A Roadie for the Rock Star August 5
Depending on which McCain ad you see, Johnny Walnuts thinks Obama is either a rock star or Charlton Heston wannabee. As the ads correctly assert, the O-Man can fire up a crowd and get them thinking seditiously about hope and change. However, McCain seems to think the ability to talk to the masses is somehow a failing in a potential president. I suppose that’s proven by the lack of tributes to McCain’s or Bush’s ability to pack the house with barn-burning speechifying.
Despite what Johnny Not Bush would have you believe, great oratory is an important skill for the Leader of the Kinda of Free WorldTM. Although it isn’t the only criterion, a President who can inspire people actually gets things done. Certainly more done than an oratorical oaf who’s idea of inspiration is “my way or the highway” said through a mouthful of Crawford’s finest cow crap. And now, in the opening days of Dumbya’s Farewell Asia Tour, the Chump-in-Chief demonstrates what happens when your speeches consist of malapropisms and unneeded bluster.
Johnny, please take note.
Hundreds of South Koreans - you know, the ones who aren’t in the Axis of Evil - rioted during Dumbya’s first stop on his Farewell to Asia Tour. About 18,000 of Seoul’s Finest responded with a good old fashioned beat-down of the “adoring” crowd. In what’s become classic Bushonian irony, the planned prayer breakfast and pro-American speeches were to have taken place under balloons and banners welcoming El Jefe.
Bush may not claim to be a rock star, but he does think he’s a swell fella who regularly talks to the Big Guy - it’s just not clear whether he means the actual Big Guy or Charlton Heston. In this case, he did manage to pack the house with nearly Obama-like numbers, but people hated the guy so much they were willing to take a water cannon up the ass to show their displeasure…in a country that’s overwhelmingly pro-American.
Of course, John Boy hasn’t had misfortune on this scale quite yet. For one thing, he’s never been close to drawing a throng - except for titties and beer conventions - his draws are usually more like monthly meetings of the Kokomo Lion’s Club. But Walnuts has that special Bush talent. Every day he works diligently to talk out of both sides of his mouth while forgetting questions and basic geography. He still needs a little work on malapropisms to be a master like Yoda W. Bush, but I’m convinced he has it in him.
So at this point, I’m a roadie for the “inexperienced” Messianic rock star who isn’t ready to lead. Better him than a Zen malapropism master’s apprentice who has enough “experience” to prove he’s even less ready.
Besides, I’m not a big fan of water cannons up the kiester. Call me funny that way.

oh okay my son figured out- thank heavens for teens
So he says- oh- just turn that LUV thing off and you wll be fine….ohhhhhh ….
So great post…I have a feeling that Bush is going to not be warmly welcomed like he was in Slovenia….nope…no flowers and candy and bossumed comely women hugging him in all his August sweat….and I wonder what Laura will do…will she really go with him…she feels strongly about Burma…anyways no matter what the asshole does- I think the photo above says it all- we always remember Katrina in august…and what a effin failure of human he really is….
About Johnny McInsane- he seems bound and determined to live up to King George’s Legacy- it is stunning to watch one bonehead move after another….I can not even keep count now….the Biker Rally was amazing…What’s next ???? a Good Klan Rally????seriously….

How do you know the Sturgis Rally is happening? All the dentists leave town.
Sturgis is right up there with Hummers, tattoos and pitbulls all that say I am so tough - see what I bought!!! McCain trying to inspire the bikers was pretty laughable.

E4E,
Thanks for testing that for me. Also thanks for the kind words, although I never thinik of myself as being inspiring. But, flatter will get you everywhere:-)
FS,
Around here we have motorcycle gangs actually made up of dentists, accountants, and the like. They ride big Harleys just like the bad ass guys, but they have the detailed every time they take them out, their leathers are pristine, and they only ride as far as a fern bar to wet their whistles with an apple-tini.
To each his own I suppose.

We saw what happened to the idiot who called 911 about his two sandwiches. If only Jared Fogel had been there, he would have been able to talk the man back from the brink. Now the guy will never go to Subway again and will end up tripling his weight at Mickey D’s. The inhumanity of it all.
