That monkey is not funny under any circumstances.

It's so painful to watch this f**ker's image in any context--But where this is concerned, even more so knowing he's designed a scenario where every day is bloody.

The monkey reads a teleprompter . . . the script writers work out of that big 5 sided building

The most murderous son of a bitch to walk the planet in modern times. If and when he leaves office, he will be a hunted man.

Not a teleprompter--an earpiece so he can repeat the lines read to him--notice the pauses and the many times when he corrects himself...his eyes shifting from side to side also used to give away the fact that he was listening to an off-stage voice, but they seem to have trained him to look straight ahead now.

A teleprompter takes more effort than the earpiece.

NOT ALL FASCIST LOOK LIKE FRANCO , MUSSOLINI , OR HITLER

Bush is the big fiery head. There are many other lying, sinister, corrupt, war profiteering, mass murdering, criminals behind that curtain.

Jo-Ann's picture

What do you know? Bush CAN speak the truth ...with a little help from our friends, that is. This clip is a keeper.

there's definitely no shortage of material for the decider.

not funny in the least. seriously.

He's like some sort of strange hybrid between an intelligence challenged chimpanzee and a beady-eyed snake in the grass.

I agree. Not a bit funny.

There's a new documentary out describing the health effects of 9/11 on ground zero first responders and their struggle for treatment since called 9/11 first responders: 7 out of every 10

Very moving, these heroes need help now.

I think we need to start now organizing a party on the National Mall to be thrown on the day the Bush regime leaves office. Imagine the image of hundreds of thousands of revelers for the first time ever celebrating on the National Mall when an American president leaves office being broadcast across the globe. It may not repair all the damage this criminal regime has done our international reputation but we can show the whole word that, at the end of the day, we were just a glad to be rid of this bastard and his band of thugs as the rest of the world will be.

rx2008's very best video was Freedom 101. A masterpiece. I can't believe it hasn't gotten twice the views as this one.

Karma, she's a bitch. I just hope his family doesn't ever have to pay for the sins of the father.

Brilliantly done though

I can't even look at his stupid fucking monkey face anymore without tasting vomit.

(Sorry to insult any monkeys out there)

I can't watch it. I cannot tolerate evil.

Curtilingus's picture

That's not fair!

They took what he said out of context!

brynn's picture

The irony is that he comes across more "sincerely" and dramatically in this clip than when he's actually delivering a speech.

IMPEACH this fascist pig (fascist monkey?)... NOW!

Hold the monkey accountable for his "mistakes".

Whoever put together that clip, it's bloody brilliant. Poor Bono's head must be exploding.

Impeachment hearings today; war crimes tribunals tomorrow!

They already have. Can you imagine having that idiot in the family? What a disgrace.

Mike's picture

Wow, that's great. I think some people above fail to see the art in this.You will never hear GWB say or sing such profound words on his own. The irony and juxtaposition makes it. It smacks with the idea that for this president to ever be great you would have to manipulate his every word and deed in some sort of historical photoshopping. Something, ironically, the White House is already working at. History judging GWB would be like what we might imagine history judging the fascists in WW2 if they had won.

Very impressive video editing skills, but what does this accomplish?

Its called "art". Art accomplishes itself. Unless you see it like the National Socialists, just enjoy it.

jugger's picture

it accomplishes, in a symbolic way, the conveyance of a message. A message lost on most, including the MSM, that Bush is a thoughtful man, introspective even. His holy day of Sunday is when he feels the pain of the world the most, yet the rest of the week he feels a calling, his calling that he cannot resist, both to save the world from pain and suffering...and your soul from eternal damnation.

That is a truly brilliant mashup..... but for me, having to watch AWOL Mc Tard's face for more than two minutes is worst than a toothache.

Send more pretzels!

I love the way they splice blair into it, looking very anxious indeed :)

Could be cool to splice and slice this one with mr buba giving it the big sexy ;)

Help Save The Pacifica Network!

August 31 is the deadline to join, but you can help get members informed in time for the voting in November!

Omg Who did this?!? Too cool.

Impeach the Chimp. And I agree, shock the monkey.

StirFry's picture

This is very cool. cut chemist style . It must have torture staring at boosh's face in Final Cut Pro for many hours.

Tony T's picture

This is fucking brilliant. Using the bloody murderer's own words. My guess is this took weeks to do.

starwheel's picture

I didn't think it was funny either.

But it was some damned good editing.

Nice work.

Sachem's picture

This is as old a piece as delusional messianic oilpatch thinking.

Dave's picture

You know what was strange about this video? It was unusual to see Bush sounding coherent.

Too fucking jerky, almost gave me a seizure...

That was awesome!!!!

That clip gave me acid flashbacks! I gues it's better than the normal feeling of intense nausea Bush usually gives me?

Radically Moderate's picture

Loved the Irony and the imagery.
Bono has always maintained that it is not a protest song. I guess the real irony falls on the voters that put that nihilist-socialpath in office.

Does anyone remember what U2 was trying to say...

whoever constructed this clip, simply brilliant.

LoneStarLefty's picture

Left out an important lyric at the end, esp. coming out of crusader-monkey's mouth: "To bring the victory Jesus won!", I wonder if that was intentional or a time constraint issue.

Excellent idea! said with Montgomery Burns' slowness and decidedness... make it so!

Sarbear's picture

I get everything about this video. War is ugly and while our leaders sit on their butts and eat and drink our brothers, sister, fathers, mothers, and children die! I only wish that our leader could see all that has not been done. What are we truly gaining from this war? We gain oil and the terrorists gain ammo against us. Our leader had taken us into a Jihad, the holiest of wars, for no other reason than revenge. I believe that those that died in 9-11 should be avenged but it is getting silly. The words of Sunday Bloody Sunday could not ring more true even if an evil man is made to say them. War solves nothing! All we do is die. There is no real winner, just who killed more people.
