When he said in 2000, "We will not let any nations hold us hostile...or hold our allies hostile." I could tell right then that he was an idiot who'd lead our nation into disaster if he ever got to be president. Maybe now people will realize that when you elect an idiot as president, there's a good chance they'll do a bunch of stupid things.
Posted by dole4pineapple at March 20, 2006 01:08 AMThe exact moment came for me wrapped in six words:
"They hate us because we're free."
What this man knew about foreign policy, I realized, could be written on an atom with a five-hundred-pound bomb.
Posted by Seth at March 20, 2006 01:39 AMHah! For me, I knew full well the guy was incompetent the first time I started reading about the "Draft Bush" campaigns in 1998 that pushed to get the fool to run for president in 2000. By 2000's arrival, I was trying to convince my friends just how bad things could get if this man were elected. I suppose I wasn't entirely vindicated in the eyes of some of my skeptical friends. He wasn't, after all, elected.
But the really jaw-dropping moment for me was ushered in by Hurricane Katrina. It was then that I realized that he wasn't merely incompetent, but arrogantly so. Arrogant incompetence....it's a term that doesn't really make any sense, but this administration makes it real. They're aggressive in their incompetence - almost as if they're determined to remain incompetent.
Now, here's something to ponder. Media Matters has a decent summary of how the press consistently distorts Bush's poll numbers - how "incompetent" is the most often used word by the American public to describe Bush, but how the press continues to report how the people are on his side. Majorities want the troops to come home; are against warrantless wiretaps; think the country is headed in the wrong direction; think Bush is a liar; would rather have the Democrats in Congress.......and on and on, yet the media spins it otherwise.
I want to know: (1) Precisely how has the majority of the people managed to outwit the avalanche of propaganda that befalls them 24 hours a day. Is it just the power of the internet and blogs? If not, how do we harness and fortify exactly what it is?; (2) I have a nagging fear that the Democrats will nevertheless fail to take back either house of Congress....am I crazy? If not, why not? Why will the Republicans win the elections anyway? Because the elections are rigged? Because people will balk as the propaganda increases and the elections get closer? (I have my own answer to number two, which involves the very system of elections itself, but I'd love the input of others.)

In 2000, the South Korean leader Kim Dae-jung won the Nobel peace prize for his efforts at reconciliation with the North. It really did look like a reunification was on the cards.
Enter Bush. Sworn in 20 January 2001. A month and a half later, completely fucks up the whole thing.
Bush rules out North Korea talks.
Doh!
Posted by SJ at March 20, 2006 03:53 AMI agree with Liveliest Crib above. I spent too much time in the runup to the 2000 election, trying to explain why 'there is no difference between Bush and Gore'.
I live on the East Coast in a rogue state. Bush is pretty much reviled here. The polls show the true story as far as I can see. But the 'Bushco machine' is successful in holding on to the reins. Can it be that there is real election fraud at work coupled with a massive propaganda action on the part of the media? Those two things together have kept us hostage to this Administration. What else do we need to know before we revolt?
OOPS! In the statement above, I meant to say ... explain why 'there is no difference between Bush and Gore' was irrational and plain wrong.
Posted by Sharon at March 20, 2006 04:30 AMMan, that's a toughie. As far back as I remember knowing about Dubya, I've always thought he was an incompetent boob with delusions of grandeur.
I suspect it was when I started paying attention to his utterances from the Texas Governor's office, particularly about why some convict didn't deserve to live.
Posted by idiosynchronic at March 20, 2006 04:33 AMI guessed Bush was incompetent before the 2000 election, but he has certainly exceeded my expectations.
The screw-ups and policies to willfully fleece Americans out of not only their treasure but their Constitutional rights is truly breathtaking.
In any business I've ever worked in security would have escorted him to the door after one week.
But let's face it: Bush is a front man for powerful but invisible forces in this country.
The "amusing" part is that they "misunderestimated" Bush's obvious stupidity and general lack of necessary skills, thereby tending to subvert their plans for revolution in this country. I think they got a pig in a poke and know it now.
I hope it's not too late to dislodge him, but I fear it will be very difficult.

