Who the Fuck is Worse?

(I haven't looked yet, but the link is there under my CNN feed)

Watching Tweety and I heard there's a survey ranking presidents and Dubya ranks 36. I'm cornfused. Very very verrrrrry cornfused.

Seriously, SIX presidents were worse? This must be a misguided effort at being bi partisan. Or charitable. Or perhaps stupid. Ya think? ???

Must be that he's tied. six way? Hmmm... I give up; gotta look.

Ooo... this is kinda interesting:

The prize for the greatest jump in approval from historians over the last nine years, however, went to a president who has often sat near the bottom of such rankings: Ulysses S. Grant. The Civil War general jumped 10 notches, from 33rd to 23rd.

Grant has traditionally received poor marks for corruption among people in his administration and the failed postwar reconstruction effort he presided over.

They give a bunch of crap possible reasons for the jump, but I just think it's numbness due to the common placeness granted to corruption and ineptitude by Dubya's cronies. Ida figgered he'd a been one of 'em.

Ahhh.... Buchanan. PA's eternal source of shame. The Keystone state's only president. dead last. Harding... yeah I could see him as being worse. Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce... I have to confess, I know little about them. Who else could rank lower? That's only four who are more fuckupulous. Who're the other two?

Andrew Johnson... Survived impeachment by only one vote. I guess if he'd been better than Dubya he would have avoided the whole process...? That can't be the reason or Clinton would rank lower also.

William Henry Harrison... no fair. The fucker died after only 32 days in office. He didn't have time to do much of anything beside getting sick and dying. "Vote George Dubya... He survived fatal colds." Riiiiight. I'm not thinking so. Fuckin' Dub.... he's #37 at best.

Bullshitiousness and Douchebaggery... part faux

Fucks Noise is going to have an interview with wannabe royal family: Aitch Dub and Dubya. WOWeee...

Wear your fucking chest waders and hide anything harder that your Teevee screen. Keep it all out of reach anyway.

My question:

Where are the drinking games?

I didn't catch the C&L roster of talking head guests, but today seems to be a fucking gold shit mine: Cheney on CNN, Snuffy's Gang of Four and the ultimate living justification for abortion on demand and his dad... I hope I can resist relapsing on my sobriety.

I hope this hits the YouTube later today

On MSNBC:

James Cromwell explains and defends the "formulation" and validity of the movie "W". Sheds a bit of insight as to why the little fucktard turned out to be the shithead he is today:

Grampy Prescott was an alcoholic, a fact which was hidden and denied by the family and led to HW's inability to deal with Dubya's lifelong douchebaggery and bullshitiousness.

Dubya grew up thinking his old man was a weakling. Which would explain his fascination with all things Reagan, including his fake ranch in Crawford, where he gets to live out his childhood dream of being a cowboy. (except he's scared shitless of horses)

Some things skip a generation: Dubya is an alcoholic. With a Midas touch that turns all things to shit and dreams of following in Grampy's foot steps and overthrowing the government -- ripping it all for billions to avenge Grampy and enrich his cronies at the very least.

Cromwell goes into his personal research and defends his and Stone's positions and versions of Dubya's life. One book he gave a lot of weight was Kitty Kelly's, "The Family." A book I must admit, has sat on my shelf unread. Chuck Todd tries to shoot down the movie and Cromwell defends their version of history as every bit as valid as Todd's.

I think what we're seeing is that we will forever have to do our own research into fact, as we see the toolishness behind the networks and their spin shows news reports... did I cross out the right words? Finding facts ourselves is a bit harder, since we actually have to work for a living, and don't have the luxury of putting vast resources and time into research. On the other hand, facts have never been more accessible than they are today in this age of the web; as long as free access and neutrality is maintained. Don't count on it though; not in this age of "corporate personhood."

An aside here: I like Mika better when she and the Scar are separated. I can almost consider her a real news person, with a working brain, when she's not doing her patented nods, points and winks, while she schlumps over the side of her stoll in his direction.

