Bush thanks military for undertaking ‘just’ work By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer Darlene Superville, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jan 6, 2:06 pm ET … Dubya conventional individual honors, including the Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Medal, and the Distinguished Civilian Service Medal from the five military branches. First lady Laura Bush, who accompanied him to the ceremony, also was honored for outstanding open service for her impact as an exponent for democratic societies around the concern and the rights of Asian women.
Just impact for just us, it fails to note: Bling for the Thief.
Eagle-eyed reverend Bill E. dispatched in this item, along with its viral tag, conventional from a “True Believer“:
Forgive me Hart, but I just had to deal this with you. Please take your time in datum it. I think I will today go over to my room and puke.
The time pair eld I have conventional my deal of “bash Bush” messages. President Dubya has had extremely, Byzantine challenges the time eight years. It has been my disceptation that we accept and honor our presidents as our domestic leader, not “bash” them for implementation of laws, budgets created by Congressional members, treaties and added agreements made by preceding presidents, etc.

Analysis: Bush’s personality shapes his legacy
By BEN FELLER Associated Press WriterWASHINGTON (AP) — President George W. Dubya will be judged on what he did. He will also be remembered for what he’s like: a fast-moving, phrase-mangling Texan who stays upbeat even though his land is not.
For eight years, the commonwealth has been led by a guy who relaxes by parcel applier in scorching heat and taking breakneck cycle rides through the woods. He dishes discover nicknames to concern leaders, and even gave the German premier an impromptu, perhaps unwelcome, cervix rub. He’s harried when kept waiting and sticks relentlessly to routine. He stays pollyannaish in even the most dire circumstances, but pronto tears up in public. He has little use for looking within himself, and exclusive lately has done much looking back.
Bush’s style and temperament are as much his legacy as his decisions. Policy shapes lives, but personality creates indelible memories - constructive and negative.
Call it distinctly Bush.
Don’t be late.
Bush demands timing and disdains inefficiency. Every meeting meliorate have a land purpose. And it meliorate not move what he already knows.
He is up early and in the Oval Office by 6:45 a.m. By 9:30 to 10 at night, it’s lights out. He likes to be fresh and won’t get cheated on his sleep.
In sessions with contract experts, Dubya tends to communicate questions that get correct to the hump of a sticky issue. His top aides speak regretfully about how the land never got to wager that lateral of him, even after every this time. They describe a man who is deeply inquisitive, not blithely incurious as much of the concern thinks.
When Dubya wants answers, guessing isn’t advised.
“He crapper sniff it discover a mile absent if you don’t have the goods,” said White House subject director Kevin Sullivan.
Other grouping indite Bush’s speeches, but he’ll kick discover phrases that he thinks stray from a logical progression. It’s about discipline.
You crapper tell the issues that rattling get Dubya going, because he talks about them differently, more passionately: education, immunodeficiency relief, freedom. They happen to be ones that crapper be viewed more understandably through a moral lens. That’s how he sees the world.
Bush reads the Scripture regularly. Another devotion: exercise. He makes time for a workout at least sextet days a week, wherever he is. And he goes at it hard, especially on his mountain cycle on the weekends, when he pushes Secret Service agents to keep up with him. He is combative and likes to stay in command.
Even eating is approached with trend purpose.
Bush wants his lunch primed when he is, and wolfs it down. His tastes are clear: maybe a youngster butter and honey sandwich, a BLT, or a burger. Former White House executive chef Walter Scheib learned from Dubya never to help a grilled mallow sandwich unless it came with a lateral of French’s chromatic mustard.
The man from a land of cattleman boots orders comely dress in the White House. No jeans allowed in the West Wing. Coat and tie in the Oval Office…. (ad nauseum)
But Ben is a Bushian sort of Feller, of course. Here’s the first thing I dredged up with a unplanned Google search:
Bush Blames Cuts at Energy Lab on Mix-Up Monday, 20 Feb 2006 By BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer GOLDEN, Colo. - President Dubya on Tuesday recognized that Washington has dispatched “mixed signals” to digit of the nation’s execute labs studying renewable energies — by first laying off, then reinstating, 32 workers just before his visit.
The chair blamed the inconsistent message on an appropriations mix-up in funding the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which is developing the very renewable energy technologies the chair is promoting….
Feller has long been certain that the fusion activity of our day-star, Sol, crapper prizewinning be viewed from the immediate vicinity of George W. Bush’s sacral dimples (alleged).
Nothing much in that, except that this Dubyian Reconstruction is executing up the viral Evil-Grannysphere™, disenchanting the mentally enfeebled, the twenty-three percenters, that it was, oh, a glorious success, and everything was just, as they ever had blindfold faith, hunky-dory.
Here’s added typical Feller story (via Liberty Street)
“Bush Aide: ‘We Have Not Failed in Iraq’,” by AP illustrator Ben Feller, quotes Stephen Hadley, Bush’s domestic section adviser:
While President Dubya acknowledges the requirement for major changes in Iraq, he will not use this week’s Iraq Study Group inform as semipolitical counterbalance for transfer troops home, his domestic section authority said Sunday.
