There's a monkey on my teevee talking about how young people are driving up unemployment

[Stinky The Clown]

This monkey is announcing his new HUD secretary, Steve Preston. Says that kids on summer break caused the rise in unemployment.

He's slurring his esses more than normal.

I HATE this motherfucker.

I HATE him HATE him HATE him.

[AlCzervik]

1. then shut off the tv?

[Richardo]

3. Quiet you!

You and your sensical ways... :grr:

[AlCzervik]

6. sorry. "OMG i HATE TWEETY BUT I STILL WATCH!!!!!"

:D

[gateley]

2. Young people are driving up unemployment?

How does he explain that statement?

[bdamomma]

11. i just heard on the news he is still pushing for permanent

tax cuts, never forgets his cronies huh, forgets about us but doesn't forget about his corrupt crony friends. POS that is all he is.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. That makes no sense to me - I heard the same talking points brayed on CNN this morning

by the Chimp Fluffing talking heads, apparently anticipating the official White House propaganda. They were saying that new job seekers were driving up the unemployment figures. Do people merely seeking jobs but who have had no jobs yet get counted in the unemployment figures? That's what they were saying on CNN.

[Systematic Chaos]

25. Street! Unemployment is the name of a street!

And there has been great chatter over the inter-tubes about some very threatening young people driving up Unemployment Street!

:freak:

[PVnRT]

35. They won't get off his lawn

[orleans]

46. maybe he's hinting that he wants a draft? n/t

[Hydra]

4. That's pretty funny

Did he run out of other scapegoats for why the economy is in ruins?

Hint- sending jobs away was a BAD IDEA.

[billybob537]

5. I usually MUTE him

then just watch the funny monkey gestures!

[Atman]

7. How can that be? It's only the beginning of June.

"Kids" aren't even out of school yet in most parts of the country, and even if they were, they wouldn't be showing up in the employment reports until NEXT month. Methinks someone (Bush) is LYING again. Surprise, surprise.

.

[bdamomma]

17. the guy is detached from reality.

and he is not oriented to time, place or year, just hears and sees what he wants to hear.

[blondeatlast]

40. Very good point! Not to mention, do part-time and/or temps even count in the figures? nt

[LSK]

48. do college kids qualify for unemployment benefits???

[Generic Other]

53. Hold Up!!!

If you are in school you probably didn't work full time as well, so you are not newly unemployed. In fact it's summer when you look for a job to earn money for school! where do they get these dumb ideas?

[MountainLaurel]

63. Exactly -- dumbass doesn't know what unemployment is

You have to be employed full time before you can receive unemployment benefits and thus be counted in the statistics, and I doubt a lot of high school students work full time while going to school. (Although some do -- a friend of did (probably in violation of labor laws), to save money for college because that was the only way he'd be able to pay.)

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I haven't watched him speak in years. He makes me sick.

:puke:

[zanne]

9. Reagan once blamed women for flooding the job market...

Where the Bush people be without Nixon and Reagan tactics?

[wryter2000]

18. Reagan blamed trees for pollution

It seems this idiot has learned well from the old geezer.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. St Ronnie's best was cow flatuence as a cause of air polution

[wryter2000]

42. They're still using that one, I believe n/t

n/t

[zanne]

49. Isn't he the one who said that ketchup was a vegetable? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

64. Yes

They were pushing it as a way to screw kids out of healthy school lunches.

[Indenturedebtor]

54. Actually cow farts do cause a lot of pollution...

Lots of cows heh. They contribute a lot of CO2 believe it or not.

[mrfrapp]

65. Misleading

Cows are part of the natural carbon cycle so it doesn't really matter if they fart or not.

Admittedly, if we fed cows fossilised carbon in the form of coal, oil or derivative products such as petrol then we'd have a problem but then again cows are a terrible form of transport...

[Wizard777]

61. No, cow farts were causing the holes in our Ozone layer.

That can be true. Cow farts have a high methane content. In fact I'm surprized that lighting cow farts hasn't replaced cow tipping. It has everything young males love. Satisfying curiosity and fire. If the cow actually exploded when you lit it's fart. Bovine fire farting would be a new extreme sport sponsored by Howard Stern.

[Ian David]

10. What teens need to do, see... is join the army, Heh heh. Bring 'em on. Heh. n/t

[wryter2000]

19. You do that too well

:scared:

[conspirator]

50. Yep. Only 2 choices: slave for walmart, or go to the front line imperial war n/t

[krispos42]

12. Gee, then I guess he's stopped being pro-forced-childbirth, then?

:sarcasm:




Yeah, right.

[AndyA]

13. President Irrelevant on TV speaking more lies that no one believes.

Only the few who are such addicts they would believe the world is flat if that's what they were told.

Go back to your cocaine and your bottle, George. Just shut the fuck up because no one cares what you have to say anymore, you lying criminal.

