    Well then, he should fit in quite nicely.


  2. Joanie Doe ®™ says:

    Does Hastert know that this man also believes in ” lite ” cooking?
    Hastert needs to be told that the pastries are down to 230,000 calories each with this new guy.

    Let them eat cake!


  4. Joanie Doe ®™ says:

    Is this the same dude who authored,

    ” Being President for Dummies”


  5. Your Conscience says:

    How serendipitous, Bush is currently reading Desert for Dummies.


  6. michaels_mom says:

    I co-authored that, after spending years baking for michael! I really shouldn’t have swigged so much rum, making those cakes when I was pregnant. I’ve done brain damaged my poor boy into a retarded republican! Shame on me!


  7. E_I says:

    Hahahaha. Not as good as Jesus For Dummies, but still funny.


  8. OxyCon says:

    I bet Yosses has included recipes for many of Bush’s favorite desserts.
    I hear the dummy really likes Hunt’s snackpack chocolate pudding.

    This book just proves that you don’t have to be smart to become leader of the free world. twice.

    I guess the joke flew past your heads…

    Desserts for Dummies = Desserts for Bush = Bush is a Dummie

    You guys are dense :)

    I believe that was the alternate title for the ISG report.


  13. Publicus says:

    Yeah, the book title is an easy joke; but I like a good dessert regardless of the chef’s politics.

    I bet this first-class chef is no dummy. No, Sir! No, Sir!, No, Sir! I also bet this chef runs the White House kitchen like a boot camp. Yes, Sir! No, Sir! No doubt, it’s one smooth military operation. Not that we’re used to seeing smooth military operations with this administration. No, Sir.

    BTW, what great Paris, New York, or Washington D. C. chef wouldn’t have a seven-day supply of whip cream in the fridge.

    How convenient for Dubya, when JEFF PAID A VISIT to the White House.

    Or:

    DUBYA PAID FOR THE VISIT. Whatever!

    White House desserts must be delicious. Bone apetit. Ain’t that the word? We Southerners don’t know them fancy words.

  20. Joanie Doe ®™ says:

    How fitting he co authored the Deserts for Dummies Book and is now going to actaully be living his dream out in making them for George Bush.

    I wonder if Laura is casting a wicked smile somewhere in the White House tonight?

    Maybe she was the one who had something to do with
    ” choosing ” this dude for the job knowing full well he wrote that book.

    Personal ” unspoken jab ” for Laura.


  21. ForTruth says:

    Yeah Yeah, cookin’ is fun.


  22. John Gilpins says:

    Talk about a dummy.

    I can’t even spell whipped cream. I’m tired! Whip cream is how Dubya would spell it.

    I need to buy that book at the National Mall.

  23. Jay Randal says:

    Well Bush is a dummy, so he needs a pastry chief who can treat him like a dummy > lol.


  24. Jay Randal says:

    And feed Bush dummy desserts too.


  25. The Fool says:

    As soon as they saw that book on the dude’s resume they knew he had precisely the expert qualifications necessary for the job.



  26. Mr. Evil says:

    No doubt where the inspiration for this book came from.


  27. Jay Randal says:

    I bet this pastry chef takes Coolwhip and mixes it with Jello and calls it something French > lol. Bush would not know the difference between real desserts and concocted crap. I used to own a Coffee Shop and Dessert Bar, so I had to make many of the desserts myself. I bet my own desserts are far better than a pastry chef who wrote “Desserts for Dummies.”


  28. TonyC says:

    Boy, is he ever in the right place!!!!!


  29. Bruce Gorton says:

    That…

    Is actually kinda cool.


  30. dlet says:

    Imagine being the pastry chef for Bush. All you have to do is stock up on Snickers and kick back posting comments at TP. He would think you were amazing and ask you how you make that nooget and get them peanuts in there.


  31. Technodaoist says:

    Not sure if anyone pointed this out yet, but his co-authorship of this book makes him QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB!!!!

    The Prez got one right! Of course the fact its his pastry (a French word) chef only goes to illustrate that Arbusto only understands how important background, experience, and expertise when they directly affect him or his gastro tract…


  32. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    I would really like the Dummy in the White House (yes, Deniz Yeter, I think we all got the joke) to get his just desserts.


  33. RUCerious says:

  34. jeff says:

    Hey! Let’s make fun of an accomplished chef who had the audacity to share his knowledge in a way that everyone from the single man or woman to the accomplished cook can understand! Hooray! Another opportunity to use something that means nothing as a way to make fun of our President! GREAT!
    Let’s make fun of the chef, say the president likes snak packs (that’s relevant AND funny), make fun of the President liking Snickers (along with millions of us – are WE all stupid too?)

    “Desserts for Dummies = Desserts for Bush = Bush is a Dummie”

    I get it. So when I read ‘Windows XP for Dummies’ that would work out how?
    Oh, right.
    Windows XP for dummies = Windows XP for Jeff= Jeff is a dummy.
    Brilliant.
    You turds need to be smacked in the head for being petty, dissillusioned morons.

    ‘Think Progress’?
    I think that the truth bears out that you don’t think progress, you just think ‘Bash Bush’.
    Shame on all of you.
    This is not only not funny, but indicitive of how petty, small, and stupid you morons really are…..


  35. RUCerious says:

    Jeff – boo f’in hoo.
    When it comes to small, ptty morons, look to your commander in chymp.
    Oh, and Dick says
    “Go fyck yourself”.

    Comment by jeff — January 30, 2007 @ 10:48 am

    Well, if a Bush needs bashing why should I stand in the way? Why shouldn’t I help out?

    HE’S COMPLETELY PH*CKED THIS ENTIRE NATION!!!

    The don’t say that the REAL reason he left was that Dubya got
    “RARE”
    “MEDIUM”
    “WELL-DONE”

    Syrian-made BBQ steak-branding irons from Rumsfeld

    Spread Love…
    … but wear the Glove!
