Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Charley Noble Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:39 PM Actually Ducros was probably comparing Bush to a prominent glacial geomorphological feature, the moraine, or maybe something to do with yachting, the mooring. This is all too deep for me. Cheerily, Charley Noble, in Moronland |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Little Hawk Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:01 PM My friend BDiBR (Blind Drunk in Blind River) thinks that "moron" is a word of praise. He calls stupid people (like his brother Don) "less-ons", meaning that they are less "on" the mark than he is. Don: "Hey, you flippin' MORON! Did you drink the last beer?" Shane: "Got that right, you flippin' LESS-on! Whyncha go ta th' Beer Store and buy some more, ya loser?!! Don: "What did you call me?" Shane: "I called you a LESS-on, flipface!" Don: "What the flip is that sposed ta mean, y' flippin' retread??" Shane: "I mean...you are LESS on than me, BOLTHOLE!!! Whaddya think I mean, eh?" And so on.....isn't life great in the small towns and suburbs of Canada? Maybe Ducros was actually complimenting Bush. I am surprised that this would not have occurred to Jean Chretien... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Thomas the Rhymer Date: 24 Nov 02 - 11:27 AM moron (i)n.(i) 1.) A mentally retarted person, specifically one having a mental age between 7 and 12 years, or an intelligence quotient between 50 and 75. 2.) A remarkably stupid or oafish person. (American Heritage) Seems to me that this definition applies more to the individualls that would choose to vote for Bush. I'm supprised and amazed that the people who would wish such a disaster upon our country and the world can even read... |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: mmb Date: 24 Nov 02 - 10:08 AM This is sort-of cross-posted, but is even more relevant here than on the thread where I posted it last night when I got in from John McCutcheon's Clearwater (FL) concert. His most recent topical material is posted to his website (www.folkmusic.com , with an mp3 icon in the left frame of the link to The Music) - and contains some of the abso-dam-lutely hysterical political stuff that had a packed house of 500 laughing, cheering, singing (nay, bellowing!) along and on their feet more than once. Most relevant to this thread is the song described as a "Collaboration," of which his co-collaborator-in-chief is totally unaware. The lyrics are nothing but excerpts from Bush speeches. John says there is no way he could make them all up; "Can you imagine how hard (all this) was to memorize?" "Ashcroft's Army" appealed to our sense of patriotism, since its stated purpose is to help recruit us all as Domestic Spies. And speaking of Patriotism, in addition to reminding us all of the true genesis of "This Land is Your Land" by throwing in some of the verses that have been expurgated from elementary school music texts and current popular consciousness, he performed a new song recalling what it "used to" feel like to remove his cap, place hand over heart, look up at the flag, and join in with the National Anthem. Oh, for the Age of Innocence! Enjoy! M. |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Amos Date: 24 Nov 02 - 09:47 AM Well I find him stupid in the extreme, and Ibelieve his elicitation of response has been through bully-boy tactics. I also think he is the most unpatriotic president we have ever had. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: kendall Date: 24 Nov 02 - 09:44 AM Bush finally apologized, under duress, for our "friendly fire" which killed a group of Canadian slodiers; But, did he ever even mention the Aussies killed in Bali by that bomb? |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Willie-O Date: 24 Nov 02 - 07:56 AM Hey, a moron can be just a few points below "dull normal". It's not like she called him an imbecile or an idiot. But I agree it was an inappropriate remark for a chief of communications; in that job, you're not supposed to become the story. You're supposed to get the right spin out. Since Chretien doesn't seem in any hurry to cosy up to Dubya personally, I wonder why he keeps indicating we're going to help invade Iraq. Fat lot of good it did us last time we joined one of those little parties. Got four of our own guys blown up by some cowboy sposed to be on our side. Willie-O |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: DougR Date: 24 Nov 02 - 07:45 AM Metchosin: glasses. You need glasses! :>) Amos: well, I think Bush has turned out to be a pretty effective persuader with our allies. I don't think a moron would be quite as effective. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Metchosin Date: 24 Nov 02 - 05:18 AM Sort of like the pot calling the kettle black, I think Ms. Ducros should loose her job for her inappropriate remark. What a stupid thing to say during that conference to a reporter. Her private opinions should be just that. Now I wonder if Chrétien will do the appropriate thing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Genie Date: 24 Nov 02 - 04:39 AM DonMeixner ("Bush may be a Moron but Ashcroft is the Anti-Christ..." Nah. It's Jerry Falwell. I'm convinced. LH, off to Trinidad shortly, for 3 weeks, eh? Awww! POOR BABY!!! But I should be back by mid-December if all goes as expected, so hang in there... :-) Yeah, Amos, I think Dubya, despite being intellectually challenged in some areas, is a lot smarter as a politician than lots of folks thought, and a lot smarter than some Dems I know.

