‘Big money players up from Texas’ visit Bush.»

From yesterday’s Nelson Report:

[S]ome big money players up from Texas recently paid a visit to their friend in the White House. The story goes that they got out exactly one question, and the rest of the meeting consisted of The President in an extended whine, a rant, actually, about no one understands him, the critics are all messed up, if only people would see what he’s doing things would be OK…etc., etc. This is called a “bunker mentality” and it’s not attractive when a friend does it. When the friend is the President of the United States, it can be downright dangerous. Apparently the Texas friends were suitably appalled, hence the story now in circulation.

UPDATE: Sean-Paul Kelley has more.

UPDATE II: Carpetbagger: “Bush has apparently taken to whining about how unappreciated he his. As I recall, Nixon started talking the same way, right before he was driven from office. This isn’t encouraging. In fact, if Bush starts wondering what he can do to prove everyone wrong about his greatness, this kind of thinking could get scary.”

    Oy….

    The petulant Boy King has a tantrum.

    Good god….


  2. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Is it time to impeach yet?

    Chimpy is practically begging to be let off the hook, but the rest of the criminal neocon cabal won’t allow that…he’s still too valuable as the idiot front-man.


  3. Republic666ans are evil Says:

    Kinda reminds me of Nixon, he was sooooo misunderstood… NOT!


  4. david Says:

    There are still Texans who admire the Hunt brothers and their attempt to corner the silver market. Poor misunderstood Texans.

    Vinnie,

    The Nelson Report seems to be down at the moment, but here’s Huffpo’s take on the story.

    George YOU WANTED the job. In fact you wanted it so much you corrupted the entire voting process two times.

    Be careful what you wish for, ever hear that one George?

    Wait till the melt-down is in public and shown on abc, cbs, nbc, cnn, fox, etc.
    Beautiful .
    I think he may be concerned, not about his ‘legacy’ . . . but his ability to stay above ground.
    He has the blood of thousands on his hands . . . women and children.
    Even the worst kind of scum has to fear the reprocussions.

    Not to worry junior, we’re sending a case-o-jack.
    You’ll be better soon.

    the nelson report is an exclusive insidery newsletter. steve clemons refers to it frequently. supposed to be very connected and very good analysis.


  13. Can-O-Whoop-Ass Says:

    Bunker Mentality?

    I sure wish he would lock himself, family and take the Hitler way home..


  14. lw Says:

    Most folks in a situation where they think “everyone else is wrong and I’m right” might choose to take another look at themselves and wonder if maybe there might be something legitimate about the criticism. Apparently not Bush.

    Another lesson from the Bush administration is that if you withhold information about what you are doing and try to keep everything secret, you should not be surprised when people become suspicious and come up with stories - maybe some true and some not - about what you may be doing.


  15. r€nato Says:

    It’s the goddamned Jews. And the Kennedys. They’re out to get him, I tell you.

    I wonder if Bush has an enemies list in his desk drawer.

    Ah, the “You people are all crazy” syndrome

    (there are a couple of trolls here that start out their posts with “you people” etc…..)

    Fly on wall:

    “George - you need to keep it together - the one thing we are counting you on is to defend to the last second of your Presidency…. our tax cuts. We don’t really care about anything else - heck our kids will never be in the military so we don’t give a hoot about Iraq.”


  18. Raven Says:

    ……………he keeps it under his Oval office rug


  19. Buck Fush Says:

    No it is not that we don’t understand him, it is the fact that now 68% of America DOES understand hiim, he is insane.

    Hating the Repuke Mafia daily


  20. VerbalKint Says:

    There has been another inducement to cynical Republicans to put self and party before country, perhaps even more important to them than their greedy tax cuts, and certainly far more damaging: the dismantling of the regulatory function of the government.


  21. Tobey Tall Says:

    Venezuela exits IMF and World Bank

    “I want to formalise our exit from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund,” Chavez said, issuing an order for Rodrigo Cabezas, Venezuela’s finance minister, to begin proceedings to withdraw from the organisations.

    “We are going to withdraw before they go and rob us.”


