Obviously, our democracy is in good hands.I’m sure that when citizens around the world catch a glimpse of that exchange, they’ll realize that freedom is on the march!
What the hell was that?
So everyone in the SAIS school at Hopkins must be scratching their heads right now (and also thinking “what was I thinking for coming to the school that Wolfowitz used to head…”)
Pres. Fredo is detached, delusional and dangerous.
(I think I’m paraphrasing Nancy Pelosi)
Further evidence that BushBot doesn’t have a clue what is going on is not really news, is it? Next question?
Jesus Fucking Christ on a minibike.
President Horschack.
What a damn idiot.
I’m a delegater. And by that, I mean, I delegate.
The “CEO President” at work….
“I tell ya, I don’t get no respect. I told the cab driver, Take me where there’s some action, he took me to my house…!”
Holy crap. He’s laughing, as if it’s acceptable to be so clueless. He really, really doesn’t deserve to own this country any longer.
Not only is the pResident not wearing any clothes,
he’s not wearing any brain either!
Even Ozzie Osborne speaks better than Bush!
Which reminds me, doesn’t Bush sound like
he’s strung out on drugs?
I leave you with my favorite quote of Dubya
as imitated by Jon Stewart:
“Heh! Heh! Heh!”
He damn well knows the answer, there is no law for U.S. contractors!
That’s right! No law for any of them. They are just like diplomats. They get complete immunity!
They can walk right up to any Iraqi, kill them in cold blood in front of witnesses, and by law passed by our Congress, walk away and not go to jail. Then they can kill again!
Why has no one ever coached this embarrassment to stand up straight?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you President Beavis.
Pres. Fredo is detached, delusional and dangerous.
(I think I’m paraphrasing Nancy Pelosi)
Not up on the issues, I guess. Why would we expect someone as low on the totem pole to know anything like the question asked. Non-curious George just doesn’t have any clue what’s going on. Hence, Abu “We do not torture” Ghraib.
Even after five years, it’s still pains me to believe that this @#$%^&! clown is the acknowledged leader of the free world. Makes me wish I wasn’t a card carrying member of the reality based community. Excuse me while I go injest a whole page of blotter acid…
…and for more bang-your-head-against-the-wall fun, check this out:

Actually Kevin, the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdication Act brings DOD contractors outside of the US within the jurisdiction of US courts. They do not, as it turns out, have complete immunity (neither, one might add, do all diplomats). Anyway, Bush did not know this law and essentially said as much. In this regard at least, he was more intelligent than you in that you have loudly proclaimed to know something that, it turns out, was completely untrue.
You can learn about the law here:

I noticed the panting like a dog.
But did everyone also notice that cute head tilting like a dog?
Don’t you just want to go up and pet him on the top of his head the way he pets the heads of bald men?

