The Bushes have never gotten over the word "wimp" -- can we call Shrub...

[DeepModem Mom]

one now? A famous Newsweek cover hit Bush I right between the eyes with "the wimp factor." I don't think he's ever gotten over it, nor has Bush the Little let one day go by without trying to be "unwimpy." He's now been proven totally ineffective, a zero, a do-nothing, a coward, a befuddled speaker, a fiddler while Rome burns. His Dad is a man of steel in comparison. I'd like to see an op-ed piece attaching the wimp word to the Crawford cowboy who doesn't go near a horse.

That might rattle his maybe-not-sober cage.

1. "Wimp" is good,

but "cheerleader" is deadly accurate history.

Little Miss Cheerleader Georgie.

4. Except that cheerleaders aren't wimps...or a bad thing to be

[OldLeftieLawyer]

5. In Bush's world, they are

Compare the sissy cheerleader George W. to his macho father, the war hero, baseball star, oil magnate, blah blah blah.

The sissy withers inside, believe me. Competing with his father is the only thing that's ever defined GWB. Remember that flight suit and his "Bring it on" bullshit?

6. I believe that ** has a problem with his dad. But you have to remember

that yes he cheered and it wasn't as athletic as what we do today, he also did other things like play rugby. So we can't quite get him for being a sissypants.

Better to go after him for falling short of poppy in the business world and political leadership.

7. No

I'll take any shot I can at him, and, by the way, he was a shitty rugby player, a completely worthless athlete.

Hence, the cheerleading.

I want him in a short skirt, with pompoms.

8. Dress him up like one of those NFL cheerleaders then

[OldLeftieLawyer]

9. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. Exactly. I know they work hard but I really think of pro cheerleaders

as dance teams, not rah-rahs.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

11. I think of them as

sort-of hookers, but without the business savvy.

It takes a very special woman to want to be a grown-up cheerleader........

12. Worthless athlete, worthless NG member, worthless businessman

AND TOTOLLY WORTHLESS PRESIDENT!

And I want him in an orange jumpsuit with shackles on his legs -- soon!
