Real, Strange News

What happend to Bush? Or Huckabee?

Any poll that does not include at least two of the these --- Bush, Chaney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, --- in the top ten choices cannot be accepted as valid... even a tongue-in-cheek one.

Didn't Bush say Nelson Mandella was dead? Can't get any dumber than that.

"Nelson Mandela yesterday assured the world that, contrary to the impression given by the President of the United States, reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

Even for a statesman as blunder-prone as George Bush, it was a gaffe of toe-curling proportions."

I nominate WaPoPravda for idiot of the year.

They continue to be the official propaganda rag of the White House, causing their credibility to sink to a new low, followed closely behind by their circulation.

Any "idiot of the year" list that does not include Bush on it just isn't interested in the truth.

Bush never said Mandela was dead. He spoke figuratively - that Mandelas in Iraq are dead - meaning there are no saviors left in the country. This is probably too subtle for those with uncontrolled Bush hatred.

Yes, please add 11) for G.W. I can't really vote if he's not an option.

You can't nominate Bush! That's like making fun of the retarded kid.

I think the Bush apologists and enablers should also be on the idiot list.

Why they continue to vote against their own self interests as we watch our country go down the drain is beyond me. Is it their bigoted hatred for anyone who does not look and think exactly like themselves?

Lets face it Bush is the mother of all idiots. Not one of the idiots on your idiot list are even in the same league.
So, I will take the initiative here and crown dubya the Idiot Prince For Life. "Mission Accomplished"

Bush isn't half as stupid as you think. A lot of people dumped on Truman over the years, but now he is regard as one of the best Presidents of the 20th. It's easy to hate now, lets see what happens with his legacy.

Jeremy, Texas

Maybe Jeremy is right- maybe he isn't half as stupid as we think. But he's at least 1/4 as stupid as we think, and he's also extremely ethno-centric, ill-informed, and self-delusional.

Nominated are all those leftwing nuts who suffer Bush derangement syndrome, as well as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and John Murtha, the king of ear marks.

There is no bigger idiot in the public arena than George W."the Torturer" Bush.

He ain't that stupid he got elected didn't he? Real idiots are the American voters.

Is there some kind of rule that says Senators, or the Preznit, are off limits? I would have liked to nominate the Senior Republican Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens, for his description of the Internet as a "series of tubes". I bet his wife programs the VCR in THEIR house!

Most of your list of luminaries distinguished themselves by way of one stupid incident, and while one may not be able to characterize them as otherwise bright, there's no reason to believe they exhibit such behaviour all the time. George W. Bush is the stupid gift that keeps on giving - 360-degree stupid 365 days per year.

Hello? Ever heard of Larry Craig?

I would like to nominate Michael Vick. What else, but an idiot, would deliberately sabotage his home, property, career, reputation and future for dog fighting? He lied about it to the league commissioner, the team's owner, who signs his paychecks, and the media...and acted like anyone on earth would believe him.
What a loser.
What an idiot.

How about Fred "bomb Iran" Hiatt editor of the WAPO?

George Bush is always number 1.

Stevek7 - I always thought Bush was a #2.

I believe Bush and Cheney are professional idiots, and thus ineligible for awards such as this.

You can't nominate an elected person without making the country look stupid too.

It seems that nobody wants to say it, but I will. We are at war. The lives of free people are in jeopardy. The new face of fascism has surfaced for all to plainly see, and their nuclear desires are clear. Make no mistake about it, Iraq and Afghanistan were mere preludes to what the real objective of the war on terror is about. And this, ladies and gentlemen is something I will say with absolutely no hesitation at all. The core of the war on terror is Iran.

No Democratic candidate will say these words and few Republican candidates will either. The only thing holding the United States back from having a meaningful election in 2008 is by simply stating the obvious: Iran has declared war on us. They have supplied weapons in Iraq that were used to kill and wound our soldiers there. Iran has played a significant role in destabilizing Iraq and distracting the United States from our goal. The goal is clear as a bell, because Iran has been and still is the main source of weapons used to kill Americans in Iraq and Israelis in Lebanon and in Israel itself. Now the question is, do Americans sitting in their homes and offices right here at home want to become the next victims? I say hell no.