  22. Hamid Says:

    Allah is punishing Bush and America for fighting his people!
    All Americans will pay even you Leftists!
    We’re not your allies and please stop with your phoney sympathy for my people.
    We view the dead as Martyrs!
    We weep with vengence not cowardness like yoiu weaklings!
    We love death more than you like life!


  23. enaud Says:

    Now that all his incompetence, ineptitude, and disconnect are coming back to haunt him, he is completely lost. He needs a war czar so he will have more time to sit around and comtemplate his legacy, and the greatness of his administration. Thinking of his mental state is scary.


  24. brando Says:

    I agree: Bush is misunderstood. We truly don’t know the extent to which he is a putrid sack of shit. Although this episode is a glimpse into that sack…


  25. anon Says:

    #17: ” ‘George - you need to keep it together - the one thing we are counting you on is to defend to the last second of your Presidency…. our tax cuts. We don’t really care about anything else ‘ ”

    The rich and powerful would still be looking for their tax cuts and other benefits of privilege even if the world were ending.


  26. Kay Says:

    Looks like Bush is boozing it up again.


  27. Its_Me_Ya_Krazy Says:

    time to INCREASE the pressure until he BREAKS.


  28. merciless Says:

    if only people would see what he’s doing things would be OK…

    You know, he’s been on this kick for a while now, and it’s why he continually lectures us, every stinking time he gets on the teevee.

    It was the same story with Social Security. He’d get in front of a crowd, and say that if we only understood what he was up to, we’d give him authority, respect, a parade, and a pony.

    He sounds paranoid, and disturbed. These are not good signs…


  29. Jay Randal Says:

    LOL the money backers of Bush are upset about him, but elite like them got upset about Hitler too and failed to stop him soon enough.

  31. big papa Says:

    I STILL want my fu*king money…

    …insane or not…

    EVERYBODY had better start pressuring Democrats and Repulsivescum…

    …Congressional employees to pressure the DOJ to persecute, prosecute…

    …however “CUTE” they have to get…

    …to get our MONEY BACK!


  32. SouthWest Bob Says:

    Bush is predictable. His behavior is clearly established and will not change. Dr. Frank nailed it in “Bush on the Couch.”

    Bush on the Couch
    By Justin Frank

    Dr. Frank is the author of Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President (2004). He is a Washington, D.C.–based psychoanalyst and professor of psychiatry at George Washington University Medical School.

    Since the Swift Boat controversy hit center stage in mid-August – both the ads and Bush’s refusal to take responsibility for them – we again see his reluctance to examine his conscience. Instead he remains mired in his long-standing pattern of denial and blame. Responsibility is something this president flees at all costs. It is a behavior pattern that began long before Bush became president, governor, or even a college student. It even began before Bush had become an alcoholic (he finally stopped drinking at age forty, with the help of his religion), though his response to criticism is typical of untreated alcoholics.


  33. veritas Says:

    Is this whining baby our president? Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! When he doesn’t get his way in brainwashing the citizens and even his friends, all he can do is wah, wah, wah!!

    He will surely go down in history as being the biggest bully, the biggest whiner, and the most incompetent president ever in the history of this country. What are his numbers now? 28 and dropping??


  34. Tobey Tall Says:

    Wolfowitz may be ready to quit
    World Bank president suggests he could go if charges of breaking bank’s rules are dropped.


  35. veritas Says:

    I couldn’t agree with you more, Big Papa! Where has all the money gone? Why pay taxes for this disgustingly run, appalling, abysmal failure of a government?? Besides, the crooks took all of the Katrina money, all of the Iraq money which is STILL unaccounted for, and god knows what else and BushCo probably has it squirreled away in offshore accounts. This is a sad, sorry state of affairs for the citizens of this country. It’s time to get out there in protest if the Dems continue to drag their feet.

    The people of this country will NOT be satisfied until Bush, Cheney, and Rice are deposed, indicted and imprisoned.


  36. veritas Says:

    I also “get” now why Pappy Bush made the comment last week about people being saturated with the Bush Family; it’s not what anyone things. Of course, we’re sick that we were “bush-whacked” and lied to; however, what he really meant to do was to PRETEND that Jeb has a chance in hell of ever becoming president. After today’s AP disclosure about Jeb’s fronting for MWI, the company who installed bogus Katrina pumps, his political career will be totally finished….that and what his actions were with Katherine Harris and Dukie Cunningham & Mitch Wade in “rigging” the 2000 Florida election!

