Bush serenades Cheney’s secrecy.
Bush serenades Cheney’s secrecy.
Last night, President Bush “said an early farewell to political Washington,” making his first appearance on the stage of the Gridiron Club of Washington journalists. At the event, Bush sang to the tune of “Green Green Grass of Home” about his upcoming return to Texas:
“And there to meet me is my mama and my papa, down the lane I look and here comes Barney, heart of gold and breath like honey; it’s good to touch the brown brown grass of home.” [...]
“For there’s Condi and Dick, my old compadre, talking to me about some oil rich Saudi, but soon I’ll touch the brown brown grass of home.”
“That old White house is behind me, I am once again carefree, don’t have to worry ’bout a crisis in Pyongyang. Down the lane I look, Dick Cheney is strolling with documents he’d been withholding, it’s good to touch the brown brown grass of home.”
Bush called his performance “the first and final performance of George Bush and the Busharoos.” (See the original song lyrics here.)

Good. Maybe this can be used as evidence at both of their trials for treason and war crimes.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:04 pmI’m sure the “journalists” present laughed and laughed at bu$h and his fu(karoos.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:09 pmHe must laugh his ass off at how much he gets away with.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:09 pmWhat a complete and absolute fool GDumbya is.
I hope this “performance” will make its way to YouTube so that all Americans can see what a moron we have employed as president for the past seven years. He deserves to be fired; to heck with impeachment and process and taking months to do it. Fire his sorry arse.
The ultimate evidence of his total denseness is that he relishes in such displays of his utter incompetence and somehow thinks it is funny to joke about such a tragedy.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:09 pmhere comes Barney, heart of gold and breath like honey
This alone ought to be compelling evidence of Shrub’s life of delusion. I’ve got six dogs, and not one of them EVER had “breath like honey”. If I’m lucky, it’s dog-food breath. More likely, it’ll be cat-poop breath.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:17 pmI suspect that W is the cat poop eater in that family.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:19 pmMy morning oatmeal just curdled in my stomach.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:20 pmWould somebody please throw a net over this freekin’ squirrely muthafu(ker.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:22 pmBetween GWB singing & last wk’s tap dancing, it’s a shame we don’t have some version of a Presidential Gong Show on the tube right now.
Personally, instead of the Busheroos, I’d prefer Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks doing “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away.”
March 9th, 2008 at 12:23 pmAdd this to well, pretty much everything I guess, but to his comment the other day about how he campaigned on the “change” theme in 2000 as a ploy, then reversed itin 2004.
Bush is increasingly lssing his inhibitions…he’s not even pretending to give a damn anymore.
‘Come the revolution’ in 2009 I’d like to see Waxman&Wexler (and maybe Leahy) and Jim Webb have a little public chat in Congress for a fortnight—not an investigation but just an extended interview, sort of a cross between Carlie Rose and James Lipton. Flatter the guy and let him talk. I’m sure it woukd be very revealing.
THEN FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:24 pm“Yesterday night”?
wow..you speaking english goodly.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:29 pmI think we’ve found a new contestant for next season’s “dancing with the stars.” The bloopers would be bang-your-head-while-rolling-on-the-floor-laughing-so-hard funny.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:30 pmSorry. Too much disclosure?

I was going to comment about his tap dance and now this singing, but your quick comment about the Gong Show has me laughing too hard.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:31 pmthank goodness these idiots don’t see their impending incarceration coming….they would be loading their diapers so bad…..there would be a brown streak from here to mexico

We wish…….they will walk just like always before…..best we can hope for is to get them out of power.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:34 pmBush is probably not competent to stand trial.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:34 pmWill he come back to testify in their trials or will he stay with the feared horses?
