Comic-in-chief Bush plans 'pop-up book' on presidency

Funny stuff. He certainly makes a better comedian than a President.

At least they didn't find anything to joke about in Iraq.

I guess I need to lighten up. I thought we were in a serious situation with thousands dead in Iraq and tensions mounting worldwide. I thought the political impasse in our branches of government was a significant blemish in our nation's history. I should be eating ice cream and pretending to be a rapper. Silly me.

Sounds like a great evening was had by all.Nice.

Now get back to Impeaching this no good (president).

I thought having "gangsta" parties was a no no.

Why do they even have these correspondents dinners where everyone gets dressed up and pretends to not detest each other? Seems to me that this pageantry is a holdover from a bygone era.

Too bad people are laughing at Bush, not with him. I am glad the whole crowd got a good laugh at what a complete mess this country is in. Bush's two terms have been a nightmare it will take this nation a long time to recover from. Maybe then we'll find something to laugh about.

Are you 'F' ing kidding me. This group is ruining this country and they don't give a sh..!
Their arrogant behavior represents the problem and explains their reckless mis-management of this Nation.

Well, at least it's funnier than looking for WMD in the Oval Office.

By the way, "Have you ever seen a shot like that of Denny Hastert?" - thanks for the mental image. Hopefully that will go away before lunch.

Ah, so many more rantings from the Loony Left! Take come tranquelizers, folks. Clearly, you need them!

ok guys.... instead of always pointing out the negitives in his presidentcy why cant we point out his positives... i am not saying the every thing he did was right but i am just saying he is our president and we should respect him as such... now let me ask you this. would you say all of these things in front of him... most of you would say no, and the other people are lying to themselves of course you wouldnt say these things...
Do yourselves a favor learn somthing RESPECT!!!!

I read this early today but withheld comment to see how long it would take for people to complian about the President making jokes "at a time like this." This dinner and the associated joking are a Washington tradition. When your guy is in office you'll all remark about what incredible wit he has, so just lighten up.

I can't wait for Bush to leave office just so you all can quit compliaining about him. Plus, since it's likely the Democrats will be in complete control, I'll be interested to see who you'll blame then for the country's woes.

As usual, I am so proud of my President for graciously resisting the urge to cower from unrelenting, hateful, lib' attacks. President Bush's wit and Karl Rove's good sportedness--at this social/professional event--were not only appropriate but refreshing. I suppose some of you feel that humor and entertainment are solely reserved for Democrat fundraisers and Holly-weird ms.

Mr. President, when years have passed and I reflect on the many leaders we have elected, I will forever admire your decency, courage, conviction, smile and humor. I only hope you will not be the last truly good person this country was fortunate enough to elect President.

For those of you who do nothing but complain, look in the mirror for the true culprit. Your desire for a country of blamers, takers, cowards, anything-goes amoralists and personality chameleons disserves America in countless ways. Congratulations.

no name,
Wait, are you telling me that when Democrats take control this country will have WOES???!!! Nonsense, man. Nonsense. When Democrats take control they will set all right and we will all live in bliss and harmony to the end of our days.

That's so cute.

I just love watching those in power yuk it up with those supposedly keeping an eye on them.

I'm sure such a chummy relationship doesn't hurt the country at all.

DC is just one big cocktail party and the country pays the tab.

How am I the true culprit for putting this failure of a president in office. I didn't vote for him. Heck, I even voted for Dukakis to keep W's old man out of office.

No Name,

I hope you are right about Democrats controlling the country after 2008. I you are, we will still be blaming Bush for putting us in this mess we will have to dig out of. Regardless of who is in office after the next elections I can guarantee your side will be blaming the liberal press like you always do. Yawn.

That's pretty funny, no name. See, there's this ex-president named Bill Clinton and, even though he's been out of office for over 6 years now, the Republicans and Neocons STILL BLAME HIM for darn near everything that they can, as a way to distract attention from the failure that is the GW Bush administration.

So tell us - when will the Republicans & Neocons quit complaining about Clinton?

Lori, a country of blamers, takers, cowards, anything-goes amoralists and personality chameleons, that pretty much sums up the scum that we have been symbolic of the Bush years--Delay, Foley, Scooter Libby, the list goes on and on. Have you not been reading the news for the past year, or is that too "liberal" for you?

Evan

I wish it were that easy that we could separate Bush from the stubborn, vindictive and adolescent character that he is from the office of the President but, unfortunately, it is not only difficult, it is nearly impossible for a rational person to do.

RESPECT is not learned, it is EARNED!

Since most of the right wingers here are still blaming Clinton for everything, I guess we can blame BushCo. for at least 6 years.

This kind of close relationship between the Corporate Media and the Ruling Elite is what made Bloggers necessary.

Lori-

You realize the president isn't actually reading this, right?

Assorted liberals-

Some of you need to lighten up. Correspondents' dinners are not serious-minded public events. Besides, joking around is what keeps people from losing their minds when things are this bad.

posted by Lori: Your desire for a country of blamers, takers, cowards, anything-goes amoralists and personality chameleons disserves America in countless ways.

