chokes on ... lol . i didnt know he went that way... :Q


























j/k.

funny him choking on a pretzel.. the worlds most powerful leader dying from choking on a pretzel.. i can see the headlines now... 😛
 
Bummer about his fainting. I'd hate to be in the public eye to the degree that everytime food goes down the wrong pipe, MSNBC cuts into its broadcast to issue their "breaking news." All of these television analysts have been screaming that the events of September 11th are what's killing the economy, and while it's partially true, it's more true that these idiotic, breathless "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" supposed newscasters are whipping the country up into a mass panic attack. Everytime someone spots a bearded Afghani, they report Osama's been spotted, or everytime the President breaks wind, he's potentially got colon cancer. Frankly, I'd just as soon not watch the news at all anymore, since none of it is reliable. Every rumor gets "breaking news" status.

Hey, where was Al Gore when these so-called pretzels were being given to the President? 😛
 
I think this is a wonderful piece of news reporting. This is my favourite part:



<< Tubbs said Bush believes he was out only for a few seconds because when he awoke, his two dogs were sitting in the same position they were when he lost consciousness. >>



Drunk or not, I don't care. The Leader of the Free World was very nearly befallen by a pretzel.

BTW, all jokes alligning the pretzel with Taliban forces are lame. The situation is genuinely funny on its own - don't try to punch it up with jokes that are doomed before they are composed.

Bush is already fighting the general belief that he's not the brightest bulb the While House has ever seen. This latest gaffe will be pretty hard to swallow.
 


<< This latest gaffe will be pretty hard to swallow. >>


OMFG, intentional or not, that made me BURST into laughter 😀

Leno/Conan/Letterman/Kilborn will have a field day with this tomorrow night 😛
 


<< << OMG, we almost got rid of the SOB. Remind me to send that pretzel company a thank-you letter.


I can see the headlines now.

"Unpatriotic Pretzel Company attempts a Terriost Plot to Kill the President: Video of Osama Bin Ladin Holding the Pretzel will be Released Tomorrow." >> >>



You know, I didn't like Clinton or Gore, but I sure as heck wouldn't wish them dead, even jokingly. What kind of problems do you have wishing another fundamentally-decent human being dead? Clinton and Gore may be Liberals, but I'd still have a beer with 'em. It takes all kinds - but I guess you never learned that.
 
Xerox, take a step back. You're laying into a guy for joking that he should congratulate a pretzel company on their nearly-successful assasination attempt.

We're just having fun here, and we're all terribly sorry if it's at George's expense. I'm sure he's a great guy, once you get to know him.

I'm sorry, I don't find the humor in wishing somebody dead. Making fun of the way he talks? Sure. Laughing at Dana Carvey doing Bush the Elder? Sure. Chuckling at blow job jokes in regards to Clinton? Sure.

I have a sense of humor, and some call it tasteless, but I don't find statements wishing someone dead, joking or not, funny in the least.
 
Well actually if you read the article, he didn't choke at all. The pretzel stimulated a nerve which slowed his already slow heart rate and this brought on the fainting spell.

Perhaps it just seems 'funnier' to laugh at him choking though, I dunno.
 


<<

<< ?I DO NOT FIND any reason that this would happen again,? Tubb said. ?He fainted due to a temporary decrease in heart rate brought on by swallowing a pretzel.? >>



Rotfl, oh my it must have been a slow news day. >>



Indeed 🙂
 
Funny Typing because you have said the same type of stupid sh!t before and really meant it. Maybe one day you will understand why I think everything you say IS serious.
 
That's really too bad. Forget Anthrax, watch out for our enemies to start mailing Rold Gold gift gift packs to the whitehouse.
 


<< Can't wait for Bush to get re-elected in 2004 then you democrats will be choking on your own Bile. >>


The republicans better keep Dubya away from snacks if they want him to be around in 2004 😀
 


<< Can't wait for Bush to get re-elected in 2004 then you democrats will be choking on your own Bile. >>



So true...however they will have had 4 years to figure out a way to try and throw another election...