Visualise Whirled Others

For some fucking reason, and I can't figure out why (so call me stupid; least I'm not evil/republican) I've gotten a lot of hits from here. Well, investigating, I took a look at the little widget that tracks the hits to his tags. Pretty cool. The top tags are:

(from BOLDEST to least, or from MOST hit to least)

BUSH real surfuckingprise there

Evil and Republicans seem to be tied; unfortunately not to a concrete anchor.

Oh fuck, I forgot Stupidity, tied with the last two. Fancy that. Ooooweee.

and.... Nonsense. Now what the fuck would Nonsense have to do with Dumbass Evil Republican followers of Bush, eh?

OK. It Was Bound to Happen Sooner or Later

I got tagged. This meme, or whatever you call it, has been allllllll over the place. I just so happened to be reading at Jen's and saw that she tagged me at the end. My apologies to anyone else, if they tagged me first and I didn't see. Here be zee rules:

1) Pick up the nearest book

2) Go to page 123

3) Read through the first 5 sentences

4) Plagar... post the next three

[5) See if you can say something interesting and original about them]

So... from Bush on the Couch by Justin A Frank, M.D.

While one could argue that many politicians share one or two of these traits, it's difficult to name a single politician who exhibits all of them. When viewed together, they form a pattern of related linguistic misfires and abuses that raises startling and profound questions. Not surprisingly, Bush's wayward way with words reminds us once again of the learning and coping mechanisms he uses to try to tame the chaos that rages in his mind.

Ooooeee... I have to confess to not having read the entire book yet, so this makes me wonder what "All of these traits" are? Then when he goes further and says not just "linguistic misfires," but "linguistic abuses," he reinforces my belief that Dubya is not a moron who accidentally butchers the language, but that he's smart enough to use the misuse of language as a manipulative tool. Perhaps one of those "profound questions," eh?

His "wayward way with words..." like "dissembling?" Nice way to talk about his butchering of the language, but regardless of how you say it, it supposedly reminds us of TWO deficiencies: Deficiencies of learning mechanisms, and deficiencies of coping mechanisms. To me this says Dub can't cope, because he can't learn (from experience.) His language butchery are exhibits of his attempts to hammer square pegs into round holes. And of course, failing, consistently, "to tame the chaos that rages in his mind" (such as it is)... Does that really need embellishment?

I know the meme says 3 sentences, but I'm going to go beyond and include a fourth sentence; the one that ends the paragraph from which the first three came:

Moreover, closer inspection suggests that Bush doesn't just struggle with language; he perverts it, in ways that reveal a capacity for indifference and contempt that reverberates far beyond the written or spoken word.

As I've said many times before: The genus of Bush/Rove was to convince the world he was a moron; to get people to "misunderestimate" him; to thereby truly become the master of low expectations. He's just a stupid drunk frat boy, right? Yeah, who's fucked up the country and the world in ways no one could have imagined a US president ever would. And I do remember Nixon, so there.

No tags; I'd probably just hit people a second time.

Things that Make You Want to Shit Your Pants

OK... make ME want to shit MY pants. Provided I don't have to sit in them afterwards.....

I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard a little sound bite of the fake-Texan-Fuckstain who wishes Reagan was his real daddy. Some shit about how important this upcoming election is.

"Peace and Prosperity hang in the balance." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

So, does this fuckwad believe that we now live in peace and prosperity? and that if a Dem wins that we'll lose them? ??? or

Does he believe, or rather realize, that he was the one who squandered a surplus to make room for record deficits and a recession soon to become a depression? while involving us in two wars? one for at best questionable reasons, the other for no good reason at all except that it's more fun to play with real people soldiers than plastic ones? ??? Is he trying to be subliminibable and tell us to elect a Dem and maybe, possibly get a little economic sanity back, while making some efforts to bring a bit of peace to the world? ??? ?????

The shit that spews from this fucktard's mouth never ceases to amaze me. I have to wonder if he believes his own lies, or if he's lied so much and so often that he's incapable anymore of knowing the difference between lies and truth?

And BTW Tennesseeans, learn from Katrina: You're on your fucking own.

