Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides

[blogslut]

Whoa.

This article from Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue:

LINK - http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7267.shtml

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.

“I’m not meeting with that goddamned bitch,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”

President Bush flashes the bird before going live at the White House.
Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “motherfucking traitors.” He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “bullshit protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW assholes that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’t keep their members under control.”

1. It won't be long now...

It would be SO SWEET to see him totally lose it live on tv.
paging helen thomas...

[Al-CIAda]

18. I believe Kerry had that chance during the debates many times

but failed to -or refused to -make the fucker pop.

Kerry was tossing him around like a lion plays with a ball. He should have crushed the bastard, make him break down and freak right there on stage.

[The Backlash Cometh]

51. Kerry won all three debates. What more did you want from the man?

Bush would limp off the stage after getting a sad, resigned embrace from his family.

Never in the history of the US has someone done as good as Kerry in the debates, and still lost the election.

One of those things that make you go hmmm...

[Dinger]

82. You Are Exactly Right. Except For One Thing . . .

Kerry didn't lose the 2004 election, period. He smoked bu$h in those debates. I taped them all, but my favorite is debate #1. I think it was the second debate where* charged the moderator.

[ObaMania]

84. "Kerry won all three debates."

Depends on who you ask. Just for the fact that he didn't hammer him when he could've means (to me at least) that he didn't win all three.

He had a good showing in all and won all IMO, but the M$M directed folks to think otherwise.

[central scrutinizer]

98. You are right, except

Kerry forgot Poland!!!!

[mistertrickster]

186. I disagree. Kerry was confident and in command, yes. But Bush

kept hammering him with "he voted for the war. How can he criticise me when he voted for it."

Of course, Kerry DIDN'T vote for the war, he voted to give the President authority to go to war to pressure Saddam Hussein.

But that's a fine point that is hard to make in a debate.

No less a debator than Gore called Bush shrewd and cagey. He proved to be all those things in the debate. And don't forget the listening device that fed him instructions.

[The Backlash Cometh]

207. Bush didn't win those debates.

If anything, Bush is an underachiever and that resonates with his base.

[okieinpain]

107. are frat brothers allowed to treat each other that way.

[jillan]

112. I think Kerry did that in the first one.

Remember when Bush starting talking and screaming when it wasn't his turn?

[LSK]

146. if Kerry made Bush pop during the debates, it would be spun

Theyd make it out that Kerry was mean and nasty and made Bush cry.

[Peter Frank]

221. Especially In The First Debate...

...Bush was grimacing like an arrogant emperor totally exposed to have an new suit of invisible clothes.

Kerry should have used his experience as a prosecutor to get him to crack.

[rrrevolution]

127. I sent Helen Thomas a Q to ask Bush, but have not heard back .....

In short, would Bush and all his fellow elected and appointed officials pledge they would not profit from the war in Iraq (which is being waged to bring freedom and democracy) through their investments with companies(ie. Halliburton) and individuals with government contracts to secure and rebuild Iraq, by paying the profit amount into the Public Treasury to help offset the costs of the war?

Can you imagine Bush swearing off profits from this war?

Nope, me either.

But putting the Question out there and watching his response would show the world volumes.

[krkaufman]

185. Or, if they're unwilling to zero their profits, at least cap them...

... at a reasonable level.

[Maraya1969]

215. OHHHHHH YEA - Get that question in - remind him of what Eisenhower

and Roosevelt said about people making money off of wars. That will make him blow his top.

If I could get into a question and answer with that man I'd ask that one.

[HeeBGBz]

139. He certainly has his panties in a bunch, eh?

Fucking wacko.

[Snotcicles]

199. Wouldn't it be great if one of those aides had it on tape? n/t

[catzies]

208. Ah, yes. Yes indeed. I'm ready. Anytime now, bring it on, George!

:popcorn:

[mopaul]

2. yes, the fucker is dangerously unstable, and at OUR peril

[ultraist]

123. Yes, he is. Very Stalinesque.

:scared:

[Imagevision]

168. Bush is no more then a punk in power, all because of daddy...!

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[Mabus]

200. and to think I was freaked out about Ronnie that close to the button

Now, we've got a mentally unstable (as compared to Ronnie the mental incompetent) man-child with his finger on the trigger saying things like "bring it on."

:nuke:

[wakeme2008]

3. Sounds like

"Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “bullshit protectors” over their ears during his speech"

There was a lot more than one person with Bullshit Protectors" on. :rofl:

[IndyOp]

105. Isn't it great? The * noticed the bullshit protectors!

Lots of them!

:bounce:

[bballny]

4. Music to my ears

anything that gets under his skin is great, Hopefully he will soon do it in public and show the entire country what we have always known.

[Connie_Corleone]

5. If this is true, why don't someone record one of these tirades?

We need Bush on tape saying stuff like this or we'll have to endure 3 more years of this idiot.

[GreenPartyVoter]

163. What are the odds aides can get in there with listening devices on, though

Security is gonna be major and I would think getting caught with the Patriot Act going on would be HUGE.

Best bet is to be on a phone attached to a recording device when he goes off, I guess.

[Judi Lynn]

6. blogslut, you've made my day! Woooohooooooo! He's about to blow!

From the article:

“Who gives a flying fuck what the polls say,” he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the President and I’ll do whatever I goddamned please. They don’t know shit.”

Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA bill, flipped an extended middle finger at the camera before going live. Aides say the President often “flips the bird” to show his displeasure and tells aides who disagree with him to “go to hell” or to “go fuck yourself.”
(snip/...)

Ah, ha ha ha HA HA HA. Ha ha ha.

[Maru Kitteh]

77. charming. No wonder he has such quality people around him

:sarcasm:

[electropop]

89. This must be why he still polls as "likable"

though his performance approval is in the toilet. Folks just love the company of a crude lout who swears like a drunken -um- president and flashes obscene gestures at them. Apparently. :sarcasm:

[SammyWinstonJack]

96. "Power is being the President"

This guy's ego is HUGH!!11111 What a power trip he is on! I guess this is what you get when a spoiled frat boy elitist worthless......knows the only reason he is where he is, is because he stole both elections and got away with it! This jackass has been over the top arrogant since before the Supreme Court decision. And he has only gotten worse. Someone needs to remind that worthless POS that he WORKS for us, not the other way around! He isn't a Dictator, no matter how much easier he thinks it would be!

[Judi Lynn]

106. Yes, that ego is truly HUGH!!111!1!!11. But why shouldn't it be?

He's a great driver!