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Metchosin Date: 24 Nov 02 - 04:33 AM speaking of slips, when I first looked at this thread I thought it read "Bush is a mormon". |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Boab Date: 24 Nov 02 - 03:43 AM I think if the Lady had chosen to pinpoint the moronic content of the Bush mob, a good wide spread of paint spray would have resulted in a whole platoon of brightly coloured morons. |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Little Hawk Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:32 AM Amos - Well, I know it's debatable, but Bush has proven rather foxy in winning a very disputed election (as we all know) in 2000, and in gaining control of Congress in 2002. This may, of course, prove less about Bush than it does about how disorganized and rudderless the Democrats are. Like I said, it's debatable. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Little Hawk Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:22 AM (Chuckle!...snort!) Doug, you are my favorite conservative, cos you have a good sense of humor.... I think this little brouhaha is damned funny. Chretien, of course, is falling all over himself trying to repair the "damage", and making a big deal out of what is actually the sort of thing that happens all the time off camera. He doesn't want to sack a possibly useful employee, but he doesn't want to look anti-Bush either. Ah, the glorious hypocrisies and shameless ass-covering we find in politics! You should hear what they say when the microphones are turned off! Rick could tell a few tales about that...but he is far too judicious to do so... Still lookin' for gigs south of the border, eh, Rick? :-) I jest. Hey, man, there was "suspected drug activity" just about EVERYWHERE 30 years ago. Illegal drugs, I mean. As for legal ones, well, they are a complete epidemic at this point. The War on Drugs is probably the most unsuccessful war of all time, except maybe for Saddam's attempt to take Kuwait and hold it. So, Doug, you want me to present Francois Ducros with a Mudcat T-shirt? Well...I would...but I'm busy right now trying to set up a discreet weekend with Diana Rigg. Oops! Wasn't sposed to talk about that... Okay, I didn't say that...I meant...um...I have to "feed the pigs" is what I meant to say. Yeah, that's it. But I think you're right. She does deserve at least a T-shirt (Ducros, I mean. Diana Rigg deserves anything she bloody well wants!). I'll think about how I can fit it into my schedule. I'm going on a trip to Trinidad shortly, for 3 weeks, so you won't have me to kick the political Right around any more for awhile... But I should be back by mid-December if all goes as expected, so hang in there... :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Amos Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:15 AM Doug -- Explain the fox part, wouldja? I am really curious to know what it is you see that looks like applied intelligence on his part. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: DougR Date: 24 Nov 02 - 12:10 AM Uh, Joe. I'm only acting as reporter here. I didn't say I agreed with her. Personally I think Bush is a moron like a fox. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Bobert Date: 23 Nov 02 - 11:45 PM Ya' know Joe, that ain't Menza but Mensa! Jus' funnin' with ya. Heck, I don't have a clue hoe that stuff is spelled. All I know is that I'm a onth late in paying my dues. See, they'll take anyone these days who has a pulse... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Nov 02 - 11:39 PM Doug, I'm really proud that you've come to see the light, and that you'd start a thread like this... Yes, he IS a moron. Makes Dan Quayle look like a Mensa candidate. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: DonMeixner Date: 23 Nov 02 - 11:08 PM Bush may be a Moron but Ashcroft is the Anti-Christ and will lead us all to literal and spiritual ruin. Don |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: kendall Date: 23 Nov 02 - 10:44 PM Just remember Doug, Time wounds all heels. Actually, I can't say he is a moron. What he is is a guy who desperatly needs to succeed at something. He has failed at everything he has put his hand to.His latest failure, the war on terrorism. |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: DougR Date: 23 Nov 02 - 07:54 PM Shucks shoot, Rick, you're no fun. I've already warned the Mounties to keep an eye on all you left-wing Canadians already. You really have LITTLE to risk! :>) L.H., how about you? You seem the adventurous type. Mooks huh? Maybe I better get the FBI to look into them too. *G* DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Amergin Date: 23 Nov 02 - 07:30 PM yeah you should listen, him, Doug....Ole Spaw's quite an authority on such matters....BG |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Nov 02 - 07:08 PM Sorry Doug, but in a press release, the Moronic Officials Of Kingdom States (MOOKS), also raised an issue and lodged a formal complaint against Canada as well. They state that they are a basically harmless organization and that a Moron with an agenda compromises the generally stupid but reasonably harmless position of Mooks everywhere. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Rick Fielding Date: 23 Nov 02 - 07:00 PM DOUG....YOU LEAVE ME THE FRIGGGGG OUTTA THIS!! I'm probably already on a dozen FBI lists, for even KNOWING Little Hawk, and I'm sure the RCMP, knew that I lived in a rooming house 30 years ago where there was "suspected drug activity"! As far as I'm concerned, George Dubya Bush would give Einstein a run for his money intellectually! (well maybe Dan Quale actually) Just kidding Honest "Oh say can you..... Rick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: Bobert Date: 23 Nov 02 - 06:44 PM Ahhhh, yir Freudian slip is showin' there, Doug. But gotta agree with ya' about Bush. You've finally convinced me. You win, dog gone it... Bobert |

Subject: BS: Its' official Bush is a moron From: DougR Date: 23 Nov 02 - 06:38 PM No, I didn't post this to bitch about the Canadian government official calling Bush a moron. I want to propose that we make Francois Ducros an honorary Mudcatter! So many catters share her opinion of Bush, it seems only the right thing to do. Also, her morale could probably use a boost about now, and that just might do the trick. Rick, how about you or one of your fellow Canadian catters trying to find a way to present her with a Mudcat T-shirt? I'll pay for it, if you will present it. :>) DougR |
