Bush's demeanor today is =frightening=

[newsguyatl]

I haven't seen him this hyper and happy in more than a year.

What's up?

Something is.

[West Coast Democrat]

1. he's on drugs

we all know that

[serryjw]

100. I said the SAME thing before I saw your post!

Have you read

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0604-13.htm

Bushit is being sedated...he's losing it!

[Eurobabe]

2. He's as cocky as he has ever been, meds too high?

What an asshole.

On edit, he can't even string a sentence together, he stops mid-sentence, jumps to new line of thought.

[eleny]

3. He's upbeat about his coronation tomorrow

[Nimble_Idea]

4. yeah, he is really acting it out today

Anyone else seeing him Karate Chop!?!?!

[redqueen]

9. Oh please say you're joking n/t

[eleny]

10. Nope - he's manic

[nostamj]

13. "manic" yes...

it's utterly creepy.

post-expresso enema with a Jolt! Cola intravenous drip MANIC

[eleny]

15. You've nailed it!

[newsguyatl]

21. you're absolutely right he's manic

and his behavior today backs up a lot of what we've been hearing about him coming undone in the last several months.


with that said, though, what sent him into this manic phase... there's usually a trigger.

[Eurobabe]

38. could be off *his schedule*

all the traveling?

[MisterP]

78. where'd you see THAT?!

[Kurt Remarque]

5. he sounds hopped up on something

[Jose Diablo]

6. The G-8 gave him a "Get out of Jail Free Card" n/t

[Tellurian]

83. Yep, he's been under fire for a month now.. the G-8 was a vacay for him.

He looked liked he tossed back a few too!

[salin]

88. but then he was smacked down and had to do a public "flip flop"

press conference (may?) - he goes on and on that a "Polish led international NATO force" would provide security in Iraq (trying to tell the public that our service folks wouldn't be there indefinitely). He was turned down - no NATO help... and in a press conference (?) makes it sound as if it isn't a turn down... says something to the effect of: We never expected that NATO would send troops, but we hope that they will help provide training to Iraqis.

[Eurobabe]

7. babbling incessantly about SADDAM

[Cleita]

8. I think he's sober.

Maybe he's taken a few uppers as well.

[newsguyatl]

he knows something we don't know

he's extremely HIGH for some reason -- i'm worried as shit after seeing him today.

[West Coast Democrat]

12. What do you think he knows?

[colonel odis]

24. very good question

remember how he was on election night when they called florida for gore? he sort of sat back and acted like he knew something the rest of us didn't.

if he's doing that again today, look for something to blow sky high tomorrow.

[leesa]

37. Same thing he did at the school on 9-11.

[Unperson 309]

90. Remember My Prediction

June the Eleventh, either 9:00 AM or 11:00 AM Eastern daylight Time

If not 6/11, then 9/11 something will happen. If it's in this administration's control it'll be stopped so we can all ooooh and aaaah at how they saved us... if it's under terrorist control it may succeed. And it'll be *nasty*!

It'll hit either Washington DC or San Francisco.

Mark my words.

And I SO hope I'm dead wrong about it!! I'll be delighted if I am.

309

[dflprincess]

96. Won't be Washington

Bush will be in town tomorrow. He's probably just plotting how his eulogy will take the spot light off Ronnie and put it back on him where it belongs.

Not to mention, how Reagan's death really pulled attention away from the G8 summit so he can think he got away with something there, too.

[rumguy]

28. Bin Laden?

Or some skeleton in Kerry's closet?

[Zero Gravitas]

33. he is turned on by death

And tomorrow he gets to play with a dead body.

[mzmolly]

52. EEK, NO!!! Don't say it!!!!

:spank:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

58. The OSP just tipped him off on the date of the next 911....

...they should know since they're the ones that're planning it.

[Selwynn]

101. Yep. He knows the "election" is already over - and he "wins."

[newsguyatl]

duplicate

[buff2]

11. The stupid bastard thinks he's a comedian

He's not Presidential at all. What a huge embarrassment for our country. :puke:

[tom_paine]

14. Either that or they told him about Bin Laden in August

and LIHOP #2: San Franscisco takes a hit in October.