A fine dancer!

And what a sense of fashion!1!!11!

[SammyWinstonJack]

110. What a goof!

He thinks he's all that and a truck load of chips! Idiot!

[mcscajun]

190. Oh, he's a truckload of chips all right...

...cow chips.

:rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

202. LOL

:spray:

[Theres-a]

171. Niceeeeeeeeeee pics!!1111

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What a moran.

[mike_c]

7. utter meltdown coming....

Please please please let him do it on live TV.

[Dinger]

88. Didn't He Say Something About Press Conferences One A Month? (nt)

[raccoon]

109. That would be the consummation of my (and probably lots of

other peoples' dreams.

Reminds me of a scene in Stephen King's THE DEAD ZONE.

[intheflow]

205. Yes, but in the "real world" version of

The Dead Zone, the assassin is just as deluded the chimp... and on the same side:

[raccoon]

226. Great photo. That is the TRUTH. nt

[SalmonChantedEvening]

8. And further into the bunker he retreats.

Away from reality and into safe, happy delusion.

[sniffa]

9. ahhhh... what a great week on some fronts

:bounce:

[mattclearing]

10. This strikes me as bullshit.

I know Bush has a reputation for a short-fuse, but this seems kinda ridiculous.

If he were really like this, you'd think the WH press corps would have gotten the best of him by now, and he doesn't seem the slightest bit angry around them.

[mopaul]

13. all presidents explode in private, bush is no exception

nixon and lbj and others talk real tough behind the scenes, so to me it's not all that unbelievable.

[Stephanie]

21. do you trust the source?

The language doesn't really seem believable:

“She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”

Not really natural dialogue.

[charlie]

30. Nope

Thompson's long been publishing these "insider exposes" without any secondary corroboration ever surfacing. He got caught in a big whopper a couple of years ago, cheesed off a lot of folks who used him as a source (including Truthout, if I remember right). He blamed it on a con artist who supposedly had been scamming him for twenty years. And what did he do then? Combed his site for articles referencing this character and deleted them all.

Doug's mea culpa:
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=19&num=2529

[Stephanie]

32. right, that was about Wilkinson?

I remember that -

[charlie]

33. Good memory

That was it.

[proud patriot]

203. Source has history of being wrong

IMHO..... however it sounds on the mark , I can picture
the little dictator losing his temper.

He's also been know to swear . I wish the source
had a better history .

[Surya Gayatri]

225. I agree, something doesn't ring true...

Somehow I can't imagine this verbally challenged cretin coming out with such a coherent line without coaching. Toilet expletives, yes. This, no!

[mattclearing]

102. That's true, but some of this seems ridiculous.

I'll wait for more reputable people to report it. If he was really talking like this to the help, you'd think they'd be springing leaks all over the place.

[SlipperySlope]

145. I Agree - NT

[Domitan]

22. You forgot something

http://www.unknownnews.net/040714bushstormout.html


Bush stormed out of a press conference after being questioned about his friend Ken Lay, king of Enron.

This has been confirmed in more legit sites (as the above site is the only one with the pic as far as I can see)

http://www.mallasch.com/journalism/article.php?sid=912

[mcscajun]

191. I still am not buying it, much as I'd *like* to believe it.

Both the links you mention are references back to Capitol Hill Blue. So all we have here is one not-that-credible source.

[Domitan]

228. Here's a reliable source

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2004/07/10/cnenron10.xml&menuId=242&sSheet=/money/2004/07/10/ixcity.html

President Bush's links to Enron were back in the spotlight yesterday following the indictment of former chairman Ken Lay on 11 criminal charges.

The White House found itself on the defensive as it sought to play down the friendship between Mr Bush and his biggest donor.


Mr Bush walked away from a media briefing, refusing to answer questions about Mr Lay, a close adviser dubbed "Kenny Boy" by the president.

[mcscajun]

229. When I say I'm not buying it...I don't mean his sometime habit

of storming out of press conferences. I'm talking about the obscenity-laced tirades quoted in the OP.
Guess my response fell a bit short of making that clear.

It's Capitol Hill Blue I don't believe...not you. :)

[Toots]

40. When does the whitehouse press core ever see Bush*?

They get told what to print by Scotty and when Bush* does make his annual appearance it is all so carefully scripted that it is a joke.

[rosesaylavee]

54. There are many many

photos of Bush flipping the bird to reporters and the like. And having some life knowledge of untreated alcoholics, rage is a symptom that is hard to hide. These reports have been around for a long time.

Was it Clarke who reported that Bush came in when he was talking with Condie Rice and said some outrageous over the top thing about how he was going to kill Saddam - maybe in 2002? (Help DUers with a link?)

And doesnt't the WH Press corp get trounced if they don't act in unison as they did with the Rove questioning last month? Individuals are still kicked out from time to time for asking the wrong question.

[Minstrel Boy]

87. "Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out."

That was Time Magazine, I believe.

[mattclearing]

101. That's different.

That's a statement. And I remember when he yelled at Andrew Card about getting cheeseburgers.

I know Bush says mean and rude things. I don't believe he is recklessly dangerously crazy like this article's trying to say.

Believe what you want, but my bullshit detector went off.

[wildwww2]

194. Bullshit detector or not. This evil being attacked a nation on the other

side of the world. For bullshit reasons. And our troops and innocent Iraqi`s are being murdered everyday because of Bu$h. That is recklessly danagerously crazy in my opinion. I would rather be cussed out continuously every day for the rest of my life, than to be dead like Casey Sheehan because of a batch of Bu$h lies. I don`t care if he never cusses at anyone. I know a psychotic murderer when I see one. And "racist boy Bu$h" is one.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[Blue_In_AK]

217. Mine, too

although it's not too difficult to imagine this scenario.

[Z_I_Peevey]

95. Reads like bullshit to me too.

I don't doubt that President Sociopath is a vile and crude man in private, I just think these particular quotes are made up.

[mattclearing]

108. Thank you.

I know he's mean and probabaly says these kinds of things, but something about this report just seems like it's telling us things we want to hear.

[ultraist]

125. Oh, well, it's entertaining! lol

We know Bush is a control freak with a short fuse, which makes the story somewhat believable.

[progressivebydesign]

134. Then I guess you haven't been paying attention.

Bush is famous for his bizzare obscenity-laced tirades around the white house, and his equally odd religious ramblings. This is NOT the first time we've heard of this.

[DefenseLawyer]

219. There is something about that story

that bothers me. I can't quite put my finger on it but it has a very "National Inquirer" writing style that makes it seem phony. I am with you in that I think the premise of the story is factual, but the actual story was made up.

