Farewell Tribute to George W. Bush
- Thread starter Godspeed
- Start date
Hey, President Bush may have not been the most loquacious, but he did more good for this country than Carter, Clinton, and Kennedy...combined. They may have been smooth talkers as is the current ARTICLE 88 but he actually got shit done. I was proud to call him my Commander in Chief...
Agreed 100% sir. Post wasn't meant to knock him at all. I just thought it was a funny compilation of 'moments'.
My most favorite being, "And our people have done a really good job of hauling in the key operators.... Ramsey Al Habib, or whatever the guy's name was"
I don't think it's possible to be in such a spotlight intensive position for eight years without at least a couple out takes.
When the hell did picklesuit become a sir? He's just a jackass JO like the rest of us.
I see wings and I automatically (correctly) assume senority.
A more appropriate way to handle would have been to also show clips from his good speeches, such as Ground Zero, Reagan's funerals, some of the video clips of him comforting survivors of military KIA. But this was more about them bashing the President.

On Letterman? I don't think it is in his contract that he needs to be P.C...
For what it's worth, it was a funny video imo.

He doesn't "need" to be PC. But in today's world, he is a notable part of the media, and should accept that responsibility. When all he does is "bash", he is part of the problem that comes when the media distorts the news by disproportionately showing one perspective.
Letterman is an entertainer whose job is to make people laugh, get over it.
Hilarious! Some people get too damn sensitive about poking fun at public figures. There's a significant difference b/w bashing and fun. Granted, Letterman is no Bush fanfare organizer, but it was funny nonetheless.
Just like ol' Turd Ferguson
"Found it backstage...it's a big hat...it's funny"

The funny perspective.
"It's not funny!"
Unfortunately, it's one part of the significant bias of the media. If the media would report the news accurately, then this would not matter. Since they don't, it just feeds into the misperceptions that much of the public has.
Don't watch too much late night TV comedy, do ya?
All politicians are skewered, some more than others, but no one is going to come out unscathed. And Bush, just like Clinton before him, provided plenty of fodder for late night monologues and sketches. Funny is funny, simple as that.
