“I would suggest moving back,”
By on Jan 30th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
“I would suggest moving back,”
Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor during his visit to a Caterpillar factory today. “I’m about to crank this sucker up.” Newsweek notes, “As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety. ‘Get out of the way!’ a news photographer yelled. ‘I think he might run us over!’ said another. … Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.”

Still the insecure little bully throwing his weight around.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:27 pmIs anyone surprised? Bush the Sociopath at the controls of a tractor isnt’ nearly as scary as Bush the Sociopath with his finger on the nucleark button. Think about it.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:29 pmCaligula must play his little games.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:29 pmSurely we could sacrifice one reporter (someone like Bill Kristol,perhaps) to the Bush Death machine, so that we can Impeach him for all the other people he is responsible for murdering…
I mean, come on, the Evangelical White House is all for sacrifices… And in this case, it would only take one fat, rich, white guy to set things in motion…
January 30th, 2007 at 6:30 pmGeez. It was just a joke. It has all been (and will continue to be) just one big joke. That’s what Noel Sheppard wishes we all would understand.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:30 pmIs this thing armored up?
January 30th, 2007 at 6:33 pmWait til he invites over his buddies from the press to toss the nuclear football around.
Now that’s gonna be some fun.

WE NEED A VIDEO!!! DOes anyone have a clip of this?????
January 30th, 2007 at 6:36 pmAnd the GOP crucified Michael Dukakis for driving a tank?
January 30th, 2007 at 6:37 pmStupid is as stupid does.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:38 pmRegarding Bush’s “jokes”
January 30th, 2007 at 6:38 pmEverything this slob does boils down to, basically, his middle finger. This is the one he offers to the American people and our Constitution. He is not funny. He is not intelligent. He has no class. And………..joking will not cancel out the truth or allow him to successfully own/reframe/ redefine reality. He can joke all he wants…a pig is still a pig.
Too bad shooter wasn’t standing in front of Nero Jr.. I doubt his reflexes would get him out of the way quick enough, due to his heart condition and all…….
January 30th, 2007 at 6:39 pmIt’s official, our president is insane.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:43 pmCan we just give him a tractor to play with? And an adult can do the Presiding.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:45 pmAh, the towel-snapping of a tiny brain’s synapses.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:49 pmThis photo op appears to be metaphor for the way the guy operates.
What a perfect metaphor for a spoiled wastrel who has never cared for consequences of his actions.
and what an ass!
January 30th, 2007 at 6:52 pm..how did the Shrub Police Escort die in Hawaii again?
January 30th, 2007 at 6:54 pmLOL,
no love lost between Bush, and the press. I would think the fratboy side of the president would have loved this moment.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:59 pmWhat a dick.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:02 pmThat Bush ditty needs to be added to the:
January 30th, 2007 at 7:04 pm“GOP Quotes of the Week, Cheney Implosion Edition.”
Goddamn it! Don’t let this fool play with grownup toys!
January 30th, 2007 at 7:07 pmHow many times do we have to tell you!
Shhheeeeessshhh!
D’ya think the clip will make it to the next volume of “Dry Drunks Driving Wildly”?
January 30th, 2007 at 7:09 pm“I would suggest moving back”? That sounds way too eloquent for Bush. I would’ve expected something along the lines of “Get out of my way, or I’ll squish you.”
January 30th, 2007 at 7:13 pmyea, I remember playing with trucks when I was a kid too…
January 30th, 2007 at 7:13 pmi’ll bet ya someone was hurt because of his actions… of
course that wasn’t mentioned
this… this thing needs an adjustment to his prescription
medication because of his impulsive, dangerous decisions
along with poor judgement.
and this guy is steering 100 of 1000’s to iraq with his
corrupt buddies.
enough to make you PUKE~
January 30th, 2007 at 7:18 pmSuch is the way George Bush affects his stupid life and anyone else’s with whom the fool comes into contact. If he hadn’t been born into the family he has been, he would have been the town idiot and drunk. Hey -Come to think of it…
January 30th, 2007 at 7:21 pmWHAT A TOTAL FU#@ING PSYCHOPATH. THE BLOOD SUCKER THINGS KILLING PEOPLE FOR NO GOOD REASON IS FUNNY!
January 30th, 2007 at 7:24 pmGood god, why do they let that idiot around heavy machinery?
January 30th, 2007 at 7:27 pmIsn’t he deadly enough?
I must confess I was hoping one of the Stenographers, er…I mean Press, was injured. They are pretty useles anyway.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:33 pmWow ….He sures knows have a good ole time while our boys are dying over in Iraq.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:33 pmNUCKING FUTS!
