1. That isn't even funny

That is damn scary. After eight years, I'm still appalled that man is in the White House. I feel like I'm living in a SNL skit.

2. It is scary and sad.

When I was living in Germany, many of my friends didn't understand that I would call him stupid (as in dim-witted and not as an ad hominem attack because I loathe him). They'd say, surely he must somehow be intelligent, otherwise how could he get elected? So much of what he says makes no sense and I am sure that when he goes off script, his speech writers cringe. When Bush is shown on German t.v. giving a speech his words are dubbed over by a German translator, who edits out the mistakes. For them it is standard political bloviating but not the utterly dismal ramblings of a hebephrenic psychopath.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

- H.L. Mencken

We are there.

4. Hebephrenic psychopath...

Hits the nail on the head, doesn't it? Now, how to we get this into the mainstream? Anyone know any "Simpsons" writers?

3. Dear God, what an idiot.

"A sovereign nation is...is...is a nation that is sovereign." Brilliant, Chimpy.

5. Perhaps it's mere coincidence

but I find interesting the additional "related" videos that show up in the player after having watched this sad performance. Yo-yo tricks...need anyone say more?

6. You know that's stuff is really funny, then you realize he actually makes decisions

that affect our lives. Then that's so effed up, that you eventually just have to laugh at it anyway.

7. I love Dave's funnin' with Dub

I'm gonna miss those segments when Dub's gone.
