President George Bush today, confirmed a recent Newsweek magazine cover story, admitting that he's "living in a bubble" - isolated and aloof.
"I confess that I don't wake up each day on the same planet as Newsweek's editors," said Mr. Bush. "So, I guess I'm isolated from the world where the U.S. is always wrong, terrorists have legitimate rights, Cindy Sheehan formulates sound foreign policy, record employment figures and falling gas prices signal imminent economic doom, civil rights are endangerd by preserving heterosexual marriage, abortion is the most valued freedom for women and the federal government fulfills the role of the father, the mother, the church and the local government."
Mr. Bush said he agreed with the Newsweek assertion that he "may be the most isolated president in modern history."
"I admit," said Mr. Bush, "that I'm almost completely isolated from public opinion pollsters and journalists who start with answers and craft questions to elicit them. I'm virtually cut off from believing the non-stop barrage of negative news about an emerging democratic nation that will have three legitimate elections this year after decades of dictatorship. I'm aloof from the world in which bitter critics with no vision are treated as diplomats and sages."
Mr. Bush added, "When you see a shimmering, transparent bubble wall, you gotta ask yourself: which side of it am I on?"
Scott Ott Rules!
How the h*ll would you know ya dammed ole jarhead!
P. S. Merry Christmas!
I thought Bubble Boy was one of those gay cowboys.
Rush just revealed that the author, Thomas, who wrote the newsweak article is the grandson of the commie founder of the ACLU.
The same founder who ran as a socialist for president in the 20's and 30's. The same founder who railed against the USA during WW I!
Actually, the journalistic standard for many years now has been to refer to the President as "President XXXX" in the first mention, then just "XXXX" after that. The use of "Mr. XXXX" in subsequent mentions is not required, so Scott's use of it show a level of respect that is beyond journalistic requirements.
I've got news for you, Georgie-boy: You're in a bubble WITHIN a bubble.
Yes, Sheehan is a bimbo appearing as you're polar opposite,
But as far as I'm concerned, that makes her a mirror-image reflection of your own idiocy.
The triumph of the mob is just as evil a thing as the triumph of the plutocracy, and to have escaped one danger avails nothing whatever if we succumb to the other. In the end the honest man, whether rich or poor, who earns his own living and tries to deal justly by his fellows, has as much to fear from the insincere and unworthy demagog, promising much and performing nothing, or else performing nothing but evil, who would set on the mob to plunder the rich, as from the crafty corruptionist, who, for his own ends, would permit the common people to be exploited by the very wealthy. If we ever let this Government fall into the hands of men of either of these two classes, we shall show ourselves false to America's past. Moreover, the demagog and the corruptionist often work hand in hand. There are at this moment wealthy reactionaries of such obtuse morality that they regard the public servant who prosecutes them when they violate the law, or who seeks to make them bear their proper share of the public burdens, as being even more objectionable than the violent agitator who hounds on the mob to plunder the rich. There is nothing to choose between such a reactionary and such an agitator; fundamentally they are alike in their selfish disregard of the rights of others; and it is natural that they should join in opposition to any movement of which the aim is fearlessly to do exact and even justice to all.
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 6th Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1906
Outstanding.
How you can you be a polar opposite and a mirror image reflection at the same time? What's the speed of light in YOUR universe?
Excellent! Ott is fast becoming America's premiere satirist.
incredible quote!!!! that deserves its own post- and then ping 'W' to make sure he uses it in his next speach
My universe is the real world.
But the laws of physics don't apply to the morons inside the bubble: Sheehan and Bush.
Apparently the laws of grammar don't apply either.
Scrappleface strikes again.
This one is a keeper.
GIANT BUMP, and I'll be back to bump it some more.
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have posted more, but it's really hard to type when you're rolling on the floor laughing your head off. Most excellent!
Heck, if the laws of grammar were strictly enforced,
we'd all still be speaking Sanskrit or some other prehistoric babble.
LOL! Ain't THAT the truth!!!
LMAO!!!
I hope some WH staffer who reads here passes that along to the Prez. I'd bet he'd get a kick out of it, and no doubt wishes he could say that kind of thing, just as we do.
