Liveblogging George Bush Junior’s Victory Lap To America

Ughh… people have asked for a drinking game for George W. Bush’s farewell address, which this liveblog will “cover” (as in, “maybe watch.”) Well here’s your game. Drink. Drink constantly. Locate alcohol and imbibe as rapidly as possible. YOU MUST DRINK, IT IS GEORGE BUSH JUNIOR COMMANDING RESPECT. SAVE YOURSELF. DRINK SOME ALCOHOL YOU IDIOT. DRINK VINEGAR AT THE VERY LEAST.

7:59 — The teevee schedule seems to think that this will only be 15 minutes long. Praise 800 Jesuses.
8:00 — We’re watching CNN with a nice gal you may have heard of, Campbell Brown. (This one time she ate our website for like a whole week.) She says that before Bush comes on, people must know about this plane that crashed in New York’s river today. Note that if Rudy Giuliani had been mayor during this, the people in the plane would have surely died and, uh, Greece would be nuked tomorrow.
8:01 — Here he is, in the Hall of Flags or something! The 50 people who care about him are there clapping. There is some crazy woman next to Cheney, who is not smiling.
8:02 — We made the mistake of watching him on HD. Never do this. He looks… gritty. OMG he looks insaner as they zoom in.
8:03 — He congratulates the Negroids and their children for taking over America.
8:04 — Thanks Laura, who has given George a “wild card” for tonight’s bedroom activities. Never again.
8:04 — Thank thanks thanks, blah blah, now let’s get to the motherfucking point…
8:04 — 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11
8:05 — Oh the crazy woman is actually the mother of a 9/11 victim or something. Um, she’s cool?
8:05 — We stuck it to the terrorists over there, not here, etc.
8:05 — “There has been much debate” about the War on Terror, but “no one can question the results.” O?
8:06 — There have been no terrorist attacks since 9/11, because of War.
8:07 — His neck looks like a turkey gizzard on HD. This is completely terrifying.
8:07 — No free country will ever elect killers, or something, he says. Hmm…
8:08 — Some chick had malaria and George Bush saved her.
8:08 — Our public schools are great.
8:09 — Our air, land and water “are cleaner.” R432rmkfewklewr24#@$@#$@#
8:09 — “I have experienced setbacks,” like every other president. Interesting passive phrasing.
8:09 — The point is, the terrorists are coming still so BACK OFF.
8:10 — “It can be tempting to seek cover by turning inward.” We must “reject isolationism” and its twin “protectionism.” This leaves only one option, we may infer, called “imperialism.” This is the everything of George W. Bush.
8:11 — … Does he have pink eye?
8:11 — Here’s a little diddly-o from Tommy Jefferson, who was presimuhdent 2,000 years ago: why dwell on the past? People should just chill.
8:12 — Now he is introducing the 5-6 black people sitting in the front row. One of them built a charter school after Hurricane Katrina, shortly after realizing that he was on his own?
8:13 — Another dude who likes him is going to Iraq and therefore can’t be there, drag.
8:14 — It has been his blessing and honor to rule America.
8:14 — He is happy to be a citizen. PSST, George: it’s not that great.
8:15 — For the final time, “goodbye,” he says. Yeah buh-bye, the end.

    Katie, ask him what he reads!

  2. OffTheRecord says at 8:00 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I walked in the door and immediately did three shots of tequila. Just to be sure I can handle this.

  3. I started at noon! But I can still feel the pain …

  4. smellyal8r says at 8:01 pm, January 15th, 2009

    And so, hail and farewell. I hate you all. 9-11. Freedom. Suckas!

  5. chascates says at 8:01 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Accomplishments: 2 minutes
    Challenges for Obama: 28 minutes

  6. Did George say what plea he will be entering at the Hague?

  7. smellyal8r says at 8:01 pm, January 15th, 2009

    We clap because you are leaving. Hooray!

  8. MarvintheCat says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Here come the pardons!

  9. OffTheRecord says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Oh. My. God. I hate his smug ass so much. There are literally no word.

    Did he color his hair? Also.

  10. chascates says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I can’t wait for him to mention that this is a ‘peaceful transfer of power’ as though he really wanted to have a bloody putsch.

  11. shortsshortsshorts says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I AM AT WORK I CANNOT DRINK. WHY DONT YOU RUB IT IN MY FACE SOME MORE?
    You people have no respect for the west coast time schedule, Mr. President.

  12. smellyal8r says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Wow, Lynne Cheney looks old!