Posted by benjoya at March 20, 2006 05:18 AMRegardless of how you may feel about Hugo Chavez, I put this up on my blog because I believe he's telling the truth.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday lobbed a litany of insults at U.S. President George W. Bush ranging from "donkey" to "drunkard" in response to a White House report branding the left-wing leader a demagogue.
Chavez is one of Bush's fiercest critics and has repeatedly accused the U.S. government of seeking to oust him from the presidency of Venezuela, the world's No. 5 oil exporter and a supplier of around 15 percent of U.S. crude imports.
"You are a donkey, Mr. Bush," said Chavez, speaking in English on his weekly Sunday broadcast.
Posted by Christopher at March 20, 2006 05:28 AMI have always thought he was an ignorant dipshit, daddy's little rich kid in way over his head. But for me the proof of his total incompentence was when he kept reading "My Pet Goat" for seven minutes after being told that America was under attack. That was all the proof I needed to know for sure that he really is an ignorant, incompetent dipshit.

I first became suspicious of Dubai-yeah when Ann Richards was 'unexpectedly' defeated for governor of Texas in 1994. There had to be something shady going on with the vote counting for that to happen. There are some comments about how that defeat was payback for her comment concerning Poppy at the 1988 Democratic convention:
"Poor George [H.W. Bush], he can't help it...He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
Poppy's son has since demonstrated that such a physical contortion is a family trait!
Posted by pessimist at March 20, 2006 05:47 AMDamn if I can put a date on it.

Posted by snark at March 20, 2006 05:48 AMpessimist,
In the late 1970's, Poppy introduced his "boy" to Ken Lay as "the future president of the U.S."
The roadmap from Midland to the Oval Office was, I believe, determined for Little Boots by his ambitious family while he was still in Cackling Granny Babs' uterus.
He's a hereditary pawn.
Posted by Christopher at March 20, 2006 05:51 AMWhen Dirty Dick Cheney was selected as Bush's running mate. It was obvious that the GOP heirarchy knew Bush was not capable of being anything else but a front man. But he took his job seriously and started playing president, and the wheels have been coming off every since.
Posted by T2 at March 20, 2006 06:10 AMI can not remember ever having a doubt - so it must have been the first time I heard him speak.
Posted by DOT at March 20, 2006 06:23 AMand for any viewers who didn't already know what a dumbnut Bush is....there was yesterday's double shot - Chalabi and Allawi, the Bush Admins hand picked Leaders for the New Iraq, both slamming him. Chalabi laying the blame for the Iraq mess at the door of Bush's appointee Bremmer and Allawi declaring Iraq was in civil war - at the same time Bush was on TV saying things were looking great.

Posted by dj moonbat at March 20, 2006 06:38 AMWhat great comments!
I knew he would be an incompetent national leader when he blithely (proudly!) stated in the 2000 campaign that he did not read books.
Of course, he was playing to the appalling anti-intellectualism of our revolting citizenry--but his literally unbelievable inarticulateness proved that what he was proclaiming was indeed the truth: he was an illiterate, ignorant, dunderheaded "businessman", who had no business running for president.
The rest is catastrophe.
Posted by euzoius at March 20, 2006 06:46 AMI knew he was incompetant right after the debates, reading transcripts of his 'arguments' then.
He confirmed my analysis when he and Shooter couldn't even tell if a microphone was on when they called Adam Clymer a major league asshole.
But I knew enough of America were clueless morans when I asked my cousin (fairly intelligent, college degree, Pigboy fanatic) in August 2000 if he was going to vote for the pot smoker or the coke head. He spent twenty minutes telling me how, yes, Gore was a pot smoker, plus he was blah blah blah (insert Pigboy talking points here) - and, besides, you can't prove Putsch ever did coke, and he's the greatest thing since sliced bread!
Posted by (: Tom :) at March 20, 2006 06:49 AMI am not sure it's totally incompetence, I think he's really what the greedy, oil-soaked, powermogers (GOP) want. He's someone who can sound folksy & act like a cowboy, but also sound threatening and ominous, lie, deny, and go along with whatever the brain-trusts say (without being quite intelligent enough to think through or question what they are telling him).
One thing is for sure, if not the biggest incompetent moron who has ever laid his sorry, failure-laden ass in the White House, he is certainly the biggest hypocrite. First he and the Cons blame the CIA for intelligence failures -- and then this : "President George W. Bush presents former C.I.A. director, George J. Tenet, the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award, the nation's highest civilian honor, December 14, 2004". Bu$h talks about a "culture of life, because we value life at every stage" while killing innocent men, women and children in Iraq with, among other things, Depleted Uranium bombs ( how's a little radiological weaponry for "valuing life"?), he won't even talk about helping the 46 million poor in this country who need health care, and he also thinks lethal injections for prisoners a good way to "value life at every stage'". And, of course, if you are between 18 and 35, your life is also worth sacrificing for Bu$h's "culture of life" campaign. Just don't ask him to send his family to die for his "just and worthy cause". Incompetent? OK. Hypocrite? Oh yes! The essence of hubris? Absolutely! Corporate hack? If he bent over any more his floppy ass ears whould be sweeping the floor. He is evil incarnate as much as anything else, if you ask me.
I'll have to say 9/11....because I remember watching with horror at work (and we were told not use our computers and tv's by our boss who told us what had happened and of course we all did what the boss said not to do). We all sat there in devastation and confusion and wondered where the hell the president was and why wasn't he taking charge. Why hadn't he spoken on tv to all of us about this horrific situation? Okay so maybe that's when I also realized he was a coward, but we all thought he acted incompetently by hiding on that day. And the movie Farenheit 9/11 confirmed my worst initial reaction of utter incompetence.

