This Is One Of The Most Disgusting Moments In George W. Bush's Presidency


George W. Bush's memoir isn't a picture book filled with doodles and scratch 'n sniff pages. I wish. If it was I'd be the first bottom (Definition of "bottom" - My kindergarten teacher's nickname for ass cheeks. Not the other thing, you dirty fuck!) on the carpet to watch Bush show us experts from his book at Barnes & Noble. No, Bush's memoir is filled with words, a lot of them. And in his book he gives a shout out to GAY FISH! Bush says that one of my favorite moments in television history was also one of the most disgusting moments in his entire presidency. Almost as disgusting as the time Laura snuck spinach into his brownies to trick him into eating more green veggies. DAMN THAT LAURA!

In an interview with Matt Lauer airing on NBC next week, Bush explains why he wasn't laughing with the rest of us when he watched Kanye West's random punchline followed by Mike Myers' "IS THIS REAL LIFE?" face and Chris Tucker's "What in the..." bulging eyes. EW reports:

“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”

Lauer quotes from Bush’s new book: “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.’

President Bush responds: “Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em.

Lauer: “You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your Presidency?”

Bush: “Yes. My record was strong I felt when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment.”

Oh, George, you're just saying that so Taylor Swift will invite you to her Thanksgiving dinner. Well played.

And I've been refreshing Kanye West's SHRINE TO GAY FISH (aka his Twitter page) to see if he's dropped any CAPS LOCK-sponsored prolific words about this and he hasn't so far. But he did type this:

I always misspell genius SMH! The irony!

This was the moment I fell in love with his soul... he is brave and honest. Babies had no diapers, formula, food, water, nothing and The President did nothing. Good for Kanye to call him on it! This is how the world should work... with truth spoken.

Kanye is delusional on so many levels. Like George W. Bush or not, you've got to admit West is simply a fool. And poor old Mike Myers looks miserable. Almost like his career was tanking. Oh, yeah. It DID tank. I'm sure it had nothing to do with his pomposity.

The reality is that the Bush's don't care about ANY people.

He IS a racist. His Daddy is a racist. His Mommy is a racist. His whole damn government was racist. Cheney was running the Oval Office though. Bush was there just as a name. They probably threw him some cat toys and told him to play quietly in the corner most days. Cheney is an evil bastard, Rove too. I hope they are brought to justice someday.

Why do people think that you have to follow every belief just because you belong to a certain party?

Well said. But maybe there are enough people who blindly fit the stereotypes that they persist? Closing your eyes and voting party lines is a bad idea.

Slutleena's picture

I'm kind of glad he said this. Maybe it will shake some Americans and make them realize that Obama is 10 times better than Bush. With everything that happened in his 8 years the only thing that pissed him off was Kanye? Only gives confirmation that Bush was asleep at the wheel most of the time. Personally I would be more offended at being called a liar or murderer than racist.

Sincerely,

OK, so I usually stay away from political threads because the arguing is too much, and I'm not very educated about politics, but DAMN. Why do people think that you have to follow every belief just because you belong to a certain party? I'm a Democrat that supports the right to choose along with the death penalty, and I also believe that people should (with permits) be able to carry small firearms. (Let a bitch try to rob/attack ME.)I'm ready and prepared for all flaming. For fucks sake. Minorities vote Republican and Republicans have abortions.

I'm not even sure that made any sense. Running away now.

Yes it was Gay Fish's award-winning moment but it was stolen it by that "Mike Myers' IS THIS REAL LIFE? face". It must be because I couldn't get the clip to play for me and yet I remember the look on his mug; quintessentially Canadian.

Bush just gave that waste-of-air way too much power.