BUCK FUSH!
January 30th, 2007 at 7:34 pmMost “normal” people do not exhibit this behavior when getting aboard a fresh piece of equipment they have never operated before.
(1). ‘Get out of the way!’ a news photographer yelled. ‘I think he might run us over!’ said another.
(2). Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor.
(3). “As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety.
(4). Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.â€
(Conclusion). Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed.
This is NOT a normal response from a sane and rational person. No sane or rational person would get on a Caterpillar bulldozer, a D10 no less, ( The really HUGE ones ) and not be apprehensive or the least bit cautious with such a massively proportioned piece of heavy equipment. It just isn`t normal. And to laugh no less as well.
This President has a mental illness or a mental defect of some sort. The first thing a rational and sane person would do is display at least some degree of caution and be humbled by the sheer size of the bulldozer. (D-10s, They are HUGE )
Not George Bush. Pedal to the medal, not a care in sight, laughing hysterically at the pandemonium he has created below.
I bet he used to melt his plastic army men together too after dropping a ” firebomb ”
Laughing the whole time hysterically of course.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:35 pmoff the wagon?
January 30th, 2007 at 7:36 pmWhere is the video?
January 30th, 2007 at 7:36 pmIs there any doubt now that Bush is back on booze and coke?
January 30th, 2007 at 7:38 pmYou have not heeded my words.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:42 pmI died once for your sins.
See what you have begat?
Sounds like he operates heavy machinery like he operates in office: for his own personal thrill and with reckless disregard for anything.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:53 pmCountdown special comment scheduled tonight. They have usually been passionate - and daring - in truth.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pm#36 You have not heeded my words.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:59 pmI died once for your sins.
See what you have begat? Comment by Christ
This is a site dedicated to “progressively thinking. In this pluralistic society its extremely important to show some modicum of respect if we are to achieve understanding and the goal of progress, and thus realization of a greater humanity. Perhaps you might choose a screen name that exemplifies this effort. But, heh, its a free country.
OK, it’s pretty clear now…..
January 30th, 2007 at 8:10 pmBush is Nucking Futs!!!
Someone should hve yelled to him to start digging 3000 graves with that machine.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:13 pmWe should expect hotdogging like that from the White House weiner in chief.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:24 pmHe must be terribly under-average in certain areas because he certainly tries to demonstrate his masculinity.
What a jerk. What a cretin. What a moron.
Can’t poppy just buy him a fleet of humongous construction equipment (to replace the equipment he must be very short on) and let junior play in the back yard.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:27 pmI can’t help but point out that Bush broke the law upon “cranking this sucker up.”
You need a special license to operate heavy machinery.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:38 pmOMG!! And THIS is our President?? OMG!! How can any sane, rational person do something like this and then LAUGH? OMG!! We are so screwed!!! I wished I still drank, I’d get loaded. But I ain’t killing 12 years of sobriety.
At least I am sober. I sure as hell don’t think Bush is though.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:41 pmThe main thing I wonder is why Nancy Pelosi dismissed any possibility of impeachment of Bush just before the mid-term elections this past November. This latest childish example of Bush run amok is just another reason why he needs to be gone. Impeached along with Dick(head) Cheney, indicted for crimes against humanity, tried, convicted, evicted and then jailed, forever!
I would just hope that the country continues to awaken to this crass boob and demand his ouster. He is spiraling down into the bottomless abyss of his megalomania and is becoming even more dangerous as the days count down of his presidency (or the rapture which I’m sure he’s anxiously awaiting at any given moment).
We need to start bombarding our representatives and all other elected officials with emails demanding his immediate impeachment and subsequent removal from office forthwith.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:46 pmDid he run over Laura? Is Dick OK? Where’s Tony?
January 30th, 2007 at 8:48 pmWell - Geeze… I can HOPE, can’t I?
Next week some toy company will be coming out with a
January 30th, 2007 at 8:53 pmGeorge Doublewhew Bullshovelor
Heavy Deficit Operator action figure.
Bulldozer sold seperately.
again…. bushs action points towards impulsive, dangerous actions