Posted by snark at March 20, 2006 07:04 AMInstead of describing the moment when I realized Bush wasn't going to be a good thing, I'll describe when I SHOULD have figured it out.
Shortly after he was elected he did a tour of military posts and bases. He stopped at Fort Stewart, GA an Army posting. He called the 1,000 or so troops standing in parade formation, with rifles slung ( and bolts left back at the arms room) and I quote, "Marine Soldiers." I'm not sure who was more pissed the 1,000 Army soldiers or the Honor Guard of Marines that follow the President around everwhere he goes.

Posted by Christopher at March 20, 2006 07:50 AMI can't remember when I didn't know he was incompetent. And corrupt. What about that?
BTW, the troll-vaccine must be working. I don't see any.
Posted by Repack Rider at March 20, 2006 07:56 AMNot sure when it happened. Initially, when they talked about him running, I was sort of open to find out more about him. Certainly well before the election I had decided that there was no way in heck I would vote for him. But I guess the time, if it can be limited, that I knew he was out and out incompetent, was when the talk started about going into Iraq. I felt that was a stupid idea from the first time I heard it. And he has exceeded my expectations that it would be terrible. Yuck.
Posted by JWC at March 20, 2006 07:58 AMI always knew he was a corporate puppet. September 11, 2001 and the revelations thereafter convinced me that this administration was indeed incompetent at governing.
Posted by God Of War at March 20, 2006 07:59 AMIf Bush is so dumb, how can he beat two smart Democrats like Gore and Kerry? Because what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up with guts. He does stand firm on an issue or idea. We are seeing these gutless Democrats in congress who cannot attack him when they are given opportunities such as Abu Ghareb, Katrina, Wiretapping, etc.
Posted by suresh at March 20, 2006 08:01 AMIf Bush is so dumb, how can he beat two smart Democrats like Gore and Kerry?
Because *he* didn't manage his campaign. Bush is but a mere puppet and his handlers are the ones who know how to manipulate the emotions of the electorate. They also know how to cheat when they need to.
Like a lot of others, I don't recall when I first realized he was a moron. I ignored him during the 2000 campiagn because knowing that he was an idiot, I couldn't imagine him getting elected. I think I was truly shocked and horrified, though, at his performance in the debates leading up to the 2004 election. That proved to me that he was utterly idiotic, and yet arrogant enough to believe he didn't need any preparation to debate Kerry.
Posted by ann at March 20, 2006 08:22 AMIf Bush is so dumb, how can he beat two Democrats like Gore and Kerry? Because what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up with Diebold votes. He does stand firm on an issue without having a clear idea.
[But on this point, I can't argue with suresh - it's too true]
We are seeing these gutless Democrats ...

Posted by pessimist at March 20, 2006 08:23 AMBiden is standing with The Center for American Process ripping the administration on their mishandling of Iraq.

