Begala Calls Bush "High-Functioning Moron"

[joraider08]

He could have really told the truth and called him a war criminal which he is and I don't really give a damn what these right wing morons say..Also every demo that voted with him on starting these wars and voted on continue funding fall into the same moron arena. Geez for once stand up and fight you idiots.

[lmswentzeljr]

Bush is a moron. He is no doubt I just wonder about the intelligence of the American Public that reelected him.

[TAz69x]

So do I... that was frightening. We intelligent people just shook our heads.

Welp... this'll be another "fun" four years, oh well. "Around August '08... they'll finally get it XD" we thought; and we were right.

Btw, don't neocon-counter this with "Obama was supposed to be your savior, eh?!" stupid inane shit; nobody Ever thought that.

Long mess to clean up, and mistakes are going to be made along the way (and the natural ideological conflicts)...

[shaktimandan]

Begala is amazing, very funny and very astute. This is one of the better descriptions of Bush I have heard

[IsisStarlights]

BURNED!

[towensii]

Kudos to Paul Begala for saying what nobody else had the guts to say on TV!

[jpbalkenende]

Hahahah I love that man. Btw wha speech was that? I remember a speech from around that time and I actually thought it was Bush's bes,t most serious speech every if I recall correctly.

[towensii]

It was a speech he gave right after the economy began to tank. He was suppose to try to calm everyone down but like most of his speeches, he failed to deliever his message.

[jpbalkenende]

Was it the speech about the bailout? That one was his best imo. Because he actually seemed serious for once. The one were he talked about not letting his retarded conservative philosophy hold the economy hostage, were he wouldn't want to be remembered as Hoover, that one was pretty good.

[towensii]

Yes, I think it was that one.

[delphi270]

Bush was NOT a conservative. Jesus christ get that into your head. The bailouts were liberal policies and look where those have gotten us.

[BeeBumper]

@delphi270 are you fucking serious? you are a total liar, or just stupid which is it

[njac1946]

@towensii Begala is a cheapshot homo faggot

[smmm1968]

What is wrong with the GOP? First Bush and now Palin? Both are category five morons. And they both think that Africa is a country. I truly think that they believe that Africa is only slightly larger than Harlem. From now on grade 4 geography must be a requirement in all GOP primaries.

[mcline007]

haha, I watched this on TV. The man is a genius. No one could describe Bush better.

I cant wait for this morons to get the fuck out of the white house and let obama fix his mess

[dfg830]

Paul Begala-finally a democrat with testicular fortitude!LOL He is one of the heroes of this campaign!

[afer63]

Finally someone who says what 90% of us think.

Go Paul!

[tubenoob101]

Paul Begala is AWESOME!!!

[ireylo]

To the geography-challenged:

Canada, Germany, and England != the world.

[Freecell82]

In spite of that fact, the statement "the world hates Bush" is still accurate.

[ireylo]

No it idn't, cuz it really depends how you define 'the world' or rather who you count.

[Freecell82]

I'm counting everyone. Are there places that like Bush? Sure. But the majority does hate him.

publicdiplomacy * org */* 41 *.* htm

It's only 21 countries, true, but it does give a fair representation. It's not like they only surveyed Europe or something.

It's also important to note that this was four years ago. Bush has done nothing good since then and has only reaffirmed his stupidity. Opinion of him everywhere has surely slipped, though I don't have a source for that, only common sense.

[ireylo]

The majority of the over 6 billion people in this world has other things to worry about other than liking or not Bush, but of course you can keep telling yourself and others whatever you prefer to believe.

Good luck spreading your message.

[Freecell82]

Oh, I'm not particularly interested in spreading this message. What good would it do? I'm just saying. And yeah, we do have more important things to worry about than Bush. But that doesn't mean we don't have opinions on him.

And btw, your country is the most powerful country in the world at the moment. We do follow your elections because they do affect us.

[ireylo]

My country is Bulgaria, actually.

[Freecell82]

My bad for assuming then.

[26grumpy]

The world dosen't hate George Bush, the liberals in the world hate Bush. That would include "objective" news comemtators like Cooper and Begala.

At least we now know the true home of hate, sexism, bigotry, and raceism, the Liberal left and the modern-day Democratic Party. Just ask Hillary...or Barak, they will agree !

[Janetvdl]

No.The world does hate George Bush. People in Canada,Germany,and England hate Bush. They did a poll in Germany,and about 90% of the people wanted Obama to win. I doubt 90% of the country is liberal

[wtf84b]

Um you're an idiot.. You just named the first and second place finishers in the Democratic primaries (a woman and black man) and think they'd agree that the left is sexist or racist? hahah Geez. And nobody is worse than guys like Bill O'Reilly or Hannity. Seriously, at least Begala immediately admitted that what he was about to say was controversial. But he is absolutely right.. Look at how badly he has failed in every part of his job. He's terrible.

