First it was “decider,” which quickly took its place in the language after President Bush used it to describe himself earlier this spring, and has even inspired an action hero comic strip on “The Daily Show.” Will Bush succeed in doing the same thing with "suicider," which he used four times other day as shorthand for “suicide bomber” in a joint appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert? Those who keep track of Bushisms say it’s not new, though, tracing his first use of it to 2002.

With this photo, I always thought that Bush was providing his impression of Curly from the Three Stooges. Knuck, knuck, knuck.
Since English is now the official language of the U.S. shouldn’t this dumbass learn it?
I read in an Arab newspaper where Bush is a “bonehead.”
If Israel was blasted off the face of this earth, the price of crude oil would drop to less than 10 dollars a barrel. Why? Easy. Because the threat to the world’s crude oil supply being blasted off the face of this earth would be gone.
Nice shot at Bush, nice little worship piece on that failure Carter. All on the same page of the paper. Hey Eagle, way to be in touch with community you work for.
That “failure Carter.” Yup, the guy who put solar panels on the White House and million of homes across the US, only to have that “success” of a Reagan presidency scuttle any and all progress for alternative energy sources.
Reagan, the man who sent envoys to the Ayatolloah to make sure that the hostages stayed kept until Reagan was safely in office and the corporations could loot the country again.
Yup, Carter failed alright, Marty . . . jerkoffs like you made sure of that.
LH – you forgot about ’tilting’ toward Iraq in their war against Iran, giving Iraq chemical weapons, shooting down an Iranian civilian airliner, and giving Saddam a green light to invade Kuwait.
Yea, Reagan-Bush were such a success in the region!
It’s backwards. Israel is the “Terrorist State” and the United States is complicit, in the fact that we finance the Rogue State of Israel.
Israel and the United States are the only truly hated countries in the world.
Hamas is traveling the world to find food to feed the Palestinians and the United States calls them a “terrorist” organisation.
The Jews murder just enough Palestinians everyday to keep their phony claim to being “terrorized” alive.
Even Sweden refused to fly in an excise if Israel was going to participate.
Zionist-Jews represent 2% of the population and they’re pulling Bush’s strings, while AIPAC pulls congress around by its nose.
It Sounds like Jonathan Winters in: “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world.”
Marty Venick,
‘Worship piece’? Maybe in your victimology-ridden Wingnut brain. The thread says that Carter has been retired for 25 years. That’s all.
It’s still amusing, after all this time being in sole control of all three branches of government, to see whiny Wingnuts piss and moan about ‘liberal bias’ whenever somebody says something that could be construed as insufficiently obesient to Great Leader. Grow up.
CF, you see, any mention of the “other party” is only a reminder to the GOP that they do not and will never control everything, especially the people. They’re still chafing over how the “other party” controlled Congress for years and years, proving to everyone, now that the GOP has control again, that the GOP can’t do shit right.
None of them can do it right. Democrats or Republicans. Once in power they squader it and with no regards to the population.
Ben Ben Ben. Reagan-Bush had nothing to do with what happend in the middle east. This is all just a plot by the left to slander the two greatest presidents after the current emperor. You really should read the correct history books not those other ones. You know the unapproved, unamerican books with details backed by facts.
CF, isn’t funny how if an article isn’t either pro-GOP or anti-democrat then it is leftist worshiping by the liberal biased media. Maybe the right doesn’t like these stories since it reminds them of what complete and utter failures they are? They don’t tend to do so well if daddy can’t bail them out and make things all better.
bush’s name itself is probably destined to be a part of the language and not in a good way.
My son never learned the terms birdbrain,lame brain, etc brain related insults. We say bushbrained.
The really sad thing is that if the two parties would compromise on things, they’d come up with the best for everyone. I think that’s what the Founding Father’s had in mind when they were dealing with the Whigs and the (uh, my brain went blank. LOL Was it the Tories?) But instead, they both have the “only our party is right” mentality and we all lose.
slinking away to re-study some history…
RD,Which is why the American people need a third party that will have the average person in mind, not the rich or business interests.
Compromise?
Lets see… The no child left behind act?
That was “compromise” and I have never heard the end of it from either side, the teachers, or the media…
NCLB was a compromise? I imagine if the program was funded at the level shrub said it would be then it would have been a compromise. Instead it turned out to be not only a slap in the face to those who worked to make it happen but a hinderance to actually educating students.
Hehe, good point, JR.
I use “bush” as a verb for “to lie” as in–
Don’t bush me, man.He’s trying to bush us.Cut out the bushing and give us the straight story.
You think the English language is threatened by hispanics? Bush has done more to wreck the Mother Tongue in less time than any group of foreigners could begin to do! And this joker graduated from college?