CNN covered a couple of minutes of it. SPAN has the whole press conference.
Been noticing cable news has been a little more accurate in covering incompetence of this administration.
Yesterday, Murtha stood up louder and more fierce and he was beautiful on MTP. Today Murtha gets a thank you card and a little bit of money.
Biden now calling for firing Rummy and the other people who have mishandled Iraq. To bring accountability to the US.
Duh.
Same reason for impeachment. This is the only way to bring credibility back to the rest of the world.
Next post on incompetence.
Posted by Anjha at March 20, 2006 08:30 AM"Incompetent" is a term that, as applied to Dumbya, is increasingly gaining traction precisely because it so accurately describes the fool and his administration. Its time to take a page from the wingnuts' book, and repeat, repeat, repeat, and repeat again the word whenever the topic of Bu$hco comes up. Progressives should never utter two consecutive sentences referring to Bu$h where "incompetent" is not used at least once in one of them.
Posted by redstater at March 20, 2006 08:30 AMIn 1999 when Bu$hCo was running, I said, "If this guy gets elected, we will have drilling in ANWR, abortion will be criminalized, we will lose separation between church and state, environmental laws will be diminished and there will be a full blown war in the Middle East."
He far exceeded my expectations.
Posted by Anjha at March 20, 2006 08:33 AMi read all i could about him before the 2000 election. he is a failure, he has failed at everything. he could not find his way out of a paper bag if his life (or ours) depended on it. how many ways can you say incompentent, a loser, a failure, the laughing stock of us AND his family. wonder why his kids drink?? how much kidding/torment do they endure because of daddy's losing ways. bush is part of a grifter team and we are the mark! bush is the front guy, showing charm/personality. go see the old movie the grifters with john cussack, angelica houston and annette benning. it is all there. shame, shame, on all of you who voted for him without research. now you run to our side. i hope this teaches you to know your canidate!
Posted by mamameow at March 20, 2006 08:41 AMI agree that "Incompetent" must be drilled home in every sentence that includes Bu$hCo's name.
However, I must say that I believe that "incompetent" is far too kind.
I really believe that there is far more to this than incompetent. There is this bizarre psychology, this psychopathic quality that comes out in his speech, his eyes, his mannerisms. It is frightening. Some people see it "plain speak, guy says what he means."
These are people who have never had any training or experience with mental illness or actual *evil*.
The incompetence is only a symptom of a much larger problem; it is not the problem itself. There is this extreme self-centerdness, to the point of being pathological. It is the kind of illness that comes from a child having grown up in a dysfunctional home who never, ever grows emotionally beyond 3 or 4 years old. It is the me, me, me and the world revolves around me kind of pathology.
At the expense of the entire Country and every person in it this *man* is willing to spend the entire treasury for the next one hundred years (yes, we will have to pay off his credit card), kill thousands of people, destroy the environment - indeed the whole planet, and never, ever admit a mistake - just to leave some "legacy" of having "brought democracy to the Middle East.
He is truly frightening. People must see him for the "evil doer" that he is.
Posted by Anjha at March 20, 2006 08:41 AMann, I found another quote from the one of the most arrogant men in the world that sums up what you said sort of....
"The first time I met Bush 43, I knew he was different. Two things became clear. One, he didn't know very much. The other was he had the confidence to ask questions that revealed he didn't know very much."
-- Former assistant secretary of Defence Richard Perle, on President George W. Bush Newsweek June 9. 2003 issue.
I noticed it in 2000.The dullness in his eyes foretold the incompetence that was coming. He does not have the spark of intelligence that even our worst presidents have had. And the Katrina disaster showcased a malevolence that was stunning.I think his low numbers are the thought finally sinking in that "but for the grace of God go I". If the bird flu mutates, God help us all.
Please, please do not trust your votes to anything but paper ballots. I'm going to pound away on this till I am blue in the face.
If all the votes in the black boxes are Repub only, it will make it a lot harder to steal the next election.Plus, won't you all just love the look on their faces when their programmers have to tell them the confounding news?
Because what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up with guts.
I have to disagree with this. I don't think obstinance and guts are the same. Bush is obstinate but he's a chicken. If he had guts, if he was brave, if he had integrity, he would be straight with the people. But he lies because he's gutless.
Posted by ann at March 20, 2006 09:23 AMI knew he was bad news during the Bush/Gore debates. His "Jesus is my fave philosopher" crap told me all I needed to know. I knew that guy from every bible baptist church I'd ever been forced to endure: dumb, rigid, misogynist, reckless, sociopatic. The beady eyes gave him away.
And I think it was mcjoan at kos who said that we shouldn't just use incompetent, because that assumes that the policies are good, only the execution is wanting. She's right. Everything about this administration is wrong, morally, fiscally, militarily, environmentally bad news. Not just incompetent, but destructive to our way of life.
Posted by iamcoyote at March 20, 2006 09:47 AMSince I follow baseball, it had to be when "The King of the Crackers" was a front man for the Texas Rangers. He was set up and placed there by friends of his Daddy so he could say he had real job.
For me, my true and total distrust for bu$hco started when Daddy was pRe$ident and stated he did not know Noriega. I was stationed in Panama at the time and the next day an article came out in the local military paper, (The Tropic Times), that shows Noriega and pRe$ident bu$h shaking hands when Daddy was head of the CIA. I knew then, the elder bu$h was a liar and all of them could not be trusted.
I then settled in Colorado and the S & L scandal was still fresh in everyone's mind. Neil and Silverado left a bad taste in everone's mouth with the billions that taxpayers had to pay.
After that, I still could not understand how the people of CO got coerced by the republi-cons in their "Contract for America".
What finally turned around the state of CO was the 11th hour gerrymandering the state repukes conducted.
The '04' election told the repukes enough was enough. Of course they don't use Deibold there.
Of course I had always concentrated my attention on short range politics so my attention was mostly focused on Reagan and his incompetence.
Bush is currently butchering a "speech" on "Tlah-furr", thats Tal Afar, for you English speaking people. The gift that just keeps on giving.
Oh, and John Reid(British Rumsfeld-lite) has just returned from Iraq, and declared there is no civil war there, and NO CHANCE of one starting. He also stated that under Sadaam, there WAS a civil war.
Are Bush and John Reid having a lie-off today?

