Default Bush's Thanksgiving Thanks

Bush Issues "Thankfulness List"
Pre-Thanksgiving Radio Address

In a special pre-Thanksgiving radio address broadcast from the White
House, President George W. Bush asked his fellow Americans to join him
in giving thanks for the following things:

“My fellow Americans, let’s be thankful for global warming, because as
these winter months approach, it makes the world such a nice, toasty place.

“Let’s be thankful for all of the food on our tables, unless some of it
is from China.

“Let’s be thankful that Pakistan will have free and fair elections, and
maybe someday we will, too.

“Let’s be thankful for the iPhone, except for those losers who actually
paid full price for it.

“Let’s be grateful that I didn’t take out a subprime mortgage on the
White House like Mr. Cheney told me to.

“Let's be thankful that nuclear weapons haven’t fallen into the hands of
the wrong people, like Nancy Pelosi or Rosie O’Donnell.

“Let’s be thankful that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s writers are on
strike, and hopefully will stay that way for the rest of my term in office.

“Let's be thankful that even though my approval numbers are falling,
they’re still higher than my grades at Yale.

“Let’s be thankful that Osama bin Laden dyed his hair in his last video,
because that made him look really gay.

“Let's be thankful for Guitar Hero III, which really helps you get
through those long Cabinet meetings when they're going on and on about
the economy.

“Let's be thankful that our military commanders have nothing bad to say
about the war in Iraq until after they’re retired.

“Let's be thankful that in nine months it will be August and then I can
go on summer vacation again.

“And finally, my fellow Americans, let's be thankful that, even though
Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, I’m still a lock for the Nobel War
Prize.”

Harry, you seem fond of directing others to appropriate newsgroups. Have
you ever thought of taking your crap there also? The folks over in
alt.politics would love to chat with someone as knowledgeable as you.

Every time somebody trots something like this out and into the NG, it
issues free license for all the Bush supporters (or the similarly
inclined) to cut and paste the latest "talking points" from the same
couple of sources and then all hell breaks loose.

Every aspect of life doesn't have to revolve around politics or
political argument, but when you are Jonesing for a political fist
fight there are a bunch of sites set up exactly for that purpose.

This is supposed to be a boating NG. We can and should discuss boats
without giving a schlitz about who voted for whom in 2004, who is
going to vote for whom in 2008. (Heck, if one of the longshots pulls
it out in the home stretch I might even vote Republican for the first
time since in 20 or 30 years....but *NOBODY* cares!! At least not in
a boating NG)

When I am talking with a fellow boater across a dock or at a yacht
club meeting, we can discuss a million boating related subjects and
never get into, "Are you a Democrat or a Republican? Who did you vote
for in '04?" In fact, people would think it pretty strange if one
wanted to take the conversation off in that direction.

Rec BOATS, not rec Votes. :-)

I've seen no cut and pastes here from any Bush supporter. Have you?

Harry posted his usual anti-Bush rhetoric and his post got what it
deserved. Where is the 'pro-Bush stuff to which you refer?



Only 427 days left in the most incompetent administration in US history.

Why are the Democrats running against Bush? He is not running.

Why don't the Democrats tell us what they will do if they become President?

You mean like "Laura says he has a cute nose."
Or other stuff?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to him pardoning the turkey.
Shows his heart.

And the claim to fame for the previous administration was what again?
Adultery? Ignoring world terrorism threats? Failure to do much of
anything worthwhile?

Do you have any links or sites to prove 'the most...' aspect of that
statement ?
