Will somebody please nuke all of America?

Wow.

The article in the first link also mentions how the White House press pack dissed not just Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi but the entire country of Italy. Sweet!

I'll say this for Bush, his ability to keep delivering surprising gaffes this far in to an already storied career is truly extraordinary.

Jesus fucking God. What an unbelievable asshole. It's not just that he's celebrating it, it's that he ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS falls back on the "dumbest, most entitled frat boy in the world" style of behavior.

Technically, I don't think it's even true anymore; I think China has passed us. But still.

At least he's upfront about being a jackass... you know Cheney would have tongued their buttholes about the environment, then turned around and raped a polar bear.

Nothing can (I hope?) top "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere..."

let me phrase this in a totally non-threatening way:

i really wish someone would [REDACTED] our failed president even if it means [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]

this long national nightmare just keeps getting worse...

Can we just keep him sedated until January? Please? Just have Laura roofie his Diet Cokes every day?

Can someone kill this guy yet.
I don't think I can wait until November!

holy fuck. for the first time ever i actually think that it's possible the united states of america might not recover from this. how can we ever get any credibility back?

I think america is going for the global record of simultaneous facepalms.

Knowing Cheney is not immune to hunting mishaps, an attempted polar bear rape just might provide us some poetically just closure.

Hey, he's got to express his pride in the country somehow! And if this is one of the few things that we actually are number one in...

*shudder*

Sorry, I can't even joke about it without feeling ill.

He's the expression of the American electorate: arrogant, wasteful, greedy, stupid, and proud of it.

To be fair, the press-pack's comments about Berlusconi and Italy were right on. Berlusconi is a shitcake. Imagine Bush, only a bit smarter, AND he owns the New York Yankees, The New York Times, NBC, CBS, and Fox News.

I hate Chimpy McSlaughter. Good god. What a waste of skin.

I would feel ill about this... except that I still feel ill over the fact that he TWICE won a majority in the Electoral College, and once won the popular vote by 3.5 MILLION VOTES.

Does anyone have an antacid?

I think he stole that line from McCain.

Yes, that's an appallingly disgusting thing for him to say.

@14 hit the nail on the head, save the words 'majority of' between the and American

Bush got elected twice (or nearly so, that isn't the point here) because this full of lazy fat ingorant stupid people who are not just excellent candidates for extermination but proud of it. If there is to be any hope we have to abandon the whole concept of 'self esteem' which only serves to make people who ARE shitscum feel good about it, then start sterilizing people who are a drag on society for behavior that is reasonably under there control, and then start executing those who don't comply and behave as if it's a good thing. There would be a lot of estate sales in short order.

Why is he still allowed to live?

Fnarf @15:

Don't forget the plastic surgery, too!

I can't wait for his post-Presidential autobiogaphy to come out

a little bit cleaner text this time around:

There would be a lot of estate sales in short order. I could use a few good yard sales!

@20
Is that the comment number you're referring to, or your age? Sorry, just my immediate reaction to anyone calling for mass sterilization and extermination of people they disagree with.

He's a visionary leader.

25: I call it gallows humor myself. And sadly, it's gotten to the point where it might be the only salvation of this pathetic species. At some point, disagreements are too destructive to be tolerated. Obviously, I'm not seriously calling for sterilization or mass murder, but the world doesn't benefit from these "divergences of opinion," especially when it comes to issues where there are no justified divergences. Jokes about widescale genocide are tasteless, but they make the bitter pill of reality easier to swallow.

no marty, that isn't my age. and it isn't disagreement. People who do no more than suck up resources and then feel proud of their greedy ignorant ways are destroying my society and my planet, it's a bit more than disagreement.

that said, of course the reference to extermination was purposely extreme, however, finding a way to PUNISH those act like the society they live in and the planet they live on is just one big diaper for them to shit in(and who elect leaders who reflect this despicable attitude and behavior) surely seems like a good idea to me.

Poor Laura. Is he hung like a horse?

so which is the worst quote of the week?

bush on our contribution to the environment, or mccain on killing all iranians via cigarette?
______________________
Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."

He quickly caught himself, saying "I meant that as a joke" as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.
____________

it's okay--he meant it as a joke.

190 days and a wakeup.

Well, he has a brain like a horse, Calpete ... but that's all.

and Fnarf is right, China's emissions (in today's and yesterday's Wall Street Journal) are more than ours are.

well i guess it's not news that he's an asshole and an idiot.

This has go to be a joke. Please god, tell me it's a joke.

However, it's not nearly as embarrasing as Bill Clinton at a G8 summit being asked about his sperms stains on Monica's blue dress.

meanwhile, in GOP sex scandal news:

@36 - why is that news, he's a Red Bushie ...

I like it where the NY Times describes Bush speaking Spanish to the Prime Minister of Italy. "Amigo! Amigo!"

@35: More embarassing for Bill? Yeah, probably. But this incident is way, way more cringe-inducing for the American public.

@20 As usual, the worst thing you can be is fat -- just like the majority of Americans are -- and, if you're fat, you're obviously worthless. Oh, the enlightment of the left.

PS -- Bush looks pretty physically fit to me. Does that mean that all physically fit people are worthless?

@10
How we can get our credibility back:

have election in November!

Nowhere to go but up!

I don't think McCain is much of an up, but it would be progress.

The rest of the world's nations don't have the balls to sanction the USA for its behavior in breaking international laws, acting like a bully, and using the planets air as a garbage dump. Because Bush knows they don't have the guts to stand up to the USA, he acts the way he does. This is really easy to understand.

i'm pretty much about 100% sure this is satire. As much as I'd like to believe, i just can't. somehow i remember the telegraph is sorta like the onion here.

The Telegraph is the most conservative broadsheet (respectable) paper in Britain.
