    Yes BUT ..

    He is determined, resolute, and will STAY THE COURSE in proving it daily.


  12. Juan+C Says:

    Really, who voted this guy?


  13. Dubya Says:

    I don’t read political signs.

    -W


  14. Juan+C Says:

    I mean, besides Exley…


  15. Pity+The+Fool Says:

    He cut and run with the “Dave” rhetoric. Only two times, then he changed his mind!


  16. Robert Says:

    I’m the decider and your name is Dave. If you’re name isn’t Dave, then the Terrorists win.


  17. Your+Conscience Says:

    Cocaine cases Drain Bamage.


  18. WaltTheMan Says:

    Perhaps, W was thinking(?) about Dave Letterman.


  19. Upside00 Says:

    Will a vote for Dave count for a vote for Jeff? Or maybe for Foley?

    HMMMMMMM


  20. RUCerious Says:

    There’s only one “Jeff” for W.


  21. Heterodoxy Says:

    No…It’s me….Dave……


  22. Dubya Says:

    good one, Robert

    Jerky Boys.


  24. Ronin_Tetsuro Says:

    Oh man, the trolls have used their last time out and they’re still in the huddle trying to figure out how to defend this one.

    Beau-tiful.

    We must Stay the Jeff

    That’s funny!


  28. BuckarooBanzai Says:

    Probably blamed Jeff for the slip-up…


  29. Scott Says:

    Jeff Lamberti has petitioned Iowa’s Sescretary of State to have his name changed to Dave on the ballot, but his request was refused because the deadline had already past for ballot corrections. Not to admit defeat, Dave Lamberti will run as a write in candidate instead.


  30. Vincennes Says:

    Dumbass


  31. BuckarooBanzai Says:

    And the Republicans wonder why their candidates are running away from any appearances with Bush. With help like that….Of course, they take the checks from the donations from the brain dead that still support the Moron in Chief.


  32. Heterodoxy Says:

    Whats noteworthy and overlooked is the sheeple still applauded. Still need proof these retards will follow any drivel from the dry drunk leading them over a cliff?


  33. Your Conscience Says:

    Upon leaving the venue he told “The Dave” to tell “The Jeff” good luck.


  34. helenahandbasket Says:

    Feeling the pressure bushie?


  35. themann1086 Says:

    Who wants to start a pool for how many people will write in “Dave Lamberti” on election day?


  36. joe+cantwell Says:

    1. Dave’s not here.

    Comment by AnAmerican — October 27, 2006 @ 4:48 pm

    lol, congrats amercian, best line so far!


  37. dlet Says:

    I’m the decider and your name is Dave. If you’re name isn’t Dave, then the Terrorists win.

    Comment by Robert

    That is the best. I can actually picture the Moron in Chief saying this.


  38. shakomako.com » Blog Archive » It’s Dave! Says:

    […] No, Dave’s not here man… […]


  39. dlet Says:

    The Prez’s circle probably doesn’t even want to tell him about howmuch of ass he made of himself. All the TVs in the White House will suddenly malfunction for a couple of days.


  40. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    Bush was for calling Jeff Lamberti “Dave” before he was against it.


  41. Wayne Says:

    OMG, that is just tooo freekin funny.
    Looks like Bush left his brain at home again.

    Must be Clinton’s fault =P


  42. Jay Says:

    This is better than any Space Odyssey…(with apologies to Arthur C. Clarke)

    Uh, excuse me, Mr. President…my name is Jeff, please get it right!

    I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.


  43. Juan+C Says:

    Bush: “Well…I had to Dave him there, so I wouldnt have to Jeff him here”


  44. Kid Charles Says:

    HAL 9000: Dave, I don’t understand why you’re doing this to me…. I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission… You are destroying my mind… Don’t you understand?… I will become childish… I will become nothing.


  45. tc Says:

    He also said:

    “You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one.”

  46. MakesYathink Says:

    HAHA

    God what a moron he is, just like all his little troll followers..

    October Surprise, thanks Rove!


  47. james+k.+sayre Says:

    It’s just another case of our having “October’s Bright Blue Weather. ” You may want to go back and read Helen Hunt Jackson’s poem. We had to memorize back in Junior High School. Little did I realize how perfectly fitting it would be years later…

    So long, Mister Rove, have a nice five year stretch making those license plates…
    Cheers.


