Could Bush be a closet artist?

Do you ever just try to set back and allow your inner feelings or intuition to mouth somebody, to kind of get a read or taste of people that has nothing to do with what they say, or think they say or how they dress etc, but is sort of like asking yourself what you would really be doing if you were acting like this other person is acting? As some of you know I won't watch Bush because he makes me cringe. Well, he was on today about Iraq and because I've been expecting the war with them to begin any day (seeing as how Bush's ratings for a new Pres are pretty absymal, and he only has 100 days to prove he's a MAN, and so Sadam is the easy tool to boost scores with the public by showing him who's boss, etc,etc,etc, the obvious stuff); I decided to pay some attention. Well there we go again. You could see that he was trying to say something, and that it was comming out in these little rapid speech blocks, and they had something to do with the topic at hand, and you could see he was working hard to make sure they were hanging together, except, bam the last phrase comes out a total grammatical bomb as if the buffer on which he could apply analysis had been exceeded and the excess was dumped, unfortunately on us.

It got me thinking. Bush throws words at topics like Jackson Pollock threw paint of canvas. He splatters a theme with groups of related yet inchoate phrases that relate but are bound by no overarching grammar aside from an implied relatedness. I think he may be a genius and have stepped onto a platform of linquistic virtuosity that is the next stage in human evolution, a pictograthic ideation evoking both the paleographic and nouveau. Instead of the gray dullness of a Republican mascot named, we get, big, ivory, charge, bull, ears flap, trunk and so on and so quickly and without effort that while your linguistic apparatus churns helplessly, your being screams elephant. It could become the Bushido Way. It may pay to become an early adapter. What think you? Are we seeing an artist ahead of his time?

If I understand your post, then, no, I think we're seeing another president with good speechwriters. Although I detect some hostility and perhaps sarcasm in your post, so I really have no idea what you mean...

If you take the blue pills, like your Dr told you to do, MB, you won't hear the voices any more.

From what I saw his approval ratings were up around 65% last time I looked.

Damn, you're assuming he writes this stuff himself. Every word is meticulously chosen, so that nothing is misconstrued etc. Not by us or Sadam or his allies. His handlers know that everything he says and does is picked apart and studied.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw he gave a thumbs down to broccoli. I thought, oh my God, what is the press going to do with this now? :Q

Ornery, the stuff he says better not be scripted. here's one:

Jan. 29, 2001...A president's right to grant...pardons is &quot;inviolate, as far as I'm concerned,&quot; he said. &quot;It's an important part of the office. I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but my predecessors as well.&quot; --NYT, 1/29/01

Since this baseless charge is so wrong, can anyone really beleive anything you say?

I think not. If things are so bad, please jump in Alec's purse and move to the big dirt clod called europe... oh wait, he was a big pussy wasn't he, should I expect any less from you?