Why is it that "conservatives" insist that anyone left of center is "amoral" or even immoral? As if just because they live a Christian life dedicated to the bible they've got a one way ticket to heaven. Wait!!! that's it!!! They're moral because they fear punishment for wrong doings rather than doing what is right because it is the right thing to do! Which is the exact reason why many terrorists so strongly believe in their actions, because a god wills it.

As an atheist (a.k.a. godless) I'm offended that one may think I have no morals because I don't have a god watching over my every action. My morals are strongly held and don't need a government to impose laws in order to preserve them.

Even that kid doing the Star Wars light saber thing on YouTube looked less dorky than Rove...

And stop complaining how "in times like these" you can't joke. Then don't watch the Daily Show.

And commenters, please, also stop using tired stereotypes of liberals and conservatives on The Swamp. In the words of that guy from the Daily Show: "Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America."

What it comes down to is bipartisan unfunniness. Republican or Democrat, politicians are just not funny.

I like that if fits him...COMEDIAN AND CHIEF

I'm guessing that the family members and loved ones of our troops who have died for W.'s Iraq disaster don't think he's funny.

Karl Rove's good sportedness
Posted by: Lori | Mar 29, 2007 10:32:31 AM

sportedness? Is that even a real word?

Yeah, Dubya is a hoot. Especially with all the tens of thousands dead in Iraq in a war that was unnecessary except for him to prove that HE could one up his old man by getting rid of Saddam. Yep, dead bodies sure are hilarious. I'm sure Laura/Stepford wife had her frozen smile in place as always.

Catherine, darling, you had been coming around some lately. Don't disappoint me now.

Lori- You are dense and pathetic. You are also a hypocrite. When Bill Clinton was President we had unrelenting and hateful attacks against him almost daily. There were also personal attacks against his wife and Chelsea. If you think this moron Bush is descent and courageous you obviously don't have any sort of understanding of those words. If you think this Mr. Bush is a good President you have no concept of U.S. history and/or what a good President is. He has desacreted the office of President. What is Bush's approval rating these days?? Where have you been?? Overdosing on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and going gaga over Fox News. Bush makes himself look like an incompetent fool more and more each day. He can't even speak correct English. You should look at yourself in a mirror.

I am so proud of my President for petulantly resisting the urge to accept responsibility for his unrelenting incompetent blunders, particularly his Iraq attack. President Bush's witless clowning and Karl Rove's godawful rap--at this social/professional event were appropriate--for the worst president ever. I suppose some of you feel that humor and entertainment are solely reserved for Democrat fundraisers and Holly-weird forums. This performance proves you're absolutely right.

Mr. President, when years have passed and I reflect on the many leaders we have elected, I will forever admire your gall, your lack of morals, and your ability to smile and make humor out of the suffering of other Americans. I look forward to your conviction. I only hope you will be the last truly ignorant person this country was unfortunate enough to elect President.

For those of you who voted for this bum, look in the mirror for the true culprit. Your desire for a government of religious hucksters, bible-thumping hypocrites, chickenhawk cowards, and amoral profiteers disserves America in countless ways. Congratulations. (No corrections needed)

Evan,

First, please, I'm begging you, enlighten me on Bush's positives. I mean, other than that he's apparently a swell guy to have a beer, er, coffee with. I tell my daughter that there's at least a little good in everyone, but I have to admit I'm stumped on this one.

Second, I would LOVE the opportunity to say any or all of what's been said in this forum to Bush's face, but the likelihood that I would ever have the opportunity to be one of pre-screened people who's allowed to get within 10 miles of the president is about the same likelihood that I could look at a picture of Denny Hastert's pecs glistening in the sun without losing my lunch.

Love reading this to get a good laugh. Thanks for not letting me down once again!!!

Evan,...get your head out of the sand or where ever it is. Nobody has to respect this President. He's inept and if there is a God George W. Bush and his entire administration will see time in prison. As for "no name" (very clever) and Lori, it's quite apparent you haven't been paying attention. You must be a couple of the 10 percenters in this country who think Bush really is King,...he thinks so.

Unfortunately America will suffer for decades as a result of what Bush has done to us, including Evan, no name, and Lori who are blind deaf & dumb to the facts. Of course if Bush picks another war with the wrong country it might not matter to any of us.

Good Lord -- what a whiny bunch!

Like Bush, don't like Bush. Blame him, don't blame him. But lighten up -- a few jokes at a traditional gathering and so many folks are up in arms. And it turns right into Republican vs Democrat (or Liberal vs Conservative) attacks.

I personally like Bush, didn't like Clinton. But I can see the good and bad about both of them. Does every column related to politics always have to turn into crazed attacks?

He was entertaining. I still wonder what kind of President he would have made if he was his own man instead of Cheney & Roves puppet. Still all in all last night was a welcome break from the political rancor of recent months.

