A little too much baijiu?

No one told Shrub that baijiu can kick a bit more than vodka.
What's Chinese for "sagging Bush"?

Is this email real? Is it a joke? I don't know. But it's funny as hell.

Ben & Jerry created "Yes Pecan!" ice cream flavor for Obama. They then asked people to fill in the blank for the following:

For George W. they created "_________".

Shrub - the gift that keeps on giving

Flashback: In his last year in office, Bush still didn’t know what the G20 was.

President Obama — in a departure from President Bush — has made a point during his G20 visit to emphasize that the economic crisis demands a collective global response. Indeed, in a phone call with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd last October about the financial collapse, Rudd told Bush that the best response should involve the broader G20, including China — while Bush wanted response to be handled within the G7. Bush, however, reportedly didn’t have a clue what the G20 was:

Informed sources have confirmed the discussion took place on a speaker telephone with a Rudd staffer taking notes.
After the President explained the pressure from Europe for a G7-brokered action on supporting the credit sector and reforming regulation, Rudd immediately insisted the G20 was the solution.

Rudd was then stunned to hear Bush say: “What’s the G20?”(link)

San Francisco may name sewage treatment plant after Bush

                                      

By Jesse McKinley

Published: June 25, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO: Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital, and a state, too. But President George W. Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom.

From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water-treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. ...(link)

"Shut The Hell Up!" - "...you gave up golf???"

Great commentary by Keith Olberman on monkey boy giving up golf.

...
    “Mr. President,” he was asked, “you haven’t been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?
    “Yes,” began perhaps the most startling reply of this nightmarish blight on our lives as Americans — on our history.
“It really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
    Golf, Sir?
    Golf sends the wrong signal to the grieving families of our men and women butchered in Iraq?
    Do you think these families, Mr. Bush - their lives blighted forever — care about you playing golf?
    Do you think, Sir, they care about you?
    You, Mr. Bush, let their sons and daughters be killed.
    Sir, to show your solidarity with them - you gave up golf?

"Well, when the president does it that means it is not illegal"

1977

...

FROST:  So what in a sense, you're saying is that there are certain situations, and the Huston Plan or that part of it was one of them, where the president can decide that it's in the best interests of the nation or something, and do something illegal.

NIXON:     Well, when the president does it that means that it is not illegal.

FROST:     By definition.

NIXON:     Exactly. Exactly. If the president, for example, approves something because of the national security, or in this case because of a threat to internal peace and order of significant magnitude, then the president's decision in that instance is one that enables those who carry it out, to carry it out without violating a law. Otherwise they're in an impossible position.

Memo: Laws Didn't Apply to Interrogators

Justice Dept. Official in 2003 Said President's Wartime Authority Trumped Many Statutes

By Dan Eggen and Josh White

Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, April 2, 2008; Page A01

 

The Justice Department sent a legal memorandum to the Pentagon in 2003 asserting that federal laws prohibiting assault, maiming and other crimes did not apply to military interrogators who questioned al-Qaeda captives because the president's ultimate authority as commander in chief overrode such statutes.
