When I tried to access the infamous Wilonsky-as-cheerleader photo, it was blocked by our IT department's content filter, which classified it as "pornography." I never thought I'd see the day when I would thank the content filter for protecting me.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled Bush-hating, already in progress.

What happens when you try to delete a comment from Jesus?

Oh, and RoB, this one's for you:

"this coach won in Hawaii, I'm sure he can be successful in this country"

Has anyone noticed that things in the commentsphere have been a bit weird following the Woodstock anniversary?

Similar to what I posted over on the Jim and Sandra's love affair thread, you could title a thread simply "Bush" and nothing else, and the crazies will filter in to rant idiotic about Bush. I swear, do some people have nothing at all to do all day but troll websites looking for keys words, such as "Bush" so they can start their crazy rants about nothing in particular?

Best thread ever?

JESUS, stay classy

BUSH

"3rd String Linebacker says:

So who's this guy?"

2nd String Guard:

I think he won the Vietnam War of somethin'.

My older brother says when he was at UT he used to get shit-faced with his daughter. She's a awesome party-er.

"I can feel it in my bones, fellas. This season is going to be a cake walk. You will be greeted as liberators. Trust me."

Note to everyone - don't try trolling for keyword "Bush" while at work. Just FYI.

'Quit throwing the WAC schedule in my face! It's just a goddamn piece of paper!

Oh c'mon. If they don't direct their anger at Bush, they'll have to think about what a failure Obama has become in only six months, and that's just cruel to make them face reality like that.

Interesting poll report, if in fact polls matter much...

Less than a week in office and people already know how well the President is doing?

Of course they didn't know how well he was doing -- that's why the graphs start out high and then go down as the "new car smell" goes away. It's not like this practice is something that only started with Obama. Were you "enraged" when they ran polls on Bush after his first week?

Bill, I don't think anyone views it as any sort of objective index of job performance. It's just the response to the question, "do you approve of the job the President is doing?" That can be based on anything from "he just started but I know he's going to be the Best Prez Ever" to "he said something that pissed me off this week" to "the stock market went up 250 points" to "I just got fired." Even though it's very subjective, the changes do give you an idea of how the public (or at least a hopefully representative sample thereof) feels about the Prez, for whatever reason. I can see why you might think it's dumb, but if that enrages you, wow, I hope I don't accidentally cut you off in traffic.

Bill, I agree that polls shouldn't be taken too seriously, I'm just not that pissed off about it -- it's not like those numbers, or people's reactions to those numbers, can be used to remove someone from office or force them to change their policies. Hell, if that were true, almost everyone in Congress would be in trouble, given their poll ratings.

Anyway, let's say that Obama's numbers didn't start until February 19. The trend in the graph would basically be the same.

You've gotta look at these polls to see what affects the Great American Herd, it's just a useful tool to understand fellow man.

For instance, if you zoom in on Bush's numbers, they shot up briefly when Cheney shot a lawyer.

You're all missing the point! He saying he loves the Jews.

Don't you moronsd get it or can't you see the forest past the wheelless car propped on cinderblocks in front of your inmovable mobile home? Obama is our president OUR president if we are AMERICANS and believ e in the constitution. The man was left a mess by people who did not know a train tunnel from an asshole. They bragged and pounded their fat hollow chests like Limbaugh. The economy, our wars, our standing in the world was shit and not shinola. WE are coming back. My son tells me that they still put up signs on the streets of London quoting Bush's dumbest idiotic statements just to make post mortum fun of the fool. Could someone please tell me why Bush said "Mission Accomplished," if years later we are still losing soldiers in Iraq and in Aghanistan? hen Obama improves the economy and ends these stupid egoistic wars...will any republican praise him? No! Beacuse they don't live in America. They live in a parallel lala land whose lady gaga Pailin and fat drugdie Limbaugh run the mind of the mindless ditto heads.

"Could someone please tell me why Bush said "Mission Accomplished," if years later we are still losing soldiers in Iraq and in Aghanistan?"

Certainly. The mission was to occupy Iraq and topple the regime those objectives had been achieved, thus the SIGN that read Mission Accomplished.

I wonder how many of the individuals that rail on Bush about the Iraq issue are familiar with operation FOX under the Clinton Administration? How many are familiar with the fact that Clinton wanted to hammer Iraq, but the whole Monica thing made that impossible. Any idea how many UN resolutions Iraq violated or how many times they violated the terms of the cease fire by firing at our planes in the no-fly-zones.

See none of this matters because Bush said WMDs, no WMDs were found and that's it. You know Obama promised to close Gitmo and it is still open, he promised to pull out of Iraq and we are still there, he promised to get all Americans the option to be on the same Healthcare program as Congress and they never even tried to push for that particular reform.

I'm not claiming that Bush43 was great and Obama sucks because we are too close to the issues to make an assessment of that nature. I just wish that people would remember that Bush was our president and Obama IS our president. Both deserve respect at least while in office, but if Bush haters felt OK with tearing down W the entire time he was in office then they shouldn't bitch about Obama haters following their lead. After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
