George Bush Makes Cameo Appearance On Deal or No Deal

icon Download | play icon Download | play (h/t BillW)

President Bush made a cameo appearance on the NBC game show, Deal or No Deal, and even made fun of his own abysmal approval ratings in a prerecorded message to an Army officer who was a contestant on the show.

"Good evening, Captain Kobes. I'm thrilled to be on Deal or No Deal with you tonight. Come to think of it, I'm thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days."

The crowd roared with applause as the worst president in modern history made a complete fool out of himself in front of the world...again.  He even invited host Howie Mandel to come to D.C. to play the game Capitol Hill-style:

"Howie, I don't know if you're free to come to Washington anytime soon but I have to reach an agreement with Congress on the federal budget. How'd you like to host a $3 trillion dollar 'Deal or No Deal?'" he joked.

HAHA I get it!!! He's a giant Douche!!!

Warpig STILL doesn't realize he's a giant dick! Ugh, he's beyond contempt.

We are observing the biggest heist ever conceived; the greatest robbery in history being pulled off in broad daylight right under the noses of the public.

Totally what Lincoln would have done.

This army officer's HERO, yes hero, is Warpig. F*ck the both of them!

That little goatee plus complete baldness makes Howie look kind of Satanic; Bush, on the other hand, IS Satanic, despite his buffoonery.

Completing the corporate media/political circle jerk.

Shameless, shameful.

We're laughing our way to the po house now,

Is there a medical term for this disorder?

Sounds like you'll soon have a little brother.

Bush would take the all the cases, replace howie and hollywood for a studio based out of Indonesia, and replace the models with enslaved 9-year-olds.

While you watch your distractions, this is what you should be worried about...

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said.

I'm glad I don't watch "Deal or No Deal".

What an asshat.

Oh god, give me a break. The prez is making appearances on freakin' game shows? Yesterday he was dancing in NOLA. The guy cannot stop making a total ass of himself. Let's all chip in, buy out his contract, and tell him he's fired.

I think Bush realized two years ago that he really is not in charge and was only elected to be the pawn of the Neo-Con power men. Now all he can do is shrug his shoulders and try to laugh it off while the country goes down in flames and he takes the fall for it.

Then again may be this is how to keep him f-ing things up.

Someone else made a similar comment and a link to a google site on another thread about Congressional Sports Investigations.

Appears to be a new Obamanoid meme.

An interesting factoid; if we continue to incarcerate people at the present rate by 2050 there will be more Americans in jail then out.

This guy is too fat. No way is he in the Army. This is another one of those planted propaghanda messages. The guy is really a GOP party official from Texas.

Trash your TV

This show was a rerun.

It originally aired about 2000 years ago, in Rome.

Why doesnt he make a 'Camo' appearance in Iraq for a year or two...douchbag.

Being president "is hard work."

Nice!

On the news yesterday they said the guy had said that bush was his hero and the show worked behind the scene to see if they could arrange that surprise. If the guy thinks bush is a hero, I hope he won the money so he can afford mental health care.

because plunging the US into a seemingly war to profit a few, causing 100's of thousands dead, millions more maimed or displaced, economic policies that have slashed the value of the dollar, added trillions of dollars of debt mortgaging the future for us and our children and grandchildren, mass bankruptcies, homelessness, 100% increase in the cost of food and fuel, Health care that is beyond the reach of the average American, torturing and jailing people without charges or representation is all so friggen hilarious. I have to somewhat agree though, Howie Mandel would be better man in the White House than the current resident.

It seems that Bush plays Deal or No Deal daily with congress. I think he goes as to where he had to sleep the night before.

It's still not a direct quote, but a paraphrasing for effect--if you will bumperstickerese.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

That contains four big if's: if she's elected, if Iran develops a nuclear missle, if they attack Israel, and if Israel cannot or will not fire their own missles (since they're alleged to have nuclear arms that they don't admit to).

The main problem with the comment is if Iran considers bombing Israel, which sounds way too much like boosh's preemption doctrine.

The direct quote is even worse: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel)," Clinton said in an interview on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

I think what is most disgusting about this man is the context. If chimpy was a successful president (I know just stick with me for a minute) I think we'd find things like this endearing. We'd celebrate how independently American he is. When he told the pope "awesome speech" we'd think it was cool how he put it in words the common citizen might also use. But in reality he's corrupted our government and caused the death of thousands of americans and hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even in that context his idiocy doesn't bother me in and of itself. He's a dimwit and I expect it of him. No, what gets to me is he has no shame or concept of regret or respectful decorum given the circumstances. At some point even a terribly misbehaved child will attempt to stifle his tears and quietly apologize. But our idiot president seems to be rubbing it in to us and the rest of the world that he's done his misdeeds and seemingly gotten away with everything and that's all that matters so we can all go fuck ourselves. So he owes no apologies and will make no attempt to disguise his contempt for us even if it would simply require him to act like a serious adult and not continually embarrass us in the eyes of the world community.

