You know, we are frequently exasperated with our Commander-in-Chief and his lack of clarity and resolve on any number of issues, but then every once in a while he comes along and says something like this (click the video or die).
And then His Majesty finds himself wondering why the Hades Dubya can’t be like that all the time.
Not since his famous, astute and entirely accurate evaluation of NYT reporter Adam Clymer’s assholiness back in 2000, we tell you. We wish that he’d forget that his mic was live more often, because that’s when he’s at his best by far.
Right on!
UPDATE: The Empress, after having carefully and slowly explained the reasons to us (necessary at times, we regretfully admit), points out that we really shouldn’t be all that pleased with the President’s comment. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty outrageous. To compare the actions or indeed the very existence of Hezbollah and Syria with shit is a huge, mortal, unforgivable insult to fecal matter.
UPDATE the 2nd: A proud member of the Excremental Community just showed up in the InstaBark, demanding that we issue an apology to it and its extended family and fellow sewage-Americans for our shameless endorsement of the notion that they, in any way, are equal in putrescence with Hezbollah and Syria. We have no choice but to agree. Our most profound apologies. We don’t know WHAT we were thinking. Please forgive us.

July 17th, 2006 at 4:08 pmLast I checked it was actually the top story on cnn.com
July 17th, 2006 at 4:09 pmHonestly, though I LOVED the video, I’m not sure its quite top story material.
What did he say in 2000 to the NYT guy?
July 17th, 2006 at 4:09 pmClymer worked in relative obscurity until September 4, 2000, when Bush and running mate Dick Cheney appeared at a campaign event at Naperville, Illinois. While on stage prior to the event, Bush said to Cheney, “There’s Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times.” Cheney responded, “Oh yeah, he is, big time.” I believe is what Misha is talking about.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:16 pmyeah, i think that was Cheney, Big Time
July 17th, 2006 at 4:19 pmI agree, Emporor. Sometimes a President needs to stop being “Presidential” and just say what he means.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:21 pmNot being a fan of Flash myself (such incredibly crappy video quality) I opted for the version by Expose the Left…
Still love the perkey Ms. Malkin though…
One other thing of note (thanks to the Gateway Pundit) the New York Times is now reporting the following: In an About-Face, Sunnis Want U.S. to Remain in Iraq…
Hmmm, maybe if one does put wings on a pig it will fly after all…
July 17th, 2006 at 4:26 pmBeing from Texas myself, I was beginning to have doubts about the President’s “ranch creds”, but now not so much. Some people just “need killin’” and it’s high time we start kickin’ ass and takin’ names.
Yeeeehawwwww!!!
July 17th, 2006 at 4:29 pmis there seriously a “Jihad Neighborhood” in Baghdad?
July 17th, 2006 at 4:29 pmThe Empress is spot-on, as per usual.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:31 pm‘Zactly, dawnsblood.
The absolute BEST part about that was the aftermath, when the testosterone-deficient, metrosexual MSM threw one hissy fit after another over his comment while America cheered and Bush’s poll numbers showed a strange, sudden bump upwards.
Did the MSM take the hint and realize that maybe, just maybe a large part of their prospective subscribers agreed with the President, that maybe they weren’t quite the legends that they’d always been in their own minds?
Heck no.
They threw yet another pity party for themselves instead, whining like spanked little children over the “insult” to their noble selves.
Looking at their ever declining value on the stock market, they still don’t get it.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:33 pmThe only problem I have with Bush’s comment is that he should have added Iran to the list. At least Bush did publicly blame both Iran and Syria for the attacks on Israel a couple of days ago, from the very podium of the G-8 summit.
It’s still a good thing to hear from the President. Especially since it’s driving the Left into a tizzy. Actually, some of the libs seem to be making a bigger deal out of the President’s lapse into profanity than the continuing Hezbollah and Hamas attacks on Israel…which, I suppose, is only to be expected.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:40 pmNow why can’t he talk like that in speeches, and during press conferences?
July 17th, 2006 at 4:41 pmI love straight talkers.
From the ditch diggers all the way up to the POTUS.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:43 pmHow’s this for some, “straight talk” thanks to Power Line blog?