    Sha…na…na….na….hey…hey….hey…..good bye Bush Crime family!


  37. veritas Says:

    World Bank needs to maintain those charges against Wolfie and not allow him off the hook. He’s playing the slime game with them and he needs to pay the price for what he’s done. After that, the american people need to go after him as one of the “architects” of this illegal war….along with ALL of the other twisted neonazis of PNAC…..Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Armitage, Bolton, Khalilizad, Bill Kristol, Richard Perle, Bush and Cheney….these are the “enemy within” who have destroyed this democracy intentionally. These people need to be indicted for their criminal actions and sent to prison.

    EACH member of PNAC has the “blood” of our dead military soldiers on their hands and on their souls.


  38. veritas Says:

    When Bush & Cheney are impeached or when their term in office is over, the people will, literally, dance in the streets all over this country!


  39. david Says:

    These guys won’t leave a cushy job until they’re dragged out by the cops and put in orange jumpsuits.

    I think we need a new War on Error term for these goons: Illegal non-compliants.


  40. zappodave Says:

    Bunker mentality.

    When will he be marrying Ava Braun? Errr I mean Condi Rice …sorry.


  41. Phoenix Woman Says:

    Well, what did you expect, Texas Republican money men?

    The only real differences between your boy Bush and Nixon/Reagan is that Nixon and Reagan didn’t have Republican Amen Corners in Congress, AM Radio and FOX News enabling their every John-Birch-Society-approved action.

    You want to stop Bushism? Stop being Republicans. Bush is the ultimate expression of the greed-is-good GOP philosophy.


  42. Mabel's Wig Shack Says:

    Texas ‘money men’ with Diebold machines sticking out their back pockets.


  43. Mark Says:

    So do you think Captain Bush will every find out that it was the secret service who ate the strawberries? I’m looking for bush to start fidgeting with his steel balls soon.


  44. TrueNorth Says:

    Regarding “The story goes”…….I’d like a little more validation as to both the source of the story and it’s accuracy.


  45. Raven Says:

    I am reminded of that movie often, Mark… good one!


  46. Dean Broder Says:

    More proof that President Bush is ready to make an amazing political comeback and capture the hearts and minds of all god-fearing patriotic Americans.

  47. RUCerious Says:

    Achtung!
    Herr Bush states that no one understands him!
    Mein Gott, he’s off the deep end!


  48. c4logic Says:

    The man is a certifiable nutcase–this is the most dangerous precipiece America has ever teetered on the edge of. Sometimes going along with tradition is no longer prudent–at what point do the SURVIVAL MEMES start to kick in? Up till now its all been domestic tribal warfare, with Rove rabble rousing the base. But how can you be upset over Gay Marriage when America’s future is going down the toilet? Wake up, America! We have met the enemy, and he is us!

  51. mongo Says:

    Why do the big money players from Texas hate america?

    Why do the big money players from Texas want the terrorists to win?

    Clinton did it too.

    That is all.


  52. draftedin68 Says:

    ………

    Sean-Paul Kelley ends his piece with: “For Bush it’s always about Bush’s short-term political gain and nothing more.”

    Yeah, short term - like about eight years.

    That Duhhbya has a degree in history is mind-blowing.

    ……….


  53. Ben Dover Says:

    But Clinton had a bunker mentality too…..just waiting for that one to come out. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1………..


  54. mongo Says:

    I would pay to see a reporter ask the following questions of bush at each and every appearance he makes before the press (granted, these will continue to become fewer and fewer):

    “Why do hate america?”

    “Why do want the terrorists to win?”

    “Since Clinton did too, why do you think your administration is being taken to task for these actions?”

    The continual repetition of the same ridiculous right-wing memes at every opportunity, would force bush and his cronies to confront them, either acknowledging their ridiculousness (and thereby destroying their usefulness for the right wing) or agreeing with them (and further destroying his credibility).


  55. mongo Says:

    Sorry, part of my post didn’t print:

    “Why do (latest group/individual to come out against unconstitutional/illegal action by bush administration) hate america?”

    “Why do (latest group/individual to come out against unconstitutional/illegal action by bush administration)want the terrorists to win?”