Sen. Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi have eloped, and are now believed to be consummating relations in a US island territory near the equator. Island residents are believed to be very upset, or rather, their stomach's are.
President George Bush today announced that the "War on Terror" is over, with the United States "whupping whoever we were agin". We are now in a "War on Tupperware", and warned "it may be a long, hard slog." He did not rule out a possible draft.
Vice President Cheney had another heart attack, following a "closed door" meeting with Condi Rice. Unfortunately, they were able to find a donor heart in the immediate vicinity. A brain transplant was also considered, but rejected by presidential advisor K. Rove.
Speaking of Mr. K, "Mr. K and H. assure the public, their production will be second to none. In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world." Please see "Sgt. Pepper" for further details.

Posted by tempus at March 20, 2006 02:32 PMI am so angry right now I could spit nails. Oprah just did a special on the Poor in America today on her show, and this Country should be so ashamed of itself. I dare anyone to ever again post nonsense about how the poor deserve to be poor, or it is their lack of initative that keeps them poor, and you guys know who you are. Our motherfucking president can spend billions on a stupid war, give tax breaks to his base (the wealthy), and yet go to sleep at night knowing that there are people in this Country that are dying because they don't have food or medical help. I don't give a fuck why anyone is poor. Poor is poor no matter how it happened. FUCK THIS ADMINISTRATION, FUCK THE CONSERVATIVES, FUCK THE NEO-CONS, AND FUCK ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT OUR COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY!

The first time I saw him on TV campaigning in New Hampshire and he had that 'empty look, empty suit' look about him.
It should be mentioned that the Rove machine is going to run against "gay married terrorists" again.
Posted by herbal tee at March 20, 2006 02:53 PMWhoa, I just watched President Bush's speech in Cleveland, Kansas. I don't know about everyone here, but I was so moved by his forthright honesty and commitment to freedom, that I am joining the Republicans, as Boy Scout (donation $50.00).
And I also intend to shoot John Lennon, but that is tomorrow's task.
Posted by tempus at March 20, 2006 03:05 PMShortly after the WTC attack. He was in Washington and spoke impromptu before a press gaggle on the capital lawn. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights - just absolutely terrified. And he couldn't string three words together.