[Octafish]

97. Yeah. That White House press corpse is doing its job.

They sat on their notepads when Helen Thomas got moved to the back of the bus.

[mattclearing]

122. He's taken some tough questions, if not many, and been fine.

I'm just saying, if the concept of Cindy Sheehan supposedly sends him into a blind rage, then why no sign on camera?

[ultraist]

126. They are sending their troops out to counter protest Cindy

He's pissed, I have no doubts. Those people aren't simply grassrooters, they are paid GOPers, just like we saw during the Gore recount brouhaha and his campaign/public speaking events. His audiences are handpicked and a LOT of stagecraft goes into his public appearances. He is very insulated.

Furthemore, the man is nuts. He's a control freak who throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. We see evidence of this in how the Repuke party is now, more than ever, brown shirt locksteppers.

[not fooled]

154. Furthemore, the man is nuts.

No doubt...wasn't there a story a while back about how before he made a public appearance somewhere, the site had to be paved so that * didn't step on dirt???

And remember his trip to Africa, when in one country (at least), the poor people and shacks had to be cleared out of the way so * wouldn't see them?

[ultraist]

165. Geez.

And to think of all of *'s little neurotic oddities, that we DON'T hear about, that must be accommodated. I bet the list is quite long.

[otohara]

118. This is the 3rd Such Story -

Like most rumors....it's probably true

[mattclearing]

121. I believe where there's smoke there's fire, but this doesn't sound right.

Like I said, people would be leaking all over the place if he was this mean to them. No one likes a tyrant.

[otohara]

172. Bush Is An World Class Asshole - I Believe It!

we know for a fact, he favors his middle finger quite frequently. He thinks this behavior is funny, endearing - yet typical of CEO's. Tyrants in the office -

[progressivebydesign]

132. This is NOT the first time we've heard of this.

He is famous for his obscenity-laced tirades around the white house, interspersed with strange religious comments. He's a freakin' nut !

[fujiyama]

183. It seems to be in his character

I'm sure others remember his "fuck Saddam. We're taking him out" statement. But I'm kinda unsure about capital hill blue's credibility myself.

Either way, he seems to be a megalomaniacal ass hole.

[Domitan]

11. Please let someone leak a tape or video of this!!!

Let the truth be revealed!

[Connie_Corleone]

16. I was thinking about that this morning when I woke up.

Get that idiot on tape!

[greekspeak]

12. Is this made up? Surely he did not say these things

Is this some sort of Onion-like story? Calling VFW members assholes? Calling a grieving mother a goddamned bitch? CUSSING? CUSSING? No this has to be fake. Please tell me it isn't fake. PLEASE?

[mopaul]

17. what's so unbelievable about it?

seems perfectly believable to me

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

19. The sheer quantity of the leaks makes it suspect...

This reads like a story from the "National Inquirer." As much as I enjoy it as light fiction, I give it very little credence.

[greekspeak]

25. Because the Radical Right has not divorced from him for using

wordy-durds. Because the leader of the free world whoever he is is expected to refrain from calling veterans "assholes." And the fact that the story has a very Onion-like quality about it.

[walldude]

195. I'm with you.. (happening alot today mopaul)

Why would people doubt this. Because the press corps doesn't report this stuff? :eyes: When do they "report on anything?

[Jade Fox]

28. People thought the same thing about Nixon until....

he was caught on tape swearing like a sailor, making racist and anti-
semitic remarks, etc.

I don't doubt this report for a minute.

[SammyWinstonJack]

104. Personally I hope bush** has a "Lonesome Rhodes'" moment.

Let the American public hear what he really thinks of them! Sweeet! :bounce:

[TNOE]

111. Yep - very very true

I'm surprised so many doubt this - Bush* is a SOCIOPATH and LIAR and obviously unstable - of course he would act like this. I remember how shocked my Dad was that Nixon would talk like that. Think how aghast the Christians would be to hear this - they pretty much have him right up there with Jesus himself. YES - GET IT ON TAPE.

[Judi Lynn]

36. Same guy whose voice was audible over the mic he thought was off

during his campaign when he called the New York Times reporter a "number one asshole?"

His behavior was shabby even BEFORE he stole the pResidency.

[smoogatz]

64. I thought it was "major league asshole."

And he did flip reporters the bird recently, after signing the CAFTA bill. And I have no doubt that he thinks Cindy Sheehan is a bitch, and is petulantly refusing to meet with her.

[Judi Lynn]

73. Yep, you're right! I forgot. Thanks for the reminder.

I think there are a few "DU'ers" who think these _Bush halo photos are real!

[Buns_of_Fire]

93. I think it was. IIRC, DICK was right next to him and chimed in,

"Big time..." They didn't know the mic was on.

While I don't doubt any of it, I'd really prefer a second source past CapitolHillBlue.

Maybe Kitty Kelly's got some free time...

Either way, I'd like to see a whole, corroborated-up-the-wazoo story about Commander Codpiece's emotional instability spread far and wide. Put the SOBs in a position where they're forced to DENY it. :evilgrin:

[walldude]

197. It was Major League Asshole and it was

New York Times reporter Adam Clymer who was the brunt of that comment. You know I don't mind the cussing.. it's the hypocrisy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

174. I've heard stories about his vile temper and cursing that date back

... to when he was Texas Gov. This isn't new information and while I'd love to have it on tape, I don't find it hard to believe.

[insane_cratic_gal]

14. Ok ok.. but

they are wrong. Or exaggerating the truth.




they state this under the cap. "President Bush flashes the bird before going live at the White House."

Ok much as I think this asshole deserves some bad Karmic voodoo, that finger flipping photo op was done when he was Governor.

Since they exaggerated that fact, they tend to loose some credibility with me for the rest of the tirade errr story

[Ganja Ninja]

31. It's a stock photo.

They may be a little misleading by using it but do you really think he's changed since he was governor?

I believe the accusations based on what I've seen of him on TV. It's a Fristian diagnosis for sure but what the hell.

[TNOE]

114. I LOVE YOUR NOVAK PIC

DOUCHE BAG OF LIBERTY - EVERY TIME I SEE IT - IT CRACKS ME UP!

[FormerDittoHead]

46. You're right - this is irresponsible journalism and we shouldn't quote it

Everyone knows this picture is from when he was Governor.

He may very well be flipping the bird as President every time before the red light comes on, but the article clearly suggests (read the caption) that the photo is from his Presidency, and it's not.

insane_cratic_gal got it right.