[allstarwillb]

janet is spot-on. first of all, u misspelled barack, moron. my thepry is that we're only in iraq beacause bush can pronounce saudi arabia... its just too much for him to try to think about in on breath.

ps, cooper is one of the most straight-forward reporters ive seen; he is a REPORTER, not an analyst; big difference

[artiriti]

The world DOES HATE GWB!

[andretheking86]

26 grumpy might be one of the dumbest cocksuckers here

but you can't be too mad at him, he is a republican . . . its not his fault

[MACKATTACK1970]

You are even dumber than the highly functioning moron.

P.S. I am and have always been a registered Republican, belong to the NRA, drive an SUV and am conservative on many issues and I agree with this analysis of Bush is a MORON.

Grow a brain and you will see the truth.

[izzofamily128]

I want an "I Love Paul Begala" t-shirt. And sweatshirt. And button. And bumper sticker.

[Skierchick1]

Ok. When does Begala get his own show? Sign me up. I'm setting my DVR. The man told the truth!

[nish6058]

He had his own show for a few years call Crossfire.

[dubbyrankin]

the truth is Begala is right.All over the world he is known as a moron

[livingledgend2001]

Thank god someone finally speaks the truth, cut dry!!!

[french4clouds]

I think Begala was being pretty nice - I think Bush is a bleeping bleep-tard, as does anyone whose objectively examined his "presidency"...

[peep237]

Dead on about the moron part, but he's wrong about the high functioning part. The boy king is nothing but a puppet who is never allowed outside his protective bubble to speak off the cuff. If he didn't need a prepared written message, a transmitter with ear piece, & a teleprompter, then I'd call him "high functioning".

[Stosh08057]

They are insulting YOU personally

i.e.,

Your congressman represents your district

Your senators represent your state.

Only one person in our system represents you PERSONALLY. Your president.

It doesn't matter if you voted for him of if you agree with him. He is the ONLY person in our entire constitutional government who represents YOU personally.

When someone in the media party (aka. senators, congressmen, or journalists) personally insults your president, they are insulting YOU -stosh

[toilettduckk]

Not true. He represents the United States (more's the pity); he represents the American people as a whole---but he does NOT represent me personally. And let's do away with this idiotic notion that it's inappropriate to criticize the president. If he's doing a poor job, then he needs to be held responsible. If he acts like an ignorant fool, then he needs to be held responsible for that, too.

[sce56]

Hey they are not insulting me I knew better and I voted with the Majority of the country in the last two elections just the Republicans were good at

1. suppressing the vote

2. Fixing the Electronic voting machines

3. Stealing both elections!

Their is a video to corroborate that spoken by a tipsy Republican Congressmen

[stjp64]

he's right though. blaming this mess on the people who bought mortgages?

[jamesmorgandavies]

Oh, what courage!

A mere EIGHT FUCKING YEARS LATER, the obvious truth slips out.

Good timing there, dude.

Your Pulitzer is in the mail.

[grecoj2]

Have you ever seen old episodes of Crossfire?

Begala has been a successful democratic adviser for over fifteen years.

He has been critical of Bush since the man went into office. Whether or not you agree with him he is not a Johnny Come Lately.

[penrhos48]

Begala has finally put the overwhelming sentiment of the world on the air. High functioning is a stretch, but "moron" certainly is as accuarate and apt a description of Bush as one could hope for. The other sad reality however is that Sarah Palin makes Bush look like a genius. Sad, sad days as America plunges to unconscionable depths in all respects.

[gnolti]

"it wouldnt be the right thing to do and i dont wish it on anyone but someone should put a bullet in begala's head"

That is what we leftists have planned for you Bushbots.

[grecoj2]

I guess if you can't beat him with words you have to use force. Typical Republican.

[toilettduckk]

Typical neocon: to propose murdering anyone who dares to criticize the village idiot.

Did anyone tell you that this isn't Nazi Germany we live in?

[hifibuff]

"...this isn't Nazi Germany..."

Well, to be fair, it is getting harder to distinguish.

[pithyattitude]

Disgusting comment from a man who has no sense of propriety. I don't expect fairness from left-leaning 'news'

organizations like CNN but this removes any doubt about how low this company will allow political discussions to sink. Will CNN allow Begala to continue as a paid commentator? Of course it will. Will I continue watching? No.

[Klackityklack]

I totally disagree with Begala. Bush is not high-functioning.

[xdir]

I think the high function is the fact he holds the highest office in the land.

Unfortunately Paul Begala was not even being funny, just stating a fact, Bush is not respected by the GOP or Conservative.

[esperan2k]

Hey, just so long as we're aware that stupid wins elections... Sad but true. That's why we'll soon be heiling President Palin.

[JRodB]

Begala needs to run for some sort of office...the man is genius.

[georgebushisawesome]

ahm george bush and ah approoved this massage.
