PHILLY CONNECTION

A Little Sympathy for Bush? WTF?

posted Friday, 7 December 2007

    I'm finding this as hard to believe as you are, folks, but I'm actually feeling a little sympathy for our dunderhead of a president.

    WTF???

    Well, apparently, during a press conference about providing relief for some mortgage holders, he very clearly and precisely gave out a toll--free number for people to call. Unfortunately, he gave out the wrong number.

    Normally, I would be laughing at him and saying, Well, what more do you expect? A bright bulb he is not. But this is exactly the kind of mistake I could make, and so I actually feel a little sorry for him. He said 1-800 instead of 1-888, and for those of us old enough to remember when "800-number" equaled toll-free, it's easy to understand how he did it.

    Huffington Post is all over it, of course, and if you want the full story, read this.

WTF?!? is right. No sympathy for that piece of shit. He created the damn mortgage crisis in the first place with his neoCON economic policies. Of course I mean this in the nicest possible way secret service personnel :).

I think the number was on purpose and that pretty soon people who called needing relief (not the republican elite) will slowly die off... don't be surprised if a spate of unexplained strange "accidental" deaths occur in the poorer parts of our countries...

Where's your eye-rollin' icon???

My husband got these little digital counter thingys that count down how many more days till Bush leaves office. I was severely disappointed to see that the figure was still over 400 days. Makes it seem like forever.
