We're not laughing now (Sure we are, at you: “eloquence of a second greater.”)

Posted on 07/18/2006 8:51:14 AM PDT by Liberty Toad

Remember back in 200 when George W. Bush was running for President? Even if you didn't support him, you were somewhat anticipating a Presidency with this amusing guy who didn't know the names of foreign leaders and who spoke with the eloquence of a second greater. Remember how after he was elected,Comedy Central even saw his Presidency as being whimsical enough to create a show, "That's my Bush." It was a laugh a minute back in those Bush salad days.

Now we have quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, a budding world war centered around Israel, $3 a gallon gas, $85 a barrel oil, the return of stagflation, a ballooning budget deficit, and a world that hates us.

I really don't feel like laughing anymore.

Hey, let's be nice to the little pissant....., I mean insurgent into the Free Republic territory. I keep hearing from their side that if we only understand these little insurgents they'll leave us alone and won't bother us misguided liberty lovers. And..And they may even come to accept us as nonthreatening and passive.

WOW, toad, I guess I need to get down on my knees and be guided by your higher mind because your perception is more true than actual reality. Man, such an epiphany.... I think I'll go walk in the wilderness for a while and contemplate.....

For starters oil is at 75.00 not 85.00.

"who spoke with the eloquence of a second greater."

Some first graders like yourself don't understand 'second graders' so they tend to belittle them. Before they do, however, they should know their own limitations.

IBTZ Yes!!

Stagflation? Ha, ha! Don't see interest rates at 14 % and there are no lines at the gas pumps. Leave it to a lefty to use terms from the Carter years. I thought the leftist communists like this poser, er poster, wanted high petroleum prices so we'd all stop driving SUVs?

What's a "second greater"? Is it better or worse than a "first greater"? Or does the author mean "second grader" but is is unable to communicate his meaning? What's this all about, anyway?

The members in this laundry list are either factually incorrect, or contain items that are not the responsibility of the President. The ignorance on display here is , well, par for the course, for a liberal.

Unless he DID mean 'second greater'

For example, I can make a good argument that Pope John Paul the Second was greater than Pope John Paul I.

But I digress into minutiae...

Severus ordered the execution of dozens of Senators on charges of corruption and conspiracy against him, replacing them with his own favorites.

HMMMMMM!