The only way to draw and end to the war on terror is by dealing with Iran by force. It is a fact that islamic militants who control Lebanon today are also operating a network of phony passports and visas in South America and Central America. These are used to allow terrorists from the Middle East to enter the U.S. from the Mexican border. America is under attack from a sophisticated network of international criminals whose goal it is to dismantle the United States by making a mockery of our government and our way of life.

For the life of me I cannot understand why it is that people will simply sit back and allow this to happen right under their very noses. What compels people to accept the jibberish of the Democrats as being anything remotely akin to the truth about the war on terror. Why don't those who support George Bush speak louder and more succinctly and clear when it comes to the amazing courage it took to invade two countries whose borders are shared with the enemy of freedom and liberty, Iran. When is it going to be time for two candidates from both the Left and the Right to step up and agree on one thing alone, which is that regardless of their differing opinions on the economy and healthcare one thing will remain constant: Iran has got to be dealt with once and for all.

It will be unfortunate for sure to wake up one day and turn on the news to find out that foreigners of middle eastern descent entered the country illegally from Mexico using fake passports, and managed to assemble a nuclear bomb that was detonated in an American city. Then what? Who will be turn to at that point in time when we will be reeling from a nuclear attack? Or how would we react after Israel had been hit with a nuke? Which candidate is pondering these things and talking about these publicly in real terms? Sadly very few are, and the ones who do are marginalized by the media.

I say, to hell with the mainstream media and their game of profits for peace. I think there ought to be laws that prohibit corporations who are owned by foreigners from owning U.S. media companies. The only way to take back America from its drunkenness from inhaling too much kumbaya b.s. is by educating them. Put Brigitte Gabriel on the air and let her tell how it felt growing up as a Christian girl in Lebanon when the muslims invaded that country and turned it into an islamic fundamentalist state instead of the free and open society that it used to be. Why has the media abrogated its responsibility to tell the truth about how the Clintonistas destroyed the intelligence community during their 'glorious' rule of the last decade of the 1900's. Capping off America's great accomplishments in the world during the 1900's and being known in the world as the great bastion of freedom in liberty came marauding hordes of islmofascists to our shores because they could get away with it so easily.

America has been made a fool of by the Left by insinuating that if you happen to be a woman or if you are gay then the only people who can be sensitive to your needs are Democrats. Their shoddy logic infers that somehow being a victim is a full-time occupation that needs government to take your hand and be nice and sweet to you. Meanwhile your very life is being threatened by people who still believe in stoning women and hanging gays for no other reason than because they practiced sexual freedom. I say, the ones who will be most protective of the rights of gays and women are the ones who will fight islamofascism relentlessly to the death until each and every one of the followers of this sick and pathetic hateful ideology are wiped off the face of the map.

Until the time that a candidate for the office of President of the United States of America has the unmitigated gall and nerve, decency and the courage and cojones to say these things then consider my vote out of the question for you.

To Bush Is Right! The only time Bush has been right was when his position in a photograph was described. He's never been right, and nothing good has happened to the country since his coup in 2000. The dollar has crashed, fuel prices have almost tripled, housing prices have collapsed, credit is tight, foreclosures are at flood height, floods have ruined a major American city that continues to flounder, a hundred thousand Iraqis are now in the democratic republic of death, Osama bin Laden roams the tribal areas, 9-11 happened on his watch while he mumbled through a children's story, the world hates the U.S., the Constitution has Bush fecal matter all over it, Enron and other giant hoaxes crippled the market, and on and on and on. What planet were you from again?

Bush, no contest. He didn't inflict injuries on himself; he inflicted them on the citizens he claims to govern and on others in the rest of the world. And through all of it, he kept on grinning. If that's not a clue that he's truly an idiot, I don't know what is. The list of idiocies perpetrated or coming to light during this past year makes him the uncontestable choice for "Idiot of the Year."

Bush is Right, You're probably a troll but on the off chance you're not, I'm confused. If Iran is the real threat to America, why did we invade Iraq and Afghanistan?

One of the many, many reasons your post is so absurd is that we can't do anything about Iran even if we wanted to because we are running out of troops and barely have enough to keep in Iraq and Afghanistan as it is. Unless you're in favor of re-instituting the draft. Hell, I almost hope that happens because guess how many Americans would support your foolish war when it's their sons' lives at stake?

Ugh. Try reading the NY Times, or any other intelligent media outlet, instead of watching Fox News and spewing whatever jingoistic nonsense you hear from Bill O'Reilly.

