Dead man walking.

  1. Ben Dover says:

    I cant wait for the “dead man walking” comment to be used for Bush after articles of impeachment have been brought up.


  2. Shane says:

    For an idiot like Bush, wouldn’t a simple yes or no answer be easier.


  3. HeckuvahJob Brownie says:

    What he said about Wolfowitz is a lot more than he can say about himself. That’s for sure!


  4. TerrytheTurtle says:

    Chimpy: “Wolfy meet bus, bus meet Wolfy”


  5. Zooey says:

    I wonder who wrote that little speech? It’s too concise to be off the cuff.


  6. Marge N. Overa says:

    That means a lot coming from a “brain-dead man walking”.


  7. Tom3 says:

    LOL!! Chimpy throws Wolfy under the bus.


  8. dh says:

    “I admire his heart, and I particularly admire his focus in helping the poor.”

    W admires this because Wolfy helps keep the poor, poor.


  9. Tom3 says:

    Actually Chimpy didn’t actually say that phrase.

    It’s a paraphrase by the Salon writer.


  10. Anderson says:

    “I admire his heart…”

    What does this mean? Ideology?


  11. lemonv says:

    Are they talking about Bush II or what? You be the judge.

    Found this on Wikipedia under Big Lie:

    [edit] Used in Hitler’s psychological profile

    The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile:[2]

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[3]

    I admire his heart

    I want to rip it out and eat it, just like Cheney does with small animals.

    Dead Man Walking

    (Actually, the caption for Dead-Eye Dick’s Daily Trip to Krispy Kreme’s)

    What a FAT, EVIL SOB Cheney is. What a pathetic human being.


  14. Pete Bogs says:

    “I particularly admire his focus in helping the poor.”

    therein lies the issue, from my POV… Wolfie took a job with a philanthropic organization and used it to fill his own pockets, and his gal pal’s… no one who works for that organization should be in it for the money… it’s counter to the organization’s purpose…


  15. Kay says:

    War=Peace
    Lies=Truth


  16. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    Bush added, “I also particularly admire his overt funneling of cash to his girlfriend.” So long, Wolfie! Time to retire after your long career of HORRIBLE decisions and CORRUPTION.

    Comment by Oversight is a Bitch.

    I’m sorry, but when was the last time one of the Smarties was put out of work for being consistently wrong? He may be leaving the World Bank, but you can bet there’s a nice paycheck waiting for him somewhere in Washington.


  18. david says:

    It had to come to this??? Well, of course it did. The Decider was supposed to call it 6 weeks ago when he could have sacked Wolfie and contained the scandal. What part about decisionmaking does this President not get?

    I mean, in the old days, a person caught redhanded resigned. If the accused claimed innocence, they stepped aside until cleared. If still found guilty, they resigned. Wolfowitz did neither. No, instead, he claimed he could carry on even if found guilty and finally would plea bargain when he offered to resign in exchange for all charges being dropped. Sheesh! Isn’t this the kind of corruption the Republicans used to rail against?

    . . . you can bet there’s a nice paycheck waiting for him somewhere in Washington. — Comment by gummitch

    Unfortunately, I’m sure you’re right. The Neocons are actually rewarded for being idiot f**k-ups. As long as they’re loyal to Rove and Cheney and puppet-boy Bush. Pathetic.


  20. Brian Donohue says:

    Exactly the conclusion I came to this morning: dead man walking.


  21. bye bye GOP says:

    “I admire his heart”

    This from the same moron who said after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, June 16, 2001 “I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy….I was able to get a sense of his soul.”


  22. xenon says:

    He’s not the only dead man walking…