[ChompySnack]

16. Tomorrow is 6/11

What do they have planned?

[West Coast Democrat]

19. a state funeral?

[spinbaby]

27. Have you heard the rumor?

There's an Internet rumor going around that the government delayed the Reagan funeral until Friday and gave all the federal employees the day off because a terror attack is planned and they want as many people off the street as possible.

[West Coast Democrat]

35. But wouldn't a state funeral cause a lot of crowds & traffic?

[Warpy]

62. Don't you mean ON the street?

All the party failthful will be out in force, all having the Reagasm along with the hacks yapping over the body.

[Catshrink]

63. Got my hat out....

:tinfoilhat:

[DeepModem Mom]

17. Do you think praise for Reagan's humor has W doing a comedy act???

I noticed a lot of plain-spoken, sticking to principles, etc., too -- maybe another effort to align himself with RR. (Hope Nancy isn't watching the yuk-fest.)

[Iris]

61. I wouldn't be surprised!

[mzmolly]

18. I think it's the false bravado. It comes on in spades when he's freaking

out? :crazy:

Sheesh, and they said Dean was crazy for speaking over a loud crowd?!

[Eurobabe]

39. basically what Richard Holbrooke just said

this G-8 summit was a failure, and Bu$h is ratcheting down expectations.

[mzmolly]

51. Ahhh, interesting.

I guess I missed my calling? ;) :hi:

[newsguyatl]

54. mzmolly, i LOVE your "bumpersticker"

i wish i had one of those. ;-)

[mzmolly]

81. Hey, feel free to copy it into your sig!

:hi: HEY IT'S GONE ?? *scratches head* :freak:

[Selwynn]

102. .

.

[DeepModem Mom]

20. Judy Woodruff: "particularly jovial mood" nt

[KittyWampus]

29. You're Kidding Right?

Right????????????????????

[DeepModem Mom]

34. Not kidding -- I'm wondering if some of the mixed-up-meds guessing...

may have merit.

[digno dave]

30. it'sd sickening that this bahavior has been accepted as standard fair

No special attention paid to the absurd tone of his behavior.

[camero]

22. Somebody's dead

He's not happy unless someone's dead. Remember the one he sent to death while Governer of Texas.

[newsguyatl]

26. lol

that shouldn't be funny, but is.

[Zero Gravitas]

36. Sad thing is that it is true

The only time he was truly animated during the "debates" in 2000 was when he talked about how the murderers of James Byrd were going to get the death penalty... it was very very creepy.

[The empressof all]

23. Funny Disconnect

As he was whooping it up with the reporters the MSNBC reader board was scrolling that he would be giving Reagan's eulogy.....something about solemn occasion.

I hope his fellow repugs will find his performance as distasteful and obscene as I did and I sure as hell did not even like Reagan

[West Coast Democrat]

25. He's just realized he gets to go back to the ranch soon....

and for good.

[Ilsa]

31. He's got that Beavis and Butthead laugh.

It's almost a giggle. Huh huh. Huh huh huh.

He is one strange mo-fo.

He also said Saddam had WMD manufacturing capabilities. Another lie. David Kay said there was no way SH could manufacture chem or bio WMD, IIRC.

[kentuck]

32. His aides told him that his G-8 summit was a success....

He got the UN approval to bail him out of the deep shit.

[AndyTiedye]

53. Maybe Diebold Just Gave Him a Demo of their Next Generation of Machinez

the ones with 10,000 volts hooked up to the "Democrat" button.

[dxbiker]

40. this was some week for him

He did well at the G8 mending fences and attempting to bring in a real coalition into Iraq. Yes, Bush and Chirac are oil and vinegar, but they seem to be trying to work together and we do need everyones support, just like Kerry has been saying

Plus, and this is just one mans opinion, tomorrow is do or die for him. How he handles the reagan thing will either give him momentum into the summer and fall or it will backlash and Kerry will win by a landslide.

[sangh0]

41. Thanks for the laugh

And welcome to DU. Enjoy it while you can

[West Coast Democrat]

42. So the drugs are to help him do a better job tomorrow?

[newsguyatl]

43. umm, welcome to du.

