Bush incoherently praises Odierno for ’snatching defeat.’»

Today, President Bush thanked Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, who until recently served as the No. 2 commander in Iraq, for his service in Iraq. In attempting to apply the phrase “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” Bush offered this nonsensical praise for Odierno:

I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who were trying to defeat us in Iraq.

    Can a human being be any more stupid than Shrub?

    Never mind.


  2. Buckie Boy Says:

    Oh….my….gaud…..what an idiot.

    We have a saying in Texas….Bush is stupid.


  3. Lefty Patriot Says:

    Wow, he’s really even stupider than gg or gin. it’s amazing, and absolutely no wonder we were clobbered on 9/11, and continue to lose in Iraq and Afghanistan.


  4. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    Yeah, he’s stupid. But this clip isn’t evidence of stupidity. It’s evidence of inebriation.


  5. LividLib Says:

    he was then quoted as saying:

    “I would appreciate you snatching my foot out of my jaws.”

    the bust behind him has more brains!


  6. tombaker Says:

    I agree - if anyone’s going to beat us, it should be us.


  7. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    He’s totally wasted. I wouldn’t be surprised if the clip continued to show him fall out of his chair flat on his face, arms at his sides.

  16. flavorino Says:

    My prediction:
    Bush is going to dramatically deteriorate mentally over the next few years.
    There is really something fundamentally mentally wrong with this guy …….it’s not just being dumb or ignorant…his thought processes are just not functioning the way they would in a healthy individual.
    You can tell by the way he struggles to construct sentences when he’s not scripted.
    My prediction is he is going to be the first President that I know of to go completely Brittney Spears style bonkers after leaving the White House.


  17. bnye Says:

    I think he was trying to say “snatching victory from the jaws of defeat” not the other way around. Snatching defeat implies losing when you should have won. Either way he really screwed this one up.

    Exactly.

    The TP writer apparently used the comedy rephrasing of “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory” by mistake. Cmdr. Coo-coo Bananas, on the other hand, has no earthly idea what he’s trying to say…

    Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat implies turning an apparent lost cause into a win.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama

    I agree Sir,

    But I will bet that he has a Doctor Feelgood who prescribed a little too much medication this morning. I’ll bet as well that he will be down in the dumps for a couple of days because Dr Feelgood won’t give as much medication for a couple of days more.

    So you can bet that he will be on the rag about how we need to protect our telephone companies. A major downer.


  36. Merlin Says:

    The consensus here is he is under the influence. And I agree completely. The question is what drug. I doubt that it is alcohol as his handlers would surely and easily keep him from that. More probably is a prescription drug (for depression perhaps?) that has the side effect of blurring the mind. If this is true it is a further testament to the disintegration of BushCo.

    The strain of holding this crumbling administration together with lies and deception, as the true realization that the whole world knows the truth sinks in, must be huge.


  37. tom Says:

    Sure seems like Bush suffers from “Korsakoff’s syndrome”.

    I think you’re on to something there. Undoubtedly, his Korsakoff’s syndrome was brought on by his “Jack Daniels disorder”.

    I don;t know if it’s possible for him to deteriorate more from where he is at right now. If he weren’t the president, this would be hilarious - is it any wonder that this country is in the shape it’s in? un-f$#king-believable


  39. EdgeOnIt Says:

    Why not identify the current ruling powers, and those who snivel at their callous remarks, like this negative site, as eugenists? 1) if humans were ‘pure’, as (they) would like, then we’d all soon perish with one hypothetical pandemic; on the other hand, 2) if the goal of our policies is the purity of our society, then why do (they) ignore all plants, all animals of the oceans, and all animals of the seas at our peril? Diversity is a part of everything!!

    I saw John Kennedy at UC Berkeley outdoors when I was about 12. the man had such a gift and the cadence and manner of his speech was incredible. In my estimation Obama IMHO is in time as good as Kennedy was.