So, I would say that getting us out of Iraq and
fixing the problems at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center,and our VA Hospitals and Firing a bunch
of the Comic In Chief Foul Up George W Bush and
Karl Rove should consider more important than
Idiot Bush playing stand up comic and Karl Rove
pretending to be a song and dance man,and so
how about you stop joking around here Bushie
and explain why yoi haven't fired your shyster
attorney general Fredo aka Crazy Alberto Gonzales,and you Idiot VA Chief Jim Nicholson,
and where is your Exit Plan for Iraq and one for
Afghanistan and where the Hell is Osama bin Laden
at Stupid? We all want know what else besides her
Big Fancy Free USAF Luxury 757 Jet did you bribe
or pay off that phony crooked Democrat Idiot
Looney Toons Madame Speaker Good Old Non-Binding
Nancy Pelosi and her Errand Boys Steny Hoyer and
Harmless Harry Redi with Bushie so they won't
Impeach you and Delusion Dick Cheney? Since thing
your a hotshot comic and Joker Boy Idiot Bush?

Mr. President, I have a title for your pop-up book: "My Pet Scapegoat".

Kiss, kiss to you JohnD. I still believe that Bush has made and continues to make incredible errors with the Iraq war and he childishly won't take any rsponsibilty for any of his screw-ups. But I enjoy not calling you names anymore.

Loony Left, Loony Left. I repeat myself because I have nothing intelligent to say. I'm John D, and I'm a Republican't.

Really, looking at all these posts from the Loony Left and is there any doubt that most of the Left is Loony? Bill W's ghost, Ralph, Logic Prisoner, Uncle Earl, "lori's mirror," and the rest thankfully support my Loony Left name for y'all.

Really, Catherine, are you starting to agree with me when you look at some of these posts? You can disagree with Bush all you want, but please tell me that I have a point, OK?

I have seen so many off-the-wall, childish posts in the past week from the Left: everything from glee over Tony Snow's cancer, an attack on the mother of a U.S. serviceman, to the childish pitter patter from the Loony Left here and in many, many others.

John D,

Why would you care about an attack on the mother of a US serviceman. Does Cindy Sheehan ring a bell?

Seeing Bush in any setting makes my stomach feel icky. When I see Bush with other Republicans being funny with lines some other people wrote makes it feel very icky.

Yes, I agree even Democrats make my stomach feel strange at times, but not as much, and that my friends, is the real problem.

John D, you kind of make my stomach deel weird too..................

John D,

You seem to have your posts tangled. The ones dragging politics into cancer were written by Paulo, your side, about Elizabeth Edwards. The "loonies", almost to a man, took a "there but by the grace of God go I" approach to Tony Snow.

The serviceman's mother under fire is Mrs. Tillman, and it's coming from yoru firends again, as they try to accuse her of profiteering from her son's death.

I think all of you fools deserve each other -- nothing but a bunch of wannabe Segrettis and Carvilles who think a PC makes you a pundit. To find civil political dialogue is an impossibility with you around. Catherine is right to back away.

Frankly that's some funny stuff from Bush and company (his speechwriters ought to get some "props"). And to see Karl Rove celebrate his uber-whiteness is frankly worth a chuckle if not a groan of embarassment and dread. Bush all in all was a genial thoughtful and actually a humorous guy until he took office and the neo-conservatives tailored him to be the mouthpiece of hamfisted, bullying, braying, shout-down politics that was as corrupt, self-serving and preverted as the "immoral" left--who incidentally need to lighten up. It's more than evident America still needs a catharsis for 9/11 and based on the "neo-conservative" response to 9/11, America needs a catharsis from them.

evan, I cannot "respect" anyone who has not earned it. Sending good americans to their deaths over a made up war sort of did it for me...

Oh, man,
Couldn't we leave the "funny stuff" to someone who is NOT a mass murderer??

It seems as though Bush has finally found his calling in life - entertainment. His many attempts at professional life have all fallen short, none falling shortest than his presidency. I love to hear right-wingers try to defend Bush, as they have done so here. He has utterly failed in his post, and those who still support him are the real comedians in all of this. If you are against abortion, homosexuality, alternative energy, the environment, anyone who isn't a christian, standardized health care, and general global harmony, then he was your man. Otherwise, he has been a disgrace to those who have come before him and he has nothing left to do but laugh at himself and the joke that is his administration's legacy. Resign, you foolish, misguided, little man, as many in your cabinet have done so already. Wait! Forget I said that - Cheney would be at the helm. I'm on political hiatus until I can vote for someone who might do some good.

Easy now everybody. I teach my kids that I dislike their actions, not them. Can we please disagree over policy, not the person. This atmosphere of personal attack - hating someone you have never even met (Bush or Clinton) - is what is eroding this country's (and world's) fine fabric.

My god you people are so over the top. I'm a Democrat and I thought this stuff was funny. every presidential era has good and bad, get over your selves.

Mr. bush I'm all for stand-up comedy but lets wait untill all are boys are home and the war is over.I could just cry to think we have such idots running our country may God forgive because it's hard for me to.

Bush Wanted Our Troops Dying Laughing

Bush couldn't find WMD in Iraq.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A24883-2004Mar25¬Found=true

Joke's on him.

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Somebody tell Bush our troops are just dying.