and yes it was meant as a joke… the likelihood of others injury or
death increased. THAT IS WHAT YOU EXPECT A INEXPERIENCED
YOUTH to exhibit NOT a experienced middle age leader and it proves
his diregard that if he injures and killed someone he doesn’t think
that far…. just like the first time someone drives a car with absolutely
clueless to learn a lesson afterwards… bush has a ranch, so he is
probably experienced enough, so it must likely was a joke.
AND THIS GUY SAYS HE’S GOING TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL IS WANTS
TO 21,000 MORE TROOPS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
obviously totally incompetent
January 30th, 2007 at 8:55 pmI’m sure we can persuade the Honorable Madam Speaker to cooperate heed the will of the people.
January 30th, 2007 at 8:57 pmShe is conducting herself in the proper form, and waiting for the decision to come from the ground up, and then responding to the wishes of the electorate.
That, if we all can remember, is how Democracy operates…….
freebird9,
Why waste such an accomplishment on that bozo?
:P
Good for you. (your sobreity)
How are you?
January 30th, 2007 at 9:00 pmOnce again, Keith Olbermann’s special comment, was right on the mark regarding bully-boy Bush and his whimsy during the SOTU address. Why we continue to allow this lying, babbling fool to remain in office is beyond me.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:03 pm#32- I agree with Joanie Doe. This is not normal. I can’t imagine my husband or any other person I know doing such a wierd thing. I’ve been thinking lately, too: if Bush is truly a sociopath, he may enjoy having a hand in the killing of human beings.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:06 pmIt WILL be told in future years, that the president did indeed have some sort of mental issue. Be it a side effect of the drugs, his stressful conditions… SOMETHING has made him go crazy, and with the power that he has, with no one to tell him ‘no’, he is getting worse and worse and worse.
It began with giving the middle finger on a TV program as governor, wiping his own crap off on a ladies dress during a taping of Letterman, dropping his dog, flipping the finger AGAIN at reporters when heading back in the WH, getting locked inside the room he spoke to reporters in, thinking it was okay to joke to a reporter about sun glasses, giving women back rubs who don’t ask for it…
George W. Bush, I believe has something certifiably messed up in his head. Even if he were just a down home southerner like he claims (even though his father was head of the CIA, vice president, and then president… and Bush Jr himself had his own baseball team, and oil company) even if he WERE just that down home boy, a guy like that would still be more respectful, and less insane than this president is or has ever been, or ever will be.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:08 pm44: Al Capone got arrested for failure to report income. A relatively small crime compared to his list of crimes. One could only hope that Bush’s unraveling could start with the offense of operating heavy equipment (like a dumbass) without a license. He has committed many crimes of greater severity, but I would settle for anything to stop his spree.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:12 pmIf there were news photogs present, where’s the video?
January 30th, 2007 at 9:12 pmseriously. what a douche bag.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:16 pmMy, my, my! Doesn’t mommie’s little precious look all cute
January 30th, 2007 at 9:19 pmand grownup on that thing! I wonder why, with his penchant
for dressing up, he didn’t put on a hard hat and strap on a tool belt.
Pehaps he’s decided against perpetuating the “Village People” look
that he cultivated on that flight deck four years ago. That’s our
President. The eternal punk. Sheeeshhh…
Not that I much care for them, but can you imagine the Right Wing® uproar that there would be, if John Kerry or Howard Dean would have done this?
January 30th, 2007 at 9:26 pmI am doing good, trueblue, doing good. Thanks for asking. Eating right and trying not to smoke cigs. I won’t drink, but Bush makes me want to. That man is crazy.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:26 pmfreebird9,
January 30th, 2007 at 9:30 pmGood. :)
Keep up the good work.
Nice to here from you.
hear!
January 30th, 2007 at 9:33 pmDuh!
Reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode where Frank Burns tried to drive a tank… does this make this an example of life imitating art?
January 30th, 2007 at 9:34 pmWhat a cutup!
January 30th, 2007 at 9:40 pmDid he wear a lampshade on his head?
Life of the Frat House, that’s our boy.
Only a bunch of press corps types would be dumb enought not to back up when Bush told them. They are obviously clueless when it come to safety around big equipment like a D10. The like of sight of a D10 is at least 50ft. foward of the plow!…so if those guys wouldn’t heed a warning oh well….
January 30th, 2007 at 9:44 pmReminds me of a M*A*S*H episode where Frank Burns tried to drive a tank… does this make this an example of life imitating art?

