Talking about Dubya coming up with food after his hungover dry puking from drinking vodka with Pooty Poot yesterday, it kinda creates an unpleasant visual for me.

Good things that George W. Bush has come up with --- now that's a null set.

Mayor Mike is having a fine week with the soundbites, isn't he?

First the "people need to get a life" and now this.

But if he were to come up with motherhood and apple pie, Washington Week panelists would be discussing his bold new initiative to reach out to stay-at-home moms, David Broder would proclaim it "masterful", and Time would run a cover that said "Bush, Motherhood and Apple Pie. Here's why it will work!"

No clue on how Commanding Daddy might respond, though.

Nothing Bush has ever said has meant what it sounded like it should have meant when he said it.

You betcha. When Bush says motherhood and apple pie...folks should hear Susan Smith and KibblesandBits

"If George Bush came up with motherhood and apple pie, people would be against it."

If George Bush came up with motherhood and apple pie, a consortium of Bush Rangers would have met in secret with VP Cheney and locked up the concession rights before it was publicized.

LOL. Thanks. I now cannot get the phrase "Susan Smith and KibblesandBits" out of my mind.

Does anyone else remember the follow-up to the “Marijuana: The Demon Weed” special on KTLA in the seventies . . .

The special featured interviews with murders and thieves who had drug related convictions and ask them what was their first (gateway) drug . . . They would reply . . . Mary Jane and the News-caster would look into the camera and say “Marijuana: The Demon Weed” – Implying that the causal link generating a life of crime was the rope smoke.

A week and a half later, an activist group asked all the interviewees if they were breast-feed, had eaten apple-pie and/or played baseball as kids. All those interviewed answered yes to at least two of the three all American activities thus proving by the same logic that Rockefeller painted Americanism caused criminal activity.

This thread makes me remember that little moment of Americana.

That's like the old Texas saying: When the Texas Legislature opens its biennial session, intelligent men will immediately check where their wallet is, hide their women and send their cattle out of state.

For some reason, that reminded me of:

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again.

"The Healthy Mom Initiative," in which all non-SUV car emissions are funneled back into female drivers' vehicles so that Hummers and other guzzlers won't get blamed for bad air quality.

"The No AppliePie left on your Behind," which makes the dessert pass tests over and over again until there is nothing remotely flavorful or interesting left.  Of course, Americans will no longer get fat, because who would waste the calories on such bland food?

Lousiest president and one whose soul is likely to rot at the lowest level of hell haunted by the tens of thousands who have had their lives cut short by his disastrous, criminal policies.

I was for apple pie before I was against it.

Ah, CT Voter

I see that you have been in training for a job as pundit in the traditional media. This headline is what? The graduation exercise for the first level of education? Next, of course, comes further training in how to fill TV air time not otherwise filled with the latest on Paris Hilton with baseless blather demonstrating how bad Democrats are.

The best of the trainees get to intern at FOX garbage, lies, news and humor, right? If you don't learn well, you'll be stuck doing "new"s part. No prestige there. But the advanced work is going to be groveling before wealthy right-wingers, perhaps even with the chance to do what Tony Snow does - defend the indefensible on a daily basis and try to look like there is no active skunk in the same room. Tony is good at that, but it appears to have taken a toll on his health.

Makes me wonder why they would WANT to do that work.

Nope, nope, no...

I won't go there, momma Bush and rotten apples wise. What a straight line lead in to a real ripping.

If George Bush had come up with motherhood he'd have falsely promised women that childbrith would be painless and when they expressed that it did, indeed hurt, he would tell them to "stay the course and not let the baby win."

If George Bush had come up with apple pie, all pie creation would be contracted out to Halliburton and all desserts would cost $400 per serving. Bush would answer complaints about the working poor's lack of access to dessert by accusing his critics of engaging in class warfare.

It's not just that Bush's ideas are bad -- his execution stinks too.

"locked up the concession rights"

for a Faith-based initiative. If you pray really hard after having sex or eating apple pie, you won't get pregnant or fat!

If he is so unpopular and weak that he would give motherhood and apple pie a bad name, why did the Democrats cave?

They prefer coconut custard in the pie in the sky world...or maybe cherry. <snicker></snicker>