  13. SayItWithWookies says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “I’d like to thank the academy…”

  14. rocktonsammy says at 8:02 pm, January 15th, 2009

    HEY LOOK, JUNIOR IS DRUNK!

  15. Plus, how long does it take to say, “I tortured the terrists for you, Merica! For you!”

  16. OffTheRecord says at 8:03 pm, January 15th, 2009

    9/11 Bitches!!!!!!

  17. My get drunk quick drinking game words:
    Victory
    surge
    terrorists
    evil
    epic fail

    I really don’t expect to hear the last one but it’s true.

  18. chascates says at 8:03 pm, January 15th, 2009

    He doesn’t remember the ‘Bin Ladin to Strike in U.S.’ memo.

  19. Rachel Ray Jihad says at 8:04 pm, January 15th, 2009

    911! The best moment of my Presidency!

  20. SayItWithWookies says at 8:04 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Geeze, even his sentimentality sucks. I remember, I remember, I remember.

  21. chascates says at 8:04 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Bush is STILL a 9/11 victim!

  22. smellyal8r says at 8:04 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Man, he looks BAD. Is this going to be a deal where he doesn’t get another haircut ever, like Lyndon?

  23. stowed women in the streets??

  24. Amoriahs says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    9/11, 9/11, 9/11…

  25. SayItWithWookies says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    The FBI the intelligence community and the military have been transformed. For the worse. And what’s this nonsense about Afghanistan and Iraq being wonderful paradises now?

  26. chascates says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Actually, the Taliban still controls 75% of Afghanistan. And Iraq has gone to a brutal dictatorship to a brutal corrupt quagmire.

  27. myheadsexploding says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    terrorist is the drinking word, obviously. good luck everyone.

  28. rocktonsammy says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    If I could afford shoes, I’d throw them.

    Did he just say “toil?”

  29. SuperRounder says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    That’s a lot of black folks in the front row. I wonder how much they’re getting paid.

  30. smellyal8r says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    czechy: stoned women in distress

  31. Squiggyfm says at 8:05 pm, January 15th, 2009

    So this is just him jerking off about 9/11? I’ve already seen this episode.

  32. The Neoskeptic says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    we’ve been safe since 9/11, which was the beginning of all record keeping on national security. everything before and including 9/11 was a freebie.

  33. SayItWithWookies says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “There has been no higher honor than serving as your commander-in-chief.” Well, for you, dumbass.

  34. chascates says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    A small band of tyrants? Like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, etc.

  35. bitchincamaro says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “freedomm”: drink!

  36. The Neoskeptic says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    there are no stoned women in the street. everyone’s too broke to get stoned.

  37. Pop Socket says at 8:06 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “small band of fanatics demands total obedience”
    Sounds like Rove’s kind of guys.

  38. Again with the world trade center rubble! What about all the rubble he created after 9/11. What an ass, trying to define his presidency with that word FREEDOM, rights and dignity.

  39. OffTheRecord says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    He is bringing people back to life! He is Jesus!

  40. EnBuenOra says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    This is really surprising that he would mention 9/11/2001 tonight. I really didn’t expect that.

  41. SayItWithWookies says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who lead campaigns of terror.”
    Explain 2004 then.

  42. Enjoy Paraguay, Douchebag!

  43. bitchincamaro says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    freedom

  44. chascates says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Freedom will be the drinking word.

  45. echoman2000 says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Lynn Chenney is older than “those who must be kept”.

  46. Squiggyfm says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Finding hope through facebook?

  47. Mr Blifil says at 8:07 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I do not recollect having ever served as your President. I simply don’t remember. No sir. No recollection. Don’t recall. Can’t remember. I’m not saying I didn’t, I just have no memory of ever having done so. No recollection.

  48. EnBuenOra says at 8:08 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Let me offer up a faith-based “fuck you, you fucking prick.” America is “measurably cleaner.” We took “decisive measures” to save the economy. Fuck you, George Bush Jr.

  49. myheadsexploding says at 8:08 pm, January 15th, 2009

    the addicted and suffering are finding new hope through facebook, er, faith-based, er…

  50. bitchincamaro says at 8:08 pm, January 15th, 2009

    should I order Chinese or Japanese tonite? hmmmm

  51. smellyal8r says at 8:08 pm, January 15th, 2009

    chascates: I think he meant the entire Republican Party…Liddy Dole is seated in Row 2 next to a wax figurine made to look like Bob Dole.