March 9th, 2008 at 12:41 pmInteresting that he looks forward to Condi but not Laura. If you go back to the origainal text, it’s his sweetheart that meets him…
March 9th, 2008 at 12:48 pmwhat, no video? audio?
well… on second thought, thank gawd…
March 9th, 2008 at 12:49 pmMarie @ 14-
Yeah, GWB is one happy feller these days, i’nt he? Securely thumbing his nose @ the world & already leaving, @ least in his own mind, the job that proved to be such haaarrrd work.
Definitely Gong Show material. Real fast gong.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:50 pmAnyone know if Hoover cracked up like this toward the end of his term?
March 9th, 2008 at 12:53 pmDon’t be too upset with Bush. Morons have the right to breathe too.
If you’re looking to blame someone for the past seven crappy years, look no further that your resident troll. He, and people like him, are the ones that put such a moron in power.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:55 pm#15: thank goodness these idiots don’t see their impending incarceration coming
– - Never happen. These people walk between the raindrops.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:03 pmDang. Mentally, he’s getting worse by the day. At this rate I seriously doubt that he will last until 01/09, impeachment or not. Here, Georgie. You should be learning the words to this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4
March 9th, 2008 at 1:05 pmBush and the Bufoonaroos as the slip into irrelevancy. They’ll be brought out of the shadows when it’s ‘crying time again’ and they’re arrested.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:09 pmBudk: Sorry, but the people DID NOT ELECT BUSH THE FIRT TIME (Bro Jebbie, Katherine Harris and the supremes did that in Florida) and Ken Blackwell, State Sup of Elections and head of Ohio Bush/Cheney 04 elected these morons.
BUSH STOLE THE PRESIDENCY TWICE.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pmA country suffering a major financial crisis. Nearly 4,000 dead American servicemen, all based on a lie. A major American city literally destroyed by a natural disaster. And all the Chimp can do is serenade about his return to his “beloved ranch”.
Sick.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pmHe must laugh his ass off at how much he gets away with.

Cough.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:13 pmIsn’t it suspicious how the military industrial complex is now trying to bail out Diebold – the company who took their orders in the first place to create an intentionally vulnerable voting machine? This is the same machine which was one of the 3 permitted by the corrupt HAVA act and which are in garbage heaps behind the voting offices now. This was the machine which Diebold heralded as “unhackable”. Hah! Diebold is being sued now by some of the states to which this high priced, easily hacked voting machinery was sold. They were sold a “bogus bill of goods”. That’s why Diebold is in big trouble. And let’s watch “united technologies” or whatever the military industrial complex is calling it that has put a bid on buying the rapidly crashing Diebold Company.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:14 pmWhat’s more Diebold has been a major contributor to the RNC and White House. I smell a rat. A huge, necrotic rat called ‘DIE-BOLD’.No doubt Diebold and the RNC were in serious cahoots to steal the Ohio election where the tabulations were being run into the basement of a RNC office in the cellar of a bank in Tennessee in 04. It will all come out when this clown is out of office.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:16 pmNOW how many people want to “have a beer” with this obnoxious criminal?
“Another round on me… hell, my investments in Euros and Saudi oil just made enough dollars in interest over the last thirty seconds to cover it!”
This is so dumb… we should be into impeachment INVESTIGATION or preparing for it… we don’t even need to impeach, I’m sure they have some illegal counter-measure to that but this should be on the record, not just TP.
I don’t understand how a 19% administration with no notable contribution or capital in society is getting off from myriad valid allegations. Did I miss them building half a million nice schools, or saving the environment, something?
March 9th, 2008 at 1:16 pmBadmoonman: It’s clear that Chimpy’s coming unhinged with each passing day. He’s grown immune to his Prozac now so he’s having to take the big guns to get the same high. Last week he was tap dancing; next week he’ll be “mooning us all”…..
March 9th, 2008 at 1:17 pmAnd all the Chimp can do is serenade about his return to his “beloved ranchâ€.
Sick.
Comment by GL2814
Anyone want to bet he doesn’t last six months at his “beloved ranch”.
