Idiotic conclusion 22/9/2007
Here’s a reasonable analogy from George W. Bush at a White House press conference:
There is local reconciliation taking place. I had a fascinating conversation in the Roosevelt Room earlier this week with members of provincial reconstruction teams from around Iraq who talked about how people are sick and tired of murder and violence, and that they expect their local governments and their central government to be more responsive to their needs, and local governments are beginning to respond.
Part of the reason why there is not this instant democracy in Iraq is because people are still recovering from Saddam Hussein’s brutal rule. I thought an interesting comment was made when somebody said to me, I heard somebody say, where’s Mandela? Well, Mandela is dead, because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas. He was a brutal tyrant that divided people up and split families, and people are recovering from this. So there’s a psychological recovery that is taking place. And it’s hard work for them. And I understand it’s hard work for them. Having said that, I’m not going the give them a pass when it comes to the central government’s reconciliation efforts.
Whether or not you agreed with him, you’d have to be pretty stupid to read into that anything other than Bush declaring there are tragically few Mandela-type inspirational leaders on the ground in Iraq because Saddam got rid of them all.
Well, it seems the office idiot has struck news desk duty at Reuters:
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Nelson Mandela is still very much alive despite an embarrassing gaffe by U.S. President George W. Bush, who alluded to the former South African leader’s death in an attempt to explain sectarian violence in Iraq.
Only to have his/her howler grabbed with glee and run with by the stupidoes at Larvatus Prodeo
Even when their howler is pointed out, the LP retardos take even more of their clothes off:
Bush said “Mandela is dead”. Mandela is NOT dead. He is 89 years old.
Bush thought Mandela had died, otherwise he would not have used his name in this context. Bush is stupid because he is a head of state who does not know that one of the most famous men in the world is still alive and dancing.
Using Mandela’s “death” as a metaphor for Saddam’s murderous actions simply does not work. Anyone who thinks it does is stupid too.
To those few half-brains still hanging around in the Left: close the door quietly on your way out and turn off the lights. The darkness does not bother them.
Did Reuters turn you down for the toilet cleaner position? Is that why you are so bitter. Fret not sweetie pie, the Reuters toilet cleaner position was filled by an ex-stasi member. Maybe you can apply for the toilet roll inspector at the Daily Tele. A man of your obvious talent and intelligence should not go to waste.
He has been misquoted in every newspaper that I have read and every newscast that I have listened to. It goes to show how low lefty jurnos really are and illustrates just why people no longer believe anything they read in the papers or hear on the news.
Except that “My Collingwood” lost on Friday night, I am ever so proud of our youngsters, they could not have done better. “Go Pies” next year that is???
Ha ha, is comment no 1 trying to have a go at Slatts? Looks like you shot yourself in the foot love. What’s the matter, been caught out looking foolish? Don’t know when to shut up?
But don’t these lefty idiots realise they look stupid all the time? Not just when they make such obvious gaffes.
That’s why we invented the word ‘idiotarians’.
“Well, Mandela is dead, because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas”
That’s the trouble with lefties nowadays. No attention to detail. They didn’t even pick up Bush thought there was more than one Mandela, dead or alive. I’m on the ball but.
Is the person that made comment no. 1 even dumber than the lefties. Quoting from comment 3, she definitely shot herself in the foot. Who the hell is that dumb? That’s what I’d like to know. I mean, Jesus, Slatts spends the entire article bagging out the lefties ’cause they’re morons and “Osama loves lefties” jumps to their defense. What a dumbass.