Howie Mandel doesn't surprise me as being a rightwinger. He does have a condition, a phobia for germ. He would have homeland security to keep germ from his doorstep. It's that kind of paranoia one would have of fear of being attack that would launch into preemptive attack and undermine our own rights in the name of false security.

One of the condition for Howie to do the show was never letting his guest touch him anytime during the show. I admire Howie for his honesty of his condition and don't hold it against him for being paranoia, and I can let this slip go without too much protest.

It's just interesting to note how much fear go into play in shaping one admiration to Bush.

he's the perfect complete idiot "leader" for a nation of the willfully ignorant.

we are already totally screwed for life from the "Bush deal", so deal with THAT.

Not only that, but TV studios have signs that flash when to applaud when to laugh, and like Pavlovian dogs the audience obeys. If not, or if there were loud booing it can always be retaken unless it's broadcast live. Even then they have 3-5 second delays and sound boards that can amplify what they want in the forefront.

I read all that, but I also know that your government doesn't seem to need any actual proof of anything before launching horror upon others. There have been talk for years now about attacking Iran, for even blinking the wrong way. While americas war crimes and attrocities continue, while innocents continue to suffer unimaginable hell every single day, at the hands of "the good guys". All of this due to a pack of lies.

As well...it also seems to go without saying that countries such as america and israel for example, are free to throw around threats of attacks, assaults and invasions unabated and with impunity. Other so-called enemy states only have to hint in such a manner, and the west goes insane with assumptions, and further talk of their own of something like, "See! They are a threat, they must be attacked, they must be stopped!"...or some such.

America wants to attack Iran for simply looking the wrong way. Iran doesn't need to do anything wrong to receive this gift. Iran doesn't need to use nuclear bombs, which in itself is yet another huge lie that has been repeated over and over ad-nauseum. And the justification, as it is currently being crafted, will be sold to your public in a very morally just, and patriotic way. You will be bringing freedom to others...you will be protecting yourselves.

This thread is about boosh’s appearance on TV for his own shameless self-exposure,

I wasn't the one that brought up gas prices someone else did.

I also have the right to hate boosh even more, since the idiot state I'm from put him in the governors office twice.

I remember even during the 1st time asking people why they would support another Clayton Williams type, a rich boy buying himself an office, at least Clayton earned his money. I said it was obvious boosh was trying to use the office to springboard into the Whitehouse, so he could start a family legacy there comparable to the Kennedys, only to be told, oh no he only wants to do good for Texas.

I've heard of professional seat fillers so there are no gaps at awards show, but not paid extras, but I'm not surprised. They probably still use laugh tacks to goad the reaction they want. For years the laughtracks came from the old Frank Sinatra show.

No I wasn't being sarcastic. And I find it funny that no one here has mentioned why the president was on the show.
He was a greeting a soldier that did three tours of duty in Iraq. But never mind that let's just talk about HOW MUCH WE HATE BUSH!!!

Sorry, but I just have to say it... I wonder, during his three tours, how many innocent lives did he end?

And he gets to go on a game show for that?

Sick.

That little goatee plus complete baldness makes Howie look kind of Satanic; Bush, on the other hand, IS Satanic, despite his buffoonery.

It's not a goatee, it's a "love patch." And asking Mr. 29% for a cameo didn't help either one. I didn't know there were any people other than Howie on set who didn't have a bikini to wear.

When I read that President Bush was going to be on a game show, I thought he was going to be a contestant on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?".

Try reading further up in this thread where we covered the reason the prezitwit was on, Terry Ann. Warpig was on this stupid show because he's the army guy's HERO! The guy does THREE tours and still considers the clown in the WH to be his hero. Makes me nauseous.

I didn't even refer to gas, but to boosh's self promotion, and you're lame attempt at a tu quoque regarding Gore. For one thing Gore always pushed for higher mpg requirements that would set up a squawk in car corporations, and the Republicans would back them.

Quack, quack

I'm not blaming Dumbya on this one. The entire world knows he's a moron, yet the producers of this show think enough of him to put him on the show. If they thought this would boost their ratings, they may be dumber than him.

It also wasn't a live appearance by Bush. No dialogue between Bush and anyone on the show.

How many innocentlives he took is more speculative, and flame-baiting. It doesn't help the discussion. At least he was facing a personal risk.

boosh, however, never had to face a personal risk, or even any repercussions, and has led to innumerable lives lost on both sides.

He got lost on the way back from the bathroom, with both legs through a single opening of his underwear, with a shirt weiner.