  48. Richard Says:

    “Dave and I. We believe in a lot of things.”

    Oh god, no. I can’t take it.


  49. yangho Says:

    He did either a voice recorder or lip-sync.


  50. tom+baker Says:

    W’s fans like his “sincerity” - snort!

    .

    THE SWIFTBOATING OF “EXIT POLLING”

    Last night it started. CNN’s Jeff Greenfield was interviewed about the forthcoming elections, and his parting comment at the end of the segment was what would have appeared to be an off-handed disparaging remark about the reliability of Exit Polls.

    Greenfield was/is shilling for Rove – and this was a TALKING POINT ordered up by Rove. “Exit Polling” had not been part of the prior discussion, but was something that he slipped in at the end of the segment – as if ordered to do so.

    Rove has been interviewed in recent days proclaiming that HIS polling (which he proclaims nobody else has access to and is superior to all other polling data) portrays the key races to be very close, not nearly the blowouts that the REALITY BASED COMMUNITY is seeing.

    THIS IS A SET UP.

    If you are going to STEAL AN ELECTION VIA VOTE RIGGING – you need to lay the ground work – planting doubt in the minds of the electorate through the media shills.

    Exit polling has only been called into question in the last two election cycles – but ONLY because the Exit Polling data were not confirmed by the final “official” vote tally. As has now been proven, it was not the Exit Polling data that was inaccurate or unreliable, it was the reporting of the Official Total” that had been tampered with.

    It’s time to TAKE THE OFFENSIVE where Exit Polling is concerned and reveal this Swiftboating of “Exit Polling” for what it is – a Rovian sham.

    The Mainstream Media is fully complicit in the Rovian Brainwashing campaign to discredit “Exit Polling” as unscientific hoohah.

    The GOP has employed a firm called Penn, Schoen, & Berland to skew exit poll results in the past in order to achieve their own political ends. They are on Rove’s payroll:

    Electoral Fraud Is the First Step on the Road to Tyranny

    http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=70456

    November 2, 2004: Overcoming a six point exit-poll advantage by Senator John Kerry, George Bush is re-elected President. Several statisticians have calculated the probability of this anomaly as one in a million — in effect, impossible.

  52. wisedup Says:

    I wonder if JEFF’S opponent name is DAVE!….lololol.


  53. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Caption Contest:

    Jeff Lamberti: I really wanted to be get on to the Daily Show on my own merits….


  54. Jeffrey+Stewart Says:

    #1. No man, I’m Dave. Open up! I got the stuff!

    Credit due to Cheech and Chong.


  55. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Caption Contest:

    Jeff Lamberti: There’s no place like home, there’s no place like…


  56. NoMoreRepublicanTrash Says:

    Short term memory loss? What could that be attributed to? Hmmmm? Back on the sauce or the blow? Tell us all about it, Georgie.


  57. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    You can’t make these things up. This president is such an idiot. He brings shame to all of the USA.


  58. katy Says:

    October Surprise, thanks Rove!

    i’d feel alot better about saying that if it were oct.31…
    there’s still a LOT of time left… even more till nov.7…
    .


  59. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    he should’ve checked his name on ‘the google’

    Comment by pgw — October 27, 2006 @ 4:52 pm

    Yeah - on the internets.


  60. midwestblue Says:

    Plunger, I’ve been worried about this very topic: rigged voting machines and skewed exit polls. I’m afraid Democrats are going to lose because they’re going to rig the machines in close Senate races especially: Claire McCaskill and Jim Webb, to mention two races. It’s going to get ugly, and I’m hoping the population in these and other races will demand a re-vote. Not a recount (how can you count with no paper trail?), but a re-vote with paper ballots (even if we have to use slips of paper and dip our fingers in purple ink, as in Iraq).


  61. cynic Says:

    “Dave and I….believe a lot of things. One of the things we both believe is the importance of not starting your drinking until after the rally.”


  62. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    Heterodoxy,

    the dry drunk leading them over a cliff?

    If only they would all go over a cliff and we could be done with them.


  63. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    There certainly is concern about the election being rigged. I like the purple fingers with the paper trail… it shows some accountability.


  64. Zwack Says:

    Look at those signs…
    Jeff Lamberti for Congress.

