Bush watched Iowa results ‘with great interest.’
Although White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said President Bush would not watch the Iowa returns last night — explaining, “He goes to bed early” — spokesman Tony Fratto today said Bush “stayed up last night and watched the results with great interest.” According to Perino, Bush said he “understands the excitement of the winners and the disappointment of the losers and the range of emotions that go with these events.”

January 4th, 2008 at 3:04 pmBush undestands…….that’s funny.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:04 pmWhat a tool.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:05 pmBush is a drunk so he was drinking late that’s why he was up. Now when they announced Obama won Bush was screaming oh no not the black man. As for Hillary he said thank goodness not a Clinton. Now when Rev. Huck won Bush said I see the floating cross too. Bush could care less about the election because he could care less about the United States people. Now you notice not a word from out Supreme Leader Dick, who is busy looking at ways to get the next President to let
January 4th, 2008 at 3:08 pmhim continue his crime wave with going to jail.
i bet he does.
he can’t wait to install himself as chancellor when it looks like a democratic landslide.
all the more reason to unleash Edwards on this whitehouse warcriminal.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:09 pmHe is worried about an investigation on his presidency once he finishes, that’s why Gonzo and KKKarl left the goverment, to prepare his legal defense.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:10 pmRumor has it when the results came in, Bush choked on a pretzel, Cheney choked a detainee and Karl Rove choked on Larry Craig.

January 4th, 2008 at 3:10 pmWell it’s easier than reading a book……
January 4th, 2008 at 3:10 pm9- ah ha…we have an indignant 25%er here.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:14 pm“He goes to bed early”
translation: “He starts drinking at 6:00 PM and we won’t let you see him till he sobers up!”
When do YOU think they made that wonderful decision to invade & occupy Iraq?
January 4th, 2008 at 3:16 pm12 – and we don’t listen to the 25%ers anyway. They’ve made their assertion about their intelligence with their support for Monkey Boy. I just laugh at them as I would monkeys in a zoo.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:17 pmSo Southernman will stipulate to murdering people, giving tax breaks to the rich and watching torture videos, but wants proof of the coke snorting?
Weird sense of values southernman.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:17 pmI think there are many in the South who would not be thrilled to be labelled as Southerners if Southern Man is a prototypical southerner….
January 4th, 2008 at 3:23 pmthe lines drawn at snorting coke. That’s the last straw.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:23 pmSu-r-r-r-r-r-re he did.
Just like he caught a world record bass in his pond in Crawford. And I’m the Pope. And Miss America.

January 4th, 2008 at 3:24 pmAre you saying that Bush has snorted coke recently Matt? Prove it. Or “shut up†as you have posted previously on other post.

If you don’t like what we have to say on this progressive site that isn’t for knuckle draggers like you feel free to leave at any time. But you are not a moderator and nobody here is going to listen to any of the sycophantic babblings you spew.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:29 pmGuys, if you want something better to read than a post of what time Bush went to bed or what he thinks, take a look at another agent of change and who is running his show:

January 4th, 2008 at 3:30 pmToo bad the fetid Chimp didn’t look at the results of Hurricane Katrina with “great interest” and instead spent four days vacationing, campaigning for his repuke colleagues, celebrating McCain’s birthday and eating birthday cake, playing golf, and strumming guitars.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:30 pmWith infinite complacency Americans went to and fro about the globe, confident of their empire over this world. Yet, across the vast plains of Texas, intellects dull and feeble and uncurious regarded our democracy with envious eyes. And slowly, and surely drew their plans against us.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:30 pm“the disappointment of the losers” – Well GW666 certainly has an understanding of the losers, being the king of all losers that he is.

January 4th, 2008 at 3:31 pmI guess tiny George was tired after all those air assaults he conducted while riding his bicycle, so he watched a little tube to wind down before Jeff gannon came by to suck his cock.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:31 pmIn stating that Bush watched with “great interest”, to quote Dorothy Parker writing of being informed of President Calvin Coolidge’s death, “how would we know?”
January 4th, 2008 at 3:32 pm“According to Perino, Bush said he “understands the excitement of the winners…” Yup, Bush understands only with cliff notes.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:33 pmYou would think that of all the evil things bush has been accused of here that snorting coke would hardly be worth mentioning. It has been proven as well as many other crimes by bush. Why aren’t the trolls more upset with limpballs since drugs seem to trip thier lights fantastic…
January 4th, 2008 at 3:34 pmWel, Duh-bya does have a vested interest in the outcome. Clinton, by virtue of Bill’s close relationship with GHWB, would be the preferred outcome with the least chance of prosecution for f*ing crimes of the past seven years.