All he could do was scream for his security team, because the floor had the temerity to keep hitting his face.

That was the most coverage of a major network on the opinion of real soldiers i've ever seen. It was almost a total disaster too for Bush's appearance when he started talking about how hard it is for the soldiers and the soldiers' feeling of hopelessness. He was just short of saying he wants to bring the troops home.

he went home with 90K, not bad.

In other words, herr dubyah was once again using the troops as a prop for a photo-op. That's the only thing he and the reich-wing are successful at.

Ironically they aired this on FOX & Friends this morning and compared it to Nixon going on Laugh In back in the 70's.

Barry Halpern @ 70:

I think what is most disgusting about this man is the context. If chimpy was a successful president (I know just stick with me for a minute) I think we'd find things like this endearing. We'd celebrate how independently American he is. When he told the pope "awesome speech" we'd think it was cool how he put it in words the common citizen might also use. But in reality he's corrupted our government and caused the death of thousands of americans and hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even in that context his idiocy doesn't bother me in and of itself. He's a dimwit and I expect it of him. No, what gets to me is he has no shame or concept of regret or respectful decorum given the circumstances. At some point even a terribly misbehaved child will attempt to stifle his tears and quietly apologize. But our idiot president seems to be rubbing it in to us and the rest of the world that he's done his misdeeds and seemingly gotten away with everything and that's all that matters so we can all go fuck ourselves. So he owes no apologies and will make no attempt to disguise his contempt for us even if it would simply require him to act like a serious adult and not continually embarrass us in the eyes of the world community.

If you read the PNAC you realize the neocons were deeply frustrated by the American public's contentment with life and unwillingness to be warlike.

Sure, but Georgie is too stupid to even understand the implications of that information. I hold Bush responsible for being stupid and brainwashed by his addictions and his religion. When the discussion gets to the actual deeds done and the philosophical reasoning involved I think it's Cheney and his minions that are culpable. Overall, I hold the press and my fellow citizens responsible for not understanding what a Bush/Cheney administration was going to be like. Anyone who believed that they were going to be anything but shills for the far right and the disgustingly wealthy was deliberately fooling themself.

I can lecture you on photo-ops because that is all the reich-wing does for our troops. The reich-wing only supports the troops as another one of their perverse photo-ops.

Did you hear about Bush's impromptu dancing to a New Orleans Jazz Band? I think the man needs a new job.

The yahoo article on Clinton's comment provides more context as well as Obama's reaction.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080422/pl_nm/usa_politics_iran_dc

I saw her explain her comments on Kieth Olbermann. Hillary sounded completely off her rocker. All I can figure is that she is fishing for the disgruntled Republican vote in Pennsylvania. She must be getting desperate. I have a problem with these politicians that will say or do anything to get power. It should be about serving joe public; instead our political system has degenerated into get what you can; when you can; for the sake of what you can get for yourself. I know Obama is probably going to be President. All I can say is; I hope he is somewhat different than the douchebag politicians we have been dealing with for the past 50 plus years. I'm still not voting for him. I'm going to continue voting 3rd party, until I see some tangible change. Every 4 years its the same. These politicians both Democrat and Republicans claim that somehow they are outsiders to the political system. In the end, after every election; we still don't have the healthcare system that Ike promised us. Things get a little worse with every election. Eventually, people will either wake up and vote for people like Ralph Nader or they will continue voting for the corporate parties like the Democrats and Republicans, until our nation truly does collapse. It's not very patriotic to vote for the political parties that move our jobs overseas. Globalism sucks. I don't need to explain that to any of you. Maybe the Democrats will end the war in Iraq; I don't know. It would be a good thing; but make no mistake, the democrats will still feed the beast. They may end the war in Iraq; but, they will find a way to start another war somewhere else. They always do. Bill Clinton jumped at every opportunity to send our troops to war. I know; I was there, in the middle of it. They were all a big waste of money. They just threw buckets of money at situations that weren't even our problem. Money that could of been used to educate our people, provide healthcare to our people, or create real industry that would of improved the lives of our people; instead, our standard of living falls a little bit every year. Soon Mexico will be dealing with American immigrants. I only hope that the Mexicans are kinder to Americans than we have been to them.

There never was a Declaration of War, only an Authorization to Use Military Force, to basically set up the legal framework of quick raids and missles strikes, but only if there were a clear impending threat.

This authorization came with two caveats that boosh never met: a presentation of claims, and corrorborating evidence which he never obliged.

The authorization came also amidst heavy distortion lies, and propaganda directed at them and at the public.

The aurthorization came when Republicans still controlled the Congress.

This occupation doesn't even follow the rules of a Police Action which requires Congressional authorization after the first 90 days, then every 6 months afterwards.
