Now THAT is funny.

No it isn’t. I’m sorry I was introduced to that form of wingnuttery.

All it was missing was a photoshop of the Anchoress fellating Chimpy the Lesser.

I only made it 1/4 of the way through. She lost me at perfect strike.

Though it’s worth a look for “Watch him – in a foreign and hostile land – go rescue the Secret Service agent who was being detained and kept from protecting him.”

the protectee protects the protector so that the protector can protect the protectee. The answer to the question, “who protects the protector?” George Bush.

I think I am going to append “In a foreign and hostile land” to everything from now on. It’s the 2008 version of “…and a chili dog”.

Do you think she knows what most people are referring to when they use the abbreviation “SS”?

According to a videotape of the incident, Bush turned around and saw that one of his Secret Service agents was being forcefully restrained from entering by Chilean security guards.

The president dove into the crowd, where people were arguing and pushing one another, and pulled the agent through the door of the center.

The alert President grabbed the drink and wrestled it to his stomach…

Gavin, t4toby mentioned a while back he’d like a repost of the picture with the tailpipe fucker.

Just sayin…

He is, in essentials, precisely who he has ever been.

I love that.

Remember when he selflessly fell to the ground to cushion the blow for himself when he fell off that Segway?

That video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs in our war against the islamic fascists. He is a man of great courage and morals who personally takes matters into his own hands to exact justice. Now that you lefty turds is a true leader.

All it was missing was a photoshop of the Anchoress fellating Chimpy the Lesser.

She’s going to have to get in line behind Michael Gerson, over at liberally-biased Washington Post.

But there is nothing to prevent me from waxing nostalgic. Watching the speech, I recalled meeting Gov. Bush of Texas in the spring of 1999, before he was a declared candidate. He talked with rushed intensity about being a “different kind of Republican,” dedicated to racial healing and helping the poor and determined to provide moral leadership as a contrast and corrective to the Clinton years. Because I believed him, I left journalism and joined his campaign.

Fred Hiatt sure does loves him some journamalism.

Even better, scroll to the bottom and follow the link to her “SoTU Impressions”. Never has a SOTU address been examined with such detail or care…

I guarantee you she’s got a Bush action figure somewhere in her house.

That’s the same courage Bush showed by volunteering for service in Vietnam.

Good thing that pus*y Kerry didn’t win.

He makes me wet my panties.

If it was Bush’s “best” or “favorite” secret service agent, I’d bet Bush picked him from the White House gardening staff.

I really didn’t think that was a poem that could be cited in a new and original way. OMG was I wrong.

He talked with rushed intensity

I’m guessing he was still snorting.

That video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs in our war against the islamic fascists.

Osama who, now?

Is there a way we can combine that video with the the video of him sitting in the classroom on 9/11 to measure the difference in reaction times?

Trying to read that mess was like submerging myself in a deep, thick goo of delusion. I could only get through about half of it before I had to come up for air.

Name the president who got it all right, all the time.

None of them got it right all the time, but there is one who managed to get it totally stump-humpin’ wrong all the time. Quite an achievement, when you think about it.

When Bush is finally gone she’ll rave about the next strongman too. Just as long as someone is telling her how to think.

Here is the Anchoress reading up about cats.

honestly I think he was more worried about is entourage being unballanced then concern for the agent.

Her little blurb made it sound like an episode of 24 or something, the guy got caught in a crowd of Press 5 feet away from Chimpy, it was more talking to the guards to let the agent though- not exactly wading into a seething mass of Islamofacists with nothing but two smoking .45s and steel balls.

eew. She is just, like, gross.

But who protects the protector’s protectors?

Lovely painting, but clearly highly idealized — for example, they left out the bars on the window.

Is it President Bush who has broken faith with “his base” or have they?

This is an impressive crowd of the haves and have mores. Some people call you the elite, I call you my base.

’nuff fucking said.

I think Little Chrissy wants Bush to take his “matter” in his hands, ifyaknowwhuddamean.

You lefty turds keep on mocking President Bush and all of us who appreciate his leadership. You are all a bunch of haters thats all the left knows how to do is hate and slander. Like I said last night President Bush will go down in history as one of the greatest world leaders and American Presidents of all time. It took many years for history to vindicate Abraham Lincoln as the liberator of the slaves but history did and likewise will vindicate Bush as the great defender of western civilization as the bulwark against muslim expansionism.