  52. sarcasticusername says at 8:08 pm, January 15th, 2009

    this man never manages to sound anything other than completely and utterly creepy; he even made the adorable obama kids sound creepy and that’s like impossible.

  53. chascates says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Marshall Pétain will be considered a better leader.

  54. Now back to Crawford and some chilled Jack!

  55. lightskinegro says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Hey look. It’s that asshole blathering again.

  56. sati demise says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    America is cleaner? only when you are gone georgie.

    lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie &etc liar.

  57. Cookie Guggelman says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Love how numbnuts was totally overshadowed today by the hero pilot.

  58. SayItWithWookies says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Oh dear — he’s leaving us with his driblets of wisdom.

  59. Pop Socket says at 8:09 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Supreme Court nominees
    bank failures

    These are the things he’s proud of?

  60. chascates says at 8:10 pm, January 15th, 2009

    smellyal8r: These people must be so degraded to sit there. No Collin Powell.

  61. JohnnyMac says at 8:10 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I had to back up the DVR to be sure, but he really did almost say “finding new hope through Facebook”

  62. caddylou says at 8:10 pm, January 15th, 2009

    He looks even drunker in HD…

  63. shortsshortsshorts says at 8:10 pm, January 15th, 2009

    He has such a stupid face. It’s hilarious. I have no sound so I just get to watch his flapping stupid mouth make outrageous stupid words. Sooooo stupid.

  64. lightskinegro says at 8:10 pm, January 15th, 2009

    goody evil?

  65. chascates says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Cause Jesus changed my heart.

  66. paolaccio says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Murdering the innocent is wrong! Bush is a Jew-hating Hamas-lover!

  67. smellyal8r says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Yes, we get uncomfortable about your constant refrain of good and evil. People who agree with me wholeheartedly = good; people who don’t = evil.

  68. OffTheRecord says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    You are a failure. STFU and please leave. Thanks.

  69. Yawn. What’s on TNT? I bet it’s Law and Order. (Bom bum, bum bum bum bum, bum. bum. *guitar solo*)

    Oh wait. It’s the NBA. Oh well. Basketball basketball basketball.

  70. EnBuenOra says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I actually feel like I have a good deal of ‘moral clarity’, and it tells me that Bush Jr. is an immoral, evil, shallow, incompetent failure of a mother fucker.

    And don’t you dare quote from Thomas Jefferson, you fucking prick.

  71. sati demise says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    sarcasticusername: to me he sounds just like Kim Jon Ill or North Korea.

  72. So if George is leaving and Hopey doesn’t take over until the 20th, does that mean Cheney’s in charge?

    (”Cheney in Charge” would be a great sitcom, wouldn’t it?)

  73. SayItWithWookies says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “I’ve often talked to you about good and evil. And this has made some uncomfortable.”
    It makes me uncomfortable when a guy with the strongest military at his command has a worldview that comes from the Saturday morning cartoons.

  74. Pop Socket says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “we must speak out for justice and truth”
    Which is why I want Rumsfeld indicted for war crimes now.

  75. Monsieur Grumpe says at 8:11 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I’m yelling at my Tee Vee and he’s still talking.

    Moral clarity? Someone must teach that imbecile what irony means.

  76. Cookie Guggelman says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Bush to America: You’ll get over me.

  77. The Station Manager says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Ow, my brains.

  78. Tra: Poor lad. Carrying the Bush genes he has always confused the word “terrorist with the word “ferret”. This is why special ed. was created.

  79. MarvintheCat says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Uhmerikunz are comin to expand ur libertiez.

  80. chascates says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Charter Schools good, Teachers’ Union BAD!

  81. Funky Cold Medina! Oh yeah!

  82. OH he’s pulling a Blago, only the people in the crowd aren’t crippled. And the hair.

  83. lightskinegro says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Round up all the black soldiers

  84. SloppyCronkite says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    i see examples of America’s character all around me: McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy’s are all near my house.

  85. bitchincamaro says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    where the white heroes at?

  86. shortsshortsshorts: I think it is the eyebrows

  87. Squiggyfm says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “And now the parade of negroes!”

  88. echoman2000 says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Laura hits it. Think about that.

  89. SuperRounder says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    This man has a despair in his eyes. It’s the look of a someone desperate to sell something they know no one wants. Like a female prostitute at the RNC.

  90. itgetter says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Oh god. It’s always wrong to kill for an ideology? Did he really just say something along those lines? Irony is really lost on him, isn’t it? I’m already anticipating the old footage that Jon Stewart is going use to destroy this speech.