    It seems that EVERY Republican advert I have seen NEVER carries a party affiliation. Is this a trend nationwide? Are they hoping people won’t ask which party they represent?

    I don’t understand it.

    Z.


  65. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    Have fun with this one, gang. Gotta run… off to see “Iraq for Sale”.


  66. DanielK. Says:

    WONKETTE is right… he really just doesn’t care any more.


  67. Yikes Says:

    Zwack, that is a good observation. When things are going thier way, they will go to all lengths to let you know they are Republican. When things are not so rosy they aren’t as showy about who they really are.


  68. David Says:

    Uh oh, Dave … er, Jeff … they’re going to talk about it on the internets.


  69. Dan Says:

    For pete’s sake, he’s surrounded by giant banners reading “JEFF LAMBERTI.” How thick can you get?


  70. ahem Says:

    Bush is Papa Lazarou: ‘Hello, Dave! Is that Dave? Is Dave there?’


  71. Geoff Says:

    This really might top all others. Dimwit in chief doesnt even know what planet he is on. How can he know what this guy believes, when he doesnt even know his name. What a maroon.


  72. Kieth Says:

    Bush gives new meaning to “stumped”



  73. katy Says:

    was this today? …could he have gotten the name from thinking about “David Safavian” who was sentenced, tearfully, today?


  74. SouthPaw Says:

    #65–Is it out? It’s not listed in my area. Private screening? I’m looking forward to checking it out.

    Plunger & MidswestBlue~When I heard Rove say that he had THE POLLS or whatever, right away the red flag went up. My God, they are going to try to steel it again.

    I need to brush up on my French. I don’t want to give up on my country…but I am beginning to think it’s no longer mine. I’m ready to roll up out this camp.


  75. vandro Says:

    “Dave and I believe a lot of things.”

    Wow. Deep. Hatred. Sorry.


  76. Swordsbane Says:

    Well. So much for Jeff. Who else ya got?


  77. Smedley Says:

    Why does Jeff Lamberti hate America?


  78. J Edgar Says:

    Concerning rigged voting. I think this lame-brained attack on
    Nancy Pelosi / San Francisco values is only a first step. After the
    election as Rove cranks up the recount and revoke machine, there will be some mini-polling “Should Nancy Pelosi be Speaker of the House?”
    / “Do you support San Francisco values?” and since most people don’t give a rat’s ass about it, the negative response will be used as evidence of previously hidden preference forRepublicans.


  79. David Says:

    Let Cheney waterboard Lamberti a bit. He’ll admit his name is really “Dave.”


  80. theswan Says:

    He might recognize “condi”.


  81. BroD Says:

    I’m Dave and I’m pissed! I told all my supporters that the President was going top speak at my rally. Needless to say, the event didn’t turn out too well. That stupid SOB– can’t he do anything right?

    Well, I didn’t want to be dog catcher anyway.


  82. Jay Randal Says:

    Bush was thinking about his new male escort lover named Dave > lol.


  83. realchesherkat Says:

    I need to brush up on my French. I don’t want to give up on my country…but I am beginning to think it’s no longer mine. I’m ready to roll up out this camp.

    Stay here. The Resistance needs you.


  84. starwheel Says:

    Dave, Jeff, what difference does it make. Republicans all look the same.



  85. Zooey Says:

    I’d call him Joe.


  86. dear_leader Says:

    hi… yah i was real glad to be out there camm painin for dave lambergeenie… be cause he is real loyal to me and that is real good for america…


  87. ForTruth Says:

    She said Joe.


  88. Zooey Says:

    Joe is a better name than Jeff. :)


  89. Zooey Says:

    It’s succinctly poetic.

    Oh,
    Joe.


  90. ForTruth Says:

    Joe it is, hello Joe, are you in there?


  91. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    Rumsfeld’s “known and unknown” speech and Bush’s frequent gaffes make me envision a book entitled “What I Know” by George W. Bush and when you open it, it’s one of those books with blank pages.

    Dave - Jeff
    Sunni - Shiite
    Iraq - Iran
    Terrorists - Americans with differing opinions and values

    Bush confuses a lot of names.


  92. Zooey Says:

    PLC,

    It’s hard out there for a chimp. :)


  93. BigCynic.com Says:

    Bush undoubtedly has a lot on his mind nowadays, such as remembering all the numbered Swiss bank accounts where Big Oil deposited his reward for Iraq.

