Is Dubya really a "bullshitter"?
Advertisements [?]
I mean, "bullshitters" will pat you on the back and pretend you are as special as a long, lost brother. They will call you nicknames, pretending they are terms of endearment. They will exaggerate the threats of their perceived foes. They like to play jokes on people, especially when it is at someone else's expense, rather than their own. They always say things that they regret later. "Bullshitters" usually have an arrogance that covers up a deep insecurity. And "bullshitters" will insinuate something without coming right out and saying it. He will leave the impression and will not go back to correct it. Just as Dubya has done with his "imminent threat' comments.

How many times have we seen Dubya put his arms around someone, like the fireman at the WTC, and pretend this is one of his closest friends? And it is all a pretension. And how many times have we seen him use nicknames to personalize and minimize a potential antagonist? He does this even with newspeople. It's "Slim" or "Big John" or whatever. Remember how he came up with the "Axis of Evil"? A term which he probably regretted saying..?? Very little of what a bullshitter says can be taken with any degree of sincerity. In my opinion, George W Bush is a major "bullshitter".
