Bush thinks Obama doesn’t have a clue

Steven Hodson — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:05:00 +0000

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black but is seems that George Bush doesn’t have that much regard for President Obama.

In an interview in GQ the ex-president’s former speechwriter, Matt Latimer, talks about his book – Speech Less: Tales of a White House Survivor – and some of the more interesting tidbits to do with George Bush. Among them was this one about Barack Obama

Bush Didn’t Have Much Regard for Barack Obama: Continuing his assessment of Obama, Bush remarked, "This guy has no clue, I promise you."

[….]

Another time, talking about candidate Barack Obama, Bush said, "This is a dangerous world, and this cat isn’t remotely qualified to handle it."

As well he seem to think that Hillary Clinton was fat

Latimer writes: "’Wait till her fat keister is sitting at this desk,’ [Bush] once said (except he didn’t say ‘keister’)."

I’m betting that keister wasn’t the actual word to describe Hillary’s derrière.

Tosh.0 and the Demi Moore NSFW pic…

On Tosh.0 last night, Daniel Tosh sent viewers on a NSFW Google scavenger hunt for pictures of Mrs. Kutcher, Demi Moore.

Coyly instructing viewers to Google permutations of “Demi Moore” and variations on George Bush, Tosh lead viewers to what appears to be a vintage nude pic of Moore from the terrifying good old days when Brazilian waxing was not de rigueur.

Is the pic real? Holy hell, I hope not. I used to do bikini waxing and that is a nightmare-inducing, 200% gratuity situation right there. While I won’t link to the pic in question, I will tell you if you follow Tosh’s instructions, it’s first in the Google results. And it is pretty alarming.

The Tosh.0 clip can be found here. With apologies to Demi Moore and Mr. Bush.

Preston Hollow, meet your new neighbors: George and Laura

Duncan Riley — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:30:08 +0000

Although expected to retire to his ranch in Crawford Texas, US President George W Bush has instead decided to split his time between Dallas and the ranch with a new house.

The 8500 sq feet home, believed to be a 10141 Daria Place Preston Hollow has been recently renovated and includes 4 1/2 bathrooms, a cabana and detached servants quarters. The price was $2 million.

The President does not have occupancy of the house yet, so the White House declined to give further details. The family previously live in Dallas from December 1988 through January 1995.

Preston Hollow is regarded as the most elite suburb in Dallas, and is home to many of the cities richest and most prominent citizens.

Will and Tina Join Forces As George W. Bush and Sarah Palin

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:30:49 +0000

Although not as outrageously funny as past Fey-as-Palin skits, last evening’s SNL Thursday Special intro is definitely worth a watch.

The highlights? The beginning is especially awesome: according to President George W. Bush, impersonated by Will Ferrell, it is on between “between two very qualified candidates: the hot lady and the Tiger Woods guy.” Poor Dubya: he’s been trying to do his part from the Oval Office (otherwise know as the “Bummer-Free Zone”) and endorse McCain in a super-public statement, but things keep getting mysteriously delayed. It’s a good thing that John McCain (Darrell Hammond) was found in the Adirondacks, or he wouldn’t have been able to come and pose for an extended photo op.

And of course, Tina Fey hit it out of the park with a fetching leg flash and a clever reference to Governor Sarah Palin’s impressive campaign wardrobe. (Who knew that pencil skirts and nehru collar jackets could run up such a hefty bill?) Even though the New York Times was getting skeptical about SNL taking this and running with it, I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

What’s your take on the newest installment to SNL’s Thursday Specials?

EFF Sues Bush, Cheney, NSA on Surveillance

Dominic Rivera — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:22:46 +0000

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies on behalf of AT&T customers to stop what it alleges as illegal, unconstitutional, and ongoing dragnet surveillance of their communications and communications records.

The lawsuit also includes President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney’s chief of staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and other individuals who ordered or participated in the alleged warrantless domestic surveillance.

According to EFF, the lawsuit, Jewel v. NSA, aims at ending the NSA’s dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it. Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by former AT&T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&T has routed copies of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA.