In an obscene attempt to obtain political mileage, the Democrats are claiming that President Bush is responsible for the outbreak of war in the Middle East. Howard Dean claims that the war would not have occurred if the Democrats had been in power because the Dems would have worked the past six years to prevent it. And Sen. Dodd has made basically the same assertion. Meanwhile, Rep. Jane Harman contends that the Bush administration is to blame for our poor to non-existent relations with Syria and Iran which, she says, prevent us from using diplomacy to end the crisis.
Straight talk alright! Straight from the looney bin…
Apparently Howard Dean and others of his ignorant ilk didn’t learn from the asinine mistakes of Jimmy Carter…
July 17th, 2006 at 5:04 pm*snort*
Just watched the video.
When I read it, I thought the President made it as an off-the-cuff remark.
er…no. He said it in the “I’ve got one good nerve left, and someone is stepping on it” tone.
More talk like that, and I won’t dislike him so much.
July 17th, 2006 at 5:04 pmYet one more dose of (ha! ha!), “straight talk“: “The Zionists think that they are victims of Hitler, but they act like Hitler and behave worse than Genghis Khan,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.
Hmmm, “Gehghis Khan”…. Now who’ve have I heard use that phrase as a description before?
Whoa there big boy! I seem to remember that our boy, “amialble dinner jacket” saying something to this effect: “They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets,”…
July 17th, 2006 at 5:16 pmMic was inadvertently left on my ass!
July 17th, 2006 at 5:17 pmIndeed it was a thoughtless bigotted and racist remark, Emperor, as well as xenophobic, as it was not only offensive to Sewage-Americans but to the World Excremental Community. But, humble and honest as always, you did apologize.
July 17th, 2006 at 5:20 pmHere’s stuff that a real conservative Prez would have said, and hoped his mic was on for.
“Let’s kick em in the balls so hard, that the boys go up behind their eye sockets.”
“Tear those goat fuckers a new one.”
“Man, did they fuck with the wrong Jews. Serves em fuckin right!”
“Alright, a war. Fuckin cool!”
July 17th, 2006 at 5:32 pmNatcherly Juandos,, a whiff of fodder and moonbat’s are fleet to follow. .
Nope, not enough collective sack-filler to enforce the previously belabored resolution.
Someone don’t know sheeeeit.
July 17th, 2006 at 5:39 pmCheapshot911 (#21) says:”Someone don’t know sheeeeit.”
Or someone is filled with it to the point that the white of their eyes are now a beautiful fecal brown…
July 17th, 2006 at 5:45 pmOf course with the Dems in power this wouldn’t have happened. They would have already sold out Israel….
July 17th, 2006 at 5:47 pmHmm they are right, it wouldn’t have happened, because the minute 9/11 had happened they would have raised the white flags from every building in sight. Better dhimmi than dead, they’d say. Either that or, in a fit of pseudo-patriotic terror and sheer lunacy they actually WOULD have done what I am accused of advocating… which I didn’t, but gweenfarts opinion is that I did therefore I must have, right? (no) I mean, the douchebag couldn’t have been WRONG now could he??… (yes)
RH
July 17th, 2006 at 6:02 pmnow a beautiful fecal brown…
July 17th, 2006 at 6:04 pm..but the ooze from the ears is scarin’ the kids.
Hey Bob, Greenwald is all awash in consternation since he can’t figure out that Israel’s enemies are our’s also…
How did a clown like this ever get a law degree?
July 17th, 2006 at 6:08 pmThanks Cheapshot911…I’ll be trying to scrub that image outta my head for days…
July 17th, 2006 at 6:12 pmTake a look at 90% (at least!) of the legal profession, and ask that question again, please?
(BisW, I do NOT include your fine self in that group!)
July 17th, 2006 at 7:13 pmAre the lefties posting this all over the web as a BAD thing? Hope so. That would backfire just as their posting of Dubya flipping the bird. I love it!
July 17th, 2006 at 7:22 pmBeavis:heh…heh-heh
July 17th, 2006 at 7:28 pmButthead:heh…heh-heh…he said “shit”…
Beavis:heh…heh-heh..yeah!…shit’s cool…
Both:heh…heh-heh-heh-heh
Its a hopeful sign when anyone involes Ghengis Khan in a context such as this. Ghengis knew how to manage miscreant muslims. Consult your history texts on what he had his son Hulagu do when he was annoyed by an overly ambitious Iranian Assasin. Hint. It involves several Muslim cities including Alamut, Baghdad,and Damascus, and some really goth cranial pyramids.
July 17th, 2006 at 7:29 pmKeep up these Ghengis reminders; someone might remember.
After considerable thought and very deep soul searching regarding the problems in the Middle East, I can honestly say:
Fuck ‘em all, fuck ‘em all,
And curse their incredible gall.
Fuck all the Hamas that shit in the sand.
Fuck Hezbollah and its mother Iran.
To the Baathists in Syria we say
Bend over, grab your ankles and pray,
If o’er your countries we fly;
Urban renewal on high,
Kiss your asses goodbye, fuck you all.

