The Emperor's Wizdum - New Bushisms:

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Friday January 20, 2006 13:32author by charles meckenmann Report this post to the editors

- Never forget: this man is leading the worlds´ only superpower -

Woman in audience asks: 'I don't really understand. How is the new plan going to fix the problem?'
President George W. Bush responds:

"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to that has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, supposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red."

Read the excerpt. And then read the entire transcript. It's hard to fathom it is this man's word that we are asked by our Government to believe. Enough to turn anybody to vodoo or black magic.
For a corollary also refer to my little stry published today entitled 'Democracy here we come'.

Here ya go:

"I loved history, and pursued a diversified course of study. I like to think of it as the academic road less traveled. For example, I took a class that studied Japanese Haiku. Haiku, for the uninitiated, is a 15th- century form of poetry, each poem having 17 syllables. Haiku is fully understood only by the Zen masters. As I recall, one of my academic advisors was worried about my selection of such a specialized course. He said I should focus on English. I still hear that quite often. Buy my critics don't realize I don't make verbal gaffes. I'm speaking in the perfect forms and rhythms of ancient Haiku." 21 May, 2001

Scary, ain't it?

Very amusing - to state the obvious - that Bush is a puppet moron. Why not state what is really scary, the Jewish ideologues that control the puppet.

No doubt this should attract more 'distractors' screaming, anti-semite! [another distracting political ploy.]

Indy is emulating the mass media - either an identity crisis or subversion.