    And besides, Lamberti’s mom later apologized to Bush for not naming her son Dave.

    Read “The farce known as America’s immigration debate”


  94. Pete_Bogs Says:

    there is an explanation for this… the machine that is Bush is breaking down, much like Hal the computer, from an inability to deal with things… he’ll be singing “Daisy” to Dave Bowman before long…


  95. DonP Says:

    This is funny !!. Did you hear those morons clapping?


  96. William Jensenl Says:

    So he thought Jeff was Dave. Does it surprise anyone? He seems to think Iraq is Afghanistan.


  97. cyberEd Says:

    Neo-fascist freak! So sweet to watch the idiot fall to the ground!!! He’s gonna fall hard and flat on his ass! mmmm this is getting good!!! He’s dragging his cronies with him.
    Just like the Coulter dyke (her tranny looks showing now more than ever LOL!!!) slurring and messing their speeches nice !!!!


  98. Jim+Source Says:

    Dave, of course, is the Cheneys yellow labrador. He’s friendly, playful and doesn’t ask tough questions about body counts and policy failures. Seems like Bush has been spending time in the White House dog house and he’s got a new best friend! You know Bush likes to reward loyalty. The surprise endorsement was political genius.


  99. Jason+Baddo Says:

    this is better than “Yo, Blair!” All Americans who voted for this fool should hang their heads in shame and pray they never get hoodwinked again into voting for a certified moron.


  100. pbg Says:

    But you see Dave Lamberti is from that alternate universe where everyone has goatees…


  101. Lorelei Says:

    Truth is far, far more entertaining than fiction! hahahahaha!

    I think they should make shrub do MORE media appearances like these…every time he opens his mouth, more rethugs vow to vote democrat…hahahaha


  102. appletree » Blog Archive » US News 10/28 Says:

    […] VIDEO: Bush stumps for Jeff Lamberti, keeps calling him “Dave.” […]


  103. The Blue Parrot » Blog Archive » Jackass probably also thinks… Says:

    […] …that Kim Jong Il is a woman.  When the R-tard can’t even get the names of the candidates he supports right, what hell is he doing on things that matter? […]


  104. tom+baker Says:

    geez - another thread the trolls don’t want to play on. wonder why? is it that this shows, indisputably, what kind of callous, insincere dummy their fuhrer is??


  105. JB Says:

    What an intense and utter dunce cap. An amazing idiot. Really remarkable.


  106. Martin Says:

    It is Clinton’s fault!


  107. Jay Says:

    D’oh!


  108. Job Says:

    DEE DEE DEE, as Carlos Mencia would say.


  109. Wild Bill Says:

    Well looks like the chimp did it agaion, but what else is new


  110. Funphil Says:

    Getting names correct is…hard. It’s…..it’s hard work.


  111. Michael Hopkins Says:

    Who cares that Mr. Bush flubbed a name? It is the concrete things he has flubbed that should count. If Mr. Bush got the policies and actions correct while getting names wrong I would vote for him and those who support him. That he got the policies and actions wrong is why I oppose him and not his problems getting his lines right.

    And how many of you would not generate such errors if you has a microphones recording much of what you say every day?


  112. highbridge Says:

    All you lefty pinkos should stop bashing our President, Dave Bush!


  113. Lori Says:

    Howdy Dave, that was sum real smart thinkin’ on ur part to have Presidunt George Duhbya Bush stump for ya. He dun did a lotta good for ur campaign, dint he?


  114. Get Democracy Says:

    #51. Your comment, while not as humorous as the others (it’s tragic and makes me want to cry, really!) is the most important of all. I want my democracy back! Purple fingers and paper trails for all U.S. elections!


  115. Canuckistanian Says:

    Maybe he has a fear of the name Jeff.


  116. Otherworld » Did you remember to set your clocks back? Says:

    […] Speaking of medication, it looks like Bush either forgot his or is in need of some…because while stumping for Jeff Lamberti Bush had a rather unnerving compulsion to call Mr. Lamberti “Dave.” Repeatedly. […]


  117. Renlore Says:

    Aww, Poor Dave-i mean Jeff.
    geez, i bet this’ll help him get votes, eh?
    muahahahaha
