Does Mr. Bush simply think we are all deaf, dumb and blind ... or are we all deaf, dumb and blind?

Okay, you can read it all over the web if you happened to miss GWB (left) telling George Stephanopolous that "We've never been stay the course, George!"

For the record -- and also all over the web this evening are the following quotes:

BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06]

BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05]

BUSH: We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We're just going to stay the course. [12/15/03]

BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We'll stay the course. [4/13/04]

BUSH: And that's why we're going to stay the course in Iraq. And that's why when we say something in Iraq, we're going to do it. [4/16/04]

BUSH: And so we've got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. [4/5/04]

These quotes (above) are a partial response to the following exchange between George Stephanopolous and George W. Bush this morning on ABC's This Week:

[Begin segment of transcript]

STEPHANOPOULOS: James Baker says that he's looking for something between "cut and run" and "stay the course."

BUSH: Well, hey, listen, we've never been "stay the course," George. We have been -- we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we're constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly.

Just a couple of (possibly stupid) questions from Mediawingnuts:

1. Are talk show or interview hosts permitted to show videos of the interviewee contradicting himself or herself?

2. On what planet does Mr. Bush believe we have been living for the past three years?

3. Just how more ridiculous can the man and his party look before November 7 -- or is there really an "October [or November] Surprise" ready to degauss our neuron connections and usher in a Republican landslide?

4. Do Mr. Bush's comments this morning vindicate the senior U.S. State Department diplomat who caused embarrassment in Washington this weekend after telling Arab satellite network Al Jazeera that there is a strong possibility history will show the United States displayed "arrogance" and "stupidity" in its handling of the Iraq war?

George W. Bush and all of his neocon handlers (Vice President Cheney, SecDef Rummy, ... even Tony Snow and Condi Rice in recent months) have been going on and on about nothing but "stay the course" in Iraq ... ever since we invaded Iraq in 2003. They haven't even changed the words, for the love of money!

Am I wrong in this, or am I just delusional? Someone is ... it's either me or it's him, and he's President of the United States and I'm just a guy eking out a living on Social Security while otherwise cleaning smelly dog kennels and kitty litters for Ocean Shores and Aberdeen, Washington's animal shelters in the backwash of the Pacific Ocean.

And ABC's This Week show didn't even slow down after Mr. Bush said that we've never been "stay the course" !?!?!?! Mr. Stephanopolous didn't challenge him! Mr. Bush must be a hypnotist!

Thank God for the thousands of bloggers who are as "delusional" as I am ... But unfortunately, thousands of bloggers don't add up to the millions who watched the President this morning and believed every word he said ...

Hell, they stick by their man even when his Press Secretary (Tony Snow) says things like the following when asked at a press briefing last week if we were winning the War in Iraq -- the reporter asked it as simply as he could ... "Are we winning?"

Tony Snow replied, "I don’t know. How do you define 'winning'? The fact is, in taking on the war on terror -- let me put it this way, the President has made it obvious, we’re going to win."

And he speaks for the President.

Obviously, Mediawingnuts, some more liberal bloggers and a few others are the delusional ones and the President, the neocons and the Electoral College are the ones whose heads are screwed on right!

Maybe these are the End Times ... I think I'll check out Daniel, Ezekial and the Book of Revelations before hitting the pillow tonight ... Surely, Bush's peculiar statements of late were prophesied by someone other than Jay Leno.