Everyone else read this: Look, everyone knows Bush lied when he says he wasn't given special treatment during Vietnam, but those fake memos negated EVERYTHING, and turned everything around. Everyone forgot about the STORY and focused on the REPORTING.

This is no different. As much as the story mis-labels this picture, so must we discount the rest of its contents until it can be clearly corroborated.

I believe EVERY SINGLE WORD of the story and it comes as NO surprise, but SORRY, this mis-leading caption kills the *whole* story....

[progressivebydesign]

137. The article credits that photo correctly.....

They mention that it's from his governship. But it also mentions his recent flipping off, which is also on camera. Have you NEVER made a mistake in posting something?? The article does NOT mislead people in anyway, and it's simply a mistake. The info in the article has been reported before from other sources, including Bush's own mother.. she said that he was tossed off golf courses because of his vile temper, foul mouth, and throwing and breaking of golf clubs.

[FormerDittoHead]

143. The caption has been changed.

The original caption said in clear words that the picture above was a picture of the President flipping the bird. It has since been changed.

We have to be aware of "compromised" sources being used in anti-Bush reports, because, just like "Rather-Gate" they can be turned around to discount the main story, and turn into a focus on US.

Don't put it past them. Bush got out of serving and then lied about the special treatment he got, but in the end it was Dan Rather who lost his job.

[Terran]

79. That video of him as Governor of Texas

flipping off the camera is one of the few things that make this whole report somewhat credible to me. That look in his eyes suggests a personality who would do and say all those things.

BUT, capitolhillblue has reported this kind o thing before. About a year ago, before the elections, Bush was said to be positively Final Days Nixonian in his behavior, but that was never confirmed publicly either. Basically I think the specifics are probably BS, but the substance of it is probably true.

[mcscajun]

192. You nailed it...

"...the specifics are probably BS, but the substance of it is probably true."

You can't trust CapitolHillBlue, but it's easy to believe that * has behaved like that. Just no proof. Yet.

I'm keepin' all of my toes and fingers crossed that this joker has a public meltdown sometime soon...three and half more years of this is just too much to contemplate.

[rosesaylavee]

178. Maybe they've changed the caption today

because I just looked at the site and this is what the caption reads:
"Bush flashes the bird, something aides say he does often and has been doing since his days as governor of Texas."

[emanymton]

15. Is This Another BS Piece From An Outsider?

Reads like someone trying to tell an audience something he thinks the audience wants to hear.

Gotta ask, "Where did the writer get his information? Generally speaking, those who know don't talk, those who talk don't know!"



Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

[progressivebydesign]

130. Capitol Hill Blue has been around for a while..

and they've been proven right many times. I don't doubt any of this, as it's obvious Bush has a terrible temper. Don't you recall the stories from Babs Bush that George was thrown off the Club's golf course for swearing and throwing clubs????? This is not a stretch at all to hear those things.

[1932]

20. That's the man with his finger on the nuclear button. Feel safe?

If this is true, the quotes in this story are the biggest breach of confidence by WH staffers since Bush was elected.

Or they're not slips and this is meant to create an image of Bush they want to project. I suppose if people think he's mad an impetuous they might not want to challenge him.

That's why his father illegally invaded Panama.

[Dora]

66. And that finger is the middle finger. n/t

[Jade Fox]

23. Somewhere Nixon is laughing.....

This sounds so much like him. He, too, was a control freak who exploded
with rage when no longer able to steer things his way.

Here's hoping Bushco meets a Nixonian fate. :toast:

[Skidmore]

24. "Violent mood swings"...

Does someone have to clock him to stop him? Might explain the bruises and scrapes.

[plusfiftyfive]

26. Interesting article

A little short on details, dates and names of the "sources", but understandable in this Bush world!

To think that America is being ruled by a "madman", not at all far from the truth, even without these exclusive insider visions.

I essentially believe the article is truthful, and that Bush is a very dangerous person to have running the most powerful nation ever on this planet. And we are supposed to sit around waiting for another 3 years?
How can we impeach the madman for mental health reasons, his and our own?

[sniffa]

39. weLcome to DU

:hi:

[WoodrowFan]

27. old article, bad source. check out their anti-Clinton articles

this article has been around for awhile (I posted it maybe a year ago). Then I looked at the source. Capitalhillblue also posted every anti-Clinton crazy story you ever heard on freerepublic as true. They still think Hillery is lesbian and that the Clintons "murdered" Vince Foster...Check out their archives.

While I wish this story were true, it needs to come froma more reliable source...


on edit:

see this story as a sample from 2003..

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=13&num=1452
Clearly, divorce is one of the decisions Clinton must make if she decides to run for President in 2004. Her husband’s womanizing continues and tabloids have linked him to a long string of new lovers, including actress Demi Moore.

“Clinton is more of a whorehound now than when he was in the Oval Office,” says a New York City police officer who has worked guard detail on the former President. “The guy must be taking Viagra with all the tail he’s getting.”

Even some of the city’s high-priced call girls have told New York vice cops they have been servicing the former President.

“Some of them are just bragging and blowing smoke,” one vice officer told Capitol Hill Blue, “but I’ve known some of these girls a long time and I believe one or two of them. From all the stories I’ve been hearing, it’s possible.”

Capitol Hill Blue has also learned that Clinton’s Secret Service team has a higher-than-normal turnover rate as agents asked to be transferred away from the former President, even if the transfer means a lower-profile post.

“The agents don’t respect him,” says one retired Secret Service agent. “Can you blame them?”

the Bullshit Protectors at the VFW is new.

45. Events described in article are recent (sheehan and VFW protest)

No?

The source might be biased, but it wasn't the article you saw a year ago.

49. Easy to make that mistake

An unhinged overmedicated Bush is a recurrent theme of Thompson's "exposes."

[WoodrowFan]

53. a lot of the details are the same

a lot of the details are the same. I'm not saying it's not true, but given the source's record I think we need independent verification before we pull out the rubber room.

[shrike]

115. The clinton story reminds me of stuff I read in the tabloids

Same old, same old.

BTW, the call girl thing -- do you honestly think Clinton has to pay for it?

[Douglas Carpenter]

29. great article

I forward it on to several friends--I wish the whole country would know about this.

[nytemare]

34. I remember a previous story along this lines that came out before

the election.

I just wish we could get a mainstream source on this, or a decent corroborating source.

[wake.up.america]

35. I agree, it will not be long before the men come with a white jacket ...

Don't leave this guy alone with Cindy.

