Here you go then...
Now, back to business.
You object to what exactly? That I think you are immature? Dense? Or the fact that I DIDN'T call you stupid?

WASHINGTON - First lady Laura Bush stole the show with a surprise comedy routine that ripped President Bush and brought an audience that included much of official Washington and a dash of Hollywood to a standing ovation at a dinner honoring award-winning journalists.
The president planned a speech late Saturday at the 91st annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but was quickly "interrupted" by his wife in an obviously planned ploy.
"Not that old joke, not again," she said to the delight of the audience. "I've been attending these dinners for years and just quietly sitting there. I've got a few things I want to say for a change."
The president sat down and she proceeded to note that he is "usually in bed by now" and said she told him recently, "If you really want to end tyranny in the world you're going to have to stay up later."
She outlined a typical evening: "Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep and I'm watching `Desperate Housewives'." Comedic pause. "With Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife."
But she said they obviously were destined to be together as a couple because "I was the librarian who spent 12 hours a day in library and yet somehow I met George."
Joining the Bushes were Vice President Dick Cheney and wife Lynne, nine Cabinet members and two Supreme Court justices, Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer.
News organizations hosted show business and sports stars such as Goldie Hawn, LL Cool J, Richard Gere, Jane Fonda and the starting quarterbacks of this year's Super Bowl, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Award winners announced earlier this month:
_Ron Fournier of The Associated Press, the Merriman Smith Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure for his stories on Bush's victory over John Kerry.
_Susan Page of USA Today, the Aldo Beckman Award for her stories on the presidency and the presidential campaign.
_Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Edgar A. Poe Award for a series of stories on athletes' steroid use.
Presidents since Calvin Coolidge have attended the dinner hosted by the association, which was established in 1914 as a bridge between the press corps and the White House.
I noticed that those who agreed that Terri Schiavo should strave also enjoy potty mouth....also though some can't decide Clinton or Bush style!
You could at least give a post # if what you say is true unpleasant person!
May I mambo dog face to the banana patch?
I thought that was Dog gone!
Some have been deleted, but other totten attacks remain.
Check out any of the threads on the subject, and you'll see them.
(I'm not going to repeat the words again. They are vile).
There is no way she did not know what Desperate Housewife is it was a big deal during the opening of Monday night football!
To say her daughters recogment it....please!
I would not brag that my children endorse such sleaze!
Than we get Chipendales a male strip club for women...
Chummy with the Clintons!
The writting is on the wall......
every new program that comes down the pike like "No Child Left Behind!" Faith based programs etc will have government tentacles far reaching to strangle sovereignty...
Our Boarders are open yet the ability to track each citizen is expanding in to every area...to walk down the steet, to look into your abode or to buy a stick of gum has a bar code....
NWO is moving forward
Mmmmm, cupcakes.
For someone so disturbed by alleged nastiness, you sure do toss around a lot of insults yourself.
You are immature, but not stupid.
Oh really? Back in post #358 of this thread, you joined another Bush groupie in calling me "quite dense." Well, texasflower, the word dense is a synonym for stupid! Maybe you should spend more time previewing your posts and less time contradicting yourself!
You are quite the drama queen.
Here you go then...
Now, back to business.
You object to what exactly? That I think you are immature? Dense? Or the fact that I DIDN'T call you stupid?
You object to what exactly?
You called me dense, but then you said I'm not stupid. That's like calling someone obese, but then saying they're not fat. Help me out here. I'm having an identity crisis. Am I an idiot or not? Make up your mind!
Okay. I'll have a bit of mercy on you, dumpling.
I do not think you are stupid. While some people might use dense as a synonym for stupid, I used dense as in "you are being very obtuse". The definition I am using for obtuse is this one...
2. Not having acute sensibility or perceptions; not alert
So, I think you are immature and dense, but not stupid.
HOWEVER, if you don't get it this time, then I might have to reconsider "stupid".
Do you think I was dense when I voted for Bush in 2000?
Nope. I think you were dense when you voted for Petrouka.
Yeah she was so funny.....YUK YUK YUK.......I've never heard anything so funny in my life......(sarcasm off)
Actually, it's Peroutka. And if that's true, I was dense when I voted for Republicans Doc Hastings, George Nethercutt, Dino Rossi, etc., because I used the same judgment to vote for them on the same ballot as Peroutka.
By the way, isn't it nasty to call somebody dense just because you disagree with some of their politics? Or is it only nasty to find a First Lady's speech unfunny and sophomoric?
If you used the same criteria to vote for the others as you did to vote for Petroutka, then maybe so.
You seem to be missing the point of my comments to you.
Fringers as a group exhibit very mean and nasty personality traits. Almost every single one of you have a overly dramatic, mean spirited, hateful, and never satisfied attitude.
Birds of a feather thing I guess.
When I look back at some of the remarks in this thread from people defending Laura Bush, I see some pretty mean-spirited and hateful stuff coming from your side. I saw Michelle Malkin on the O'Reilly Factor last night, and she's being called a lemon-sucking conservative just because she took issue with Laura Bush's speech. Somebody way back on this thread labeled Malkin a Bush-hater and questioned her motives just because of what she's written about the current illegal immigration epidemic in this country.
That brings us to your last point of people like me who are "never satisfied." It's my position that no American should ever be satisfied with politicians. Judging from the polls, America was very satisfied with the way Clinton was doing his job during his second term in office. His approval ratings were sometimes around 70 percent. That had to include a lot of moderate Republicans (not "fringers" but moderates). It definitely didn't include me.
Osama bin Laden was free to train terrorists and dispatch them throughout the world at the same time as Americans sat back in their recliners giving Clinton a thumbs-up sign because the economy happened to be booming (however so temporarily) under his watch.
People like myself who expressed outrage after Clinton's 1999 pardons of F.A.L.N. terrorists were called things like "overly dramatic." This was before 9-11. I wanted and urged that Clinton be impeached a second time for clearly abusing the power to pardon to help his wife with Puerto Rican voters in New York state. I didn't hear too many other Republicans going that far. They should have. If they had, we could've avoided all the additional last-minute pardons by Clinton in 2001 and we may also have prevented 9-11 from happening the way it did. We'll never know, because too many Americans - including many Republicans - were "satisfied" with Clinton.
You can bitch all you want about intense political criticism, but that's what keeps this country on its toes instead of on its ass. Oops, sorry, I guess I'm being "overly dramatic" again. Here's some more: Right now, George W. Bush is risking his legacy by viewing our border issues as a question of race relations instead of a question of national security. It could come back to bite him in the history books. But worst of all, it could come back to bite this country in a way we can't even imagine as we debate this right now.
There is a great big difference between the disgusting Laura bashing and what was going on with Clinton.
As far as "disgusting Laura bashing," some of us actually believe she gave a bad speech and we're not afraid to criticize her speech. It's a million times better to have Laura as our First Lady instead of Hillary, but that doesn't exempt Laura from criticism when it's deserved.
It's been quite entertaining to see how irritated you've become over the criticism against Laura Bush. Just out of curiosity, did you get as irritated during Clinton's time in office when you saw some RINOs supporting him or tolerating his corruption. Isn't that a heck of a lot more important to the country? How do you feel about Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lincoln Chafee, Arlen Specter, Christopher Shays, William Weld, Rudy Giuliani, etc? Are you as mad at them for drifting to the middle on something as important as Clinton's corruption as you are at people like me who vote hard right because Bush let us down?
And one hypothetical question: How would you have voted in the 2004 election if all the polls going into the election had shown Peroutka (Constitution Party) with 49 percent, Kerry with 48 percent and Bush with less than 1 percent?
