There were a bunch of Vietnamese people in front of my building yesterday. They were protesting against the Vietnamese Prime Minister, who was staying at the hotel across the street.

Also, my dentist is a young, smoking hot Vietnamese woman.

A Midnight Bout of Frenzied Concupiscence
Ah, sour grapes. The breakfast of so many today.

Hang On Voltaire
Keep beating those dead horses.

Yet another strange behavior pattern of the Common Neocon (republicanus nincompoopus) is his insistence that politics is actually a sporting event. Instead of recognizing that 51% of the 50% of the people who voted, voted for Bush, means that the country is deeply divided, and requires a uniter (not a divider), the Common Neocon exaults in his vicarious triumph. "In your face!", he shouts, as though his team just won the Superbowl. "Bush won the election! Game over! Losers quit whining!" The fact that the country still needs to function and overcome many obstacles seems to have escaped the Common Neocon. The appeal of schaudenfreude and the insecurity that comes with an inconsistent and self-serving ideology trump any civic ideals. Human dignity and mutual respect fall victim to schoolyard competitiveness and childish spite.

Sadly, this species is flourishing throughout the United States, particularly the South, where an environment of warm, damp, dark places provides fertile ground for the growth of this chattering pest.

What ever happened to that show on Comedy Central, "That's my Bush"? Did the secret service kill the cast or something?

Cool!
40 years from now, some formerly coked-up frat boy can go to Iraq and normalize relations with them. The circle will be complete.

I'll vouch for THAT headline! And check it for accuracy tomorrow.

Why is it that normalization with states much worse than Cuba OK, but any loosing of the embargo with Cuba is verboten?

He should take John Kerry with him.

That way Kerry could get another purple heart for the jet lag.

Unfair! His dental records clearly indicate that he served in Texas Natl. Guard with honor.

"So you whine when the "left" does it, but you defend when the "right" does it?
/Terry Schiavo
*eyes rolling*

Whine? Are you kidding me? I hope the left keeps it up. Because we all know how well criticism of Bush's national guard record worked in 2000 & 2004 (internet sarcasm). I just hope the democrats keep telling Americans hope stupid they are for voting for Bush. As for Schiavo I thought the Republicans were wrong on the issue to begin with.

Whoa, Bush is still president? You'd never know it with all those loud quacking noises coming from inside the white house...

If you like Bush then you haven't been paying attention."

Depends on your mindset when reading the initial statement there.

"Many demonstrators held up signs demanding greater religious freedom in the communist country."

Yeah, fly to Viet Nam and try that ya tree hugging ingrates!

I guess you lefties still get a chuckle out of the Air National Guard thing. The submitter's headline didn't get a rise out of me. It seemed poorly timed and irrelevant. I must be feeling what you guys feel when I hear about "Christmas in Cambodia."

Ha, ha. That never gets old. If only John Kerry was a real man -- he would have enrolled in the National Guard! Yeah! Macho, macho man!

Just imagine, George W. Bush, John Kerry *and* Val Kilmer, all oiling each other's butts before they fly another mission! HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE!



What a travesty of political rhetoric. For the last 6-7 years, Bush's spin machine has taken aim at legitimate veterans, and made it funny to crap on their war records, while casting a puppet chickenhawk whose daddy got him out of going to war, or even serving out his National Guard duty, as a "strong leader".

2005-06-22 10:25:17 AM


Blindly, George W. Bush's neoconservative supporters are unwilling to see the Iraq invasion as anything other than a rousing success. Furthermore, it is neither anti-American nor unpatriotic to demand honesty, credibility and fiscal reponsibility from our governing bodies.

Attention Bush supporters: Exit the gene pool immediately. Do not pass on your ignorance to your offspring.

Cuba has cigars, and we all know what happens when people get ahold of cigars. We wouldn't want the whole country to get impeached, would we?

MisterE "He should take John Kerry with him. That way Kerry could get another purple heart for the jet lag."

Since Bush missed out on Vietnam the first time, maybe Kerry could help show him around, take a nostalgic side trip into Cambodia, like the Christmas of 1968 excursion of his that is Seared, SEARED into his memory.

Meh.... This thread is nothing but a Bush bash. Nothing wrong with that, but it's all been said before.

I just hope they impeach.
 
2005-06-22 10:27:21 AM
That's My Bush only ran for 8 episodes in early 2001 and was cancelled because it cost Comedy Central a million bucks an episode. Didn't have anything to do with 9/11 or the evil, evil GOP.

And people need to learn what sour grapes means. The fox couldn't get up the wall to them, so he rationalized that they probably wouldn't have tasted very good anyway. No real connection here.

"sour grapes - denial of the desirability of something after one has found out that it cannot be reached or acquired"

Not relevant. Rush has been feeding you the wrong talking points.

It's okay, though, "whining", "we won, get over it", and "beating a dead horse" all still work. Because it's all a contest, don't you know.