July 17th, 2006 at 7:50 pmOut of a cereal box I presume. They’re always giving away some kind of worthless crap with their cereal, I guess a do-it-yourself law degree is in there too.
July 17th, 2006 at 8:14 pmWell…I guess it depends on how you look at it…

July 17th, 2006 at 8:25 pmHere’s a good balanced response to the “Shit” comment
Why how dare the eeevil Booooosh tell the hezballsacks to stop attacking. They have every right to kill innocent women and children. It’s their birth right….
Here’s a link to the entire article….
BTW, it’s being reported that the IDF is bombing the Bekaa valley tonight….I wonder if we’ll hear any bigger than usual secondary explosions from any “hidden WMD”?
July 17th, 2006 at 8:35 pmjuandos, Howard and Chris were exactly correct - the Demoscum would have taken steps to prevent the war.

Preemptive surrender, ala *spit* fwance *spit*.
July 17th, 2006 at 9:06 pmHey I said they would have raised white flags… doesn’t that count?
RH
July 17th, 2006 at 10:02 pmI loved it when Bush said that and I am dreaming what a wonderful world it would be if he would just do that in one of his speeches. Yep, just tell them we will be glad to send them to hell and we are sick of their shit.
July 17th, 2006 at 10:33 pmThey had 8 years under bubba to solve the problem. Nothing changed then and nothing would have changed if they were still in power.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:50 pmDammit, Butthead, why could’t we say “$#|+” on our show?
Uhh–I dunno.
July 18th, 2006 at 3:08 amJaybear (#35) states: “BTW, it’s being reported that the IDF is bombing the Bekaa valley tonight….I wonder if we’ll hear any bigger than usual secondary explosions from any “hidden WMD”?“…
Speaking of WMDs, Ed Morrisey over at Captain’s Quarters has been following those, “Bush Lied and People Died” supposed lack of WMDs with this shopping list…
The Captain also has this little nugget on a mass grave site too…
July 18th, 2006 at 4:44 amTheir eight years under Mr. Cigar did almost as much to CREATE the problem as the four years the country suffered under Mr. Peanut.
Nothing would have changed? Maybe, maybe not. My money is on that 9/11 would have been delayed a year or two and been 20 times worse when they finally pulled it off.

Sorry Grits, perhaps this is more coherent
Fuck the middle east
There’s too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices
We’ll kill them all and have a ball
And end their fuckin’ crisis
BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won’t exist once we’re done
LIBYA, IRAN-We’ll flush the bastards down the can
SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks
