    Is that like “Bin Laden Determind to Attack America”? or
    “No one ever expected that planes would be flown into the WTC”?
    They lie so often, it is second nature to them now… the lies just roll off their tongues.

    ‘who could have anticipated the we wouldn’t win the war in Iraq in 3 days’.

    ‘Slam/dunk cheney.

    You have to trust the President.

    Close your eyes and relax. Breathe…

    Think of the ocean waves rolling in. Hear the crashing on the beach.

    Now try to imagine that the President is not a liar. Breathe…. Breathe….

    OK, yeah, it’s not working for me either.

    How about:

    “Who would have guessed that Hamas would win the majority in Palistine?”

    These guys are so focused on global domination that they don’t see what is going on around the world.

    I’m sure the CIA will get in the Memory Hole’s files and change the ending.

    #5 and they will change ‘Gone with the Wind’ to: “Frankly Scarlett, I would love to escort you to a Republican fund raiser.”

    August 28th ” we anticapate the breach of the levees ” with Bush in tow via video conference . June 3rd , now this is a direct quote from the liar and cheif himself ” nobody expected the levees to breach ” , and they call the Daily Show fake news .

    ARRGGHH! How many more times does Bush need to insist on doing things his own way against the recommendations of all the experts before he learns his lesson?

    What am I saying??? Learn his lesson? Yeah, that’ll be the day…

    The “no one could have anticipated” line (and variations thereof) has become so trite by now that it’s almost laughable — except for the fact that it’s so patently false and such an obvious CYA maneuver. I think it’s going to be a defining quote for this presidency in much the same way that “Read my lips– NO NEW TAXES!” was for his father’s presidency.


  9. Solitaire says:

    Nobody could have anticipated the demise of the Republican party!

    How’s that sound?


  10. SKdeA says:

    No one could have anticipated Bush’s head on a pike…

    The declaration of dependence

    We, the sheeple, in order to form a better flock, will abide by the rules of the elite so that we should remain loyal to those with better judgement, who have written our history and will write our future. That we will not see, hear or speak evil of those who we owe our continuing existence too and like 9/11 will act as a sheep whose eyes are blinded by the light of our leaders. That it is better to listen and obey than to question the judgement of those who know so much more than us. Just as Able Danger never existed, we can always count on our overseers to tell us the truth.

    Has Bush done anything good ever …Not that I know of


  14. Jericho says:

    If you’d take all the overpaid, corrupt, criminal liars out of politics all over the world, you’d probably have enough wasted and useless human flesh to counter all levee-breaks, mudslides and landslides around the world in the coming 10 centuries.


  15. Preznit Pinhead says:

    I wish Bush would have never sobered up. He prolly wouldn’t have been selected as preznit then.