Update:
Hmmm.... I should have realized C&L would have been on this when it happened. Oh well.

WOW! Where will the Nazis Go? ???

You all really need to look at this Paraguay shit. Fuck if if oil and gas isn't involved here too. Little beady-eyed bastard never fucking stops does he?

Now don't go accusing me of not being fair and balanced.

OK... Let the Games Begin (With Update)

As I said yesterday, Ann, has her game up, complete with links to her charity, and her past games. Her charity is a good cause; really good. Did you know that Dub's military sends these poor bastards home without so much as a shaving kit? No razor, tooth brush, clean undies...? So this outfit puts together kits that cost $127 and at least give a wounded soldier a start. The military bills soldiers for shit they may not get to bring back. Like their rifles.

And then there's Rachel Maddow's game. No links to her past games, although I suppose you could google them.

I know it's late, but hopefully all of you have all the info you need from yesterday's links.

I wonder what Cummander Codpiece will call the SOTU (if he even gives them) when he becomes dictator..?

Update:

I forgot to mention that JP says he will be live blogging the SOTU. One of his readers, Bukko, put up a link to an article with a few suggestions on where to go to find more games. If all else fails, use the google, to explore the tubes via: Drinking games, SOTU. There's only 152,000 or so from which to choose.

For Dubya's Festival of Broken English

When ol' Cummander Codpiece gets up tomorrow night to supposedly give us the straight scoop on how the country's doing, remember:

the 935 lies he told about Iraq,
the lies about tax cuts benefiting all Umercins,
the lies about cutting the/HIS deficits in half,
the lies about pursuing those who outed Valerie Plame,
the constant covering up and stonewalling Congress (lying),
the lies about destroyed e-mails,
the lies about torturing innocents,
the lies about listening to his military commanders,
the lies about Iran,
the lies... I haven't mentioned, BUT:

Remember that this guy promised to bring honor and dignity back to the White House. Watch, compare, contrast, and then see if you can keep from laughing (or puking) tomorrow night.

Bill O'Lielly Humanitarian (with update)

Billy the Bully is at it again. As if he ever stops.

Anyone with their head out of the sand, or their ass, knows this country has a MAJOR problem with veterans' care. Further, anyone with their head out of the sand, or their ass, knows this problem gets worse with each year of a Refuckyoucan in the White House. Remember Bush'sveto because of the extravagance of a 3.5% over a 3% pay raise for the troops? How he said:

"The problems at Walter Reed were caused by bureaucratic and administrative failures."

when he described the slums and ghettos we call outpatient facilities at Walter Reed? Red tape my ass

Violante stated, "To pay for the Bush Administration’s $1.7 trillion tax reduction plan, the majority leadership and Budget Committee Chairman in the United States House of Representatives are pushing a fiscal year 2004 budget resolution that would drastically slash veterans and other Federal programs. This budget resolution would require reductions in spending on discretionary programs such as veterans’ medical care and would also require the Veterans’ Affairs Committees to report legislation to eliminate or cut mandatory programs such as disability compensation."

you piece of shit.

Which brings me to the latest installment of the Fucks News/Refuck Epic: The Democrats Hate the Troops. I first heard an exchange between Bully Boy and Ed Schultz on Big Ed's Wednesday radio show. After diuscussing the problem of HomelessVets, from Bush War II, as well as other wars, O'Lielly finished up by saying that "...they may be out there but there aren't many of them." He even challenged Ed to find them and let him know about them. Welllll....

As the week went on had had numerous guests, from individual vets, to veterans' advocates, to a film director, to one of the biggest vet advocates of all, Jon Edwards, on Friday. Edwards talks about 200,000 homeless vets. I honestly don't know where he gets his number, but I have to say I'm skeptical about ANY number when it comes to an attempt to count the homeless. Not because of dishonestly, necessarily, but the logistics of getting an accurate count: They move... they have no homes... they hide from authority... and so on. 200,000? The way the rabid foxes attack, I would imagine that's a conservative (Damn it hurts to type that word in this context) estimate.