  91. Why is he smirking throughout his talk? Cause he thinks he’s fooling us with all this nonsense speech?

  92. Monsieur Grumpe says at 8:12 pm, January 15th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts:
    His lips are moving but all I hear is duh duh duh doh.

  93. rocktonsammy says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    At least Blago didn’t trot out the coloreds.

  94. chascates says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Black heroes! Who knew?

  95. lightskinegro says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Hey look. It’s fuck face flapping his jaws again!

  96. smellyal8r says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    And now the portion of the speech “A lady from Pasadeana…” “A soldier who died is also in the room of freedom…”

  97. SayItWithWookies says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Oh great — we’re sending 60-year-old new recruits to the front lines! Freedom!

  98. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Murdering innocents in the name of an ideology is always wrong? Really? REEAAALLLYYYY, GEORGE???… head… ready… to… explode… obliviousness… overload… bzzzt… bzzzzzttt…

  99. Amoriahs says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    This speech has completely removed my snark, which has been replaced by a re-cap of the total loathing I’ve felt for this man over the past 8 years

  100. SuperRounder says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: It’s the eyebrows that keep fucking it up for him.

  101. You know, I don’t think he ever figured out what a president was supposed to do. Didn’t anyone ever read him the job description?

  102. chascates says at 8:13 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Can he really believe this shit? Is he really the most self-deluded person who ever lived?

  103. So how do I donate to the presidential library again? America needs to know.

  104. Incredulicious says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “The thing I’ll miss most about being presdint? Not being able to tell Jack Bauer to torture those rag wearing motherfuckers until they shit themselves anymore. Hoo-wee, that was hoot. Ah, well.”

  105. OffTheRecord says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Oh my fucking god. Seriously George? Do you still really still have to hide behind people who actually do good things to make yourself look better? Stand up and take your failure like a fucking man. You have run this country into the ground so much that the fact that anyone could manage in the past eight years to get up and do anything even remotely good is a damn miracle. JUST LEAVE!!! agh.

  106. and the privilege of my life to serve as your denizen madame president.

  107. Nerdalicious says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Short & Creepy.

  108. stumpycuse says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Will someone just throw a fucking shoe already!

  109. Mr. Tusks says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Didn’t the White House that Jefferson lived in burn down?

  110. myheadsexploding says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    c ya wouldn’t wanta be ya

  111. chascates says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    May we never see your sorry ass again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  112. sati demise says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Bush has only the 24% Sarah Palin base to talk to/about….finally over. thats the last time I have to listen to that psycho

  113. lightskinegro says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    And good fuckin riddance A-HOLE

  114. SloppyCronkite says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    His official American title is douchebag.

  115. Monsieur Grumpe says at 8:14 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Good night and fuck you.

  116. BadKitty says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    SHUT UP, YOU FREAK!! SHUT UP! GO AWAY!

    Oh. Cool. He really is going away.

    I barely had time to throw one shoe!

  117. itgetter says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    He’s done! Now can he bumble around in the back of the room trying to find a door that opens, just for old time’s sake?

  118. joe twelve pack says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    oh gawd! did anyone just see the chubby guy wipe tears away as the applause began?!?!

    vomit.

  119. smellyal8r says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    All of this monkey shines for 15 minutes? That’s it? 50 people in the room for a 15 minute speech? Idiotic. No Ugly Betty tonite for this crapola? Make him leave right now. Tonite. The end.

  120. clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap FAIL.

  121. TheeFauxhemian says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    I wanted to vomit after the first thirty seconds, so I tried to take safe haven in my bedroom, but the teevee box was too loud.

    Dubya lives in opposite land.

    It is tragic.

  122. The Neoskeptic says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    chris mathews: “it’s like teeball, everyone gets a trophy”

  123. Nerdalicious says at 8:15 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Blabberman must be frothing at the mouth at this point.

  124. SayItWithWookies says at 8:16 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Well, that was perfectly horrid. But a good kind of horrid — like getting a nookie from the neighborhood bully the last time before he gets deployed to Iraq.

  125. off-white working class says at 8:16 pm, January 15th, 2009

    anyone notice that godless american hunchback liddy dole lurking in the 2nd row? how’s it feel to be unemployeeeeeeedddd suckaaaaa! muahahhahahahaha.

  126. Ding, dong the witch is dead. Wicked witch is dead.

  127. Jonny Lieberman says at 8:16 pm, January 15th, 2009

    “I’m still smirkin’ you filthy fucking assholes!”

