House GOP attacks ‘Beijing George’ Bush for rebuffing their political stunt on drilling.
House GOP attacks ‘Beijing George’ Bush for rebuffing their political stunt on drilling.
Yesterday, President Bush refused a Republican request to convene a special session of Congress for political grandstanding on oil drilling. In a “legislative update sent to GOP members and staff” today, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) accused “‘Beijing George’ Bush of throwing House Republicans ‘under the bone-dry bus’ on his way to the Olympics.” From the memo:
Today, in his final term, the wildly unpopular President George W. Bush boarded Air Force One bound for the Beijing Olympics and a meeting with his chum Hu Jintao, the dapper ruler of a nuclear armed, communist dictatorship. … Perhaps our Compassionate Conservative-in-Chief will bring our absent Democrat Congress some ‘Made in (communist) China’ souvenir t-shirts: “Bush went to Beijing and all I got was this lousy five week, paid vacation.“
Attempting to heal the rift, White House spokesman Tony Fratto told the Hill that House conservatives are “doing the right thing by shining a light on this issue.”

August 5th, 2008 at 10:53 pmi wouldnt take that if i were a repuke, i’d might be more inclined to IMPEACH THE TRAITOR…
hahaha! gop’ers got thrown under the bus AGAIN….
awesome!
August 5th, 2008 at 10:56 pmActually RNC threw the House GOP under the bus. All their money is going to that white-haired dude, leaving them pennies and empty promises. They should be attacking that white-haired guy who’s spending money they could use on worthless attack ads that even MADtv wouldn’t think is funny.
August 5th, 2008 at 10:59 pmQuick! Someone open the windows! The hot air coming from all the irate GOPpers stuck in the Capital may cause them to pass out from their bloviated outrage.
They sit on their hands for seven and a half years and now that congress is out of session they NOW want to do something. Unbelievable!
“The strategy of being obstructionist can work or fail … and so far it’s working for us.” – Trent Lott Former GOP Senator, now big time lobbyist
Failing now….
August 5th, 2008 at 11:03 pmUh-oh… the Republican “grown-ups” have finally turned their wicked little name-calling machine on their own WPE.
Things could get ugly from here on out…
August 5th, 2008 at 11:03 pmLet’s haul all these recalcitrant GOOPers to Dr Nick Riviera’s all night dental service for some fun drillin!
August 5th, 2008 at 11:08 pmHmm, Republican self-destruct mode is in full swing.
I like it!
August 5th, 2008 at 11:08 pmSo has Boner been sighted weeping?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:10 pmAnd to my dipshit representative, the reprehensible JEB HENSARLING who’s spearheading this stunt, a grand FCUK YOU.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:11 pmWhat a joke. This make-believe Rovian Rift between GWB and the GOP congress is designed to distract and further separate McCain from these jokesters who haunt his past. On Capitol Hill, McCain is in absentia.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:29 pmSee? They eat their own…
August 5th, 2008 at 11:37 pmTerry Schiavo has been reincarnated as an offshore drilling platform. All efforts possible within the imaginings of the sub-human, (RepubCo), mind must be made to rescue this stupid idea.
Maybe even Shruby is getting sick of his wacked out brethren.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:41 pmNaw. Shrubby ain’t lettin’ nothin’ get between him an’ some o’ that Mushu Pork! An’ now Boner’s cryin’ ’cause all he gots is oil companies climbin’ his neck about gettin’ them some more of OUR oil! Poor Boner can’t get it up for the oil companies!
August 5th, 2008 at 11:49 pmChildren throwing temper-tantrums is all this is. They’ve been spoiled for so long they can’t understand the concept of the word “no.” This time I hope the Democratic side stands firm instead of breaking sown and changing the Republican’s soiled diapers again.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:54 pmAll I have to say to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) is be thankful you get a 5 week paid vacation. That big check your going to get while on vacation would make a big difference to many people that are laid off of work.
And as John Kenneth Galbraith so eloquently stated:
August 5th, 2008 at 11:55 pm“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”
“Bush went to Beijing and all I got was this lousy five week, paid vacation.“
We democratically elected politicians to represent us and all we got was a lousy dictatorship.

August 5th, 2008 at 11:55 pmThaddeus doesn’t have to rely on Beijing George for his made in China t-shirt, he can head down to his local Walmart. They sell them in spades.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:56 pmAfter their House stunt, Republicans can take time to come up with a clever response to the question their constituents are sure to ask, “Why should Republicans be trusted to fix the mess Republicans made?”
August 5th, 2008 at 11:56 pmThad didn’t just get thrown under the bus, he got ditched from the plane. Air Force One is full of Bush family members and a few loyal, high dollar friends.
The Bush’s take care of their own, Mr. McCotter, and it’s a very small club. But #41 & #43 dropped off for a Christian visit to Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s home country!
August 6th, 2008 at 12:00 ameating their own… what a bunch of a**holes. how do these people sleep at night?
how quickly the rubber stamp turns into a middle finger when mr. unpopular is about to leave the white house, the country and his own party in utter shambles.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:01 amSeriously….?
Do the republicans keep cutting education funding in hopes that the general public will be stupid enough to buy all this sh!t?
August 6th, 2008 at 12:06 amNope.
The Republicans keep cutting education funding KNOWING that much of the general public will be stupid enough to buy all their sh!t

Man, I think you got it right on. They are so desperate that they will do or say anything to distract pretty dumbed-down Americans. A lot of people will fall for this crap.