He will try to do bodily harm.

He so used to getting his way and the pressure is now on.
The Emperor with nothing to offer except BS is being revealed.

The thought he can't snap his fingers and have people come to attention is too much.

He is has done enough damage to world.

Leave, go back to the "ranch".

37. The VFW part is true

52. What is his stand on strawberries?

[Misunderestimator]

41. Wasn't that "bird" pic of Bush taken while he was Governor of TX?

Yet they insinuate that it was while he was in the White House with the caption "President Bush flashes the bird before going live at the White House." I have no doubt that he probably flashes the bird and cusses all the time, but this seems over the top.

Who are these anonymous aides ratting on the boy?

[WoodrowFan]

56. yes it was

it's from pre-2000. But he reportedly flipped off a lot of protestors in 2004 when he passed them on the way to his rallies. His middle finger seems to have a pretty loose hinge as it flys up a LOT.

[SheilaT]

42. This is not a reliable source.

Again, ask yourself why you haven't heard about this elsewhere. Who is Doug Thompson that he and he alone has this "inside information".

Don't be so willing to believe what you want to believe.

[yodermon]

133. Yes, it is disinformation

of the best kind.
lol funny.

[librechik]

159. it's porno for liberal political freaks like us

ooo it's just what we want to hear--made my day!

too bad no one (who could) will confirm it!

[progressivebydesign]

136. Doug Thompson has been around for years... where have you been?

He has had some truly juicy tidbits over the past years, and have panned out nicely. The reports of bush's tirades and temper have been ALL over. This is not a new charge. The guy flips off the press... does that sound like a man in control???

following him around everywhere he goes, I bet the MSM will get an eyeful and this all won't be so secret anymore. Very likely he is not on the wagon anymore if he is having these uncontrolled rages. That may come out too.

Funny we aren't hearing or seeing Babs or Laura these days. Must be they are lying low because of all those Iraqi women getting the shaft.

I am holding out more realistic hope for Fitzgerald.

[magellan]

55. Orwell wrote fiction too

Turned out he was right about some things.

I don't trust the source on this but at the same time I don't doubt Bush** has very similar episodes, if not exactly as reported. I can't forget the look on his face when he came out (late) for that press conference at the ranch a few weeks ago. His expression, voice and demeanor said he'd just given somebody hell off-stage and he was still fuming about it.

My gut instinct with Bush** has been the same from the start and so far he's lived up to it: he is not in his right mind. He is an unreasonable person who will not hear other opinions and he has no qualms about resorting to violence (verbal, mental, emotional, perhaps even physical) to get what he wants. What's most important to him is the validation that comes with being right and feeling the approval of others. Having those needs stymied is probably where his fondness for alcohol originated. I'm sure the rising dissent and disapproval are driving him down into his own personal hell.

Sweet. :)

[charlie]

61. Yep. From DAY ONE

An account from Ron Suskind, who wrote Paul O'Neill's memoirs of his time at the White House:

"It was at the Madison hotel. It's Bush's first full day in Washington as president-elect, December 18, 2000. O'Neill sits with Cheney and Bush. They have cheeseburgers ordered in advance. That's the way it works...

"O'Neill's got a three-page handwritten list of the good reasons why he should not be the Treasury secretary, things that the president ought to think about...

"O'Neill believes global warming is a real, important issue. Some people might not agree with him on that. O'Neill had supported Bush's father's tax increase. A lot of people might have a problem with that. He recommended at one point a gasoline tax to reduce consumption and have money left over for the environment. These were all things that could cause trouble. And O'Neill likes to speak his mind. He wanted Bush and Cheney to know that. He comes to his own conclusions, and it might be hard for him to be just another bird in the nest.

"Meanwhile, the cheeseburgers haven't arrived, so Bush, as O'Neill tells it, kind of snaps up from the conversation and says, 'Where are the cheeseburgers?' Andy Card, the new chief of staff, is summoned, and he says to Card, 'You're the chief of staff. You think you're up to getting some cheeseburgers?' You know, not friendly. Card all but runs out of the room..."

[Walt Starr]

57. Capitolhillbluie is a notoriously unreliable source

I'd pretty much say that if they printed it, it has to be bullshit.

[Captain Hilts]

78. True. This isn't a reliable source. It's notches below Drudge.

Too bad. I'd like to believe this.

[NewJeffCT]

80. thank you for pointing that out

I've been on DU for nearly 2 years now and have seen nothing reliable from them.

Would I be shocked if this were true? Not in the least, but nothing they've printed that I can recall these 2 years has panned out.

[Q]

58. Why are so many challenging the 'truth' of this?

Never seen so many Bush defenders on one thread. This is not a 9-11 conspiracy theory. It's easy to believe because Bush has a lifelong history of blowing up, swearing and acting crazy. It's entirely possible that a few of Bush's staff are making a couple bucks on the side with this insider information.

Remember...this is the same guy that mocked a death row inmate and has been a drunk/coke addict for most of his life.

[fishnfla]

62. Um maybe because this douche Thompson made it up?

which makes it a lie. He has been pedaling this same story in different versions for nearly a year now. (EDIt to add: the only source he ever quotes by name is the author shilling his book)

Nobody is defending Bush. DUers are like that dude Moyer with the BS filter, we can recognize crap when we see it


I think its more embarrassing that people are falling for it

Where's that rense link, I'm off to find something more believable :eyes:

[charlie]

65. Not challenging the "truth"

Thompson's been bagged before for presenting fiction as real. I'm not much interested in someone telling me half-truths because it's what I want to hear. Gullibility isn't a useful trait.

[SidDithers]

71. Bush defenders?...LMAO

This source posts an article about a deranged Bush every few months. They're not a reliable source. Posters here are criticizing the source, not defending the subject.

That's one of the differences between liberals and conservatives - most of us still retain some of our critical thinking skills.

Sid

[Q]

83. Critical thinking skills?

Bush is a Caligula bordering on insanity. The issue shouldn't be about the messenger...but about the message that is more than likely true given Bush's past.

Whether THIS particular story contains the WHOLE truth is besides the point. The point is that Bush is an arrogant, egocentric 'dictator' that 'rules' outside the Constitution and thinks he can do or say anything he wants. The comments quoted in this article are right on character for this guy.

And by the way...you'll NEVER find the sources you're waiting for to back up this story. Bush doesn't run a secretive, dictatorial government for nothing. People are afraid of him...and for good reason.