You hit the nail on the head.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:44 pmIf only he could have pancaked a protester with the bulldozer. That would have really made his day.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:48 pmTracy,
He isn’t licensed to drive it.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:49 pmHe shouldn’t have taken the controls.
zooey, fortruth, liberal in newmexico, and the rest of the regulars
i love this place; i’ve been scanning TP for a couple months now and just realized how enjoyable (and a great distraction from my grey cube) the “comment” chains are.
my day starts like this: drop wife at work, drop two year old off at day care; come into work and sit in my cubicle where I coordinate services for the elderly; turn on computer; read z articles; check chomsky sitefor news; visit dem. now! site; read online NY times to find out what kind of corporate blabber/spin is put on the news or left out altogether; check out TP and now get lost in all the comments.
(don’tworry, i still make sure all the poor old folks are getting what they need, but my paperwork is piling high).
I notice that some hard core rush limbaugh types visit who tend to have little wit and not much ability to form coherent or meaningful arguments (trolls?). Would be nice to see an intelligent conservative in here to liven things up (not really sure that exists - at least one with a solid ability to engage in intelligible arguments). Although in the global warming thread I did see the appearance of Saixon or some strange alien name, who seemed to be eloquent and hard to categorize.
Any how, this tractor posting really made me laugh for the pure absurdity of it. How ever I don’t think it really gives much substance on what is really wrong with George Bush.
cheers
January 30th, 2007 at 9:50 pmFurther proof that our president frat boy is a sociopath. Latent tendencies to hurt/kill other people. Laughs when talking about executions. Wants to send 21000 soldiers into hand to hand combat with less equipment than necessary. He likes to pretend to be the tough guy, the maverick (top gun), the decider.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:53 pmHe is in need of psychotherapy at the least.
Drivin’ towards the North American Union & the Amero!
Go GW!
January 30th, 2007 at 9:54 pmTo all those people who suggest that Bush intended this stunt as a joke…I wouldn’t be quite so certain of that. Perhaps it’s the heavy emphasis my psychology professors placed on Freudian theory — but I’m personally of the opinion that mean-spirited “humor” such as that frequently evidenced by George W. Bush is a subtle and indirect form of expressing hostility. How often do people such as this excuse a spiteful remark by saying “I was only joking” when there was nothing remotely humorous about what they said? The reason why they do this is because they don’t have the courage to express the hostility honestly and openly for fear of what the consequences would be for doing so. By expressing the hostility indirectly in the name and guide of “humor”, they can both attack their target guerilla-fashion and deny making an attack at the same time — in fact, the aggressor may even try to claim that they are being attacked if their target sees through the masquerade and calls them on it. Sometimes the person who resorts to this kind of “humor” is consciously aware of their own hostility and may even use this kind of humor deliberately — but sometimes, the person is either not aware or not fully aware that they do this and will vehemently deny it when confronted. In this case, I don’t think that Bush consciously and deliberately drove the tractor towards the reporters — but I do believe that he harbors a lot of hostility and resentment towards the press, and that this was manifested in his actions. It explains the laughter…why else would he laugh about the possibility of steering towards the reporters and making them scramble to safety unless he was deriving petty enjoyment on some level from hounding them (or even possibly from the idea of running someone over)? Bush may dismiss this as a joke, but I sincerely doubt that anyone in the press was laughing.
January 30th, 2007 at 9:55 pmI would say that puts it all in a nutshell, don’t you think?
January 30th, 2007 at 9:59 pmand trying not to smoke cigs. I won’t drink, but Bush makes me want to. That man is crazy.
Comment by freebird9 — January 30, 2007 @ 9:26 pm
hang in, freebird9… i feel the same way…
January 30th, 2007 at 10:00 pmi have no desire to smoke the cigs anymore, but i sure do think about wanting to drink… stay strong… it’ll pass…
The story is an apt metaphor for Bush’s abuse of power in all areas. He’ll run you over for the sheer joy of it; “because he can.”
January 30th, 2007 at 10:01 pmApart from being a sociopath and not having a shred of empathy in his entire being, he truly believes that nothing would happen to him if he ran over some reporters. He’s the emperor. He’s never had to pay any consequences for his behavior before. And, if Cheney can get away with shooting a guy in the face, surely it’s okay for Bush to run over a few people and crush them to death. No big.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:07 pmSo you basically screw around all day on the internet….right?
January 30th, 2007 at 10:07 pmcheers

