I don’t recall Pres. Bush’s self-deprecation involving insults to others.

Hey! That's the guy from O Brother Where Art Thou! The one who gets turned into a toad!

Yep. He was “definitely over the line” with that remark. “[Bambee], this is not [ChiTown]. This is bowling. There are rules.”

This is what comes out of his mouth when the words haven’t been written for him by Bill Ayers.

He’s basically a street hustler who hustled his way into the presidency.

Imagine if a Republican had compared his own lack of sports ability to the Special Olympics. Would we ever hear the end of it?

One thing that liberals and commies like to do is belittle, diminish and even liquidate the disabled.

Can he not utter one sentence without having to issue an apology for it later?

It’s not that he doesn’t know what to say, he’s just an asshole and if not spoon fed lines, he’ll say something stupid.

The Kenyan is dead to me. BTW, it was probably another backhanded comment against Palins son.
