Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States
Comments: 19
Check this guy out. What a statesman. Between Bush and Dick “Go fuck yourself” Cheney, I’d say America’s in good hands, wouldn’t you? Freedom (not to mention 380 tons of stolen explosives) is on the march.
I wish all of my American friends and the people of the United States the very best of luck on Tuesday.

Heh, I saw that the other day on Metafilter.
It beggers belief that half of America (if you are to believe the polls) thinks that this inept politician is even remotely qualified to "run" the country. I wouldn't trust him to make me a sandwich.
This is the one and only chance the good folk of the big ole US of A have to regain any respect as a nation. Oh, dear - have I made this an anti-bush post? or did you do that already…

He looks ready to pick his nose…
or he's telling you what he thinks of the American voter…

There was a line from an eighties UK comedy show called "Not The 9o'clock News" where an apt line was used.
"I wouldn't trust him to sit on the toilet the right way round."

The sad thing is, this video might actually persuade some people to vote for him. Think about it.

He's a very dangerous and awful person, no doubt about it but if he gets elected (notice, I did not say "re-") on Tuesday I have seen the problem and it is us, not him.
There is a simple solution to this jerk: vote him out of office. If you don't vote or vote for Nader, you get him back.
The video looks like it was shot during the time he was Governor of Texas, while he was busy killing more people on Texas death row than any governor in history and while he was busy killing education in the state and creating the largest deficit in Texas state history.
He did all of this yet still got all the votes he got in 2000.
The problem is not this guy folks, the problem is idiot American who voted for him and will undoubtedly do it again.
Sorry Jeremy, I'm mad as hell that my country is going down the toilet for so many reason other than Bush (who is also leading the way).

I guess you missed the Kerry Playboy interview. ;-)

I'll be working at my voting precinct on Tuesday. We're all on pins and needles here. It will be close.
The real losers are the American people. Between the misinformation, angry rhetoric, and dirty tricks, it's hard to feel hopeful about the direction this country's going.

If Dubiya wins, I'm moving to Japan.
And if it comes to that, can I crash at your place 'til I get settled in? :-)

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Well, we're screwed, and I concur, the problem is with the American people that think being offensive in more ways that one will bring peace.
There is something very wrong with the world when a person that should have lost to a clown in a landslide actually becomes president twice.

I agree that the problem is the electorate, not Bush. The American electorate was presented with the choice of either an incumbent President or a twee Boston brahmin in a barn jacket who could not campaign on a platform that resonated with the majority. Remember "selected, not elected?" Where are those people now?
College-educated married professionals voted for Bush. A lot of them voted for Bush. Kerry and his crew insinuated that all those Southerners, Mountain staters, and Westerners were just a bunch of ignorant, Bible-thumping hicks. And you people seriously wonder why Kerry lost so badly? Wake up and smell the Zinfandel.
Bush accumulated more votes than any other candidate in history. And he did it even after enormous amounts of cash were spent vilifing him as an imbecile, a coke-snorting fiend, an alcoholic, a deserter, a puppet of Haliburton, a puppet of Rove, a puppet of Cheney, a puppet of Israel, Hitler incarnate, a transmitter-wearer, a liar, and a warmonger. And he still won. But you don't think this is a mandate, or at least an indicator of how out of touch the DNC is with the American electorate. You're not even willing to consider it for a moment. M'kay.
You completely underestimated us. You underestimated our intelligence, our dedication, and our organisation. Your candidate blew us off. Bush should have been a sitting duck in this election. Instead you fielded a candidate who represented the interests of the 20% hard Left of your party. Your candidate and many of his loser followers in the House and Senate supported partial birth abortion and homosexual marriage, both issues that offend many sensitive people regardless of their personal faith. African-American evangelicals? Trad Dem Catholics? You said "screw you" to that bloc of voters, and you paid the price.
You caved in to moonbats like Michael Moore, who is the epitome of the Ugly American: a fat, McDonald's-chowing, fanny-pack wearing turd. You allowed Ted Kennedy and Ashton Kutcher (!) to stump for your guy. And you're outraged that you lost. I'm supposed to have sympathy for that shit?
As Benedick from _Much Ado About Nothing_ would say, examine you conscience. You have a lot of examining to do in the next four years, when I hope you get your

Daniel - you need to chill out. Bush is office for another four years, let's see if he'll clean up the mess he created (such as war for oil, more unemployment, Every Child Left Behind Act, and hopefully, once again, Bin Ladin doesn't attack again based on the fact that we have Bush in office again.) You see, it's the self-righteousness, the "I am God" syndrom, the fact that you think everyone have to act according to YOUR way, that I have distaste for EXTREME right Republicans. Seriously, who the F**K are you to tell me what to do! It's called freedom, it's called rights, it's what America's built upon. So stop preaching and forcing others to swallow your backwards ideaology.

I'm getting really tired of the "clean up your own mess" excuse I've been seeing around the past few days. The point was not to choose between two scum bags while somehow feeling that you belong to one group or another. The point was to fire someone who couldn't do his job right. If the next one can't do it either, fire him too. The point was to send a message to the government: you can't do what you want without paying attention to the people's will, or you get fired. The point was to show the whole World that the American people didn't agree with its government policies.
Think about this very simple fact: only an American would have voted for Bush - no one in the World would have done that. What's your conclusion? "Fuck the whole World"? Or do you start thinking, if they all agree, maybe something funky's going on…
But no… people just loooooove to be part of a group, a team, a club, etc… They watch elections like they watch baseball, only difference is they actually know much more about the later…
And how can anyone dare calling the massacre of innocent civilians for power and money a "mess"? How much disrespect can you manage to stuff in one single sentence to help you conveniently dedramatize a catastrophic situation and go on with your daily shopping?
I am SO sick and tired of witnessing people stupidity and arrogance causing the death of countless others.
It's probably too late now, something terrible is going to happen…

Daniel, you do know that Kerry got the second most votes in history right? Does that make Kerry better than Washington or something?
Yes, the dems dug their own grave by trying to sound indignantly righteous instead of actually reaching out to people and listening. There is no doubt.
It is, however, a fact that many people voted based in issues that have no business on the Federal level of government. Being a republican you should understand that. Bush managed to make a win off issues he should have no power over, and I think this is embarrassing.
And please, don't accuse people of looking down on other Americans in such a hypoctritcal fashion. Last time I checked, those who voted for Kerry were US citizens too.
I won't post again because I feel bad for hijacking the comments. =/

Nearly the first thing he did after the election was to put the Alaskan Wilderness and the Rocky Mountains back on the table for oil drilling.
Yeah, the war in Iraq isn't about oil.
Bushit.