[Stephanie]

90. I could write comments that are in character for him too -

That wouldn't make them true.

[SidDithers]

99. Yes, critical thinking...

when this source has been shown previously to just plain "make shit up", you take everything that he subsequently posts with a grain of salt.

The story might be, and quite probably is true, or it might not. If I'm going to believe something based on only one source, that source isn't going to be Doug Thompson.

Sid

[Stephanie]

81. It may be easy to believe but the source has been proven unreliable

We'll wait for a better source, thanks.

[Cocoa]

91. questioning this ridiculous bullshit makes us "Bush defenders?"

think about that reasoning for approx. two seconds and I'm sure you'll see how wrong that is and you'll regret writing it.

apology accepted in advance.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

100. I think you're getting it wrong. Most of us would believe that * could

behave like this, say these things. It's more that the source has not been demonstrated to be trustworthy. Multiple stories along these same lines with no corroboration.

If the source is completely unverifiable, what good does it do anyone here to trade in what amounts to rumor?

[Walt Starr]

173. Because Capital Hill Blue is a BAD SOURCE

In all the time I've seen crap posted from that site over here, I have YET to see a single story ending up as true.

[Mich Otter]

59. The meltdown is coming, it is time to step up the pressure on Bush.

Bush is such a weak-ass. He has to be surrounded by people who agree with him.
The Democratic Party could really get themselves some good publicity if they get going after the Republicans now. Keep up the pressure talking about the failures of the Bush administration and all the Republicans who have supported the string of failures.

[LiberalinNC]

60. And he won on his Religion beliefs w/ a mouth like that!

<Sarcasm>

[slor]

63. Thanks for posting n/t

[derby378]

67. Does Doug Thompson ever provide proof of these rants?

Just once, I want to come across an MP3 of Bush calling Sheehan a "goddamned bitch." They got similar stuff on Clinton, y'know.

[DemReadingDU]

69. exactly, I'd like to hear proof too.

[aden_nak]

68. I have no doubt that it's true. But not because of my loathing of Bush.

That's how people are. Especially arrogant people. Especially people who have been handed every thing. People who feel a sense of entitlement. The example of Nixon is valid. Once the cameras were off, he had the kind of foul mouth that would make George Carlin blush and the sort of viceral hatred and ugly disrespect for anyone who didn't agree with him that would make old Joe Stalin swell with pride.

I mean really, if we're going to come on here and call him a motherfucker, do you really think that he's any different? We all know his religious tone is little more than backdrop and marketting. That he's a spoiled little frat boy at heart.

Personally, I'm damn glad that he's angry. I hope he stays angry. I hope he has ulcers. Really bad ones. Like the kind that make him shit blood and wake up in the middle of the night.

[Marymarg]

70. I believe it

At least, some of it, the gist of it.

I always thought he had such a short fuse that that is the reason his handlers carry him around on a velvet pillow. No protesters allowed, free speech zones, etc.

In August of 2001, I thought he was thinking about resigning because things were not going his way. Jeffords had just turned independent and Bush was not being treated like the King he thought he was. Thinking about that now leads me to believe that then, like now , he could not handle this kind of stress and he had the get the heck out of Washington and work his anger off with physical activity and do whatever else it took (medication)to regain something like normalcy. His new tic (grinding his lower jaw), I believe, is a manifestation of some of this.

[Zuni]

72. His presidency is beginning to mirror Nixons

[tuvor]

74. I'd say consider the source. Literally.

These guys posted an article a year ago about bush being on some mood-controlling drugs that was allegedly causing erratic behaviour.

I don't recall that they named any sources, and for all the heat it generated here, it never really went anywhere that mattered.

As it stands, this story is mere rumour. That's what the other guys deal in.

[Maru Kitteh]

75. Those VFW assholes, ah yes, the VFW...known for it's acts of subversion

treason and terror. :crazy: Who do they think they are? Speaking their mind! What do they think this is? America? What gives them a right to question the president? Sure, he did DUCK OUT of service but it's really HARD being prezdint.

76. Just one or two more incidents

and the shrub is going to explode....

a straight jacket on the president.

86. Every week or so it seems we get a 'capitolhillblue' story just like this.

The subject is always the same, how he's losing it, tirades, on meds, off meds, whatever. I've never seen anything about it aside from this source.

Compassionate my ass.

94. WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!!!

to hell with 'harbors', karl rove & this wannabe cowpoke's handlers have known ALL ALONG that bush flat-out personifies, and as such enshrines a vile, peculiar, low grade & mean spirited ignorance like no other g.o.p. candidate since nixon.

clearly among thee very first orders of business was to shut down the press & press conferences & only push him out in front military audiences for much of the same reason.

george w. bush's goat can be got at the drop of a hat and for 1/2 the price of a free ticket for adoring, handpicked, pre-screened groupies. bush...has...frittered away whatever advantage america may have had to affect the ME by even military means imo which is to suggest that he has lost both 'the republican war on terror' and his already limited mind...the down side is that he has 'the football'

The Republican War On Terror ~

[progressivebydesign]

135. Right on! Why are some people so shocked by this???

For god's sake, Bush has lost it too many times to count. He's been shown over and over flipping people off. He's been reported to go into rages at the White house.

[bridgit]

206. progressivebydesign, i can only suggest...

america's landscape, in spite of her purple mountains majesty, is strewn with vast ignorance & mental illness this admin can imho only be seen as the proof of that :hi:

[Poiuyt]

113. Hasn't Capitolhillblue.com been shown to be an unreliable source?

I seem to recall them doing a similar article a year or two ago about other tirades in the Oval Office. I'm not saying the tirades never happened, but it would be nice to have a second source.

[Lilith Velkor]

147. Yes, it's a scuttlebutt site

It's quite entertaining though :popcorn:

And you know damn well even if it's true, legit journos wouldn't touch stuff like that. Some people don't seem to know that, but whatcanyado?

[SammyWinstonJack]

120. I have no trouble believing it.

None whatsoever at all. "Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out." And bush** pumping his fist in the air just before he went on TV to announced his plans to shock and awe the crap out of Baghdad. This guy is an egotist, he disrespect journalists by giving them nicknames. His public staged events show a fragile low esteem persona. No one is allowed to question his actions, he only speaks before choreographed audiences. No, I have no problem believing he launches into profanity laced tirades behind the scenes. I only wish he'd have a "Lonesome Rhodes'" moment so the whole of the American public could see what he really thinks of them.

[bridgit]

124. bwahaha...