    “Since Clinton did (latest illegal/unconstitutional act committed by bush and/or his cronies) too, why do you think your administration is being taken to task for these actions?”


  56. gotaclue Says:

    #39 in fact, after Watergate, that’s when the Right wing bought out the media! A brief history on the progress of the 4th Reich

    1964 Goldwater (a moderate by today’s standards) lost a landslide election to LBJ

    As a result the GOP was devastated and the money dried up

    Meanwhile…. a con man by the name of Jerry Fallwell was attempting to launch a 3rd political party called the “Moral Majority”. Of course, their extremist platform turned off 85% of voters and the movement never got off the ground.

    So…”MM” infiltrated the GOP. The GOP in turn, was too happy to have the millions culled from all the suckers who paid to play with Jerry’s TEEVANGELISM.

    Then… Nixon… and… Watergate…. The GOP pays lip service to the crazed American juhadists (you know them as “Christians” — a curious designation for people who reject everything Christ taught — but I digress)

    Then… watergate

    Then… GOP/”religious” right through Regan DESTROYS the Fairness Doctrine (this was Ragun’s FIRST OFFICIAL ACT FOLKS… tell me they didnt have a plan)

    Then the GOP/RR buys up all the media they can. They filled the ranks of what were formerly journalists, with propagandists and compliant stenogs and… we have our MSM today! Full of partisan hacks without any journalistic training, methods, ethics, or practice.

    But…

    These people never have been and never will be too bright. They are always solving TODAY’s problem with YESTERDAY’s solution.

    The MSM has become irrelevant to any thinking person in this country and, indeed, the world.

    The internet has become THE main source of information for people who have had it up to HERE with the propagandists on television, in the newspapers, and magazines.

    So… the tide is turning again, because the little scared white rabbits could only plug the MSM hole in the dyke. They neither did anticipate nor contemplate that the truth would find another way.

    A fatal combination of stupidity and arrogance.

    When the GOP is at last relegated to the junkpile of failed political movements a la Whigs and Tories, they can reflect on the fact that totalitarian, authoritarian dictatorships in which the majority of people have been reduced to serf status, don’t ever last.

    Hmm…wonder why….


  57. Triumph of the W Says:

    Bush’s actual words:

    It is untrue that I or anybody else in America wanted war in 2003. It was desired and instigated exclusively by those international terrorists who were either of Islamofascist origin or working for Islamofascist interests. I have made so many offers for the reduction and elimination of WMDs, which posterity cannot explain away for all eternity, that the responsibility for the outbreak of this war cannot rest on me. Furthermore, I never desired that after the first terrible Gulf War a second war should arise against Iraq or even against Afghanistan. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and presidential liberries there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are ultimately responsible: International Islamofascism and its helpers!


  58. NoOneYouKnow Says:

    I wonder how long it’ll be before the wingnut pundits like Broder start to disown him; “He wasn’t a real Republican… .” We need to hang Bush/Cheney around their necks and keep it nailed there for the next 50 years.


  59. Willy Says:

    If Bush weren’t rich and powerful he’d be on a college campus shooting students.


  60. lonesomerobot Says:

    no, willy, that would be cheney.

    bush would be the one that was hungover and missed class again.


  61. Mooser Says:

    Bush is now going into his AWOL stage, where he petulantly refuses to do anything, or just bugs out. Been his lifelong pattern.


  62. ForTruth Says:

    The friends need to do an “intervention” on Bush.


  63. cal Says:

    Isn’t the Nelson Report a subscription (and by invitation) only service?


  64. bleat my little texas millionaire bleat Says:

    So Boosh is saying now that he is either of Islamofascist origin or working for Islamofascist interests. In a round-about kind of way, that is.

  66. El Tonno Says:

    #55 “Triumph of the W” is of course pulling a leg or two.
    The style of the speech immediately vectors you to
    its true author. Bush doesn’t have that style.

    “It is untrue that I or anybody else in Germany wanted war in 1939. It was desired and instigated exclusively by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests. I have made so many offers for the reduction and elimination of armaments, which posterity cannot explain away for all eternity, that the responsibility for the outbreak of this war cannot rest on me. Furthermore, I never desired that after the first terrible World War a second war should arise against England or even against America. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and monuments of art there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are ultimately responsible: International Jewry and its helpers!”