Hey KarlX, thanks for the nice words. I’m glad we help make your grey cube a little brighter. Welcome!
Sorry, I really didn’t mean to summon the Seixon, the Norwegian Hall Monitor (TM). Those poor penguins…
January 30th, 2007 at 10:14 pm…check out TP and now get lost in all the comments…
it can be addicting… welcome…
that was a nice introduction… your candor is refreshing…
I don’t think it really gives much substance on what is really wrong with George Bush.

On the Bush suppressing the scientists thread. Toward the end. I didn’t mean to summon him…

what’s his deal?
January 30th, 2007 at 10:29 pmAh Zoo is here - sorry Zooey that is. Thought there was a TP boycott on again that I missed.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:33 pmThe guy acts like a twelve year old, irresponsible bully, then he smirks. There has to be a way to get him and Cheney in a field with 12 gauge shotguns, film at eleven.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:40 pmNow the press will start carring surface to surface missiles.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:43 pmbtw, peoria is my home town… born there, moved away at 5, but would return each summer for a week or two spent at nana’s house…
always a christmas visit…
i kept up the christmas visits with my own kids, usually an overnighter with a pool… always loved to visit that town… even lived there for a short time…
the best part is the drive going in, from the east (just after passing the huge cat plant), down that long hill, with the river and the city below…
really is beautiful…
… caterpillar pretty much built peoria… i think a big part, at least…
my mom worked there after high school. as a secretary… she was discouraged from a college education and married a hot shot navy lieutenant very soon after he came home from the war in the pacific…
knowing my cousin, he was probably in the crowd of local brass… some kind of council person…
ah well… guess karlx may have started something….
feeling all mushy now… heh…
almost time for the daily show… i saw a tiny part of keith’s SPECIAL COMMENT earlier and know i’ll be up late to catch the whole thing…
later…

Crap, all I had time for was mentioning the name and the penguin slaughter, and then there he was like the lutefisk phantom.
That guy — I don’t want to say his name — thinks he knows f*ck everything about global warming, but he’s really just a pompous ass.

Awww, you missed me. :-D
I’ve been at school all day, and now I’m decompressing on TP, and driving the Welcome Wagon to KarlX’s house.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:48 pmNice little violent Psychopathic behavior being played out, if it’s as bad as it sounds, and was reported correctly. Psychopaths motto: “If they start to question you, kill them, or at least threaten them with death.” ….I think it won’t be long before president Bush is behind bars or put in a mental health facility.

That’s interesting, Karl. How are you commenting from the future? :)
By the way — Tracy is a troll.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:51 pmkaty, that was a nice little piece of apple pie Americana
January 30th, 2007 at 10:53 pmAha, TP has fallen down a wormhole again. The timing of the odd post at the end of the thread is repeated on the other threads. The Bush Pressures Scientist (of Seixon fame) has the same problem.
TP is deleting my posts over there too, the tossers.
Zoo I was wondering if the boycott was on again (since my posts were disappearing) and I couldn’t see anyone on the list… I’d been over on Seixon’s site for a bit and reported back, but TP wiped it. He really doesn’t like Al Gore, irrationally so. He doesn’t like TP either. He also has a troll which is quite funny, who may be former CIA agent Larry Johnson, but then again may not be. And the troll isn’t really that funny, he’s pretty nasty.
January 30th, 2007 at 11:00 pmTracy is a troll!
I should of realized that from her heartless “so you basically screw around on the internet all day” comment, and I, fool, answered her honestly
here comes Zooey in her Sleigh, whip cracking on the backs of her sleigh pullers, on George, on Dick, on Condi, on Karl, on Pearle and Rupert!
Right to my front door step! thanks

