I'm watching Bush's press conference on Countdown: Can the f**ker finish a sentence without pauses?

[marmar]

:dunce: It just lends to the theory that someone's talking to him through an earpiece, waiting for more words to say.

[babylonsister]

1. And his referring to himself in the 3rd person drives me bonkers! nt

[Hardrada]

2. Jimmy doesn't like that!

Neither does Bushie! Like in that Seinfeld episode.

[marmar]

3. Exactly. Hallmark of an insecure asshole who's desperate to prove his legitimacy.

4. English is his second language

He's much more fluent in Moran-ian,

16. 2nd language?

You're too kind.

[malaise]

5. Just give thanks you did not watch it live

:rofl:

[nightrider767]

6. It's Karl Rove

Coaching, with his buddy the Evil Lord, live from the Mines Of Moria.

Quick, hide the children.

[johnfunk]

7. Not without a teleprompter or Rove whispering in his ear -- I swear Bush is brain-damaged.

[marmar]

9. "I swear Bush is brain-damaged"

No doubt about it. He's like an old computer hard drive that can't process info correctly anymore.

[nightrider767]

10. Bush Has Been Implanted By Aliens

I think when they "probed" him,,,, they left an implant. He's walks funny. Ever notice that?

[johnfunk]

21. George W. Bush joins Eric Cartman in the Extraterrestrial Anal Probe Hall of Fame!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. He's slow, has a low I.Q., and is angry as hell about it.

That's (I think) part of why he agrees to do so much damage for his pals (like Cheney). He wants to hurt people for feeling so inferior.

[madrchsod]

11. good observation

i think pickles thought he was her white knight and as the years dragged on he became her nightmare. there is`t a shred of love within her soul for him.. he`s so starved for affection that he has to touch strangers to make himself feel alive..yes he wants to hurt people and i think he always has

[Sarah Ibarruri]

18. Pickles is not as dumb as her husband, but.....

....Pickles is not that bright. Also, she lacks depth. She's the type to weep when someone's turkey doesn't turn out good on Thanksgiving and it was a huge get-together, but she wipes her @$$ on the soldiers that are dying in Iraq because her dumb-ass husband is following Cheney's orders. I have zero admiration for the woman.

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. I think deep down, he hates himself and he takes it out on us. He does seems to have some

self esteem issues, too.

[Kahuna]

12. He pauses to think up lies.

;)

[Atman]

13. He was particularly bizarre today

Lots of heavy mouth-breathing, jumping and fidgeting all over the place. He probably wasn't allowed to finish his pint of JD before he took to the podium.

.

[marmar]

14. JD? I was thinking he was more of a Southern Comfort type of drunk....

:beer:

[lutefisk]

15. Actually, I think he was (is?) a Jim Beam drinker.

Isn't the story that in the depths of Junior's alcoholism, Laura gave him an ultimatum, 'It's Jim Beam or me.'?

I've seen that report in several places.

A carefree, heavy drinker of Jim Beam who wore penny loafers without socks - that was Junior back in the day.
:beer:

[MiniMe]

17. And the way he kept pursing his lips was freaking me out

Kind of like a drunk smacking his lips

[Samantha]

19. I can't believe you received 19 responses to this inquiry

I thought it was a rhetorical question.

[codjh9]

20. Funny you say that, because I normally NEVER watch or listen to him, but was

washing dishes and had NPR on, and that's the first thing I noticed, besides his annoying voice - was his 'uhs', and 'and, ah' pauses. NO WONDER I've been avoiding listening to him for the entire time I've been in office. Besides his smirky remarks and expressions.