:rofl: bush has been flipping people off & calling them "assholes" in front of cameras & open mics for years where have you been? he ain't gonna get no better he's only going to feel more at home & that's when the world will have hell to pay

[SammyWinstonJack]

142. He's emboldened by his "mandate" !

We call the Christian walk of Faith our "countenance", for all to see and judge. That's why * hides NCL behaviour from the public, rather than accept humility and accept the spirit and really change. Preachers who are in it for the glory or money suffer the same schizophrenia. In our system & culture, in the short term at least, all you need to be to win is the biggest ego maniac, not the most competent. Survival of the brutal, the greedy.

[progressivebydesign]

131. I totall believe this. It has been reported before many times..

Bush has a vile temper and filthy mouth (worse than mine!). We have been treated to bits of this from other sources. His obscenity laced tirades are infamous around the White House.

Can anyone recall, as I do, the stories from Babs Bush about george being tossed of the country club golf courses because of his temper and foul language????

There is a reason he is NEVER left unattended around common folk. He appears to have a sociopathic temper that he cannot control. He's a godly man, alright.

[Judi Lynn]

138. You may remember we heard, probably before the election

that he ran across Judy Woodruff and her husband at dinner in a restaurant in Washington D.C.

Here's the story from the Washington Post:

In early April 1986, Bush ran into Al Hunt, then the Wall Street Journal's Washington bureau chief, at a Mexican restaurant in Dallas, where Hunt was dining with his wife, Judy Woodruff, and their 4-year-old son. The April edition of Washingtonian magazine had come out featuring 16 pundits predicting who would lead the 1988 GOP ticket. Hunt had predicted Jack Kemp over Vice President Bush. (Only half the group said Bush would be the nominee.)

Hunt said Bush approached the table and began cursing at him in front of his child. Hunt said there was no doubt that Bush had been drinking heavily.

"You son of a bitch," Hunt quotes Bush as saying. "I saw what you wrote. We're not going to forget this."
(snip/...)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/bush072599.htm

On edit: Adding photo of Al Hunt, with Judy standing in the red suit:



He's very familiar, visually, as he's on tv news shows from time to time.

[demgrrrll]

144. I remember reading about that too. He launched into an obscenity laced

tirade in front of Judy Woodruff's kid for crying out loud. Never a peep about it from Judy before or during his so called election.
I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility that he still engages in the same behaviour that he has engaged in all of his live.
To the best of my knowledge he has never had treatment, other than possibly prescription meds so why on earth would anyone think that he has gained enough insight to change long term ingrained behaviors.
This article may be a load of crap but there is a certainly a grain of truth there.

[oxbow]

140. Wow. Do you think MSM would report this?

we should try sending it to the braver of the bunch. The press has become bolder in the last few months.

on edit: It's the capitol hilllb blues though, which doesn't have the best record for truthfulness. It's a great story, but I do have to be a bit suspicious of the messenger

[Catherine Vincent]

141. We all know that's the real Bush!

Only his gullible fans out there think otherwise. Bush is the ultimate asshole.

[sinkingfeeling]

150. I have no problem believing this is the way Bush acts in 'private', even

if the source is capitolhillblue. It is standard among arrogant, spoiled brats. I have never seen Bush look or act like what his written script words are saying. It's his eyes that cannot convey human emotion and that stupid smirk that give it away. He does not have any compassion for anyone. He is so conceited any truly believes that he is the only important person in the world. I hate him.

156. The photo in the article is an OLD one

Someone I know sent this article to me in email today. Although, I don't doubt that the Idiot Boy cusses up a storm as he has been caught on audio spewing his BS in the past. I also don't doubt that Cindy is a thorn in his side. What I do doubt is that this Capitol Hill Blue article lacks veracity: Using an old video still to make the case for the story ruins the reporter's credibility.

I did see that photo on DU when Sabra first posted it. Am glad to see that there are even more people who have had are assumed to support the Idiot Boy actually do not.

Thanks for replying to my post, but am at a loss as to what that photo has to do with the fact that CHB used an old video still to add credibility to the part of the story that Georgie flipped the bird at the VFW convention. Using that pic destroyed the entire story.

Totally full of bullshit.

I'll stay in the Reality Based Community...

[pointblank]

160. Not sure what to make of that article..

I don't, however, doubt for one second that Bush is a whiny spoiled rich kid who does act deranged behind the scenes.

Two MAJOR things lead me to this conclusion on his behavior:

The middle finger fetish. That to me is so COMPLETELY juvenile that I almost cannot believe my eyes when I see the pictures of him doing it...I mean really, what mature adult would FLIP OFF the camera...even if it is off?

Also, the fact that he has not met with Cindy Sheehan for a mere half hour in private in order to virtually KILL this entire protest is beyond me. Any SANE person would do it. It wouldn't hurt him one bit, in fact it would HELP his ratings!!!

He is just such a stubborn, bullheaded rich brat that he isn't going to meet with her no matter what good it will do. It has become a matter of principle to him.

161. Several years from now in a small classroom...

in an out of the way highschool, in a tiny midwestern town. Several people sit in a circle in those uncomfortable school room chair that have those pseudo desks attached to them.

A man sits, eyes darting from side to side, grinding his teeth, shifts uncomforably in his chair. The man stands...

Man: Hi, I'm GWB...you can call me W, heh heh heh, ah hem...(cough)...

Group: Hi, GWB...

Man: And I am...I am...

Group: Yes, W?

Man: I am, here to night to tell you...

Group: Yes?

Man: You see, I have this issue with...

The group grows impatient...

Man: The issue is that, people are disconnected with reality

Group Leader: W? Please we are all here to help you, you don't need to be afraid...

Man: You calling me chicken???

Group Leader: No, that's not what I'm saying, please just calm down...

Man: are you saying I'm high strung????? Well, take that!!!

The man flips off the Group Leader with the finger.

The Group Leader shakes his head in discust.

Group Leader: Look, george...

Man: W!!

Group Leader: right, whatever. That kind of behavior may work with congress, the press, world leaders, republicans, your family, friends, college buddies, cronnies, drinking pals, drug suppliers, doctors, lawyers, check out clerks, cleaning people, CEO's, vice presidents, cabinet members, members of the senate, the supreme court and Cindy Sheehan, but we won't put up with it here. You're a little boy george* and you have to start acting like a man. Now fess up.

george* sits dejected and pouty.

george*: mama always told me I was special, that I was the one with the brains.

Group Leader: do you have something to say to us, george*?

george* stands up.

george*: Hi, I'm george*...