Nah, she’s got a Bush action figure in her BushHaus.

I’m sorry; that’s making even me sick, now that I read it.

tasting its first morsels of democracy and liberty ; that is one tasty metaphor! Mmmm, good democracy . . . gimme some more of that there liberty . . .
If anyone wants to see the pitch without watching the whole damn thing, the pitch is at 3:34 (doesn’t look like a “perfect strike” to me).

Gavin, what is the name of that painting and who is the artist? I’m guessing Dante Gabriel Rossetti or one of the other Pre-Raphaelites.

/art geekery

Huh. It does look like Rossetti (or at least the woman looks like Elizabeth Siddal, Rossetti’s model)…

I have no idea, alas. Have you ever seen the painting before?

For those that couldn’t stomach the whole thing (my marinol is quite the anti-emetic):

I wasn’t surprised by the, not one, but two tax cuts he got passed through congress, or the roaring economy – and jobs – those tax cuts created.

[emphasis added]

But she does make one good point down in the comments:

relying on the SCOTUS to get it right. That was a biggie.

Where she points out that the SCOTUS fucked up big-time when they apointed him.

I can’t find that painting anywhere but it looks like she’s about to break into song, doanit?

Shorter commenters:

I disagree with Bush on everything, but he’s a “good” man, and that should be the only qualification for a President.

This is just further confirmation of where we are today.

Kill enough muslims, and a large number of americans will forgive you for everything else.

We are not, sadly, a likable people….

mikey

I want to give extra points to Sadly, No! for that brilliant use of a post-raphaelite painting in this post. That is exactly what came to mind when I read Anchoress’s ridiculous apologia for the Bush administration.

None of them got it right all the time, but there is one who managed to get it totally stump-humpin’ wrong all the time. Quite an achievement, when you think about it.

Bush is the “some of the people you can fool all of the time.”

Tomorrow’s post:

“Did Michael Brown fail after Hurricane Katrina? Or did Hurricane Katrina fail Michael Brown? I believe it is the latter. Allow me to explain…”

no, mikey, we are not.

There are far too many who just simply exult to be killing somebody else.

As long as it’s someone else in harm’s way, doing the killing that is.

It makes me want to just sit on the beach and drink.

Shorter The Anchoress: Harrison Ford, George Bush – it’s all the same to me…

That video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs in our war against the islamic fascists.

So give him a gun and send him to Baghdad, already.

Here’s the money shot:

“Perhaps I am a dim bulb, but President Bush has never surprised me, and that is probably why I have never felt let down or “betrayed” by him.”

What else do you need to know about this kool-aid addict?

I didn’t know anchoresses got windows. I thought it distracted from their contemplations. Are we sure that’s not the Lady of Shalott?

That video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs in our war against the islamic fascists.

Is she pushing for another four years?

“Perhaps I am a dim bulb, but President Bush has never surprised me, and that is probably why I have never felt let down or “betrayed” by him.”

The Deciderer has surprised me many times, in every case by doing even nastier stuff than I thought possible. My imagination for greed, stupidity, and evil is mercifully stunted.

Damn you, you’ve completely ruined my favourite poem! Sob, choke, how will I manage now (raises lace hanky delicately to corner of eye, dabs, stifles another sob).

Pic does look very Rossetti-esque, though. That damn Siddon woman had the finest hair.

That video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs in our war against the islamic fascists.

Waitaminute. The Islamic brown muslim terrorists are liberals????

Damn. Whoda thunk?

mikey

Siddal, dammit, Siddal. I blame the aliens. Or Hilary.

That damn Siddon woman had the finest hair.

Interestingly, it really looks like MY hair.

‘Sup wit’ dat?

mikey

I watched the Anchoress video. The Bush pitch at Yankee Stadium. The build-up. I was almost wrapped-up myself by the build-up to Bush’s pitch. A fast ball better than what I could throw, I thought, must be coming up. But no! He throws a slo-mo blooper! A BLOOPER! A swelling string section can’t gussy up a fucking blooper!

Long-short: Bush still sucks. And may the Anchoress pass audible gas during her audience with the pope.