[rumguy]

44. I think you're putting WAY to much on his Reagan speech

Iraq will determine this election...

[Bridget Burke]

47. Yes, he's such a success.

How proud you are of your little president.

Or maybe you've got some of what he's been smoking.

[cmayer]

64. It's fun to bash Bushler.

But your post seems the most likely to me. I think he thinks there will be a big RR bounce. So far, the polls haven't said so, but the R's have access to up to the minute and accurate polls.

How about good private poll numbers, with a shining hour planned for tomorrow?

[DeepModem Mom]

67. You could be right, cmayer -- private polls showing a Reagan bounce....

I hope that's not the case.

[Miss Authoritiva]

75. How bad off do you have to be to need a bounce from a dead man?

n/t

[cmayer]

82. I suspect the Reagan bounce (if real) will be temporary.

I also suspect the name "Torturer-in-Chief" may stick.

[lancdem]

70. If there's any bounce

it won't come until after tomorrow, I suspect. BTW, even if Bush does well, there are a ton of bad things looming for him once the Reagan extravaganza is over.

[lanparty]

69. I doubt it ...

Unlike Bush, Chirac knows how to be congenial and polite. This is ALL you saw.

The bottom line is that the Euros won't help Bush with SHIT until he lets go of Iraqi oil.

[shanti]

84. "one man's opinion"

but your profile says you're a woman. Hmmmmm......

[TruthIsAll]

93. Four! And I don't golf.

TIA

[Lex]

104. Or he goes to jail over the Plame outing

or lying about the torture memo.

[The Blue Flower]

45. CNN says...

He's supposed to view Reagan's casket today, if he hasn't already. Considering his affection and affinity for death itself, I wouldn't doubt that being near a corpse has sparked his flame.

[July]

94. Yeah, he gave it a whole ten seconds

of his valuable time. POS.

[DeepModem Mom]

46. Adult follows Bush frat-party on CNN: Richard Holbrooke...

interviewed by Judy Woodruff. Holbrooke's demeanor totally statesmanlike --

[mzmolly]

55. Perhaps , but 'Methinks He Doth Protest Too Much?'

??? That's what I'm hoping anyhoo. :shrug:

I must admit, I couldn't bare to watch the entire charade though ...

[rumguy]

48. the freeptards are saying that * smacked down David Gregory

is this true?

[newsguyatl]

49. i'm just getting worried now b/c

i'm thinking back to a few weeks ago when we got that "terror alert" from ashcroft, but there was a disconnect in the gov't, with cia and homeland dept. it was a HUGE deal, then NOTHING. then a week later, tenet quits the cia. a week after that, reagan dies, and 6/11 is tomorrow. now bush is acting like he's on top of the world, believing that he is KING of the world...

i'm not usually a tinfoiler at all, but something is definitely up... even if we don't find out soon what brought his glee today, rest assured, something did.

[leftynyc]

50. Probably thinking he can ride Reagans corpse to victory.

n/t

[nostamj]

56. "ride Reagans corpse" - WHO would think such a thing???

[indigobusiness]

57. manic/depressive

in his manic phase.

[Catherine Vincent]

59. Maybe Laura gave him some last night.

tee hee....:-)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

60. Or...

...Lyin' Leeeesa. :spank:

[DieboldMustDie]

66. Or maybe Condi did!

:evilgrin:

[DeepModem Mom]

65. CNN's Dana Bash: W "upbeat, downright playful" at press conf. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

72. And it something did happen tomorrow, the video and that

report on CNN about his upbeatness may be evidence at his trial.

[progressivebydesign]

73. Umm far be it from me to suggest a protocol for Bush.

But.. don't you think he might tone it down a bit? The country is still supposedly mourning Regan's death. Think the hard core GOP are happy that Bush is acting like PeeWee Herman (on t.v., not in the move theatre) at G8 while they're trying to whip up maudlin mania over Reagan's death?

[maveric]

68. An upcoming terror attack, martial law and the suspension of the election.

Now he will remain on the throne forever.

[T Town Jake]

71. Yep...

I noticed that too, for the thirty seconds I could watch it.