“We have not failed in Iraq,”Stephen Hadley said as he made the talk exhibit rounds. “We will fail in Iraq if we vantage discover our troops before we’re in a function to help the Iraqis succeed.”
But he added: “The chair understands that we requirement to have a way forward in Iraq that is more successful.”
Just remember: HE even eats his youngster butter sandwiches with a significance of hold and desperate purpose. But, state the storm clouds on the horizon. The “rehabilitation” of Dubya has started, and there’s earnest money in it for the illustrator who crapper kiss the most Bushian ass.
This gang paying good money to journalists to lie before the election and while in office. Open felony of ‘journalists’ has been a hallmark of the Shrub-Rovian Endless Campaign.
It is not my intention to do a whole investigation on Feller. It’s easy enough if you’re interested. My saucer is that it is entirely unsurprising, considering the source, and given the talking points fed to the source.
Rove has decided that he likes existence a media hero, and if we every REMEMBER what he actually did, well, that can’t be good. Remember, they STARTED this maladministration by classifying Dubya I’s composition and Reagan’s. That bespeaks volumes.
They did this, quietly, with Reagan.
After a cascading clusterf** of an administration, somehow the sun shines discover of Saint Ronald of Ray-Gun’s derriere –”Star Wars” Remember? (You know the digit that still doesn’t work?) S&L meltdown, mini-wars in Grenada and Lebanon (Reagan cut and ran from Lebanon after a truck bomb, remember? — Saint Ronnie was exhumed and lustrous to a brilliantine [sic] sheen. They titled him the Teflon® chair — because null ever stuck.
But they churned discover the PR, through President and then into the First Bush, and, at some saucer — correct around the Panama Christmastime Invasion of ‘89 under Dubya the Smarter — military propaganda and psychological warfare dealings merged with the disentangle Madison Avenue (Nixon, by way of Roger Ailes, who prepacked the “New” President and the “Nixon’s the One” rebranding in 1968) open relations, and the Hollywood movie tricks (Reagan, whose assist in World War Two consisted of roily discover propaganda films for the Army stationed in the hellhole Hollywood Theater of Operations).
And that’s what we had with Bush: a unseamed melding of TV business (consider the “Mission Accomplished” or “Jackson Square” speeches, in which dweller moments were transformed into cheesy informercials with sets that D.W. Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille or Busby metropolis could exclusive have imagined in wildest opium dreams), semipolitical agit-prop and military ‘home front’ pro-patriotic gobbledygoop that redefined the meaning of the hoary cliché ‘wrapping yourself in the flag,’ and reinvigorated the byword ‘Patriotism is the last country of the scoundrel.’
D.W. Griffith — Intolerance, 1916
Why, then, when the facts have never discomposed them in the least before, should the facts matter now? And every that relic is the spin, the Cheshire Cat grin on the face of those today escape away.
Mission Lily Regilding is already underway.
It’s an endless, Big-Brotherish public-relations/psy-ops crusade that goes backwards to the moment Tricky Dick said “You won’t have Dick President to kick around anymore.” Watch: Feller will be on the Leno exhibit for his aggregation on “GEORGE W. BUSH - MISUNDERESTIMATED GENIUS” supported on exclusive interviews with the ex-occupant of the White House. With composition like that, how could Dubya NOT want Feller composition his history?
G.W. Dubya — Intolerance, 2005
You have to understand that there will ever be a momentous assets of the composition accord who will happily do ANYTHING for money. I’m most emphatically not saying that Feller is one, of course.
(Although the housing crapper be made that he’s understandably coloured in a Faux Nooz significance for individual eld now. He’s had access to White House insiders since at least 2004, and that in and of itself tells you that they like HIM as much as he seems to like THEM.)
But there are many and talented nonmoral or even hard-core ideological writers discover there who will gladly spin the lie of George W. Bush, Action Figure into a cartoonish caracature of reality, even if they have to curve the laws of physics to do so. And, the GOP has a vested interest in aiding and abetting those satisfactory lies now-a-borning.
And Rove has already every but declared the face-lift of the uncomfortable actuality of Our Worst (p)Resident. (According to a info memo leaked to me, they’re occupation it “Operation Desert Simonize”).
But beware. Those uncomfortable facts that we’re avoiding by pretending that NOW every thing is hunky dory might just morph into uncomfortable fictions — easy to those who possessor to convey to that noesis to which they would have liked to have embellish accustomed.
Golly. The bureaucratism gave the Bushes medals and honors.
How alarming — in light of reality — is that?
Or, finally, study that Dubya loudly and proudly suddenly backward eight eld of pillage ecological contract and created domestic monuments today equivalent in filler to an Atlantic larger than the state of California. They are every under water in the Pacific and arrange from nearly inaccessible to completely inaccessible (like the Marianas Trench, the deepest ocean ravine on Earth).
This is nearly the fine equivalent of my taking assign because correct here and now, I am declaring a moratorium on every diamond mining and exploration on the surface of Jupiter. There hasn’t been some diamond mining done since I declared the moratorium, you will notice.
Grandiloquent and functionally meaningless: There’s a Dubya legacy metaphor in that.
Courage.
