He'll be missed.

I should have preferred that Mandela get to have at least as much life in freedom as he had to give away on Robben Island, but his name will not soon be forgotten.

Ave atque vale.

Nelson Mandela is alive, reasonably healthy for an 81 year old, and sorely pissed at Bush's gaffe.

Karl Rove, is, however, a reanimated corpse.

Please tell me you were being facetious and that you didn't really think that the Commander-in-Chimp actually knew what he was talking about.

Saddam killed Mandella, eh?

That's interesting indeed. Soon he'll say that Al-Qaeda killed Ghandi, in all likelihood.

Oh, Bush. *whew*

Was worried there for a moment.

I saw the thread title a few minutes ago and though "wow I should probably read that thread soon" but went off to go do some actual work

and for those few minuets I lived in a world where Madella was dead! :eek:

Woah.

Was everything familiar, but different at the same time?

First Ahmedinejad, now Mandela.

When will the body count stop!?

:D

First Ahmedinejad, now Mandela.

When will the body count stop!?When they got Bush as well.

who on earth was he trying to talk about? or how many famous mandellas does he think there is?

He'll be missed.

Indeed. RIP Mandela.

EDIT: YOU. HAVE. GOT. TO. BE. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME.

The Flying Mandellas.



...Or was it Wallendas? Ah. fuck it. :p

The Flying Mandellas.

Wallendas. And I'm old enough to remember when Karl Wallenda died. :(

It wasn't flying, so much as plummeting.

Apparently he was trying to say something like, "Where are the Mandela's of Iraq? They're all dead, Sadam killed them all." Trying to make a point about the lack of leadership in Iraq.

Saddam killed Mandela, eh?
Not just one, but ALL of them. He killed all the Mandelas, the bastard.

Anyone heard/seen Winnie lately?

Apparently he was trying to say something like, "Where are the Mandela's of Iraq? They're all dead, Sadam killed them all." Trying to make a point about the lack of leadership in Iraq.
Maybe he was talking about all the Mandaens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeism)in Iraq.
Only the man behind the curtain will know for sure.

I hate how Bush always does his 'lean onto his left arm and smirk at the end of answering a question he knows shit about, in order to show his homely guy-you-could-have-a-beer-with-at-a-BBQ and, as well, display his contempt for the question he barely understood'.
I also hate the fact that this contrived, obviously rehearsed and taught action has worked so well for him with over the past seven years and continue to do so with ~1/3 of the USA.
idiots

*curls up in ball and rocks back and forth* 16 more months. Just 16 more months...

ah ok, wow he really fucked up the sense of that.

This thread made me sad. And then it made me roll my eyes, because the intent of his remarks were obvious...even if as poorly stated as ever.

Well, that'll teach me not to click on the link. Where's the "embarrassed at my own stupidity" smilie?

EDIT: So he was attempting to be rhetorical, and using a singular person as a plural noun. Like the Crazy 8s did in their hit "Johnny Q" when they sang "now that the Walter Cronkites are gone / I'm so unsure / I can't believe it". He should have known that his mouth wasn't up to such high-level rhetoric.

This guy is so incredibly dense, it's frightening.

It's right here...

:headbang:

It'll have to do in lieu of a better one.

I was wondering why you linked to YouTube and not CNN or something..

*laughs*

The Flying Mandellas.



...Or was it Wallendas? Ah. fuck it. :p

maybe he was confusing the vandellas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_and_the_Vandellas) for mandellas?

Apparently he was trying to say something like, "Where are the Mandela's of Iraq? They're all dead, Sadam killed them all." Trying to make a point about the lack of leadership in Iraq.

I can believe that. Certainly makes sense...of course he screws it up like he always does.

Bush is an idiot. Pure and simple.

The Vandellas? Even Martha?

I'm so relieved.

It's obvious he wasn't saying Nelson Mandela is dead. He was simply stating Saddam killed all the people who had the spirit of Mandela. That is the people who had the spirit to resist oppression and work for freedom. And its true, all the freedom loving Iraqis died a long time ago. All there is now are freedom hating terrorists like Saddam. It's the reason it's so hard for America to be successful in Iraq, cause Mandela is dead.

Maybe Bush was talking about Sand Mandalas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_mandala)
Saddam strikes me as the sort of guy who would stomp all over kid's sand castles (ie. 'killing' them) when on the beach, so why not Tibetan Monk's sand 'castles' as well?

Here's a pretty one:

That's all sand. I've seen one being made. awesome stuff.

Here's a link on how they're made:

I thought he seriously died when I say this...thanks.

Gee, ya think that's what the Head Moron meant? :rolleyes: No sh*t. I believe our point was that Dopey couldn't even make a half-assed illegitimate point with out erroneously making it sound like a Nobel Peace Prize winner was dead.

I'll never understand how Dubya got re-elected. I wasn't a huge fan of the general American public to begin with, but that was a new low. :rolleyes:










(To American lefties, I'm not bashing all Americans, don't worry. Just the daft ones. :D)

:mp5:Looks like it doesn't it??? :sniper:

If you listen to his complete sentence, instead of just three words its clear he doesn't make it sound like Manny is dead.

War party excuse #587

that was sarcasm on my part. check your sarcometre. I don't support the war or pretty much anything bush says about it.

See you in Hell, Nelson :D

I've not only seen a couple being made, but also one being unintentionally and horribly amusingly destroyed! http://digg.com/videos/people/Mother_Leaves_Toddler_Toddler_Destroys_Tibetan_Monk_Sand_Art_Piece
