And John McCain skipped right over the cliff with Bush in saying "Yeah yeah, me too!" Good job, Guy Whose Only Chance of Winning Hinges on Being Different from Bush.

Even I'm surprised by the level of stupidity of Bush this time

And I think he needs help tying his shoes.

That's totally not fair. The Democrats will appease ANYONE.

This paragraph from TFA absolutely nails it:

Whether or not Dubya's history lesson was, indeed, "malarkey," the Dems are smart to treat it like a big, shiny gift from Santa Claus. As the New Republic's Christopher Orr puts it, "Bush attacking Obama, and Obama counter-attacking Bush, while John McCain sits on the sidelines, is a disastrous dynamic for the GOP. The more Obama can frame this race as him vs. the most unpopular president in modern history, the easier a time he'll have in the fall." Before, Obama had to tie McCain to Bush--often a reach, seeing the Arizona senator has broken with the administration on issues like global warming and even Iraq strategy--to accomplish this task. But now that Bush has entered the ring himself, Obama can finally fight the opponent he's been itching to fight all along.

And Dubya is too farking arrogant to STFU. He's obsessed with everyone saying he was right after all.

This is going to be fun.

Its funny cause its tru...ly gonna be hilarious when it becomes painfully obvious this November how the dumbfarks you've supported the last 8 years completely destroyed your party.

Did I miss anything?

I don't know if anyone has noticed it yet, but George W. Bush is kind of an a55hole.

A stupid a55hole.

Keep talking, George,
Keep nodding, John.

Iran annexed Austria? Look out Czechoslovakia! Obama won't help you! And forget Poland.

This is the same Bush who said Japan has "always" been a friend to the USA.

stevecody: This is the same Bush who said Japan has "always" been a friend to the USA.

Pfft, what's wrong with that statement? Haven't they always sent us cool little toys to keep us distracted?

Like submarines and kamikazes?

You must have been rich growing up, I never got a submarine, I only got a little radio.

Pfft, what's wrong with that statement?

"What did he DO!" ranks right up there with "THERE'S NO MORE MONEY TOMORROW!" for me personally.

Heh McCain said today that Reagan never negotiated with Iran.
Joe Lieberman needs to whisper in his ear again. Remind him of Ollie North and the Guns for Hostages deal they worked out behind everyone's backs.

Negotiations with others never work. Thats why we had that nuclear war in 1962 after the Soviets put missiles in Cuba.


"So let us begin anew - remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."

I can't stand Matthews, but that video is A-W-E-S-O-M-E

The run-up to the general election is going to be filled with stuff like that. It is going to be hilarious. The schadenfreude will be very satisfying.

SilentStrider: "So let us begin anew - remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."

Has to be stated again.

mofroe: I can't stand Matthews, but that video is A-W-E-S-O-M-E

Yeah, Matthews is a douche, but there happened to be someone even douchier on at that particular moment.

Not a big fan of Matthews, A+ to Matthews for slicing and dicing that moron as he should've been.

I mean, it's TOUGH to make Mark Green look intelligent, but that guy turned the trick.

Wow. Just...wow.

Today George Bush showed us his is the equivalent of an internet troll. He Godwinned the discussion of foreign policy.
That's the last resort of the loser in a debate.

HE WAS AN APPEASER!

burndtdan: HE WAS AN APPEASER!

Yeah but what about Prescott Bush? He should have asked him about that :P

STFU and GBTW on your ranch Bushiathis asshole is trying shiatcan McCain again.

Goddamn filters...

muck4doo: STFU and GBTW on your ranch Bushiathis asshole is trying shiatcan McCain again.

Bush, please STFU and do not GBTW. You've done enough already. Take a vacation for the rest of your term. You've earned it.

Prescott wasn't a NAZI appeaser...

He was a collaborator.
/and possibly a traitor^.

As a TPM reader points out negotiation != appeasement.

I never heard of him either. I thought it was going to be this guy at first:



I had no idea it could be worse.

i'm guessing that after that piss-poor performance, hannity will strip him of his blowhard merit badge and we won't be seeing him on any national shows for a while.

FlashHarry: i'm guessing that after that piss-poor performance, hannity will strip him of his blowhard merit badge and we won't be seeing him on any national shows for a while.

He'll probably get a promotion for not admitting he was wrong and still arguing even when Matthews ended the segment.

it was textbook wingnut:

spouting talking points without any actual knowledge to back them up? check.
shouting to cover up lack of said knowledge and to prevent rejoinder? check.
refusing to admit you've been totally pwned on national television? check.

You forgot shouting over the other people as they were talking. Also a check.

It must be embarrassing to be a televised wingnut sometimes. Well, it would be if they understood reality in any sense.

FlashHarry: spouting talking points without any actual knowledge to back them up? check.

But, he's an appeaser

shouting to cover up lack of said knowledge and to prevent rejoinder? check.

Um, appeasement, hello

refusing to admit you've been totally pwned on national television? check.

DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME, HE IS AN APPEASER!!!

In grad school, I had the glorious duty to grade people on essays and exams covering WWII - including the run up to- and the aftermath of-.

Mr. James gets an F.

Ah yes, the "Middle East is just like WWII Europe" meme. Bush must read Fark.

If I were up for trolling tonight, I'd say something about how Teh Jooooos were the root cause of both situations. And this time Israel is the one building the prison walls.

That usually sets off the flames quite nicely.

/oh wait....

HansensDisease: Teh Jooooos

stevecody: This is the same Bush who said Japan has "always" been a friend to the USA.

This is actually one of the gaffs he as made that I will chuckle at and call an honest mistake. His original quote was something like, "Japan and the United States have enjoyed a century and a half of peace..."

I'm actually giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one. I'm pretty sure he meant to say, "Japan and the United States have enjoyed half a century of peace..." and his brain's (heh) speech center did it's usually thing and crossed a few wires.

Mind you, I am not defending him. I think he's an asshole, and seeing justice served would be air-dropping him into the center of Iraq with nothing but a canteen and a pocket knife on 20 Jan. 2009. However, this little gaff I think actually was an honest mistake... perhaps one of the very few he has made.
