He talked exactly what I wanted to hear...........

Hehe, that's about the only funny thing Andy Dick has ever done!!!
Nice post! :)

[bhipsley]

Yea it was alright. So stupid you had to laugh. Anyone else notice the British national anthem at the end :confused:

[Fatman]

The yanks ripped the tunes and changed the words to these songs. They weren't too happy with people knowing the tunes during the war of insurrection or their war of independence.
Pure gold though, the guy is painful to watch. And this people is the leader of the free world. God help us all.

Ironically we were talking about this the other day at work (we listen to talkback during lunch) and the overall general consensus was Australian politicians are much better public speakers than American politicians.

EDIT: Actually it degenerated into a discussion on how John Howard was much more intelligent than the supposed "leader of the free world".

Yeah, but that comparrison is like giving Gold to last and Silver to second last at the Olympics........

We want a race to the top, not a race to the bottom!

I must admit, very funny but at the same time, this man is the President of the United States. Does that make anyone else cringe? Here is a man with immense responsibility that can't string a proper sentence together.
I can just see the scene at the Bush's ranch in Texas at christmas, "look what daddy got you son, the presidency!"
" Oh gee dad, thats great but I wanted some more colouring books."
How did we ever get to this point, I suppose we can all take comfort in the fact that George is not making any of the decisions that will affect us. If you look at him closely you can see the handle up his backside and the strings holding him up. The man is a marionette.


I think it's time to have a drink and forget about dubya for a while. Beer eases the pain.

I'm tipping you'll withdraw this statement upon further thought.

I'm doin the Absolut thang tonight :)

[Fatman]

Doubtful, I'm in an irrational state of mind and wont be swayed. What I meant by that statement is that he isn't making the decisions. The decisions made are unlikely to be his alone. The consequences of these decisions will certainly affect us. Am I making sense? I'm not trying to make out that there is a great conspiracy, not the illuminati or the masons.
Anyway I may have to revisit this when I'm not under the influence of alcohol, ignorance and paranoia.;)

[johnny]

No, you're making good sense, yet I still disagree with you. I believe that yes, Bush is heavily influenced by those who surround him. But I do believe that there is still an element of autonomy/agency with him. Even if you wnat to argue that his own incapacity is his deciding factor in his policy, he still has quite an influence upon it. I don't believe he is just a parrot.

I'm pissed too, but I stand by my opinion :p

[Fatman]

I will defend to the death, the right of a drunk man to argue irrationally.:D

I see your point and I stand corrected, I just find it exceedingly difficult to believe that a man who seems so inept has anything to contribute. Even worse that people listen to him.

Glenfiddich and Young's 'Old Nick' have much to do with my state.:o

I drink with young. green and eager politics students, I'm well versed in drunken defenses of irrational convictions...en guarde!

The only thing that Bush has, and that he activelly contributes, IS his ineptitude!
I'm not bothered to post another thesis, but search under "democratic peace theory" (Farkin seach) and "PNAC" (Google search, go to Statement OF PRincipals, read it and check out the signatories bellow) and you will basically have the full picture of American/Bush foreign policy and an accurate indicater of those who influence this policy.

The people who listen to him? The result of an insulated life protected by hegemony.

I'll give you an American view. We all knew Bush wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed when he was running for office back in 2000. To be honest, if Florida didn't screw up the election with their voting process, Bush wouldn't have ever been elected president. It was only the second time in American history where a candidate lost the popular vote, but won the election by winning the electorial college vote--which was Florida.

On a personal note, I actually felt sorry for Bush when I saw that speech. That was really bad...it was a "Texas" saying and he couldn't even get it right. Bush Jr. was just lucky that he was born into a powerfull family...other wise..."do you want fries with that?'

[Fatman]

I'm not trying to start an international incident here. I am just curious if there are any Bush supporters out there. If so I think we'd all like a 'please explain'.
If you voted for him and love him, why?
It's interesting to see all points of view, travelling around the world the impressions you get of the same people are quite striking. And coming from Oz to places that have no concept of Australian politics seems strange. But for example, when I went to Sweden I had no idea about their politics. So I'm guilty of being insular and ignorant.
I really should depart from this forum as I lack the information and inclination to continue.

I am not a Bush supporter, but I can see some reason for people to like him, and really follow his ideas. He is something like a grown up Pauline Hanson, in that his "views" on terror, protecting America, pro-America WILL strike a chord with many many red-neck yokels. Not even yokels necessarily, but he strikes that patriotic string particularly well.

I and others here see through him in a heartbeat, but he clearly rings a bell with many yanks.

Not too big of a Bush fan here. Personally, he's too much of a religious freak for my taste...

[nitwit]

Funny but very sad indeed. Kinda makes me have a little sympathy for the spoilt little brat....nah....rot in hell Mr Bush jnr.