Great interest? So it held his attention as long as My Pet Goat?

Gee, I thought Dr. Matt was being quite gracious. He didn’t even mention Bush’s chugging Tequilla and screwing Mexican whores during his AWOL coke binges.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:41 pmIran Oil Bourse to deal blow to dollar
the bourse will be inaugurated during the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (February 1-11) at the latest.
Many experts believe the inauguration of the bourse would significantly devalue the greenback and push the US economy into its worst crisis since the 1930s.

January 4th, 2008 at 3:45 pmSo whats he supposed to do, walk down to the White House, knock on the gates and tell them he wants to take a blood sample from the President?
Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 4, 2008 @ 3:33 pm
It IS kind of interesting that POTUS is probably one of the few jobs left in this country that doesn’t require drug testing. But seriously, I doubt Bush is doing lines of coke or any other illegal substance — I think he’s managed to come by his dimness naturally.
As far as his television watching — I couldn’t really care less whether he watched the Iowa results or not. He’s not running again, his vice-president isn’t running, and he doesn’t appear to have a hand-selected puppet running (although Romney seems to want that role, if his constant sucking up to the prez is an indication).
Bush doesn’t have a horse in this race, so his attention to it is pretty irrelevant.
But I will say it would have been nice if he could have paid this much attention to other current events during his time in office.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:46 pm38-wait, if haggard, disoriented, and confused is a suggestion of being a cokehead…..LET ME MAKE IT QUITE CLEAR, THIS IS JUST MY NORMAL LOOK!!!!!!! :)

January 4th, 2008 at 3:50 pmAnd then, when the veep picker picked hisself, said, yep!
Wel, Duh-bya does have a vested interest in the outcome. Clinton, by virtue of Bill’s close relationship with GHWB, would be the preferred outcome with the least chance of prosecution for f*ing crimes of the past seven years.
Comment by NCBlueneck — January 4, 2008 @ 3:35 pm
Or any Republican, since I doubt any of the GOP contenders will put the screws to Bushney after January 20, 2009. Come to think of it, I’m wondering if any of the Dems will, either. Clinton and Obama have both said they are against impeachment, and Edwards hasn’t been doing any saber rattling.
BTW — are you a native North Carolinian? Or a transplant, like me?
January 4th, 2008 at 3:51 pmBush said he “understands the excitement of the winners and the disappointment of the losers and the range of emotions that go with these events.â€
This from a man who has the emotional range of a pebble..?

January 4th, 2008 at 3:53 pmLOL – now that the Iowa caucuses are over, RCP is finally showing general election polls, and only ones showing Obama over Guilianni and Romney.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/latestpolls/index.html
Previous polls showed McCain trouncing all Dems, so, of course, a poll showing Obama vs. McCain is not available. Most importantly, these polls show the Dem with the typical 45% share of the vote, which is the ceiling of their support, while the large percent of undecideds always come home to the Republican for the win.

January 4th, 2008 at 4:24 pmYep! Kinda like actually losing the 2000 election (disappointment) but relying on the right-favored Supreme Court to “give” you the victory (excitement).
That’s quite an emotional range, right there.

As I remember it, it was a gigantic problem that Clinton had inhaled marijuana during his college years. (albeit on British soil so it wasn’t illegal). Then all of a sudden Shrub snorting coke isn’t a problem if it didn’t happen in the last 10 years.
I have to agree with the moralizing conservatives that our morals have fallen.

January 4th, 2008 at 5:06 pmAnd I find it amazing that they lie about EVERYTHING. If you click on the link to the Yahoo story about Bush watching the results – the 3 related stories to the left all say “Bush not staying up for Iowa results”. Amazing. Maybe there was a terrorist threat in his TV room and he had to fake out the terrorists in there? They got stuck up in the Lincoln bedroom sleeping with Karl instead.

Hey, don’t get me wrong. I would have loved to been able to get away with going AWOL for a few little vacations of snorting coke, shooting tequilla, and screwing whores. But, my daddy wasn’t a Republican Congressman.
