The Truthiness Hurts

Two weeks ago, Stephen Colbert of the "Colbert Report angered the George W. "The Decider" (Song) Bush for telling who he really is . Colbert stand up routine at the White House Press Corespondants Dinner have all the Bush toadies(and Fox News) underwears in a bunch. The routine Colbert have done have made the lapdog White House press corps (except a few people) the media and Bush in an uncomfortable position. For most of all Stephen Cobert saterized the entire Bush Adminstration and they didn't think it was funny. Well boo-hoo Bush Crime Family, Suck it Up! For the first time it had broken two myths spread by the dumb ass neocons. 1. There is no such thing as a "liberal media" and 2. The American people are not a bunch of sheepeople that blindly praise the moron president. Here are the entire video of the whole routine from C-SPAN . Judge for yourself. (Video- via Google Video) Look how Dubya and Laura Bush have the "we are not amused look". Also notice the uneasiness with the laughter in the audience.

He should not be angry when someone speaks about the true nature of himself. Stephen Colbert is merely providing us what we know about Der Chimperor really is . For what I have noticed in the past 6 years, Bush is never serious on anything. When there is a serious problem that comes ahead or after natural or manmade disaster the only thing that Bush knows what to do is stage a feel-good photo op. After having a feel-good speech and photo op Bush and the Republicans never actually tackle the problem head on but, a good oportunity for his cronies to make some money out of it.

Colbert's comments about Bush constant use of photo ops rings true:

"I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world"

Americans need a president that will show true leadership by actions that improve the situation not an opportuntity to take advantage of it.

Americans need a president that is seriously working on issues that affect the lives of all Americans not someone who can bring a very good show and pretend that he is concerned.

Americans need a president that is clearly compentent and able to tackle the problems and knows his job well not look unable to do the job.

Bush has not shown that he can do the job and just to cover his ass a photo op is needed so he can pretend that he cares about it.

So when a leader is critizied or satrized a true leader should be take heed about his shortcomings and improve on them and not be angry when it shown to you as what you really do. Do me a big favor Bush. Suck it up Bunnypants!


More quotes from Stephen Colbert:

• "Wow, to be this close to the man!(George Bush) I feel like I'm dreaming, somebody pinch me! You know what, I'm a pretty sound sleeper that may not be enough, somebody shoot me in the face!"
  
• "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say that 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% of people approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it ... I haven't."
  
• [After denying that recent administration personnel changes was like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.] "This administration is not sinking, this administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!"
  
• On interviewing Jesse Jackson - "It's like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor, by the way, because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is."
  
• "The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday -- no matter what happened Tuesday."
  
• "Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32% means it's 2/3 empty. There's still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash."
  
• "Right sir, that's where the truth lies, right here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than your head? You can look it up ... now I know some of you are gonna say, I did look it up and it's not true. Thats cause you looked it up in a book. Next time look it up in your gut."
  
• "I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the 'No Fact Zone'. Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term."
  
• "I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
  
• "I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And "reality" has a well-known liberal bias."

• "By the way, Mr. President, thank you for agreeing to be on my show. I appreciate it. I was just as shocked as everyone here is, I promise you. How's Tuesday for you? I've got Frank Rich, but we can just bump him. And I mean bump him. I know a guy. Say the word."
  
• "And though I am a committed Christian, I believe everyone has the right to their own religion - be you Hindu, Jewish, or Muslim, I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior."
  
• "I've got a theory about how to handle these retired generals causing all this trouble: don't let them retire! Come on, we've got a stop-loss program; let's use it on these guys. I've seen Zinni and that crowd on Wolf Blitzer. If you're strong enough to go on one of those pundit shows, you're strong enough to stand on a bank of computers and order men into battle. Come on."

Boy does the truthiness hurt!
