smirk opens his mouth: "...so I didn't like it one bit"

http://www.opednews.com/kall050204dumb_bush_iraqi_atrocities.htm

How Dumb Can A President Get? Responding ".... so I didn't like it one bit." just doesn't cut it as a response to the Iraqi prison atrocities done under his watch.

Bush's inadequate grasp of the English language, his inability to communicate screams in the face of the travesty of Iraqi prisoner tortures. Now, more than ever, the US faces the hatred, scorn and wrath of the Arab world. It takes a smart, articulate leader to respond to such horrors. Bush fails in so many ways. Bush said,

""I shared a deep disgust that those prisoners were treated the way they were treated," President Bush said. "Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people. That's not the way we do things in America. And so I didn't like it one bit."



His comments are not nearly good enough. They are pathetic, thoughtless blurtings of a fool. It is a time like this that we need a leader who has the ability to communicate, to eloquently express the horror, shock, and apology that is necessary. Obviously his speechwriters weren't able to supply him with words with any resemblance to the words of a thoughtful leader. The real Bush came through with a gigantic thud.

Fhe way things w ork in Bush's Washington, it's possible that CIA Director George Tenet will be blamed for this. He seems to be the designated blame receiver for the Bush administration. But he doesn't have to worry. He's carrying on in the tradition of another spook-- J. Edgar Hoover, who had so much dirt on all the power people in Washington that he had to die to leave his job. It's clear that Tenet has enough dirt on Bush and the rest of the Bush cabinet to kill Bush's run for re-election. Even Donald Trump couldn't fire him.

1. Ren and Stimpy horse says, "no I didn't like it one bit".
Really...it's a cartoon response.

There's kind of a joke in there because it was actually Horse's response mistranslated by Ren Hoechst (if I remember correctly it was some meeting involving foreign dignataries --a la United Nations). The original untranslated reply was "Las cucarachas entran pero no pueden salir." which would correctly translate to English as "Roaches check in but they don't check out" (not literally, but the intent is obviously a reference to the Black Flag product).

10. wow, that's a throwback
It was Ren Hoek, with an umlaut over the e, right?

I remember Mr. Horse said that when Stimpy asked him to comment on Gritty Kitty Cat Litter.

Mr. Horse chewed on a good-sized clump of litter, and after some thought said "No, sir, I didn't like it."

I also remember the "Las cucarachas" line, but I forget the context. Must've been as cosmicaug describes.

2. Insincere -that was what came to mind when I heard him speaking.
Of course, it comes out that he's known about this for months and kept quiet. Then his clueless General Meyers claims that he (Meyers) has not even read the abuse report. Right on top of things as usual.

4. The torure was bad. It made us look mad. >
And so I did not like it one bit.

I did not like
all the binding
and the humping
and the pee-peeing oning.

I did not like
that the men were nude.
I did not like
that the men wore hoods.

But Jesus told me
George, it's the only way
to get the goods.

7. Bush acts the way he does because he is hiding something,
that perhap, it was he that put the pressure on the boys to get me some WMD like quick.

8. Bush's response is indeed horribly inadequate
but honestly, I was impressed it wasn't worse.

9. Said with about as much passion as Poppy Bush saying he didn't like
broccali. And this is the guy that voters think is compassionate??? News media needs to stop cheerleading and start reporting.

11. So George wants it to be all about him?!
"And so I didn't like it one bit."

Of course, it's not a Real Issue until the Lord High Texecutioner weighs in, is it! Even if it's a horrific situation, he simply HAS to insinuate himself and his own personal reaction into it.

Well, Mr. Bush -- for once I'm not going to argue with you. This wouldn't be happening if you hadn't invaded Iraq.

12. I am almost certain
that there are some above average intelligent Conservatives. I don't understand how they can tolerate this shallow dolt.