[vetwife]

74. You are right and its big !

I noticed his manner today. He also talked as Reagan was in the present tense. He seems self assured. Happy. This may sound strange and I am definately a realist not a tin foiler but.......
I can't bring myself to turn loose of some of my bill paying money till after the 11th or 15th. I can't explain it. I always pay my bills on the first and rarely ever pass the 10th. Sure its tight this month but it is like deep inside I know I am goin to need every single penny. I am not a psychic or crazy but time and time again just before something happens, even in my family, well especially in my family I get a feeling something is about to happen or not right. Today I got that 10 times over. Maybe I am nuts..Don't think so. I am like the starter of the thread. Very very nervous about somethin and he is at the bottom of it !

[The empressof all]

76. I didn't notice

I did not notice he referred to Reagan in the present tense. Do you think he thinks he is coming back

[vetwife]

77. I don't think he thinks but something is surely up !

I can't stop this gut feeling that we are on the eve of destruction and he knows. I feel he is part of it if not all of it.

[The empressof all]

79. I certainly hope you are wrong

I am never sure now a days on what tomorrow may bring. I tend to think however that todays performance was a reflection of his being totally out of touch with reality and not a harbinger of things to come.

[vetwife]

80. I hope so too...I am looking for that transcipt of today..anyone got it !

Hope I did not misunderstand the MOnkey when speaking of Reagan

[Qutzupalotl]

92. Transcript link

http://www.newsday.com/news/politics/wire/sns-ap-bush-text,0,2014708.story?coll=sns-ap-politics-headlines

[vetwife]

95. He said was and I though he said is//but he never said The Late

The second line was We will be paying respects to President Reagan tonight like the guy was still president and was gonna have a tea party or something with them. Still came off to me in the present tense. I could have sworn I heard is instead of was. But The Monkey screws up so much ..and I trust they would polish more of his misspeaks..who knows? Thanks for the transcript ! Me not knowing for sure bugged me. LOl We got the transcript but we still don't know for sure huh? All those media whores ! Thanks for link anyway.

[JohnyCanuck]

87. Maybe Dubya has plans to raise Ronnie from the dead

like Jesus did with Lazarus.

[bklyncowgirl]

97. Did you catch that wierd gesture Bush made over Reagan's Coffin

Sort of like a magician.

Methinks the "Leader of the Free World" has seen one too many Harry Potter movies.

Either that or he's totally gone around the bend. I hope the Secret Service has orders to shoot him if he ever goes near the "Football".

[shanti]

85. geez, i thought i was the only one!

i'm just getting ready to remodel my house, but something has been holding me back from parting with the cash to get it started...i just feel an uneasiness...

[demgrrrll]

86. Damn. Me too. I have been thinking of every way I possibly can to

hustle up some extra money. Hell I took a full time job too after working part time and running my business the rest of the time.
Not gonna watch em knock down the old Endicott building anymore, Dobe.
I am obsessed with paying off every bill and battening down the hatches.

[vetwife]

89. Now that is strange...We are remodeling to take my Dad in

But I think he has to move in as is. the basement is unfinished and I can't turn lose of the money right this second. Can't explain.
I don't care about money, I just feel I got to hang onto it for a few weeks. We are on a fixed income too. Not the kinda wise thing to do. Bills pile up and there is no more coming in till the 1st.

[DoBotherMe]

103. Save your cash

I've been sitting on my cash for two years. I have remodeling to do also (had to reshingle the roof though)and am waiting until after the election. Our government is being run by fools. Dana ; )

[seabeyond]

91. shoot wish i had read this before i paid credit card bill

today, wink..........could have waited til saturday, lol. i hear ya

[madfloridian]

98. He is looking messianic.

There is a glow in his eyes. It is scary to see it. He looks like a preacher who knows he has the audience under his control..

[MidwestMomma]

99. It's all about the power and glory

Tomorrow he gets to lead the WORLD in prayer for the late great Ronald Raygun. (At least in his skewed world view.)

He just knows some of that 'shine' is going to rub off on him.

Plus, he got to drive that cool little presidential golf cart around the G8. (I'm sure that's on it's way to Crawford!)

I just heard a bit of audio from the press conference today and it just confirmed for me that he is one crazy little shit...

Lord help us!