No matter where he is, McCain is in absentia.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:51 amBut..but..but See Bush does not care for you. It is us, your hardworking Repugnent representatives that are doing the really hard work. We really do care for all you poor suckers.. um constituents! It is Bush and the Dems that have screwed this country not us. We know how to fix the vote.. um problems they created. All you gotta do is TRUST us and Grampy McFlipFlop.. um Our True Blue, Strieght Talkin, Veteran American Hero.
Did I get that about right?

Misleading headline. One Representative does not equal “House GOP”.
You need to learn how to read and comprehend.
a “legislative update sent to GOP members and staff”
Means it is on the Record.
Attempting to heal the rift, White House spokesman Tony Fratto told the Hill that House conservatives are “doing the right thing by shining a light on this issue.”
If it was just ONE GOP Goon then why is the WH even responding?
August 6th, 2008 at 1:03 amThis is the beginning of the final meltdown of the Grand Old Party… Paris Hilton has just released a video that mocks the Goofy Old McMocker. Here we go with the House GOP attacking Bejiung Bush? Old McMocker is trying to get his wife to enter some bikers’ strip “beauty” contest… It is truly GOP Meltdown time and we have three months of this nonsense to wade through before the Presidential Election… whew… Will Fox and CNN be playing Paris Hilton’s satirical video in an endless loop? Or will it be deep-sixed because she may be showing some anti-Old McMocker feelings?
August 6th, 2008 at 1:05 amOld McBuffaloChip: a revolting cad or totally clueless? You decide…
August 6th, 2008 at 1:09 amHouse Conservatives sound like cry babies.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:10 amBy god, that’s some funny shit…
August 6th, 2008 at 1:16 amI wonder if Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears are on Air Force One. Talk about a fabulous plane ride to Beijing!!! After they finish with him, old Dubya would be walking on the tarmac with a limp. Hell, even the first lady would be walking on the tarmat wobbling!!
August 6th, 2008 at 1:19 amobamagr8,
How dense can you be? What do you mean “Where does it say that Fratto was responding to McCotter’s memo?”.
It says in the article, you reading comprehension-challenged troll. Where exactly, you ask? Well, where it reads “Asked for comment, White House Tony Fratto said[...]” right after it mentions how the memo ends.
Can you make logical connections at all? Please, don’t mention rational and thought to me ever again. You’ve shown you can’t even read plain English.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:36 amYou didn’t even read the article, did you obamagr8?
That’s why you don’t know what you are talking about. Not that I am surprised or anything.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:39 amSo, House GOP throws Beijing Bush under the bus for rebuffing their oil drilling political stunt. It’s hard out there for the House GOP pimps. Bummer.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:54 amHow phony. they threw themselves under the bus.
repugs want stage events on bs for the sake of big oil.
why don’t they stage their event in protest of chimpy’s visit to China because of the above reasons they have stated?
Purely grade-c repug ham theater.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:25 amThe congress and senate have perks coming out of our pockets. they can miss work and still get paid. They can vote on their own raises. How many “breaks” do they get a year? Their healthcare is off the charts. Didn’t they just give up their free shoeshine, just like the olden days? Spit shine from a colored boy of 46 yrs.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:45 amThese Republic fools are finally beginning to see what their leader, George W Bush, is really about. Bush is only about himself and what benefits him. The Republics in Congress have done Bush’s bidding throughout the last 7.5 years and now he abandons them in their hour of need. Too bad, too sad, the truth hurts. Only 166 days left of the Bush Regime.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:59 am““‘Beijing George’ Bush of throwing House Republicans ‘under the bone-dry bus’ on his way to the Olympics.”
I’d gladly pay to fill up the bus if I could drive it back and forth over these assclowns.
August 6th, 2008 at 6:39 am“Beijing George” is, of course, the son of “China Bush,” whose close ties to China led to lowering barriers to the export of sensitive military and “dual use” technologies to China with the so-called China “Green Line” in the then COCOM trade regime.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:04 amA Dallas rentboy male escort buddy of ours says that the Minneapolis rentboys are so swamped with GOP convention bookings, they are begging for reinforcements from other large cities to bunk in for the week. Rates, usually $150 to $250 per hour, are going as high as $500 and may go up more. The rentboys of Denver, for the Dems, say that business is pretty slow. Some of the Denver whores will do Minneapolis and take a vacation during the Dem week. Our friend says that TOPS are particularly needed for the GOP. (This is not a joke posting.)

If I were a Republican, I would be embarrassed too.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:43 amWell, it seems that the worm has turned. Apparently it is now OK for the GOP to beat up on George W. Bush. It was only a few days ago when he was still their “Dear Leader” who could do no wrong. No proposal by the White House was too extreme for Republicans…. suspend habeas corpus? Sure! Torture detainees? Sure!! Give huge tax cuts to the already wealthy who don’t need them? SURE!!!! But…. stand in the way of one political stunt and they turned on you, George!
How. Sad. For. Them.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:56 amSo if, as the WH spokesman calims, House conservatives are “doing the right thing by shining a light on this issue,” then by refusing to aid the House conservatives isn’t Bush doing the wrong thing? Oh, that’s right, why change now.

Is it **REALLY** a rift, or a stunt so that the congressmen can say they aren’t Shrub clones for the coming election ??

August 6th, 2008 at 10:37 amAt least half of these posers will not be re-elected in November. They are worthless, accomplishing nothing of benefit by playing games on the House floor.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:26 amRep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) sounds like he’s a few bricks short of a full load.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pmIn a debate on energy policy he would get his ass kicked by Paris Hilton.
The GOP is so desperate to pull one last scam on the American public before the 2008 election they are becoming a laughingstock.