Of course one would imagine that O'Lielly being made more and more aware of the problem, naturally would come to the rescue and offer some real possibilities for solving the problem, no? Yup. He sure did:

Round 'em all up, and send 'em to live with Jon Edwards.

Gotta love it. Fits right in with every other Refuck mantra and agenda. When there's a problem that you have caused, blame the other guy and/or place the totally responsible for solving the problem through same totally unrealistic process on them. As if somehow this absolves you....?

And you manage to come up with 17% of the population that agrees and thinks the country is on the right track with Dubya's crime lords at the helm...? BTW...

The percentage of adult Americans who think the sun revolves around the earth? EIGHTEEN (18%) PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or roughly one in 5. Sharing a six-pack? One of those fuckers doesn't need theirs. Not sure how many believe it's flat, but some definitely do.

I wonder where Mike Fuckabee stands...?


update:

Supporting the troops Refuckyoucan style....?

He Apologizes; Holy Shit

Probably old news, but I just heard it last night from Randi Rhodes. I can't remember verbatim, but he ate crow big time, especially for his bull shit about Hillary -- who I do NOT endorse, BTW -- only getting elected Senator because people felt sorry for her because of Bill's skirt chasing. Before Randi played a recording of Tweety's apology, she went through a litany of episodes of Tweety's belittling of, as well as his gushing and fawning over, chicks on his show. From herself, to Hill to Liz Edwards to Laura Ingraham to, you name her. I don't remember Rachel Maddow, but then as cute as she is, she's openly gay (Does he realize he would just make her more gay? and not convert her?) I don't remember Ann Cuntner being mentioned either, but then she isn't really human, so... would she count?

Ok, but what really surprised me were the examples of man-love. His admiration of Commander Codpiece's aviator package; his admiration of Rudy 9u11iani; his admiration of Forrest Gump Fred Thompson (probably just wants his old lady; must drive him bugshit crazy that an alfalfa look-alike like Dennis Kucinich -- who I DO endorse -- has a much hotter wife.) Next time he's on with Olbermann I'll have to watch his eyes; see if he's trying to look through the desk. Anyway... two things:

I wonder how long it will take Tweety to go back on his word and slam/belittle Hillary or some other woman...?

I wonder if he'll do his fawning over some dude first..?

Why I would ask this, I don't know...

Do you think Dubya can tie his own ties? Does he wear clip ons? Does he keep a collection pre-tied and hanging in his closet?

Just asking

The Full Monty

Here's Pete Stark's full speech to the House from the other day.



"...The truth is the Preznit just likes to blow things up..."

When are people going to realize that Bush isn't just a rube or a moron, but that he's really cruel, petty and heartless.

h/t to Crooks and Liars for the trail to the video.

My Nominee for Best Person in the World is...

Democratic Representative Pete Stark of California. Why? After the Republicunts failed to come to their senses in sufficient numbers to over ride Dubya's veto of S-Chip, Stark slammed them for funding a war with money that doesn't exist, and sending kids to Iraq to get killed for the Preznit's amusement.

Shortly after this, house minority leader John Boner, demanded Stark apologize. In a "Fuck You" to Boner, Stark said he has no respect for either the commander-in-chief or the Chickenhawks in Congress who vote to deny kids health care.

So sue me if the quotes aren't accurate; this is getting a lot of play on the Teevee and I'm sure will be on the tubes by morning. The thing is, I hope Stark stands by his words, as he has so far. I agree with him whole-heartedly: I DO believe the Iraq war is a source of amusement for Dubya. I've referred to it as Bush's Little Weenie War, as in the thought of it gave him a stiffy.

Fuck everyone who thinks Petey crossed some line with his statements. You Go Guy. Give 'em hell.

If ANY of this Shit Surprises You...

You ARE a fucking idiot.

Blackwater shoots indiscriminately and slaughters innocent civilians.
Congress calls for investigation, has hearings and hears lies.
Blackwater CEO steals his nameplate afterwards.
Iraqi government... the SOVEREIGN Iraqi govt (cuzz we made 'em that way) demands Blackwater's removal from country.
Iraqi Govt's demands ignored.
Bush Shit white house says demands for contractor oversite would create "intolerable condition."

