Insane Leader Chronicles: I AM THE PRESIDENT!

[hgc]

From Georgie Anne Geyer in The Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/viewpoints/stories/DN-geyer_31edi.ART.State.Edition1.4370227.html)...

Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated "I am the president!" He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of "our country's destiny."

Wonder how much truth there is to THAT one...

Seems gossipy. Is there any record of Bush expressing this sentiment?

(Not that I don't believe he's capable of it. The man is simply a nut job. I'd just like some confirmation on this one.)

In this day and age, everyone is waking around with a video camera built right into their mobile phone. Why don't they use them?!?

Obviously it's not proven. But color me a believer. If you watch his public performances at press conferences, you get pretty much the same thing -- just slightly less dramatic.

[President Bush]

When a recent visitor asked him what assurance he could give about his successor in 2009, President Bush replied, "we'll fix it so he'll be locked in." The visitor left perplexed and wondered whether that might mean the U.S. would be in a wider war in the region by then. In any event, it didn't sound like twilight time for Mr. Bush.

A Texan friend of longstanding called on him recently and confided to his Washington hosts that Mr. Bush had said three times, bringing a clenched fist to his chest, "I'm the president." Reminding visiting political opponents of this would be normal, but the close friend said he was a taken aback a bit as he had never before seen Mr. Bush in this mode.

If, as according to Socrates, all that human beings can actually know is their own ignorance, then I am a cognoscenti.

If you watch his public performances at press conferences, you get pretty much the same thing -- just slightly less dramatic.I've long considered his public performances to be nothing more than repeating out load whatever he hears in his bud-earpiece, while being prompted from the next room. The dramatic pauses while staring into the middle distance are simply listening to the next sentence arriving. And the zooming mistakes and gaffes he comes out with can be explained by poor radio reception!

When I called him a sock-puppet years ago, I meant it quite literally! He may be intelligent, but he's OH SO DUMB!

[President Bush]

BUSH: You know, it's interesting, you said that one of the things that we love doing is to invite our buddies up from Texas. And I think about the time we had Jones, Procter and Selee [sic]. These are guys we grew up with in Midland, Texas. They are down to earth, you know, they have no agenda, except being with their friends Laura and George.

VARGAS: They call you George?


BUSH: No, they call me Mr. President.


VARGAS: I was going to say...


BUSH: They probably don't want to call me Mr. President, but they do call me Mr. President.

Of course. Just like your completely unsupported belief that Cheney was drunk when he shot the guy. You'll believe what you wish to be true, evidence or not.

I have plenty of evidence that Bush is a psycho, based on the aforementioned press conferences and other public utterances. Like I said, the incident described in this story is not significantly different. And Cheney, multiple times stopped for DUI, was drunker 'n Cooter Brown when he shot some old lickspittle Texas lawyer in the face at close range just for gettin' in his way, Pardner. You'll deny what you want to deny because you wish it not to be true, evidence or not. Do you have something to say the dangerously unhinged President of the USA, or is whining about me so much more interesting?

Not to worry folks. The adults (Democrats) are in charge of congress now and they will solve these problems. Mark my word. They have made stopping the war a priority and you can be damn sure they are not going to make any excuses for failure. Pelosi and others have taken over foreign policy concerns and have been meeting with former allies and they are fixing things up likety split. On top of that, France has a new president who will put dubya in his place so I think our "long national nightmare" is over.

Oh, and if that were not enough, Cindy Sheehan (you remember her, the dear friend of Hugo Chavez) sends her warmest regards.

[Magyar]

you know, a question ac cured to me that I don't remember being addressed.

Is there a history of Bush making these kinds of gaffs in speeches when he was Govt. or when he ran the baseball team or is this something new since he became pres?

Nothing to see here, folks. Just a crazy-ass president.

Look! Over there, I spotted a Pelosi!
Look! Was that a France? Goodness gracious!
I can't believe my luck. Cindy Sheehan is in the news!
Wow! Everyone I time I close my eyes, visions of Chavez fill my mind!

Yes. Few people noticed though, since he was in a less prominent position.

You are quite correct in your typo, Zep. He is a "load". :) :)