Bush is not now nor will he ever be a Texan.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:19 pmThe uniform of the world’s most wanted terrorists is a three piece business suit.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:20 pmDiebold makes Enron look responsible, at least Enron provided services as requested and not fraud from what I recall. Diebold commits fraud and then instead of stealing pension they just get more Republican money.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:20 pmI don’t understand how a 19% administration with no notable contribution or capital in society is getting off from myriad valid allegations.
Comment by singe_101
Anyone find it strange that there have been no opinion polls on Bush since the 19% poll came out? One would think that the polling companies would want to prove that number to be a lie. But, wait, they are mostly owned by neoCONS and they don’t want to take a chance on finding out that the 19% number is true.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:21 pmConsidering he has no livestock, I’m sure Saudi Arabia will sell him a nice desert ranch.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:21 pmsinge_101 – There’s a massive covert mind control program going on which has to do with sound waves affecting the brain. There’s no other explanation for the massive amount of inaction taking place. Blackmail of congress using his illegal spy powers over them makes sense for them but what about the rest of us? These guys should have already been impeached. I believe we will discover something like Monarch Mind Control is responsible for this lax attitude among the people.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:21 pmBilbo: It’s because of the obvious – the more of an ass he makes of himself, the lower his numbers go which at this point are probably in the low teens after his tapdancing debut and his comments about his “pretty face”. Ugh! What a sick, twisted, egomaniacal clown.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:23 pmoops ~Hussein Osiris! :)
March 9th, 2008 at 1:23 pmWell if they prove the 19% is true, how can they increase the fudge ration?
He’s coming back to 45% approval! … of even hard-core Republicans, by the end of it. That or 45% approve of him leaving office to civilian life and not a trial!
March 9th, 2008 at 1:23 pmOh yeah, HILARIOUS !
March 9th, 2008 at 1:38 pmI’ve never seen such blatant contempt from a world leader.
He’s just daring someone to impeach his ass……. Nancy? anybody home?
If I had one wish granted, it would be for a full disclosure of how much of my tax dollars went for improvements at Crawford! It’s been reported that the ranch is totally self sufficient. It has it’s own source for everything necessary to live a life of luxury!
March 9th, 2008 at 1:39 pm….after the event, back at the White House, the President slipped on his prep school cheerleader uniform and “shook his thang” for Jeff Gannon while Pickles medicated herself to sleep.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:55 pmThe Time to throw this criminal behind barrs is over due!!!!
March 9th, 2008 at 2:39 pmFor there’s Condi and Dick, my old compadre, talking to me about some oil rich Saudi,?!!??!
UBELIEVABLE, I had to follow the link because I wasn’t sure if this was a put-on or satire…….but the tap dancing sociopath really said that.
Does he think we’ve forgotten the Saudi 9/11 link that the Bush gang would like to pretend doesn’t exist?
Does he think the American people will always pretend like the corporate media does that the Iraq invasion and occupation is not about oil?
Most of the Iraqis and a good number of Americans believe that oil was the motivating factor.
This is a big joke to Bush…just like those missing WMD’s that he joked (and lied) about. This guy is a fruitcake and the lapdog members of the corporate media are members of the cult.
I agree with a previous poster…..how long before Bush just comes out and moons the American people?
March 9th, 2008 at 2:54 pmHe is a sociopath with no respect for anyone or life.
What’s a “Busharoo?”
An Australian Jackelope?
Or presidential jammies?
Bush steams out on the same bilge-heavy barge he drifted in on. And as his propellers churn the body-strewn bay, he toots a cheerful little cadence on his ship’s whistle. Admiring media stand at the quay, waving a fond farewell to the hero of corporate America, while sharing their favorite remembrances of his sometimes-bloody eccentricities.
March 9th, 2008 at 2:57 pmFirst, Bush tap dances and now he is singing. Is this a hint on his next career after he is gone: America Idol or Dancing with the Stars? Blame Bush’s bizarre actions on Jack Daniels.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:05 pmAfter hijacking the world 8 years ago, the Bush Krime Kabal has it’s ringleader, The Tap Dancing Nazi Chimp, thumbing it’s nose to the world.