  128. “Our public schools are great.” In the text of the speech, it appears as “grate”.

  129. Giant Robot says at 8:17 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Imagine him giving this speech if McCain had won. Then again, don’t.

  130. chascates says at 8:17 pm, January 15th, 2009

    The Gallop poll from just a few days ago claims that 75% of Republicans still approve of the job he did. THAT is the greatest problem facing President Obama.

  131. ABitOfACommunist says at 8:17 pm, January 15th, 2009

    The first call on C-span after the speech:

    “I can’t believe these guys are applauding a war criminal! You guys are fucking n-”

    …cut off

  132. Amoriahs says at 8:18 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Campbell Brown’s sidekick just called Bush a “Gentleman”, thank God he didn’t add the word “scholar” to that…

    @shorts: that really is the overwhelming impression one walks away with when watching him, there’s just too much stupid for words up at that podium. without even knowing what he’s saying, everything about him just screams stupid, it’s amazing really; he does have one skill after all, he’s got stupid down pat.

  136. Matthews is destroying Bush! Wow, I know MSNBC is lefty but that is most insightful and correct piece of analysis I have ever heard.

  147. shortsshortsshorts: Allah or Jesus doesn’t like the west coast. I don’t know why you people don’t get this point - all the fires and natural disasters should be a clear clue or something. At least that is what my religious nut client told me (not the Allah part).

  152. Where’s the helicopter exit?

  153. Tra: I did and stand by it. He could barely contain his hatred but he did and he made great points. If this was HBO, Matthews would still be spewing curse words.

  154. What?! No Tennysen?!?
    Wanker.

  155. kingofnothing says at 8:29 pm, January 15th, 2009

    Also, he has a lot of nerve thanking the American people for entrusting the presidency to him. We didn’t do that. He stole the fucking election!

    I saw a Documentary about Jimmy Carter. Prez Carter was so damn careful & afraid of losing just ONE young American life during the hostage crisis. Just terrified. Now here we have Shrubry & the at least 4,000 American lives lost. For what? Here is the difference between a Human Being & a Sociopath.

    It’s amazing that to me that the GOP managed to blow their permanent majority with this populace, but even a retarded four year old understands the difference being hungry and being well fed. Bush has a history degree and forgot about the French Revolution. Bozo the clown returns to private life. So long, Dubya, you arrogant cocksucker.

    Over the past few years, several things are important: 1) With no disrespect to people with developmental disabilities, the word “Fucktard” is an important addition to our lexicon. 2) We must NEVER, Never, never, sign an extradition treaty with Paraguay. Since we won’t be able to extradite Paulson - Cheney - Bush 41 - Bush 43, etc. back here, we will just carpet-bomb Paraguay. OK? Wonkette Rule proposed: show of hands? 3) Timmy Geithner, and other Obama-appointed douchenozzles will be exported to Paraguay with Rodham Blagojevich, and others on a list that grows daily.

I’m tired of being so righteously fucking angry all the time…tired of arguing with ignorant Bitterz and Christards…tired of watching my friend’s formerly middle-class kids who, back in the day, would have bought their home and educations for their children with their blue-collar salaries. Now they can only be a.) meth cooks b.) Wal-Martards c.) prison guards or d.) have their Hummer blown out from under ‘em by an IED made from a US 155mm howitzer shell Rumsfeld sold Saddam in 1985.

    Christ.

    On the bright side, my 8-year-long fantasizing of beating Sean Hannity’s smug, racist face in with a 2 X 4 came to a halt on the afternoon of November 6th last. I set my DVR so that when I came home from work I could watch that cocksucker’s lying, sweaty, screwface twist and grimace as he was forced to read teh magic Negro incantation “President-Elect Obama” off the FAUX NEWS teleprompter. I swear ta Gawd I rewound it more times than Jasmine Rouge’s latest money shot. Hehengh..

    My dear Wonkettes, I have pulled something out of the shameful video archive of the 2004 “election” so that you can jeer, hoot and throw shit with renewed vigor tonight.

    Examine once more - if you have the stomach - the disgraced toadies, the fawning Bushite syncophants, the showboating transvestite Mayor, the rabid turncoat Georgia hayseed, WALNUTS!, the chortling Hollywood Austrian Nazi spawn , “Big” Dick Cheney and all the rest, chanting those obscene mantras ad nauseum while fat, deluded Repug fucktards cheer themselves hoarse.

    They are singing a different tune now, by God.

    Then I looked at the Online Etymology Dictionary. And it’s all clear to me now: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Campbell
