Bush pokes fun at himself at dinner

Your standards for argument might be even lower than his.

I have no standards.

Like I said, Republicans need to get a sense of humour.

Well it isn't a very funny troll. It's to shrill to appeal to most people's sense of humor. Perhaps you people should try to be more amusing next time.

And that's the real problem. If a guy tells a lame joke then he shouldn't be a leader.

Now compare Bush's joke to Blair.

Blair is in parliament on a routine day and says in a authoritative voice something like:
"We have explained our position clearly."
Spectator heckles him
In split second, Blair responds with a self-depreciating smile "Apparently not well enough."

Now I'm no fan of Blair, but I had to give him the thumbs up on that one. Ya got like a guy who is fast on his feet and able to laugh at himself.

Auditions for President of the US will be held at the Comedy Cabaret next Tuesday.

Thankfully this will finally exclude Margaret Cho.

Jon Stewart for president!

UR!!! Mr. Fun is misquoting! God knows you better bring down the thunder on the real thing, given your laughable threats towards Dino Doc and his spoofing...

[DinoDoc]

I'm almost willing to bet money that the useless bag of crap won't do anything.

[Drake Tungsten]

I won't take that bet.

No one who has dismissed Bush's arrogant statement as a non-issue within this thread has successfully refuted my earlier post of why this IS an issue.

I suggest you read that post or read this article, written by a Canadian, which develops my position in greater detail.

http://www.canoe.ca/Columnists/margolis_mar14.html


The summary to the article says it all :

President Bush has stuck his head into a hornet's nest. The U.S. will bleed men, money and reputation for a long time before it figures out how to get out of the first colonial misadventure of the 21st century.

Bush feels he has the election locked up because he is a wartime president. He thinks he can joke about WMDs and all you will do is give a sycophantic laugh. He's taken care of his personal agenda and now he plans to distract you from the war's negative effects by giving you red herrings:

Please point out where you said why this is an issue, I can't find it.

And don't give me another link to an article, explain your position.

ACK!

Well, since you said "please"...

I think it is an arrogant statement because Bush has never given us concrete proof that WMD existed in Iraq. He took for granted the British brief that stated WMD were in Iraq , which has since been discredited, along with vague CIA intelligence reports on Iraq, and ran with the Iraqi War before fully checking the situation out. Why? Because he had a personal agenda with Iraq that he needed to address. As someone pointed out earlier, Saddam tried to kill his father. And, no wartime president has ever failed to get reelected. The arrogant statement this morning says to the world, "I got away with my private war at your expense, and there is nothing you can do about it".

I believe that I already responded to that.