  67. lolly Says:

    Folks, this can only be good for Republicans. Democrats are obviously overplaying their hand. Bush is clearly poised to make a huge comeback in the next few days.

    And I’m still waiting for that damn tooth fairy. Where the hell is she?


  68. Dumbo Says:

    I’m sorry, but please tell me, what’s new about this? Because I find it hard to recall a time when George W. Bush WASN’T whining about how people don’t see how great everything is that he’s doing and how they just don’t understand. This has been his whole mantra for years. Virtually everything out of his mouth is on this subject. Publicly. So what if he sounds the same privately. Did they really expect anything different?


  69. demdandy Says:

    “…if Bush starts wondering what he can do to prove everyone wrong about his greatness, this kind of thinking could get scary.”

    Scary is not the word. Horrifying maybe. I just wonder if anyone close to Bush, maybe some military man, would stop him if Bush decides he’s going to start Armageddon?

    We need to remove Bush-Cheney ASAP. The website to use is http://www.cspan.org. All the names of all congressmen are there, with the phone numbers. Today I called John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer.


  70. El Tonno Says:

    We have all come from so far away.

    The Economist, 27th July 2000, “Preparing America for Compassionate Conservatism”

    LOLLING back in the Straight Talk Express as it zipped along the country roads of New Hampshire last winter, John McCain—now a supporter of the man the Republican Party will nominate for president next week, then a rival for the job—put his finger on the doubt that has nagged at Republicans from the moment George W. Bush announced he was running for president last year in Iowa: “You have to wonder,” said the senator, “what would happen in the far reaches of the night, when it’s just him alone in the Oval Office, and we’re facing a nuclear threat. What kind of decision would he make?”

    ….

    For the moment, that judgment can stand for Mr Bush, too. By reputation and rhetoric, he is a pragmatic and amiable, if lightweight, centrist. Pragmatic and amiable, perhaps. And a centrist in some senses. But a lightweight? His enthusiasm for increasing the role of churches in welfare policy (to say nothing of privatising parts of Social Security and shaking up America’s nuclear defences) are as radical as anything America has seen for a while. This is hardly the low-calorie, fat-free candidacy of someone whose main conception of the presidency is to smile and do no harm.

    This is not to say that he would necessarily prove a good president, or a better one than Al Gore. But it does provide an answer to the question of whether Mr Bush is presidential material. By the measures of intelligence, temperament and policy, he is prepared—or as prepared as anyone ever is—for this desperately hard job.

  72. Mel Strom Says:

    Wed 02 May 2007
    00.55 Los Angeles

    I’ve drawn the parallel often, for several years now, that what we see is Captain Queeg. What these Texas pals describe underscores the parallel.
    That doesn’t solve any problems — it only points to a personality type and adds color to already frightening prospects. My mind stops operating when I try to game it out in my head.


  73. Dabodius Says:

    “…if Bush starts wondering what he can do to prove everyone wrong about his greatness…”

    That’s why we invaded and occupied Iraq, isn’t it: so that a middling man who had failed in most of his life’s undertakings could vindicate his narcissism.
    He was going to be Alexander or Saladin, The Man WHo Remade The Middle East. To give up his dream or admit he was wrong to believe in it, he’d have to come to terms with his true self, the sad little clown who time and again got himself into something he couldn’t handle. This time he got hundreds of millions of us into it with him, and this time family friends can’t get him out.

    Comment by Shane — May 1, 2007 @ 10:51 am”
    ++++++++++

    He never wanted the Job - he wanted the Office. He farmed the “job” out to Darth Cheney. He wanted the world’s attention, the feeling of power and omnipotence he got from filling the “office” - but he never wanted the job. And this is the first sign he’s ever cared about ANYONE’S respect.

    >sigh!!


  75. James Says:

    I couldn’t help but notice that the Think Progress article that led me to the Carpetbagger Report’s article also included a link back to the same article on Think Progress… And there were NO links to the original article on “The Nelson Report”. And I can’t even get the “The Nelson Report” to load in my browser, I get a “Internet Explorer cannot display the Webpage” error.