Oh crap. He’s never even heard of the problem.
/actually, to him, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Hacksaw,
I meant complete diplomatic immunity.
Bush does know the law, he just won’t admit the truth for political reasons.
Since you like insults, this one is great:
If you are defending Bush, then In this regard at least, I am more intelligent than you in that you have loudly proclaimed to defend a pResident that, it turns out, was and is completely untrue in just about everything he says, including the CNN clip.
Holy crap Dmac… 20 comments? Who linked to you?
President Beavis is right.
You know, this does bring to mind an idea. The President is like a bad CEO reporting to a disinterested board–every time they ask him a substantive question, he punts it (uh, accounting is looking into that…) and hopes that they don’t remember to ask him again at the next board meeting. And it works for the President because every time he goes out in public, there’s a new audience, so he can use the same runaround again.
I think it’s time for the Board to start holding him accountable.
Pick one or two questions he doesn’t want to deal with–something he should have done but has not. Coming up with a way to enforce the law on contractors is a good one, another good one would be a Katrina-labor issue–things that everyone agrees are politically difficult, but which are substantively important to get resolved.
I think the key is to say, “you’ve been asked about this before–what have you done since the last time you were asked this question?” If the questioner could work in the word “accountability moment,” that would be great.
‘He damn well knows the answer’ Actually back, hacksaw, I remember reading a presidential directive that specifically holds contractors harmless for whatever they do in iraq. I’m searching around the web for it -I’ll post it when I find it.
He doesnt even hide the fact he is clueless, and even makes fun of himself. I’m gonna go all Dr Bill Frist here and diagnose him from this video Terry Schiavo style as being clinically depressed, paranoid/schizophrenia, addictive personality disorder, Grandiose Delusional type.
He looks like he’s depressed. He sounds a little medicated. Maybe he needs to be wormed. I’m not a veteranarian or else I’d diagnose him properly based on this video.
was the slurring a video/audio malfunction, or did he really sound like that? Under the influence of something?
yes, he is an idiot, as we all know by now. but more sickening is the sychophantic laugher of the audience. when will they stop finding this asshole cute? Enablers bathing in the banality of evil - U.S.A! U.S.A.!
Kevin - So you think Bush knew there was a law governing DOD contractors in Iraq but elected not to say anything about it in response to the woman’s question? What earthly reason would he have to do that?
The fact of the matter is that you have of course offered no evidence of any sort that Bush knows about this law and choose not to discuss it for some also undefined political reasons. I should also note that your other claim regarding diplomatic immunity doesn’t make any sense either. Contractors obviously do not have diplomatic immunity since, well, they aren’t diplomats.
CAS - I suspect what you are thinking of is limited immunity given to private security contractors executing their duties in Iraq. In other words, if a private security contractor shoots someone while protecting a convoy, they may not be prosecuted. But if some regular contractor, as per Kevin’s example, walks up to some random Iraqi and shoots him in the head then that contractor can be prosecuted under this law.
Right after the clip, Bush vertured out into the audience and humped that young woman’s leg.
Hey hacksaw, you fucking prick.
Bush lied this Country into war and only a zombie scumbags like yourself “choose not to discuss it for some also undefined political reasons.”
How long before people start to realize he’s nuts?
Typically the head leaning is someone feeding him a line to use in his answer in his earpiece.
Is this the best they can come up with?
There was a big controversy about this earlier where there was apparent immunity for the contractors over there. I think it came up again on the videos of mercenaries just randomly shooting Iraqi cars on the streets.
Right after the clip Bush lifted his leg and leaked.
“That’s… how I work…”
And it’s HARD work!
President Beavis???? I think President Butthead is more like it…..
New White House tactic: “Let Bush Be Bush”
LOL!
Rather than some brilliant strategery here, I think Occam’s Razor would indicate that the straighforward conclusion is the correct on: G.W. Bush is a moron, as “sharp as marbles”.
I didn’t watch it. Actually, I can’t. I couldn’t even watch Michael Moore’s film cause I can’t stand to look at his face.
I know he’s nuts. I don’t need any refresher courses.
Jesus, maybe the whole point of this administration is to bring about a religous revival, I’ve never prayed as much as I have in the last 6 years…who’s going to tell him when to nuke Iran? ITMFA, ITMFA, ITMFA, ITMFA…
Michael Moore won the Palm D’Or.
He’s not nuts, dude.
YOU are.
Actually you have to feel somewhat sad for him. I mean, Clinton was a slimy weasel you could actually hate. You can’t really hate Bush because most of the time you are amazed at the extent of his retardation. LOL!
June 24, 2004
WASHINGTON – The Bush Administration announced today that they plan to extend immunity for U.S. contractors in Iraq past the June 30 handover of sovereignty. This extension would continue our policy of exempting private contractors from Iraqi law. Some would still be bound by U.S. law, but because of a legal loophole many contractors would face no accountability for criminal actions. According to the Washington Post, immunity for U.S. personnel abroad is “among the most contentious in the Islamic world, where it has galvanized public opinion against the United States.”

