"Steadfast, Disciplined Bush Unchanged by Presidency"

[DeepModem Mom]

Wanted to post here an AP article posted by Cocoa in LBN, and now moved to Articles and Editorials -- thought GD DUers might want to see it here. The headline alone makes it worth a read!


Cocoa's original posting:


Steadfast, disciplined, Bush sees himself as unchanged by events of presidency

George W. Bush loves to tell people about the time Japan's prime minister compared him to Gary Cooper, hero of the Western movie "High Noon."

America's 43rd president cultivates the tough-guy image, offering himself as a blunt-spoken man of action. "I'm a gut player," he says.

"The man has a whole lot more wrinkles," says Johnson, now deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. Adviser Karen Hughes says that in the lines on Bush's face are etched "some of the weight of the world."

The president's idea of gardening might involve a chainsaw. But he also loves to work jigsaw puzzles, go for long walks and birdwatch -- not exactly typical Alpha male activities.

"He's the one, when we were at camp, who spotted the scarlet tanager," says the first lady. "He has great 20-20 eyesight."

1. Is he sure that he didn't say Gary Coleman

2. Such a good birdwatcher...

3. Man of action - exactly what we DON'T need right now.

We need someone who actually fucking THINKS before firing their gun.

4. "Narcissistic, Psychopathic Bush Unchanged by Reality"

"Steadfast becomes stubborn. Confident becomes cocky."

And stubborn has become obdurate. Cocky has become arrogant.

5. more like Don Knotts than Gary Cooper I'd say

It's hard to be affected by anything when one is oblivious to everything.

6. The lines on his face are etched from "some of the weight of the world".

No wonder the fucker keeps falling down.
Top heavy from all the misery he's brought forth.
He's responsible for that particular "weight gain" and needs to be excised from the world's diet come November.

Karen Hughes makes me :puke:

7. "He has great 20-20 eyesight."

It's too bad they didn't print the rest of Laura's quote.

Her actual quote was "He has great 20-20 eyesight, he has a beautiful singing voice, his farts smell like fresh cookies, and his blood may actually contain the cure for cancer. We're still looking into that one. But one thing is for sure: my husband is the Messiah."

I just spewed soda all over it!