After destroying Texas’ economy, and now destroying the US economy as a whole — this criminal is basically saying “f_ck you”. Meanwhile all of the oil industry, the wealthy bankers making billions of the working class people.
The Chimp hs destroyed this country, our standing in the world and now all he can do is tap dance.
I really hope there is a spot in Hell for him and Darth Cheney.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:08 pmMore doublespeak, he wants McSame to follow his foerign policy ‘course’, whatever that really is, but doesnt really care about it, or Osama, the guy he promised to capture.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pmAfter hijacking the world 8 years ago
I meant to say : After hijacking this country 8 years ago.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pmFirst, Bush tap dances and now he is singing.
Comment by SP Biloxi — March 9, 2008 @ 3:05 pm
Has anyone notice that this tap dancing and singing is occurring as oil hits $105 a barrell?
Maybe that’s why Chimpy McCodpiece is so elated.
I bet Cheney is doing a little jig of joy in his secret bunker.
What other historical figure had a secret bunker and danced a little happy jig?
Hint: Chimpy’s Grandpa Prescott did business with him and his cohorts in the ’30’s and ’40’s.
What do you expect when you let oilmen (and oilwoman;Condi) take over the Federal Government?
March 9th, 2008 at 3:21 pmMission Accomplished.
Barfly, that was downright poetic. Excellent. Thank you.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:24 pmIt’s bush’s ranch . . . I see it . . . going up in FLAMES !!!
March 9th, 2008 at 4:05 pmAnd what’s more is . . . he may escape prosecution . .
March 9th, 2008 at 4:09 pmbut he sure as hell won’t escape persecution .
I think a great advertisement for Hillary or Barack during this campaign (once one of them gets the nomination) — is to use the videotape for Chimpy celebrating McBomb’s birthday in Arizona ignoring the plight of the people in New Orleans during the devestation of Katrina.
This is not a negative political ad : this would be the truth.
March 9th, 2008 at 4:12 pmWe have never had a president with such contempt for the people he is intended to serve. This man is a disgrace, both as a public servant and as a human being.
March 9th, 2008 at 4:45 pm.
“Nope, no accountability over here“(insert picture of Congress)…
(audience LOLing)
“That accountability must be somewhere“(insert picture of Article II section IV of the US Constitution)…

March 9th, 2008 at 7:13 pmSooner or later, a POTUS is going to snap in office and leave the WH in a strait jacket. Any bets on Botch grabbing the brass ring on this one?

Well, it’s not the rest of the world hasn’t been trying to tell us that for 6 or 7 years now.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:15 pm“talkin about some oil rich saudi”. now where does he stand? somewhere between crawford and the hague?
March 9th, 2008 at 7:27 pmThe dufus in chief does know that the song is about someone dead, doesn’t he? Well, I guess he is politically a corpse…
March 10th, 2008 at 9:40 amThe song on which he based his parody is sung by a death row inmate dreaming about home the evening of his execution. This is the first thing Bush has done in years that arguably suggests he has some slight grip on his real place in history.
March 10th, 2008 at 10:18 amGiven Bush’s antics, it certainly seems as if he’s laughing at US citizens. From the time he was “looking for the WMD under his oval office desk” to this song, it seems he does have some idea what he’s done to this country, and what his place in history will be.
March 10th, 2008 at 1:26 pmBeck is as obtuse as can be. Everyone, but apparently not Beck, agrees, Dems and GOP alike, that George (our little woodenhead president) Bush is the anti-christ.
March 11th, 2008 at 1:15 pmAdd this to well, pretty much everything I guess, but to his comment the other day about how he campaigned on the “change” theme in 2000 as a ploy, then reversed itin 2004.
Bush is increasingly lssing his inhibitions…he’s not even pretending to give a damn anymore.
