Bush ’surprised’ by conservative anger.
In a recent speech, President Bush reportedly “took on his own conservative political base” in slamming critics of comprehensive immigration reform. But the Washington Times reports, “President Bush did not intend to single out his conservative supporters for criticism” in the speech and “was ’surprised’ that his remarks angered Republicans.” Tony Snow said, “[Bush] was surprised by the reaction.”

Why not? I’m a conservative and I’m pissed!!
No to stem-cell research;
mis-managed war;
calling immigration reform proponents rascist…
The list goes on.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:01 pmOf course he was surprised. He’s an idiot.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:02 pmEven Ann Coulter called Bush a ‘dumb american.’ That was gold.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:02 pmso…turn on your own supporters. how very very neocon.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:04 pmOf course he’s surprised. He reads the words they write for him to say, and has very little, if any, comprehension of what he’s saying.
DUH!
June 6th, 2007 at 7:06 pmHe’ll be ’surprised’ by the next election results too. “What do you mean I can’t live here anymore?”
June 6th, 2007 at 7:07 pmWhoever thought that right wingers (or at least some) would turn on their king?
June 6th, 2007 at 7:08 pmEven Man Coulter called me a dumb american. That was gold
June 6th, 2007 at 7:09 pmWhy is bush ALWAYS surprised? Is he NOT paying attention?
Nevermind… Don’t answer that.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:13 pmMr. President
The whole country hates you. Well except for those that think Jesus will come back in their lifetime, evolution deniers, and the chimpanzees.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:15 pmNope the chimpanzees are really pissed off with Bush. The backlash at the zoo is getting bad according to my sources…
June 6th, 2007 at 7:18 pmRemember the words of best rapper that ever lived, Mr. Bush:
Now, on this ride there’s gonna be some real mutha-fu*kas
and there’s gonna be some pu*sys
Now the real ni*gas gonna be the ones with money and bitches
The pu*sys are gonna be the ni*gas on the floor bleedin’
Now everybody keep your eyes on the prize cause the ride get tricky
See you got some ni*gas on your side
That say they’re your friends
But in real life they your enemies
And then you got some mutha-fu*kas that say they your enemies
But in real life they eyes is on your money
See the enemies will say they true
But in real life those ni*gas will be the snitches
Its a dirty game y’all
Y’all got ta be careful about who you fu*k with and who you don’t fu*k with
Cause the shit get wild y’all
Keep your mind on your riches, Baby
Keep your mind on your riches
– Tupac
June 6th, 2007 at 7:21 pmCan the chymp even buy a clue?

Buying clues for dummies?

So bubble-boy is surprised?

June 6th, 2007 at 7:26 pmWord on the streets of Seattle is that they put up cardboard cutouts of Bush for the chimps to throw their feces at, keeps the cages ultra clean.
Quite a mess on the cardboard cutouts, as they are excellent hurlers.
Nope the chimpanzees are really pissed off with Bush. The backlash at the zoo is getting bad according to my sources…
Comment by TerrytheTurtle
No kidding. I’m getting so tired of all the sh*t being thrown around here, and you guys quit comparing that idiot president to chimps — they are so hurt!!
June 6th, 2007 at 7:29 pmdubby “was ’surprised’ that his remarks angered Republicans.â€
quite frankly, so am i…
what’s up with the sheeple? … they forget their roots?
June 6th, 2007 at 7:31 pmWow! – sometimes the jokes just write themselves…..he really does live in a bubble doesn’t he?!?!?! I recently had the chance to answer the poll question: “Do you think people in Washington are out of touch with the American People?” – YA THINK??!?!?! Rome burns and Chimpy plays the banjo!
June 6th, 2007 at 7:37 pmyou mean Snow didn’t actually try and spin this news as Democrats playing politics? amazing…
June 6th, 2007 at 7:41 pmRU – I’d pay to see that…
June 6th, 2007 at 7:45 pmAs the president says, we misunderestimate him. He was not born stupid. He chose stupidity. Bush may look like a well-meaning dolt. On consideration, he’s something far more dangerous: a dedicated fool.

June 6th, 2007 at 7:52 pmChimpy’s surprised every morning when he wakes up!
June 6th, 2007 at 7:55 pmIt just goes to show that when you live in an absolute Us vs Them world how quickly Us becomes Them when you disagree.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:57 pmWas it just me, but between all the ‘Evolution is bunk’ and ‘brown people go home’ of the GOP debate…. was it really just old, rich, white Puritans (yes Romney you too) and Carpetbaggers ?
June 6th, 2007 at 8:04 pmOh great, now he’ll do something to cheer up his base… Like bomb a country filled with dark-skinned non-Christians, or claim there’s a pee stain of Jesus in the third floor toilet of the White House that spoke to him…

So true…
The cat got tired of playing with dead mice (the Democrats in Congress), and now sees a fluttering bird with which to amuse itself…
June 6th, 2007 at 8:09 pmComment #8 was not CompTROLLER V-1, just an impersonator.
Go get a second job and save up for the REAL thing, buddy.
June 6th, 2007 at 8:15 pmDuring a feeding frenzy, if a shark is accidentally wounded and starts bleeding, the other sharks will turn on it and devour it.

June 6th, 2007 at 9:26 pmBush wants the Mexican border to remain wide open for hordes of cheap labor to keep coming into the US and for drugs to pour in too.
June 6th, 2007 at 9:30 pmWait a second, an insurgency broke out and George Bush didn’t see it coming?
That can’t be right. You’d better go back and check this story again.
June 6th, 2007 at 9:34 pmBoy Bush really does live inside his own little world.
Just 593 more days until 20-Jan-2009

June 7th, 2007 at 12:48 amI’m surprised, too. Conservatives rarely figure anything out.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:45 amHe was surprised when 9/11 after a memo warned him about it.
June 7th, 2007 at 9:12 amHe was surprised about Katrina after the weather service told him it was coming.
He was surprised when he couldn’t find weapons of mass destruction after the inspectors told him there weren’t any there.
He is probably surprised to see the sun rise and the tides go out and in.