[wryter2000]

14. Turn. Him. Off.

Seriously. The corporate media will tell you what he said. Save your sanity.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

15. Obviously, the little fuckers need to be drafted!

:sarcasm:

Seriously, though, that makes no sense. Summer is when students on break GET jobs. Employment should have gone up, not down. Not surprising that it didn't considering that gas prices and inflation are causing Americans to curtail vacations and discretionary spending.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

16. market down 301.99 at this second

[HowHasItComeToThis]

21. REPUBS SCREAMING GET HIM OFF TV

NOW DOWN 321 THEN 311

[bdamomma]

20. did he mention Iran yet? stupid a$$ man.

[flakey_foont]

23. oh,,,that explains it!

I knew there had to be a perfectly good explanation for the lousy economy....(but this ain't it)

[YOY]

24. Imbecile economics.

Yeah the kids do that but it's not that kind of unemployment. They don't work big jobs for big companies. They work internships, small jobs, retail, food services, general labor.

This is so completely not the situation going on that it's fucking imbecilic.

[Warpy]

26. The market's been flirting with -300

Now that he just had to open that shithole he calls a mouth, it'll probably drop beyond -400.

Heckuva job, Stupid.

Everything in my being wants to scream at Congress, "GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE!"

[O.M.B.inOhio]

27. That prick is going to be among the unemployed soon! I'd love to see him begging for change.

[islandmkl]

28. how long the little bastards been out of school?

like 1 week, maybe 2....

and they have had a MAJOR IMPACT??!!

...at least rover wrote jr. some GOOD propaganda....

[elehhhhna]

30. Unemployment figures are derived from FILINGS of unemployment, which schoolkids

DO NOT GET.

HE LIES.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

33. That's what I thought, too - but even if it were true what the Chimp says

that young people are responsible for the rise in unemployment - don't young people count? Is the economy only supposed to work for mature workers? Isn't our economy supposed to continually create jobs for new people entering the work force in order to be considered healthy? Or does the Chimp consider young people to be half-persons who don't count?

[liberal N proud]

31. Makes sense- - - NOT!

Kids wanting jobs causes unemployment? :wtf:

[stray cat]

32. those really good part time jobs at minimum wage w/o benefits

[tomg]

34. I think his handlers have

finally decided that they are out of there in a few months, so what the fuck: just let him go out and say whatever complete bullshit pops into his - I hesitate to use the word - brain. Next thing you know, he'll start talking about Eskimo Pies and global warming, or why people need to buy more shoehorns.

I hate him, too.

[acmavm]

41. I totally agree with you. Those thugs you so aptly call his 'handlers' are

busy with other things now that the wheels are falling off the trolley. What with the fact that lately some pretty serious charges have been laid against this bunch and for a change the accuser's have proof, unemployment statistics is the last thing that care about. Plus they're outta there in a few months, they could give a damn. They're gonna dump this mess on the next guy, whoever it is, and give us the finger as they stroll out the door smirking.

[sarcasmo]

36. Kids on summer break. This Tool is priceless.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

37. Somebody, quick,

Ask him what his approval ratings are, and how do you make a really good Margarita?

[GreenEyedLefty]

38. He's a fuckwit. I can't stand to watch him speak.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

39. Caption: "Fat one, skinny one, a yellow one too. But the one little duck with a feather on his back

He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack!"

[OhioChick]

43. He's full of shit. n/t

[galledgoblin]

44. what.

:grr: :banghead:

[Javaman]

45. I'm hoping for the day when the men in the white suits lead him* off the podium. nt

[LSK]

47. college kids on break take out unemployment benefits?????????

[Career Prole]

51. Just like Scooby-do! "If it hadn't been for those pesky kids..."

Someone should ask him if that's the case what the unemployment figures would look like without Roe v. Wade.
His friggin' head would explode.

Say...there's an idea!

Hang in there. We'll make it.

[KamaAina]

52. For the last time, chimps are not monkeys, they are apes!

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

55. Oh NOES! Does it mean?

Is he saying we shouldn't tell kids who are in their late teens or early twenties, lying on the sofa watching Spongebob that they should get off their butts and get a job, when they ask for money? Sending your bum kids into the workforce is bad for the country?

[windoe]

56. I don't think he even believes his own lies. n/t

[leftofthedial]

57. shomeone should tell im that

comparing thish month to the same month lasht year showsh that to be a falshe premishe

[krkaufman]

58. If kids on summer break are causing an unemployment spike ...

... then we don't have enough skilled-labor jobs, you ignorant frickin' monkey.

[treestar]

59. They are worse than those working women and all those damn

illegal aliens! :sarcasm:

After all, if someone else is working, it harms me! Harms me, you hear!!!1111 I'm series!!!! If someone else is working, that hurts my chances of working!!111 :sarcasm:

[Fleshdancer]

60. Which is why they need to get off of McCain's lawn. Damn meddling kids!

:wtf:

Well on the bright side, maybe this will put some fire under the asses of the three or four youth voters that haven't already gotten on the Obama bandwagon.

[JustAnotherGen]

62. Ahhhhh

LOL! I just turn him off. It's helped the headaches I had for all those years beginning in - um - maybe late 2000? Besides - I liked the monkeys in Dunston Checks in and Any Which Way But Loose much much better.