    Echo chamber much?

    Who are these anonymous “big money Texans”?

    Sorry, but I have a hard time getting worked up over what unnamed sources have to say anymore.

    Call me strange, but I would think that the experience of the past seven years concerning circular sourcing would give us pause when reading gossip, no matter how reputable the gossip artist may be…

    What else was said in the meeting?

    Why would big money texans want to expose Bush now? Are you trying to tell me that they are just NOW starting to get scared of the mentality of the man in the Oval Office?

    WTF?!?!

    …………


  76. Bukko in Australia Says:

    I just read through all 76 comments, and was prepared to post a rant about the insanity of Bush, when I got to James. Good scepticism, mate! Is this another Internet hoax? It does smell fishy. Unnamed Texans, a subscription-only news service that can’t be found (and thus verified)? As much as I’d like to believe that Chiimpy McFlightsuit is losing it (although that would be scary indeed) I’d have to see more about this to trust it.


  77. Bukko in Australia Says:

    Whoops! I stand corrected. I should learn never to post anything without Googling first. There ARE references to Nelson out there, which say it’s a credible source. Even those execrable excuses for humanity at the Volokh Conspiracy (one of the links on the first Google page that came up, not that I would go there by choice) vouch for its existence, although they don’t like it. So James, why are you looking foolish, and making me look that way too?


  78. Whistler Says:

    Here’s the easiest way possible to prove Bush and Company’s insanity:

    Read this (wikipedia) article:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Narcissistic_personality_disorder

    and play close attention to these diagnostic criteria:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Narcissistic_personality_disorder#Diagnostic_criteria

    Connecting the dots should be appallingly simple.


  79. dio.genes Says:

    Time to impeach Cheney. We wouldn’t want him to be next-in-line when the petulant chimpy finally loses it. This is what happens when everything that chimpy ever achieved came from being daddy’s son, and chimpy never had to accept responsibility for any of his failures before because daddy took care of it. Well, chimpy can’t bury his head in the sandbox anymore because the devastation left behind this time is too great for daddy (or daddy’s wise old men) to take care off. Just about everybody now sees how totally incompetent he is, and even daddy is shedding tears over how the idiot-son has screwed the dynasty for generations to come. In the meantime, 5 young men in the prime of their lives were killed today, 10 yesterday, and the tragic beat goes on even as chimpy rails and whines.


  80. mim Says:

    “Putting up with me requires a lot of patience.”
    President Bush, April 19, 2007.

    For once, he was right!

    A year ago, a cartoon appeared in the Daytona Beach Union-Tribune, in which the ghost of Richard Nixon appears to GWB and says, “It’s good to be out of the cellar! Thank you for being a worse president than I was.”


  81. Bob Pomeroy Says:

    If we get through the summer without W or Cheney asserting dictatorial powers and ending constitutional rule I will be pleasantly surprised. All it will take is a major terrorist event at home or abroad, but the real purpose will be to facilitate Halliburton owning the world.


  82. Rowland Says:

    “Triumph of the W” {above) What a great name!
    Because W has triumphed. The media goes along and the Dems go along. Nobody likes him but he gets what he wants. Again and again. That is triumph.

    The name also refers, of course, to Triumph of the Will–Hitler’s big promo film circa 1936. He over played his hand, too. Pre-emptive war. Russia, 1940. Didn’t work out so well for Adolph, either.

    Despite Bush’s grandfather’s help!

    mine are not showing either.
    He’s going to declare martial law to protect his real interests and those of his cronies. This will happen after a major terrorist event somewhere in the world. I will be pleasantly surprised if we make it through the summer.


  84. Freticat Says:

    If only he’d do us all a favor and do as Hitler did when he gave in to his “bunker mentality”. It’s about time that the “zero-year election curse” made a comeback. It took a holiday with Reagan. This late in the game, I think Cheney’s pissed off too many people to do much ,ore harm between now and 20 January 2009 than he already has.


  85. Whitney Says:

    Lord Bush must be shown the door, preferably before the illegal immigration bill cecomes a reality; Bush will ruin the country one way or the other; he’s bent on ruining this country; what’s got into him?

    I think GW Bush has re-registered to beomce a democrat!