Except that I think the woman above has Jane Morris’ chin.

Cue cheap gag about poor Jane.

Interestingly, it really looks like MY hair.

‘Sup wit’ dat?

You got that fine red plait? Damn, mikey, you have unsuspected attributes.

Gotta frock?

Umm, no.

Got real long grey hair.

I didn’t think that red thing was her hair.

I may have gotten this one wrong…

mikey

I started reading this presuming it was satire, and was pleasantly amused. Then with the realization of the author’s serious intent came the horror and the nausea. Please, more explicit warning next time!

So, I caught the last ten minutes of tonight’s Republican debate at the Reagan Library in Simi fucking Valley. As far as I could tell, there were four white dudes talking about toughness and resolve in front of an enormous yet grounded and empty phallus. Was that the trophy for the winner?

The fact is, liberals are a bunch of faggots!

Time to die!

Is she pushing for another four years?

The only way that can happen is for the Administration to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution.

So, probably…

And look what happened to the Phonecians. Conquered!

Bwahahaha!

Thanks! I LOVE that scene!

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Seen my share of shit my own self. I don’t think I’m ready to shuffle off, yet. And I don’t think there’s a wingnut out there willing to force the issue…

mikey

I watched the Anchoress video. The Bush pitch at Yankee Stadium. The build-up. I was almost wrapped-up myself by the build-up to Bush’s pitch. A fast ball better than what I could throw, I thought, must be coming up. But no! He throws a slo-mo blooper! A BLOOPER! A swelling string section can’t gussy up a fucking blooper!

I’m hving a hard time remembering it, and I won’t fucking watch the video. BUt, IIRC, didn’t they let him pitch not from the mound, but from a location a little closer to the plate?

It took many years for history to vindicate Abraham Lincoln, sez Chris Saint Shame with total historical ignorance. Yeah, that explains so much, Chris. About your complete disconnect with what normal people call “reality.”

You liberals suck!

sadly blows!

hat video shows that President Bush is the great warrior that this nation needs

Yeah. He’d be great in a bar fight, where you can fight dirty.

Hey mikey, ya know why you’ve seen your share of shit?

I think my name answers that question.

Ah. I guess I’m the honoree tonight? Or sharing the dias with mikey.

Troll – you do like your pie.

whoops, I meant dais.

It is true, history did take a long time to vindicate Abraham Lincoln. Mostly because the racist democrats were pissed off about his freeing the slaves. The same racist democrats who supported segregation and opposed the civil rights act of 1964!

Actually, this would be Lizzie Siddall.

After he has gone to sleep, Iran orders a batch of artificial flies for the artificial toad.

So.

Secret Service agent?

Get real. bush doesn’t have the forebrain power left to discern one secret service agent from another. That guy, the guy bushie “saved” was the dude that carries bushie’s “stash”.

That’s why he was so motivated.

Secret service agent, you gotta be kidding me.

It is interesting that you can come here for the smartest AND the stupidest people on the intert00bz at the same time…

mikey

Give the “ess” some credit for suggesting “Perhaps I am a dim bulb…. “

I get the impression the Anchoress would like George Bush to invite her out for a nice dinner and then take her back to his place to see his etch-a-sketchings.

After a bazillion paragraphs of supporting everything GW has done the “ess” writes “You don’t have to agree with everything President Bush does; I don’t.

I shudder to think about what she doesn’t agree with.

Whoa—-now there’s a load of not sure what….where would I be without S,N! introducing me to such weirdass blogs? Who is this woman? I may have to check back with her. Is her next post going to be “I am the Gatekeeper. Are you the Keymaster?”? She just seems like one hell of a Gozerian to me. Holy Evo Shandor.

O/T New blog war about to begin. Hat-tip my co-blogger, Sphinxy. This time over Brit blogger Lionheart being charged in Britain for ‘inciting racial hatred” or whatever it is, but WHOOPS!! The chap’s right here in the U.S. and planning on a bid at asylum. Or so it seems. Sphinx has the beginnings, I’m LOLing over comments already, it’s popcorn time again. Just a heads up.