I'm with Bush Is Right. I want his presidential candidate to stand up before God and the world and announce that he plans to protect the rights of gays and women by wiping Islamofascism off the map. That should do it.

Please, though - whichever one of you it is, wait until you've received the party's nomination before you say that.

I have no idea what you commenters are thinking but you remind me of Nazi sympathizers in the 1930s.
To answer the anonymous guy, Iraq supported al qaeda, and that was the most important reason to strike Iraq.
If you need more reasons, then do your research on what Saddam did to his own people. Kurds and others being experimented on a la Mengela. Torturing of people to test their biological weapons. Iraqi Olympic athletes being tortured and killed for not winning.
How quickly we forget these niceties. I'm glad we went over there nailed Saddam, and saved the people.
Americans are the most sympathetic and empathetic people in the world whose military will fight for anyone who wants to be free.
Whats wrong with you guys? Are you so blinded by NYTimes propaganda that you forget we need to fight for the freedom to read it? I'm ashamed of you! Move to Iran and see how that goes.

I nominate Bush is Right

Actually, there is no evidence whatsoever that Iraq supported Al Qaeda. This widely known and accepted. Like I said... try getting your news from somewhere other than Fox.

Sucks about Saddam torturing his own people, but if that were the only criteria for an American invasion, well, I assume you can imagine what our foreign policy would look like.

These were difficult choices, as each represented a different form of stupidity. Unclear-on-the-concept stupid vs. what-did-you-think-would-happen stupid, for instance.

No one is denying that Saddam Hussein was a despot who did despicable things to the Kurds and others who opposed his rule.

But the U.S. invasion has destroyed the economy and infrastructure of Iraq. There are hundreds of thousands dead post-Saddam, and millions have been displaced from their homes. How do we capture the hearts and minds of the Iraqis, from whom we have taken so much? How can the seeds of democracy take root there and spread moderation throughout the other Arab nation-states at this point? As Saddam Hussein stood with the noose around his neck, his last words were "Death to Persia [by which he meant Iran for those who don't seem very well read re: the Middle East]. Even though the U.S. was responsible for his capture and eventual execution, he still hated Iran more.

In other words, we eliminated Iran's most fierce opponent. If Iran was always the goal, then I really can't comprehend how removing Saddam and destroying normal life in Iraq makes it easier to us to achieve that goal.

Seems like every time the U.S. plays it's little nation building games and intrigues, we are always bitten in the arse later by those pesky "unanticipated consequences."

America is awash in propaganda and it looks like many of you have lost your faculties of critical reasoning. Maybe that makes you the idiots.

"America is awash in propaganda and it looks like many of you have lost your faculties of critical reasoning. Maybe that makes you the idiots."

It was us last year

In war you have to pick and choose your battles. We chose POORLY

I nominate myself, for outing a CIA operative, for writing partisan op-eds, and for being a scumbag.

There are poor fools who steal lawn mower gas and so forth. But real stupidity is demonstrated by individuals with high educations they ignore, responsibilities they fail to perform, and a maniacal inability to admit mistakes. Who does this sound like: a guy lighting a match near a lawn mower gas tank or the leaders of a great nation seemingly oblivious to basic considerations of what is right or wrong?

Uh, Bob, I believe you pulled that a couple years ago. This is for 2007!

What happened to the Decider, he's run off with this award for the last six years, even if he did have to share it last year with Alberto Gonzales... It is really really bad when you can read some of the idiotic things done by the finalists above, and envision the President doing most if not all of them!

"I have no idea what you commenters are thinking but you remind me of Nazi sympathizers in the 1930s."

You mean they remind you of Prescott Bush? Dubya's grandaddy who had a bank confiscated by the feds for loaning money to the Nazis when we were at war with them?

Just wondering if you ever noticed that your dunce cap guy has the word Idiot spelled wrong. Or maybe that was intentional.

I will be cool like everyone else and say it too! Bush is the biggest idoit! HA

Emil,
thanks for keeping me off the list this year.

insert unintelligible bush bash here

Actually, the evidence that Saddam supported al Qaeda and the Taliban could fill a book...and here it is:

Bush is right;
there is no hope you are Idiot #1

What about George Bush? Or is he an all time winner 2001-2008?
