Bush: In light of this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech I've decided not to be funny.

[Fridays Child]

Oh, really, Mr. Bush? But you can go to the White House Correspondents' Dinner and joke, in the most cavalier and heartless manner, about a lie you told that has caused the deaths of thousands of American troops and hundred of thousands of Iraqi innocents?

There are no words to describe the depths of your soulless, self-serving depravity.

1. Hmm

Lots of soulless people at that thing, Bush fits right in.

2. If I was a celebrity, I wouldn't go to one of these dinners even if you paid me

I could never stomach dining with some of the pieces of shit in that room.

5. Colbert pretty much gave that 'gathering' the kiss of death.

IMO. Reminded them of all their bullshit.

3. Oh, that speech(?) at the high school wasn't supposed to be funny?

How droll!

[Fridays Child]

6. Good point!

I hadn't even thought of that.

[WinkyDink]

4. But he could then LAUGH at a lame comedian, right? HYPOCRITICAL PSYCHO.

7. I didn't watch the Rich Little section.

I did notice that Bush was ever so arrogantly slouched in his chair, up there at the front of the room. He's so vain that Carly Simon needs to write a few new verses to her song.

8. Lowering expectations as if he needed to.

[Phredicles]

9. Too bad he can't decide not to be stupid or crazy.

[Fridays Child]

10. He could, if he wanted to, but...

...wisdom and sanity just don't pay as well, I guess.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. In his last days, I guess?

I expect he will behave in his usual inappropriate manner for the rest of his 'Presidency'

12. How about if he said this;

"In light of the ongoing tragedy in Iraq I've decided not to be President."
