Other]

24. Protestors chanting as Bush rolls across floating bridge

Prevented from swarming the freeway! Rats.

on edit: Even the boats on Lake Washington have been restricted. Now the traffic is coming to a stop. Ha Ha. Notorious Seattle traffic jam doesn't give a fuck if you claim to be president!

[Coffee Coyote]

31. not true

Highway 99, especially by way of 509, is the best southern route into Seattle. I could get from Burien to Seattle in under 10 minutes.

[ScotTissue]

20. I was there!

Drove through Bellevue today and saw the protest. unfortunately, I have to keep my job (hard to do these days), so I couldn't stop. I'd judge about equal pro/con, though the crowds did kind of merge into one--I saw a Dean sign in front of the Freeps!

If you saw a man with a mustache driving a van with his thumb up...that was me!

[Lisa]

22. I was wondering about the overcast sky (and odd smell) ...

I looked across the Strait at Hurricane Ridge (in Washington State) and saw clouds gathering. Must be the Inauguration Day Effect!

Ick. Only one thin undefended border between me and Little George.

[cmf]

23. Ha ha

LMAO at Bush thinking he can win this state in 2004. Yeah, right.

I wonder how the downtown Seattle protest is going.

[Generic Other]

27. Boos and screams of liar!

Crowd with "Impeach Bush" signs. 1000s. Behind barricades. Gotta keep 'em from crashing a garden party!

[Generic Other]

29. Hey, there's my sister-in-law on tv!

She's got a reversible sign that says "liar" and "thief." Her husband is with her (he is a diehard Repub, so I can't say whether he is a protestor or a freeper).

No way did Bush miss her sign! Yeah!

[Generic Other]

32. Nothing sinister according to King-5

but fighter pilots have been shooting flares at private planes invading presidential airspace. A floatplane has been forced down over Lake Washington.

He's leaving the MaCaw place. Emptied all the wallets. Time to go.

[Aristus]

33. Get that frickin' rat-bastard cowboy wanna-be outta my state!

Send him back down to his hell-hole of a pig farm and let him fry his *laugh* brains some more!

[Generic Other]

36. Friday afternoon traffic will be chaotic

Everyone is required to stop his or her car, take a deep breath and hold it.

No commercial flights until that idiot is gone either. 10 planes breached the president's airspace today.

I wonder if kite fliers are going to be detained as well? :)

[nofurylike]

37. thanks for the great

running commentary, Generic Other!

my complete sympathies to you the other Thinking people of the heretofore beautiful state of Washington.

hang in!

[stumblnrose]

38. Macaw and Bush are perfect marriage

Macaw family notorious drug users. Craig's brother overdosed and died last year in his bathtub. He was depressed about someone stealing his yacht. I know this is tragedy but why do the families of the scum at the top of this current heap live no differently than street junkies but above the law?

[beanball]

40. "Bush out west"

he was here in arizona last week and the stench is still in the air.

[9215]

41. Bush: Fascist gun in the West

On my way to work I saw some people with "Bush Lied, People Died" signs and gave them a loud honk.

I thought the smell was an open sewer......then I remembered Bush was in town.

[peekaloo]

42. LOL!

great line worth stealing! }(


or does he say "Up West"?