Group: Hi, george*...

george*: and I'm a moron.

The group claps.

[Nothing Without Hope]

162. Capitol Hill Blue is not a reputable source. They have been putting out

reports of Bush being "unbalanced" for some time, but these have not been corroborated. They are generally based on unnamed "concerned aides." Maybe they're factual and maybe they aren't. We should not make any claims based on reports from this source alone, though they do make interesting reading.

Here's more convincing evidence of Bush's mental deterioration: a video presentation comparing his speechmaking ability 10 years ago with now. Believe it or not, he was a good, fluent speaker then, even without notes. The difference from now indicates that his "problem" is not due to a lifelong issue like congenital aphasia. It's deterioration - most likely presenile dementia, which is progressive. Watch this video:

http://www.adbuzz.com/bushbuzz.htm

[hippiegranny]

166. I believe this story in theory

because it is what we all know deep down that the little pissant sociopath is all about. But we will never convince the general population of this as long as CHB is the only source, because it probably IS embellished, which discredits even the true stuff.

167. It got out months back Bush calling aid mother fucker! ->

When reporters asked Bush about ties to ken Lay after he was arrested Bush stormed off stage yelling at Scott McCllelan to; - "get those mother-fuckers off my back or I'll find someone who can!

169. ***** Think twice before posting this on the front page

No offense to blogslut, but I have read far too many sensational and uncorroborated reports from Capitol Hill Blue to trust it.

These include two off the top of my head being Bush taking strong drugs to control violent mood swings (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=33&num=5141) and Nancy Reagan telling off the Republican Party (article removed?).

For me, CHB does not pass the smell test.

170. Holy cow poop!

I'd really like to know who the insider is that is leaking this.

Wouldn't you like to have a video of him blowing his top?

[EnfantTerrible]

175. I believe he's capable of this...

But this story strains credibility. There may be some truth to it, but it seems a little extreme.

I do, however, recall a story that he went off on his aides after one of the debates (the first one, I think... when Kerry made him look particularly chimpy) in a room backstage and was using particularly unChristian language.

[wtmusic]

176. This is nonsense

Pls do not post anything from CHB. :eyes:

[Mr_Spock]

213. It is BULLSHIT! This is the third article from this source saying same

This is a set-up - we should NOT be trusting this source. This is the THIRD article from this same source saying the SAME thing - that Bush is unstable and is throwing fits. Please do not believe this unsubstantiated source - they are setting us up!

180. spoiled little boy

what a pathetic excuse for a man

[Kurovski]

182. Self-delete.

I don't see the source as being reliable.

[Larkspur]

187. Shades of Nixon!! And the Freptards criticize Cindy's language about Bush

as uncouth. What a bunch of hyprocritest they are!

[brettdale]

188. sorry to sound like a parrot and i know i always say this but

But I really think, the folloqwing quote by Bushy "I’m not meeting with that goddamned bitch,” should not only be sent to all in the MSM, but someone should alert people like John Stewart, Michael Moore all those in the independent media, the good folks at camp casey, your local media, and every message baord thier is.

Because if we can get proof that he said this, this will do damage to Bushy like nothing has done damage to him before.

[brettdale]

189. If clinton had of said

“I’m not meeting again with that goddamned bitch,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”

What would the msm be saying?

[pinto]

193. It's been mentioned above - capitalhillblue runs lots of no source leads

over the top stories. It's one of their mainstays.

Just an FYI - you all probably knew that - but thought I'd throw that into this discussion, again.

While the gist of the piece - Busboy has a temper and swears in private - seems likely, the uncited fleshing out of the story, and it's specific quotes, are up for grabs.

Good gossip piece, though, for what that's worth.

[Joanne98]

196. It's called a TEMPER TANTRUM! Spoiled brats have them.

[WI_DEM]

198. The Crawford Coward has gone off the deep end

[Q]

201. Don't expect the 'mainstream' media to report the truth...

...about George 'Caligula' Bush. And they certainly won't report about his 'bad' side when he kicks his staff around like dogs.

Stop waiting for 'another more reliable source'. There won't be one. The RWing didn't spend several decades buying up the media for nothing.

[bribri16]

204. How do you spell Coligula? n/t

[rrrevolution]

209. Wasn't there a recent clip of Bush giving the finger from behind

that either Jimmy Kimmel or Jon Stewart played over and over? I recall he walked by, held up his hand, and it looked like he was flipping the bird.

The next day a Bush aid said he was waving at someone. right LOL

[Beaverhausen]

210. The source, Capitol Hill Blue, is bogus

[CelticWinter]

211. georgie really needs some anger management classes

and momma needs to wash his mouth out with soap. he's such a dumbass he will probably hit the red button during one of his temper tantrums.

[Postman]

212. Sing along with me, George....."I feel pretty, I feel pretty"....

"F" You, Jackhole.

[Rex]

214. Motherfucking traitors

Motherfucking projection! I guess betraying Plame has pushed him over the edge. Of course he believes he is a military dictator. Make no mistake.

[Renew Deal]

216. Capitol Hill Blue keeps putting out stories like this.

And they are the only ones that have them repeatedly. They sound like bullshit to me.

[allalone]

218. RE: source of this story

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

[Old and In the Way]

220. Creative news

Take some historical facts, blend in some believable content, and you have a plausible storyline. The quotes seem over the top...for one thing, they pretty much make gramatical sense. Not enough mangling of the language.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

222. They quote the author of an EXCELLENT book, "Bush On The Couch"...

Bush’s behavior, according to prominent Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, author of “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is all too typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is ruled by fear.

To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is confront the President. “To actually directly confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you would really see the bully, and you would also see the fear,” he says.

Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an alcoholic who brags that he gave up booze without help from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, may be drinking again.

“Two questions that the press seems particularly determined to ignore have hung silently in the air since before Bush took office,” Dr. Frank says. “Is he still drinking? And if not, is he impaired by all the years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be addressed in any serious assessment of his psychological state.”

223. awaken in the dream ~ the madness of...

http://www.awakeninthedream.com/indexx.html

[NYCGirl]

230. Yes, but the author of that book never met Bush personally...so he's doing

a sort of "Frist" diagnosis.

Combined with CHB's penchant for printing disinformation, this makes for entertaining speculation, but that's all.

[LeahD]

224. I'm waiting for his brain to explode,

he speaks nothing but gibberish, and sparks fly from his ears.

It can't be that much longer until meltdown can it?

Sirens, horns, sirens, horns, meltdown, meltdown!!