    Maybe Hilliary is correct, he is good at his Speeches and that so different from the nimrod in office now. On the other hand speaking of speeches and Hilliary, well I won’t get into that now.

    Yes, too young and beautiful! I should have known… BTW if you haven’t heard the song, it is on the Parsley, Sage… album, here are the words. It is an incredible song, that ties sex, psychology and religion into a stunning visual! The music really compliments the words, as you can imagine. This album is not to be missed, as it is timeless, and is as relevant today as it was back in the 60s.

    A Poem On The Underground Wall

    The last train is nearly due.
    The underground is closing soon.
    And in the dark deserted station,
    Restless with anticipation,
    A man waits in the shadows.
    His restless eyes leap and scratch,
    At all thay they can touch or catch,
    And hidden deep within his pocket,
    Safe within its silent socket
    He holds a colored crayon.

    Now from the tunnel’s stony womb,
    The carriage rides to meet the groom,
    And opens wide and welcome doors,
    But he hesitates, then withdraws
    Deeper in the shadows.

    And the train is gone suddenly
    On wheels clicking silently
    Like a gently tapping litany,
    And he holds his crayon rosary
    Tighter in his hand.

    Now from his pocket quick he flashes,
    The crayon on the wall he slashes,
    Deep upon the advertising,
    A single word poem-comprised
    Of four letters

    And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding,
    The poem across the tracks rebounding.
    Shadowed by the exit light
    His legs take their ascending flight
    To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled
    by the night.

  81. Subtext Says:

    Thank you, bnye - you’re absolutely correct. My mind reeled when I heard the clip on the radio. Not only did he foul it up, but he fouled up the fouled up version. There have been jokes about ’snatching defeat from the jaws of victory’, but I’m not sure he’s canny enough to know that there might be two versions, or that one is of a more sarcastic bent than the original cliche. And to ’snatch defeat’ from people who are trying to defeat us…? Well, fool me once, shame on….


  82. Ditch Mitch KY Says:

    George not only fouled up the quote, but he did it with his arrogant smirk, like — hey, I’m so clever.

    ************************************************

    Now there’s a Freudian slip if I’ve ever heard one — and it’s hardly the first time that Bush has used the wrong words and said something which not only conveys the exact opposite of what he meant to say but which suggests that his public statements and his private thoughts, whether conscious or unconscious, may be very much at odds. Anyone else remember these little gems?

    “One of my concerns is that the health care not be as good as it can possibly be.” — April 19, 2007

    “It’s in our country’s interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm’s way.” — April 28, 2005

    “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” — August 5, 2004

    (Months beginning with the letter “A” do seem to create a particular problem for him — but someone needs to tell him that it’s not April yet…)

  89. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    Y’know, I’m generally inclined to give the trolls this benefit of the doubt; that they are deliberate in their obtuseness, that they’re just doing a performance for whatever reason. I figure no one can be as long-term stupid as posters like Gigi and Bathtub Gin sound, so they must be putting on a act.

    Then a clip this hits the web.

    And I realize that Bush is genuinely stupid, and genuinely obtuse. It’s not an act.

    And he’s the president, God help us.

    This idiot only has enough brains to steal two elections in a row. Aside from that, the freak hasn’t scored at all! It’s all been failure after failure after failure. His colosal failure of presidency runs on greed and greed alone. The “have-mores” are the ones that keep him in power just for the sake if having more! Death to the Loser idiot Bush!

    My prediction is he is going to be the first President that I know of to go completely Brittney Spears style bonkers after leaving the White House.

    I teach college classes in health. One of the topics in the alcohol chapter is ‘brain damage’ from long-term drinking - according to information in the textbook, “people experience impairment of memory, processing speed, attention, and balance. Brain shrinkage has also been found among heavy drinkers.”

    Hmmm.

    Sometimes this idiot says things unbeknownst to himself that is true - it’s probably the only time he ever does speak the truth

    “I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who were trying to defeat us in Iraq.”

    Well played, counselor; well played.
