Hmmm. Did Lenin get laid more by talking this incomprehensibly? Or can we lay the blame for his totalitarianism on the fact he wasn't getting any?

Well I say we use this in the next election as a tactic in a swing state. Only this time try to get them to vote for Jeb instead of the democrat.

It's ironic how one can use a plethora of words to verbalize a paucity of thought.
But then, talk's cheap.

I've seen a few TV programmes in recent months where journalists have gone out interviewing American voters.
I don't think the Guardian readers could have made any difference one way or the other whilst so many Americans appear to be under the sickening delusion that they have an intelligent, hard working, God fearing, 'Good ol' Texan boy' (some people interviewed actually said this!) sitting in the Whitehouse.
When there are people like Bush sitting in the Whitehouse, all the rest of us can is turn to God and pray for deliverance!

I now officially hate you. Because now I feel compelled to point out the stupidity of your comments, which is a de-facto defense of Dubya.
The "delusions" about Dubya you cite as self-evident are:
- intelligent - I think most of this guy's policies are fucking stupid, but that's the nature of my philosophical beliefs. For those who agree with his philosophies, he probably doesn't seem quite as stupid. Moreover, regardless of appearances, and my suspiciions, we don't exactly have any WAISS-III numbers to comment on.
- hard-working - You don't really expect that he could have stirred up this much shit just by lounging all the time, do you? He didn't win this last election by winking at a couple cameras from his La-Z-boy while sipping margaritas, chump.
- god-fearing - His ilk of belief seems to resonate with at least some portion of the population. Who the fuck are you to decide who doesn't seem god-fearing to them?
- 'Good ol' Texan boy' - Being governor of Texas officially qualifies someone as being Texan in perpetuity. Dumbass.
Now go fuck off and die and get off my side, while I bathe myself in bleach.

Rook,
I understand that you hold the exhalted position of
'Host' but I would be grateful for clarification as to what it it means to be 'officially hated'.
Are there some Shipmates who you hate informally or unofficially?

There are people I hate, and people I don't hate as much. This status can be unknown to people other than myself, or they can be offically announced. Your status is currently without ambiguity.

- Intelligent - This is a man who can barely string two words together to make a coherent sentence without a teleprompter. He has absolutely no original thought. He was a frat boy alcoholic, who's father greased the slides into an Ivy League school and later a cush job as jet-jockey in the state-side reserves to protect his lilly ass from random shrapnel poisoning. His entire agenda is the work of others, dominated by big business and oil.
- hard - working - The only "work" this man did was run an oil company, invested in by the Bin Laden family, which ultimately failed.
- god-fearing - Oh, yes. In danger of losing his wife and family because of his drinking, he was introduced to Billy Graham by his father, saw the light and accepted Jesus as his saviour. Now we have a man who believes he has "...a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom."
- 'Good ol' Texan boy' - Did anyone notice the number of cowboy hats in the crowd at the recent inauguration?

It really pisses me off that I feel compelled to defend Dubya any more at all. I shall have my revenge, you tungsten-pantie wearing freak.

Not true. I think he also ran a baseball team or something into the ground.

All he did was count beans in the front office and pass out season tickets to his cronies.

Have you ever tried counting beans? That's hard work, man!

Yes, I did. It gave me ulcers and broke up my first marriage. Now, I live a simple life of contemplation and philosophic philanthropy.

No. That was a 27,000 volt ground fault shock I received while adjusting the convergence on a new color picture tube during my television repairman days.

"Hard-working"
One of the commonest excuses put forward for people who aren't reaslly up to the mark. I'd rather have an idle sod that can do the job than an industrious one that can't.