January 30th, 2007 at 11:12 pmwhy the boycot?
and now my posts are doubling up…
TerrytheTurtle,
There was a weird blip a while ago, and then the comments from the future showed up. Either the site is being hacked, which I’ve suspected for a while, or Faiz is working on the fix — HINT — or it’s business as usual and we’re in for a crash.
Cheery, ain’t I?
Ooooo, heads on spikes……sick. :)

what’s seixon’s site adress?
how does TP “stop†postings?
Ah, who knows? I know they have a f*ck filter. I get caught in that one regularly. Whatever they have is not that good. Faiz says they’re working on it.
why the boycot?
Several of us staged a walk off for a day to protest the old of control trolls and the fact that our comments disappear for no good reason, while the troll crap (sometimes really evil stuff) stays up. It’s been better since then, but not perfect. But really, is anything perfect?
and now my posts are doubling up…

Pretty cool commenting from the future like that. :)

so perhaps we should say: in leather and chains (mad max, buttocks free style), led in procession to terry’s dismal discriptive end (after of course being sodomized by some very large splintery wooden stakes
so, troll, justrefers to someone who comes to the site to be a contrarian?
sounds like TP often has postingproblems, are the comments actually read aaprroved by a human?
January 30th, 2007 at 11:23 pmThe amazing thing is, that Cheney shot someone in the face before Bush did. He’d probably point a gun at someone thinking it’s a joke.

Yes. Trolls are morons who come here to gum up the works, and don’t actually contribute anything. We usually have a hard time resisting them. michael is one of the newest ones, and he is stoooopit.

I don’t think so. I think it’s automated. Although I know sometimes Faiz or Amanda are reading the comments, because they’ll say something.

That’s one thing, but being persistently rude, taking the thread off track, throwing up strawmen - that’s a troll. There are contrarians, but some at least will carry out a debate. Seixon was always a borderline troll. Now Mighty Aphrodite and IRI - THEY were trolls.

I found one video report, but unfortunately it doesn’t show anything very exciting. Just him getting into the cab of the Caterpillar and saying “I would suggest moving back, I’m gonna crank this sucker up!”

as a mother you’d apreciate my most recent drawing; i had posted the portraits of managmenet at my work place, but took them down, little worried that they might have been seen, but they’ll be back up, and someofthe more political contented sketches are politicaly appropriate too
i just haveto see what seixon is about, so when he shows up i’ll know what i’m dealing with

Absolutely! Hacker Bob comes to mind. He drives some people buggy, but I like him.
are you watching tv?
No TV in this house. I’m reading an article about slutty female baboons.

Anytime. I’m glad you stopped lurking. :)
January 30th, 2007 at 11:52 pmi’m glad to see seixon doesnt have many visitors and that some guy named Larry makes alot of nasty troll comments