Katrina and the way Bush handled it was awful, and I totally agree, but the reality is New Orleans is still the SAME!!! The 9th Ward that is...except for Brad Pitt the government has done shit....I have become an independent now cause I really cannot relate to either side they are both scary and corrupted...and I hate the Tea Party cause they are just plain crazy and don't know what to believe it...they make up their shit as they go along...Thank God Christine O'Donnel did not get the election cause then I know Armageddon is on the way!! Hell hath freezes over if that bitch won...and also thank God JERRY BROWN IS BACK...but sads for the weed law :(

My uncle is a well known psychiatrist and he diagnosed Kanye West with severe mental disorder a looong time ago. I forget the exact name (they all sound fancy) but it is according to the DSM IV something that is a combination of a thought/mood disorder a la schizoeffective disorder in KW case and personality disorder which is probably a combo of pure narcissism and paranoia. Man needs medication and therapy. Otherwise, he will be doing this until he reaches his limit and kills himself. Patients who remain untreated can commit suicide when they reach their limit.

SIN PARALELO LA CORRUPCION EN LA CIUDAD DE BELL

Bell city salary scandal makes more Americans distrust of the democrats.
by George Bao

According to the editorial, all five city council members are Democrats and Bell also is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Of the 9,918 registered voters, 6,193 are registered Democrats and there are more voters (1,760) than there are Republicans (1,289), according to the Registrar of Voters.

The editorial says Democratic Party members represent Bell voters in every level of government. At the federal level Bell is represented by Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard. The city’s state assemblyman is Hector De La Torre and its state senator is Ronald S. Calderon, both Democrats

“So readers wonder whether the omission by media about the party affiliation of Bell’s council members demonstrates bias — not wanting to stain the Democratic Party with the Bell brush."

If Bush used just a little common sense, he'd realize there is no reason to publicly comment on this at all. The fact of the matter is is that the great majority of Americans don't really give a rat's ass about the political opinions of an illiterate, ghetto-assed, pathetic rapper that has the the IQ of gnat. Poor America -- we're such a mess!

So don't talk to America about the disgusting party of Death - the democrats - and their late term abortions… and the women who promote it like Pelousi.

Right - Kanye dissing him was the "worst moment of my Presidency?" Gee, George, what about 9/11? Starting the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? Your piss-poor reaction to the horrors of Katrina? How about leaving us in the worst recession in recent memory? Yeah, Kanye hurting your feelings truly eclipses all those other pesky points during your regime.

As Simon Pegg noted, Dubya IS probably saying this to himself about now: "I screwed you all - but thanks for blaming it on the black guy!" He might not mean Obama, either!

Pssssst anger management therapy. The real question is why is anyone in America giving money to Africa or any other nation. Keep the funds at home and help Americans. Let the Africans pay for their own fucking abortions.

Submitted by Talkdirty2me on Wed, 11/03/2010 - 11:52am.No president in history has provided more monetary aid to Africa than GWB. Last time I checked there were a helluva lot of black people over there.
GWB cut funds to any and every project in Africa that provided abortions. I'm not talking specifically money for abortions, but any funding for anything was denied if abortions were offered as an option. This was a Reagan law that GB Sr had the common sense to roll back. Fortunately Obama also had the same common sense. So, yeah, don't give me this bullshit about him giving money to Africa because that money was 100% tied to his asshole pseudo-christian morality.

Kanye West is a joke. What's not funny is that people actually buy his crap "music." For real. What the fuck did Kanye West do for the victim's of Katrina? Embarrass himself on television (again)and I'm sorry what else? Yeah, not enough. If he hasn't already proven to the world that he's retarded (no offense to the mentally handicapped) he will.

TiredofthisCrap's picture

The thing about those who believe that the Bush Administration "allowed" 9/11 to happen is, they have actual statements from the Bush Administration to support them. The CIA and FBI received intel stating Al-Qaeda operatives were planning to fly planes into the WTC that was forwarded to the Executive branch in August of 2001. I wouldn't go as far as to stay they let it happened, but they were pretty fucking incompentent to not investigate it any further. There was an attempt on the WTC in the 1990's the plot to fly planes into the building were uncovered THEN, so yeah I can why some folks may take that step to say they allowed it to happen. They have more credibility than the Birth certificate folks.
