Will Bush join Facebook and Twitter?

Will Bush join Facebook and Twitter?

Former White House chief of staff Andy Card said today that President Bush may jump into social networking, as he is “very technologically connected to the world.” When Politico asked if Bush would join Facebook and Twitter, Card left the door open, saying, “I don’t know that he’ll invite me to be his friend on Facebook.” Watch it:

A good start for Bush would be to figure out how to use “the Google” first.

    Bush is wired? Who would have guessed?


  2. wiley says:

    He would only do this if everything was filtered and monitored so that only fawning sycophants could post.

    No, you’re thinking of the other ‘bubble boy,’ Andy…Bush’s ‘bubble’ is not a miracle of modern technology… unless… is Andy admitting that W. is an android????

    Everything is falling into place… oh, god!

    It seems there’s hope on that score!

    LTdan Says:
    I hope he adds me!

    I hope he does too, LTdan… then maybe you’d be too busy IM’ing each other to pester us here…

    Don’t knock ‘the Google,’ man…

    The Google is God, man…

    As close as we’re gonna get…

    My thought exactly.

    Bush isn’t a big fan of uncontrolled communication.


  7. Roket says:

    Andy Card thinks W is the most dynamic person he’s ever met. Andy Card needs to look that word up in a dictionary.

    It’s called “Anger Management” Dan. You really need to watch yer blood pressure. Don’t want to blow an artery out, do we?

    And again, such a silly comment, there’s no need to rebut it.

    Who cares? He can join Fling.com as far as I care.

    Is Tracy__5 paying you to show up and make him look less stupid by comparison? If so, it’s money well spent.

    Unless, of course you meant to imply that Bush, being the authoritarian he is would seek to “shut down” any institution of which he was “not a fan”… is that what you meant?


  12. katy says:

    foock boosh…

    you should hear the speech our president just gave in peoria…

    from his opening comments to an adlib joke to the end – awesome.

    just awesome.

    So, what you’re saying here, ralph, is that Danny is t5’s opening act? He’s the professional fluffer who gets the audience… ah… “members” ready for the star?

    He could turn it into a drinking game and do a shot every time he added a friend.

    Laura, honey, can you help me get on twitter? I think my computer crashed. Everything I touch crashes.

    It makes a little sense in a troll kind of way. Showmanship, y’know.

    ‘Course, they got it backwards, and the opening act goes on last, but that’s to be expected. They’re trolls, after all.

    And burns… don’t forget the burning part.

    Crashes and burns, before imploding and forming a horrific black hole that threatening to pull the entire known universe into to it… like what he did to the economy, only not as bad.

    I had Danny pegged as a ventriloquist, ralphie.

    When he’s talking, I never see his lips move. But that could be ’cause he’s bent so far over you’re really can’t even see his head… and his voice… it allus seems to be coming out of his Cheney…

    WHAT? He’s the fluffer? I thought he was the huffer!

    The two aren’t mutually exclusive Shayne. There’s no good reason why Danny can’t be BOTH the huffer AND the fluffler.

    Heh… it’d make a pretty catchy stage name, no?

  23. Shayne says:

    So you’re saying that Danny is a multitasker? I don’t think so.


  24. Zooey says:

    When did that start…?


  25. losangelian says:

    He’s gotta learn “the google” first

    I never claimed he could do them both at the same time, Shayne.

    “very technologically connected to the world?” Who? Elmer Fudd?


  28. avchavis says:

    As we all know, Bush is not very bright. If he surf’s the web he’s going to need someone to help him! ROTFL! I’m sure he’ll have Card as a friend since he’s always slobbing on his knob!


  29. Jess Wonderin says:

    “very technologically connected . .” ???

    I doubt he knows which end of the tubes to speak into . . . .


  30. MapleStreet says:

    Wouldn’t Bush appearing on twitter be a security breach ?

    Amazing how the world suddenly got safer on Jan 20

    Andy Card needs to get out more.

  33. Buckie Boy says:

    But will he accept 200 million anti-friends who want him charged with war crimes?


  34. RUCerious says:

    Is there a special site called dumfuksrus he can learn how to use?


  35. RUCerious says:

    So Axel Trumps Card?

    He might be a lot safer on Ask Jeeves. No one uses that.

    Then again, I hear Video Professor has had a 40% increase in orders since January 20.


  37. SP Biloxi says:

    Three words: LOL! Before Bush joins Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace, he needs to pass the test on how to use the Google, the emails, and reading My Pet Goat. It is little too late for this past clown President for the last 8 years to show to the American people that he knows the Internets!


  38. whittx says:

    I have no problem believing that he could get connected. It is just that he will figure it out for the other internet, in the internets, a fantasy one where Fox News is reality, where torture is legal, and where Dick Cheney is an American hero, not the one that everyone else has learned to use over the last 15 or so years


  39. KayInMaine says:

    Oh please Andy. Don’t make us laugh. Bush has zero computer skills.


  40. Xisithrus says:

    I think he meant illegal wiretaps instead of technologically connected


  41. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    Andy Card is a dirt bag, a poopy dirt bag.