January 31st, 2007 at 12:20 amSee the Secret Service cannot control Bush any longer. Dubya would have crushed the reporters to death and enjoyed every minute of it, as he loved blowing up frogs with firecrackers up their butts as a child.
January 31st, 2007 at 1:12 amTP, your server time is obviously in error.
Yes, by all means anyone with a lick of sense please get back as far away from this loose cannon as you can.
For those that were fooled into enlisting in the fight in Iraq as a front of terrorism (both physically and philosophically), hope it isn’t too late for you. Back away and look at the situation from 30,000 ft………then understand.
January 31st, 2007 at 1:37 amOK maybe it’s just KARL X’s computer time that’s off.
January 31st, 2007 at 1:41 amTracy, is that comment for me? well, i try to get some artwork done at work, portraits of the sad low level managerial bureacrats; people who are so lost in the numbers and paperwork, obsessed with their little world of control, holding out authorizing an extra hour of homemaking services for a tired, impoverished old man becasue its ten dollars over budget…
January 31st, 2007 at 3:26 amyeah, i screw around on the internet alot if that’s how you want to put it; but i’d like to think it is more productive than visiting porn sites all day (or filing form 1287 B in section six,to never again be seen by human eyes) seen the movie Brazil, that is what my office is like.
i’m way off topic here. sorry
where is the troll, i’ll go look for him on the new TP post
I must confess I was hoping one of the Stenographers, er…I mean Press, was injured. They are pretty useles anyway.
Comment by Your Conscience —
Good point. It would have been a lot more sensational if fat Cheney was there with Ms. Rice and the Snowman; the three, cheering the chimp while he crushed them to death with a handful of La”Roach”/Fox cubs….er (s)crews.
It would have been bloodly thrilling seeing the devils gutted by their forks. But they seem to know better, that the Butch(er) was probably sufferin from DUDI (..Dope Influence).
This would probably keep the press away from his back. No more annoying questions. Nevertheless, lets pray for more mistakes like this, so we would know Saddam was a nice guy compared with Butch(er).
January 31st, 2007 at 4:38 amOnly a total cretin would find the creation of chaos and the threatening of the safety of others to be funny. How long until this bastard leaves office?
January 31st, 2007 at 5:14 amToo bad he couldn’t drive over those weasle Democrat senators…
January 31st, 2007 at 8:43 amThis is why we love this guy! A real guy, hanging out, moving heavy equipment and taking things in stride.
I don’t know how he handles everything so well.
January 31st, 2007 at 9:09 amI am sure that Bush thought he was being funny, just like when he gave the German PM a shoulder massage. Again, it was anything but funny — or dignified. Now we can add warped to the list of adjectives to describe Bush.
January 31st, 2007 at 9:17 amAnd now we see what a “compassionate conservative” is like.
January 31st, 2007 at 9:56 amJesus, look at that stupid-ass grin on his face! it’s a sincere one, too…
January 31st, 2007 at 10:01 amThis idiot behind the controls of heavy equipment ?
January 31st, 2007 at 10:07 amSomeone quick . . . give him hand signals over the cut-bank.
this article appeared in my local paper… this is the only link i could find for it though…
Bush, analysts differ on roots of CAT’s rise
By Jan Dennis
Published: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 2:05 PM CST
Associated Press writer
EAST PEORIA - President Bush has said he uses Caterpillar Inc.’s trademark yellow earth-movers on his Texas ranch, was to get a firsthand look at one of their big brothers during a factory tour today.
Officials say Bush’s scheduled stop at the East Peoria plant was steered by more than a boyish fascination with the hulking machines that clear the way for construction and mining work around the world.
On the eve of his State of the Economy address Wednesday in New York, Bush is touting Peoria-based Caterpillar as an example of how his administration’s trade agreements and tax breaks can boost global sales and create jobs for U.S. workers.
“Our economy is strong thanks to the pro-growth policies we have in place here and the hard work of American entrepreneurs and workers,†Bush spokesman Alex Conant said.
Others, though, say Caterpillar itself is behind a global sales surge that helped the heavy equipment maker post record profits and revenues for three straight years, creating about 5,000 jobs at its U.S. plants in Illinois, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
Morningstar analyst John Kearney says the company simply took advantage of heightened worldwide demand for both construction and mining machines, using a strong dealer network and respected brand name that make Caterpillar “the 800-pound gorilla†among heavy equipment makers.
“I’d probably give management more credit than the president.” I’m no politician, but it seems a pretty good political move to pick a successful company like Cat and give your spiel through them,†Kearney said.
Fred Giertz, a University of Illinois economics professor, says Bush’s trade policies deserve a little credit. He said the administration has steered clear of import restrictions that other countries might have mirrored, creating a tougher market for U.S. exports.
“Sometimes politicians get too much blame when things go bad and too much credit when things go good. Most of the credit goes to the people at Caterpillar. They created an environment where it’s possible to compete on a world scene and do well,†Giertz said.

If he is at the factory he doesn’t need one. Only on a construction or mining site would he need one under an “official” operating capacity.

“yeah, i screw around on the internet alot if that’s how you want to put it;”
I do to but I don’t do it at work as you admitted you do. I surf during lunch like right now as I am posting this.
January 31st, 2007 at 1:44 pmAnd why the hell was our great leader in Peoria Illinois instead of in Washington DC working on the Iraq Crisis? Oh, I forgot, everything is going so well in Iraq that Bush can travel around, play on farm equipment, and hand out more bull hockey about the “vibrant economy.” Who has the guts and power to stop this Madman?
January 31st, 2007 at 3:36 pmIf someone chases people about with a motor vehicle, for most folks that’s VEHICULAR ASSAULT, a felony. So where’s the video footage for evidence? I mean, this isn’t an Official Act of a Sitting President, this is reckless endangerment. You try doing this, and see how fast you end up getting printed and jailed. Ah well, it’s good to be dictator king president.
