Bush Hasn't Seen Brokeback, But He Likes Ranchin'
President Bush was asked about Brokeback Mountain after giving a speech today at Kansas State University.
Question: You're a rancher. A lot of us here in Kansas are ranchers. I just wanted to get your opinion on Brokeback Mountain and if you had seen it yet... You would love it. You should check it out.Bush: I hadn't seen it. I would be glad to talk about ranchin' but I haven't seen the movie... I've heard about it... I hope you go.. you know.. heh, heh.. I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I was going to say... I hadn't seen it.
I wasn't clear if Bush meant to say something else when he paused after saying "I hope you go..." or if it was just one of his usual incomprehensible mindfarts.
Bradblog has the clip.

Um...we're talking about George W Bush. Do you really think he knows anything more about historical figures or events beyond the most common anecdotes?
Um, yes.
You dolts have never heard the phrase "mind farts?" It's a phrase that bugs me, but I suppose if you all want to get giddy about it, that's ok.
Chad, Bush is a "stupid fucking monkey." You have nothing to apologize for. The people who voted for that ignoramus on the other-hand...
And you sound like a brilliant fellow. I mean, the way you have chosen such words to express your thoughts. Brilliant, I say! WeHo tripe.

Why such hostility Patrick?
If you are attempting to sound eloquent and more sophisticated than the previous posters, then you should avoid name calling.
I would tell my 7 year old nephew, “sticks and stones…” if he acted similarly.

No one's filling in the blank?
"I hope you go...you know...and see, as I did, the horrible and life-ending result of the repression this land exercised for so many vile years, as presented by the merciless and beautiful hand of Ang Lee...next question?"
'Evil' is right, gentlemen. A chilling reminder - still in power - that outright stupidity cuddles with evil in the dark of night.

JACKO, I enjoy your posts and usually you are right on target with me, but you made the life-ending repression sound past tense. Trust me it is not. Lessened, yes, but over, not. It still happens every day both in our rural and our urban areas. It was what made me cry the loudest watching the movie.
Bush could use a good cry too. I don't think he would ever get the point of Brokeback Mountain but maybe if he went to Ira.... oh nevermind. You all know where I am headed and this isn't the forum for that road.

"Why such hostility Patrick?"
Because this is the same mindless drivel that I have to deal with whenever I venture anywhere near West Hollywood. Bush is an idiot. Bush is a liar. Bush is a monkey. What a retard. And on and on ad naseum. It’s childish, uninformed and borderline neurotically obsessive.
"If you are attempting to sound eloquent and more sophisticated than the previous posters"
If I were attempting to sound eloquent and sophisticated I probably would not be commenting on a blog.
"I would tell my 7 year old nephew, “sticks and stones…” if he acted similarly."
I would tell one of my nephews to go for the jugular.

I always thought the term was "brainfart", but I can see why you didn't use it.

www.crooksandliars.com has some good stuff too.

It is a classic political tactic - don’t reveal how smart you are and your opponents will always underestimate you. He rules the world we post stupid things on the internet about him. I guess he is doing something right.

Well, I guess ditching the old sterotypes in favor of creating your own sterotype could be seen as a sign of progress.
I...guess.
