Bush gets new name from Indian chiefs

[Turtlebah]

Invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation last
weekend in Arizona, President Bush spoke for almost an hour of his future
plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living.

Though vague on the details of his plan, he appeared enthusiastic about his
ideas for helping his “red brothers.�

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a
plaque inscribed with his new Indian name — ‘Walking Eagle’.

As the President departed waving to the crowd in his motorcade, a news
reporter asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name given
to the President.

They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit
it can no longer fly.

1. Bush could also be called "Albatross Around Our Necks"

[EST]

2. Eagle-a huge bird-more of an anachronism, really-

prefers carrion, never picks on someone his own size and is an endangered species.
And now, one who is so full of shit he can't even fly-heh.

Does seem apropos, although walking buzzard or swollen asshole seems even more so.

3. Funny! I needed a laugh today!

Wonder how the WH will spin this little diddy? After all, the sharp eye of an eagle would be greatly curtailed if walking rather than flying. Would have liked the word soaring better than flying but that brings JA to mind! K&R

4. Funny and brings to mind

Bush's response when questioned about tribal sovereignty in the 21st century-

"Tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. You're a—you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." - Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004

5. Would that be W for Walking Eagle or C for Crapping Eagle?

My first thought on March 19 2003 (when "the Decider" Decided FOR Death and Destruction) was this smirking frat boy just SHIT in Our Nest.

I needed that laugh after the last 2 days. Now you'll have to excuse me while I go clean up the coffee I sprayed on my keyboard when I read that last line!

8. I knew from the post's title just what the Smirking Chimp's new name was

My Shoshone and Arapaho friends taught me a few years ago about this honorary (sic) title, giving it to a pompous Easterner who was the latest in a host of hypocrites who came to Wind River to "save them"

Homeland security -- Fighting terrorism since 1492.

Aho.