NYTimes exposes leak of secret memo concocted by Abu Gonzalez allowing torture.
Dana Perino repeats past lies about how "We don't torture."
Dubya repeats past lies about how "We don't torture."
Congress calls for hearings, bless their hearts.
Hearings will result in more lies and amnesia.

Bush vetos SCHIP bill.

h/t to Firestarter5 for this one:
Anderson's orders, and the orders of 1,161 other Minnesota guard members, were written for 729 days.

Had they been written for 730 days, just one day more, the soldiers would receive those benefits to pay for school.

"Which would be allowing the soldiers an extra $500 to $800 a month," Anderson said.

Make no mistake folks, NO mistake was made. This is how George "Congress needs to get me more Blackwater money" Bush supports the troops. This is the True Repug vision of the GI Bill:
Bill the poor fuckers for their gear, their ammo, the shit they fail to bring back - for any reason - and while we're at it let's bill them for the medical care they already have to wait far to long to even apply for much less get.

If you voted for GWBush, you voted for a fuckstain who wishes to do nothing but destroy this country. If you voted for him twice, you are yourself a fuckstain.

Fuck You Keith O

Just because I get pissed at the bushSeahawks', Matt Hasselback and Mac Strong for honoring a tyrannical murderous lying asswipe by giving him a jersey with his name on it, you nominate me and others like me for "Worst Person in the World?" Say what you want, Keith, They've proven themselves to be dumb jocks, and the organization's proven itself contemptible. You trying to jockey for another sportscasting job by defending them?

486 Pages of Lies

So the new compilation of Bush-shit, Dead Certain, has been out how long now? Obviously mis-titled. I vote for, Certainly Brain Dead. I mean how can a guy be so clueless and arrogant, as to allow someone to listen and record while he spews lie after lie. I've read a half dozen or so books on Bush, his lies and Iraq, and I just don't have it in me to read another one. At least not right now. Maybe when his pop-up/coloring book autobiography comes out, I'll read a used copy -- can't buy a new one and give him full royalties -- see how many pages I can read before puking, but until then, I'll pass.


Actually, I don't want to discredit the author, Robert Draper, and give anyone the idea that I believe that HE is the liar. No, Draper is merely the scribe. I'll leave it up to the Bush crime syndicate to do the discrediting of Draper, as they do with everyone who dares to cast Dubya in an unsaintly light.

How's that Bush Health Care Policy Working for You, Tony?

So Tony Snow needs to make more money, eh? His fight with colon cancer continues, but for some reason it's the money issue that's making all the press. Does Bush pays his cronies in peanuts, or what? I remember Tom Ridge had to resign from Homeland Stupidity, because he needed more money to put his kids through college. Does Tony have college age kids? Seriously, Why does he need more money?

OK, so maybe that's a dumb question. Hell, I want more money, and probably would even if I didn't have real reasons like a wife who had to quit work to look after her Mom who has dementia, with a freeloading recovering stepdaughter, and grandmonster, in the house, and Carpal Tunnel surgery on the horizon. I might want more money even if I had as much as the average Bush crony/contributor/spokesliar. Still My mind keeps coming back to the cancer issue, wondering what kind of insurance the bush White House offers its minions. Does it cover pre-existing conditions? Does it have caps? Copays? Deductibles? Or is the White House the model for Dub's proposed "health care savings accounts?"

Maybe he just wants to go wild before he dies. Traveling; partying; building a sex dungeon?

I Need a New Team

It was bad when Edgar Martinez gave Dubya an autographed bat, but maybe he thought Dub would hit himself with it. It was bad that we had to put up with Spencer Hawes with his SUV and his "God bless George Bush" bumper sticker, but he's just a dumb kid. Now last night we had Mack Strong and Matt Hasselback presenting Dub with a Seahawk jersey with his name on the back. Smooth move guys.

Honor an idiot that sends people, instead of dogs, to die for his profit and entertainment. Another example of why dumb jocks should never be roll models for kids.