He reminds me here of a very bad late-night TV host, bombing (sorry) in the opening monologue.
My gosh– I did mental health case management for kids for a few years. I recognize that look, the look of someone who is feeling really really good– high on a cocktail of anti-depressants, speed and diet pills. Oh yes, the guy is so tickled by his own idicocy, he’s about to come just standing there in front of all those straight people, about to shoot his wad, feeling so darn good about himself. Disgusting.
mparker - way to engage intellectually.
owlbear1 - as I said earlier, the MEJA law originally applied only to DOD contractors. However, I would hasten to add that that law was expanded to include non-DOD contractors working for the federal government in places such as Iraq as part of the FY2005 defense authorization act. In other words, the legal loophole your 2004 article talks about was closed later on that year.
You see, when he doesn’t have that tell-tale “bulge in the back”, the pathetic moron has to rely upon native intelligence to construct an answer to any question…and this is what native intelligence gets you. As preznit, he makes a second-rate stand-up comedian look positively erudite.
I would say he was acting like a guy who found the questioner so cute he didn’t mind she asked him a question he had no idea how to answer.
Had he been a female he would have been giggling and maybe touching hair or flipping it.
I’ve warned you moonbats before not to be disrespectful of the Commander. Any other comments like this and you will be banned from LGF.
Newtie baby, Bill Clinton retired with some of the highest approval ratings of any 2-term president. He was widely regarded as a very successful president, and still is (even more so now with the contrast of Bush). And he managed this economic and foreign policy success despite having to deal with most of his term with an oppositional congress and a rabid press. (Bush has managed to fail miserably even with a loyal Congress and a craven press.) His approval rating has gone from high to higher since his retirement. When he came to my red-city/red-state to speak, thousands of people waited in line to hear him.
So I’m not sure who it is you’re talking about (besides yourself and the Republican base) who “actually hated” Clinton. Most of us– the American people that is– liked the guy and would elect him again if we could. (Just check the polls.) Even your namesake, the original Newt Gingrich, came off some joint appearance muttering how he couldn’t help but like Clinton… “He seduced me,” I think is what he said. (I don’t think he meant literally. :)
Face it. Clinton is and was quite popular, except with a vocal and extra-vocal minority– and the minority that hates Clinton seems to love Bush. No accounting for taste, huh? I do think it’ll be interesting seeing what you talk about– people who don’t like either of them. Presumably that means success and failure are irrelevant to those people’s valuation. Fortunately, most Americans do prefer a president who gets the right things done the right way, and those of us who fondly remember a burgeoning economy, a respectful world, and jobs aplenty, think Clinton did that just fine.
Dictator Bush is the most dangerous international terrorist on earth. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove need to be tried for treason.

That is scary. He can’t stop laughing. It’s not a funny situation at all. He just keeps laughing. Har-de-har. It’s scary. This is our president, and he can’t discuss a serious matter without laughing compulsively.
Well, forget about “discussing”. He’s not doing that. “I picked up the phone and said…” He never once even peripherally addresses the issue. Just as well, I guess. If he’s going to laugh and laugh, best not have him laughing when he tells us that military contractors can kill at will and it’s okay with him.
I just wish HE were a joke.
Tom3, you need to re-read dude’s post and figure out who the word “he” is referring to in the context of the first two sentences.
This is shameful. The President of the United States of America acting like he is President of a high school student council.
As if there was any question that this man is incapable of leading the country
What an irrelavant question. It’s like asking a CEO what type of badge do contractors wear at a plant that is over seas. Instead of bull sh*ting and offering a lie, Bush comes up with an honest answer.
god help us all
How many assumptions did this first year student make in her question? This has got to be the worst attempt at ” let me ask a stupid entrapment question” ever. By the time she was done making assumtions about the situation in a country she probably couldn’t locate on a map and asking the question, any normal person would be bored to confusion. This was not a question for the leader of the free world but rather a question she should be asking in class.
My Good God ,three more years of this REPUBLICAN Pres.
Will there be a GOOD OLD USA. after BUSH THE REPUBLICAN.????
Should there be a Republican Party In the coming years ????
I guess every one is to blame that voted for a Republican Congress.. They are going to suffer along with the rest of
people in the USA & the World..
To Hacksaw and the LGF Kool-aid drinkers,
I and others who have commented on this blog remember the law, or rather lack of law for the contractors in Iraq. Why can’t Bush? It’s his job to know what the hell is going on in Iraq, in his administration, and in Congress.
Either he is lying, or if he forgot, then he is incompetent. I’ll let you decide on the answer.
Personally, I think he is lying because it’s just too important to forget.
But if he forgot, then it’s because chronic, long term alcohol and drug abuse does that to a person.
Either way, it’s time for Bush AND dick Cheney (and I do mean dick!) to go.
Impeachment countdown: +/- 300 days!