Crap, I forgot the link. I do that. I have caught another cold, I think my 7th since Thanksgiving. Is anyone else just utterly sick and tired from these viruses? OK, sorry, Lionheart, the hater with a cause. Click on my name for Sphinx’s report. He posted his screen capture of his letter to Chuckles Johnson.

mikey–I just love that!
Oh, and Happy 40th to Genius Bass Player Trevor Dunn (fireworks!!!!)

November is going to be brutal for wingnuts. Three days of loud, public lying about how the elections will go, followed by two weeks of drinking themselves blind; then a long, bitter hangover, extending through Thanksgiving Dinner. There, distant relatives will get invective, and gravy boats, hurled at them for the treasonous crime of voting to surrender to the terrorists. After dessert, sleepy minor cousins will gasp upon hearing that Mommy and Daddy are going to Hell for voting Democrat.

Oh, and I thought that S,N! had added the painting. I would liked to have seen the look upon my face when I clicked through and saw it was real! Wow, not all wingnuts are equally nutty; this one has enough nuts for an entire pastry.

There’s only one King of Kings and that’s Jesus. The rest of us, like Bush, are mortals, and often victim of our Achilles heels.

And those who were looking for McCain to be the savior of the Republicans were sorely disappointed in the fact that Romney kicked his ass in the debates tonight, and that McCain came in last, yes, losing even to Ron Paul. This could pose a serious threat to McCain’s momentum.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Bush, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
And I was like, OMG, let’s celebrate his accomplishments.

Awsome.

Excelsior!

For Henry Holland and Gavin,

A-hunting Symbolists I went. The artist is the pre-Raphaelite John William Waterhouse. The painting is Fair Rosamund, dated 1905.

“I was not surprised when you were on to something.”

I guarantee you she’s got a Bush action figure somewhere in her house..

Action firgure–jeebus, Ripley, she’s probably got an alter!

I think (President Bush) has lost his bearings. but then, so did Moses from time to time, it’s quite understandable.

Worst ever comparison of two historical figures? You be the judge!

I guarantee you she’s got a Bush action figure somewhere in her house.

Plus, it’s lifesize & anatomically correct!

That is … NO PENIS!

Does ANYBODY see ANY evidence that he is recovering?

Showing signs of different symptoms of leprosy do not mean you are recovering from leprosy.

“Perhaps I am a dim bulb,” but I contribute more to warming my house than an energy-efficient fluorescent tube would.

Mikey, I’m completely crushed. I had an image of you gazing with clasped hands from your tower window waiting for your royal lover. Wearing a very fetching blue frock, no less. Words cannot convey the depth of my disappointment.

Does comparing Bush to Moses send Teh Anchoress spinning headlong past Assrocket for his comparison of Bush to Churchill? Hell, I’m thinking the Mr. Darcy comparison might even give her the edge. Especially since Assrocket’s was made a couple dozen Bushco flush cycles ago …

I think the Moses reference was meant to imply that Dubya will keep us wandering in the desert for forty years too.

But once we reach the Holy Land, it’s going to be clear sailing for us — just like the Jews!

And those who were looking for McCain to be the savior of the Republicans were sorely disappointed in the fact that Romney kicked his ass in the debates tonight, and that McCain came in last, yes, losing even to Ron Paul. This could pose a serious threat to McCain’s momentum.

I don’t think most people care about debates, though.

Peggy Noonan is currently on the daily show.

Hopefully he’ll get Mark Noonan on next. He’d absolutely demolish him and it would be the best show EVAH!!!!!1!

The Nooners was astoundingly reasonable w/ Jon Stewart. Guess she only really shines when she’s on her own.

Best Accidentally Funny Blog Post Title:

Pull It Out For Romney. I laughed until I was crying. I captured it before it could be corrected, just in case.

“Rescuing SS agent” = getting him past Chilean security into a hotel ballroom???

“shooting the cuffs” = shaking hands with somebody????

Yes, our President is one brave hombre.

If only he’d gone to Vietnam, we’d have won for sure.

USA! USA!

Our Commander George W. Bush Jr. did serve honorably and bravely in Vietnam. The fact that it took place in Alabama, or somewhat took place there in a more metaphorical sense, only strengthens the point that he was a thousand times braver on his worst day than John “Oh all I did was get on a little boat and head up a river and get shot at constantly” Kerry.

Love the Shelley, and the reference seems so apropos…

…and when they came for the Wankers, there was no one to stand up for me.

