He essentially brought a nuclear bomb into the pope's home because in the event of trouble he didnt want to wait three minutes to kill everyone. Bush, you sick fucking bastard.

i'm with bush on this one... he's going to get us all killed. we know that. i accept that...

...it's the waiting i can't stand.

[Jane Sherwood]

We need to get him out of the White House. Oh, why oh why do we have to wait until November for elections? For all we know he could turn us all into "crispy critters" by the end of the month!


Let's all cross our fingers and hope that a certain retarded someone has an unpleasant encounter with a sniper.

[Mist]

But Janey, that'd spoil the anticipation and excitement and depression.

Besides, will it really matter? Hopefully, people will have gotten brains this time around. Bush won due to the rigging of the recount and such, but there should have been no cause for a recount. Bush should have lost all the votes except his close friends, and even they should've known better since they know him (does he have any?). It's easy to say now, blah blah. People've seen what he's done, there is no excuse this time. However, I'm almost inclined to think that Bush being in office is at least marginally good since he's a handicap on Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the others as Jm pointed out. I don't condone anything that's happened since he's gone into office, but I'm trying to find the bright side...there HAS to be one somewhere...

Good points? About Bush? Hmmm...

...Well, there was that show by Trey Parker and Matt Stone on Comedy Central called That's My Bush!, but there were only a few episodes to that, though. Shame.

[Mist]

I never saw that show, but it'd have to be pretty flipping hilarious if it's supposed to balance out the rest of the things Bush has done. There must be more...

How about the fact that if we didn't live on Earth, and if we didn't care at all about humanity, this'd be his antics'd be pretty hilarious... maybe... Ok. New scenario, we have nearly no brain capacity and find everything to be exceedingly funny, we don't live on Earth, we don't care about humanity, and we think that disasters are especially funny... Then Bush might be good....right? maybe?

[Reader]

Football-shaped, eh?
I can see the secret service men getting all impatient. SSG1 guy is like "Hey SSG2! Catch the football." SSG2 is like "A-hyuk, ok!!" SSG1 tosses it towards a running SSG2, he misses the catch, the destruction of the Earth ensues.

[Jane Sherwood]

Actually, it was only on for a while in 2001. It doesn't come anywhere close to balancing out the scales.


Funny show, though...

I really think that the only balancing force in this administration is Colin Powell and he's a pretty shadey fellow himself. He was involved in the My Lai massacre cover up but he at least fought in the military and understands that war is not fun. I really think it should be a requirement that a secretary of defense know something about war. I'd imagine that a whitehouse council meeting goes like this:

Bush: Ladadada -tries to lick the electrical socket lollypop-

Powell: BAD! Go lay down!

Rumsfeld: So like I said we should go back into Vietnam after our great victory over Iraq and Afganistan.

Powell:... Ummm I really don't think that's a great idea...

Rumsfeld: Nonsense. You only got into this administration because we needed a black guy and you're the least black black guy we could find.

Powell: I was in Vietnam. It sucked. I figure if we go back it will suck again.

Cheney: We have people who say differently. Bring in our informer.

Heroin addict with no legs: -Hops in- WE WILL DEFEAT THE VIET CONG BY THE NOON TIDE! THE STREETS SHALL FLOW WITH THE BLOOD OF THE NON BELIEVERS!

Rumsfeld: See, this gentleman is a leading Vietnamese dissident, he's been giving us intelligence about their WMD in return for drug money.

Powell: You just found that guy passed out in a puddle of his own vomit one day and paid him to say things that you wanted to hear, didn't you...

Rumsfeld and Cheney: ... Well... That is to say... I mean... Maybe... Ok yes.

Powell: -sigh- Ok can we just settle for bombing Fallujah?

Cheney: We want to invade Najaf too!

Powell: FINE

Bush: Paint chips are like candy from the walls!

It is known as "the football."

Why? one would imagine that people referring to what is obviously a suitcase as a football would attract some unwanted attention. And if it was supposed to be a secret code word, it obviously isn't anymore.

It was never very far from the president.

Again, why? Is he wanting to start a nuclear war at any given moment? Wait, forget I asked....

Bush: Paint chips are like candy from the walls!

[Heccubus]

Why? one would imagine that people referring to what is obviously a suitcase as a football would attract some unwanted attention. And if it was supposed to be a secret code word, it obviously isn't anymore.

That's the same as asking why people call a boxing ring the "squared circle". It's just a nickname, and no one really cares that it makes little or no sense. I think calling it a football has something to do with the fact that it could "kick off" a nuclear war. HA HA HA! God I'm funny.

[Despondent]

If Al Gore had won his home state of Tennessee, You could blame HIM for the suitcase in the hallowed halls.

Somehow, I can't imagine that being topic-worthy.

[J m HofMarN]

If Al Gore had won,

1 There would have been no Iraq war

2 Al Gore would not have had to go apologize to the pope for going against his pleas for peace about the non-existant Iraq war

3 When Gore did go to visit the pope he would have thought: "I wonder, if I were a holy man opposed to violence would I want a nuclear briefcase in my house? Probably not. I'll just have them wait outside, it's not like there's a nuclear stand off going on or anything, what kind of moron would bring nuclear codes to the vatican anyhow?"

4 I mean, really, what other president has done that? Did Evita bring armed guards when she went to visit the pope? No, because, regardless of whether she was a benevolent first lady or a scheming dictatress she was at least smart enough to know that that is not something one should do.

4 800 AMERICANS AND THOUSANDS OF IRAQIS WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY!

if I were president...

i'd have a red button in the bathroom (lets face it, the statistical probability of a nuclear war starting while i'm on the can is JUST TOO likley)...

and one on my whithouse-issue TV remote, so if anyone said anything too stupid on TV that annoyed me I could destroy civilization as we knew it, just to deterrrr bad comercials, poor acting, reality TV and promote responsible, well writen, barendeque material.
