Via Think Progress, here’s one man speaking on behalf of two countries today at Dubya’s press conference during a “surprise” visit to Iraq:
According to news reports, the man shouted, “This is a farewell kiss, you dog!” as he threw his shoes at the Shrub-in-Chief.
From Reuters a week ago, via the New York Times: “President Bush in Lima, Peru, on Saturday for a meeting that is his last scheduled foreign trip.”
Could you imagine King George the Compassionate Conservative doing this?
Via AP:
In 2004, when asked about his flight-suit “Victory in Iraq” speech in front of the Mission Accomplished Banner, Shrubya said he had no regrets – “”Absolutely . . . You bet I’d do it again.” Now a lame duck, apparently the regrets over the banner speech have caught up with him. I thought Laura was even stoopider than Shrubya, but it turns out she is Marge to his Homer:
“I regret saying some things I shouldn’t have said,” Bush told CNN’s Heidi Collins when asked to reflect on his regrets over his two terms as president. “Like ‘dead or alive’ and ‘bring ‘em on.’ My wife reminded me that, hey, as president of the United States, be careful what you say.”
In one of the Shrubya/Kerry debates, didn’t Shrubya also issue some sort of blanket statement about how he didn’t regret anything he had done up until that point, or something like that?
Short of committing sepukku, there is very little that Shrubya could do that I would consider sufficient attonement for the hell he has unleashed on the world. Fuck you asshole, I hope you choke on a pretzel or drown in your pool.

Nope, no legacy peace treaty...just a stinking pile of crap!
A couple of days ago, I was joking about the Shrubya transition plan – wondering if he would leave a trashed WH and pop all the “Os” out of the computer keyboards. But on seeing Condi’s failure to make even an iota of progress on a ‘legacy’ peace deal in the cis-Jordan, I further reflected on the transition from Clinton to Shrubya, then contrasted it with the current transition. Clinton left Shrubya with:
* a balanced budget
* $2 billion budget surplus
* under $6 trillion national debt
* fewer Federal employees than his predecessor
* an economic boom
* high levels of unemployment
* the virtual elimination of Big Ag agricultural subsidies
* a 98% agreed-upon peace deal for the cis-Jordan involving S. Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, the occupied territories and Jerusalem with Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinians
* an anti-nuke deal with Little Kim in N. Korea
What presents have King George the Witless left for Obama?
* $400+ billion dollar budget deficit (not counting the cost of the Iraq war)
* $12 trillion national debt (doubled in 8 years)
* a surge in the number of federal employees and paid political appointees
* the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression
* 6.5%+ unemployment highest level in 14 years (since his daddy, King George the Clueless)
* unprecedented levels of corporate welfare Big Ag and Big Oil tax breaks and subsidies
* complete breakdown of cis-Jordan peace talks and 2nd intifada, massive unrest and hardship in the occupied territories and regional ‘cold war’
* Nuclear-armed Little Kim
* election of hard-liners in Iran, virtual elimination of moderate faction
* And to top all that off – a failed costly war in Iraq and a failing war in Afghanistan
And to remember King George the Witless and TurdBlossom’s biggest complaint was a few computer keyboards missing “Ws.” I never thought I’d miss Clinton.
Shrubya is promising full cooperation for a smooth transition for Obama’s team. I bet that means he and his staff are busy removing all the “Ws” from White House keyboards. Say…all he really needs to do is just remove one “Dubya” and the nation will be happier. Why do we need to wait until January? He could just give 2 weeks notice and Obama could start as early as the 3rd week of November! Now that would be something to be truly thankful for this Thanksgiving!
Repugs – great at spewing sewage, incapable of cleaning it up: Shrubya blew $100 million on Iraqi ‘Sewer to Nowhere.’ The Iraqis should call it the Abu Bush Sewage System.
A new site lets you submit your written or pictorial farewell to our President.
I think this one is my favorite so far.