Even without the painting, isn’t there something about her whole persona that screams “Ren Fair” and/or “LARP?”

I thought people like that were supposed to be on the Ron Paul Rev-LOVE-evo-love-o-lution bandwagon.

Plus, it’s lifesize & anatomically correct!

That is … NO PENIS!

Now, do you think Commander Codpiece would release a doll with his likeness and forget the penis?

Want a definition of true Bush Derangement Syndrome? Read this article.

I say get the Anchoress institutionalized and under sedation immediately, she’s making Britney look sane.

Nothing beside remains.

I hate her partisan bad faith more than anything else.

If this had been a Democratic president, she would be a rabid Salome calling for his head on a plate, not some “Anchoress” singing a paean to a moron.

… and when they came for those-who-fart-in-the-bathtub-and-then-try-to bite-the-bubble, there was no one left to stand up for me.

I guarantee you she’s got a Bush action figure somewhere in her house.

Taping a face onto her Rabbit isn’t quite the same as an action figure but I think poetic license allows for it.

At long last, Faux News John Gibson, have you no decency?

“You know, there is new news coming out right now that apparently Heath Ledger was suicidal, and his friends saw it coming. I think he watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, ’cause he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant — good looking, wears a suit well — but should just leave the stage.”

That video of Bush’s rescue of his SS man was positively the most heroic and courageous act I have ever been privileged to witness. One day there’ll be statues of Bush even more impressive than Ozymandias’.

I thought Anchoresses were supposed to wall themselves up in a church and spend their time in fasting, prayer, and dispensing wisdom. Not watching tv, caressing action figures, and babbling on the internet.

Jake, oh yes, RenFest at the least, but pray tell, what is LARP? Pardon my ignorance….

Far be it from me to respond to a troll–it’s a bit like teaching that proverbial pig to sing, don’t cha know–but I can’t let this go:

The same racist democrats who supported segregation and opposed the civil rights act of 1964!

Those racist Democrats are all Republicans now. That’s what the Southern Strategy is all about.

Now fark off and get off your mom’s computer. She’d be very disappointed to learn what you’ve been doing down in the basement all this time. Well, that and the compusive masturbation.

What’s an anchoress? Is it anything like an anchor baby?

Wow, the Anchoress sure suffers from a big case of BVS (Bush Veneration Syndrome).

An anchoress is a female anchor. Both are best tossed over the side of a boat in deep water.

Of course, the real question is:

After 111 posts, why the hell has nobody used the word ‘Wankeress’?

It rhymes and everything.

A little OT, but I think Shelley made a mistake by sticking with the strict sonnet form and not ending Ozymandias with the quote but including those last three lines. I think it makes the point better just to set up the irony between what the situation is and the writing of the king and then leave it hanging.

But maybe my sensabilities are just too modern?

What’s an anchoress? Is it anything like an anchor baby?

An anchoress was a kind of local cloistered woman in medieval times.

Wikipedia has a nice description:

“Anchorite (male)/anchoress (female), (adj. anchoritic; from the Greek ???????? anach?re?, signifying “to withdraw”, “to depart into the rural countryside”), denotes someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society so as to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic and, circumstances permitting, Eucharist-focused life. As a result, anchorites are usually considered to be a type of religious hermit,[1] although there are distinctions in their historical development and theology.

The anchoritic life is one of the earliest forms of Christian monastic living and originated before the religious life in community. Popularly it is perhaps best-known from the surviving archeological and literary evidence of its existence in medieval England.

In the Roman Catholic Church today it is one of the “Other Forms of Consecrated Life” and governed by the same norms as the consecrated eremitic life (The Code of Canon Law 1983, canon 603).[2]”

One of the most famous was Julian of Norwich.

The blogger, OTOH, is almost certainly NOT an actual anchoress. Likely she is a suburbanite with a pope fixation.

Clearly this ‘anchoress’ is a top candidate for membership in ‘The Masses.’
It is astounding what fear will do to a people.
Fear and the appearance of a guy who is an asshole of the worst kind.
Women don’t like nice guys. Bush isn’t a nice guy. The bigger the asshole with arrogance to back it up the dumber the broads who dig a wuss like that.

MYOB’
