George W Bush thinks Sarah Palin is 'unqualified'
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 11/05/2010 11:26:17 PM PDT by Chet 99

Mr Bush has allegedly told friends that Mrs Palin is not qualified to be president and criticises John McCain for picking her as his Running Mate in 2008

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official close to Mr Bush told the New York Daily News.

"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."

Mr Bush has allegedly been disparaging about Mrs Palin in the past.

Matt Latimer, former special assistant to Mr Bush, wrote in a book released last year: "'I'm trying to remember if I've met her before. I'm sure I must have.' [Mr Bush's] eyes twinkled, then he asked, 'What is she, the governor of Guam?'"

Chet and his apparent ghost need some of my coffee:

In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.

Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.

I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.

Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.

Nah. It’s just Saturday night.

But you go on. I’ll just lie here and rest for a while.

And that brought to mind something from Whose Line is it Anyway.

If GWB does in fact hold this position, it's likely because of Palin's staunch stance regarding border security and illegal immigration. (Bush was/is pathetically weak on this issue). Plus he's an establishment kind of guy, and Sarah is the precise opposite.

Are Pitstop and Odin going to have a glass of champagne to celebrate?

Pitstop, Salamander and Odin are too young.

The rest may have a shot when you get home!

Well, that’s actually from a photograph in a biker magazine from the late ‘70s or early ‘80s of a motocross wipeout with the bike’s carrying on while the rider is face-down in the dust. It was captioned, “You go on, Old Paint. I’ll just lie here and rest for a while.”

And that’s from some old oater spoof that had a similar situation with a horse, but I forget exactly what and when.

“hard to tell if it is the Bush topic or Chet’s zotting, that is the big draw here.”

Probably about 30/70 odds on which one.....;D

[if you were here late last night when The Blessed Event first happened, why didn’t you ping me awake!?!]...LOL

I may hijack the already hijacked-hijacked thread again if something else sparkly catches my eye.
