Mark Halperin Shows His Bush Love Derangement Syndrome

From the Chris Matthews special "The Decider" Mark Halperin gets some more of his cringe-inducing Bush love on for all to see.
Transcript below the fold.
Obama's election and the Democratic sweep of Congress represent the American people's opinion of the Decider's presidency. But what will be history's verdict? I put that question to presidential historian Sean Wilentz of Princeton University and Mark Halperin, Editor at Large, Time magazine.
MATTHEWS: Have we ever had a president who relied so much on his gut as George W. Bush?
SEAN WILENTZ, PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: I don't think so. I can't think of one right away. One who took decisions and stuck by them, that's the key I think. It's not so much the instantaneousness of making decisions, I don't even think that Bush worked that way. But I don't think we've had as stubborn a president, certainly not in recent times, one who was unwilling to change his mind to change course.
MATTHEWS: Can you find this, Mark, where the Bush decisions come from? He's the Great Decider.
MARK HALPERIN, TIME MAGAZINE: So resolute and stubborn, you know, he said in his acceptance speech after he was re-nominated he said, "In Texas, you know, people look at that as just walking, not strutting.” I think the two things that we can't know—as much as he's been written about, as much as we've all talked about him, is his relationship to giving up drinking and his relationship to his Lord. I think both of those things contributed to his discipline and his stubbornness. He did not want this job as much as most people who seek it. And then he got it, and I think he just decided he was gonna do it his way, and he never deviated from that.
MATTHEWS: We have the Adams Family and we have the Bush Family of father and son presidencies. In the case of this father and son relationship, how much of that is important?
WILENTZ: In the first case, the younger Adams was on the scene pretty much after his father was away. This case, the father's looking over the shoulder, potentially. And—that has been a factor, I think, in the presidency. I mean, you saw it in the buildup to Iraq. It wasn't George H.W. Bush talking, it was Brent Scowcroft talking, but nevertheless, it was pretty clear that the view from Kennebunkport was rather dark, what was about to happen. I don't know any president that's had a father present looking over your shoulder, nothing like that.
MATTHEWS: I always like to ask politicians or about them, who's in the room when they make their big decisions. It's a great way of cutting to the quick.
WILENTZ: The number of voices that were in that room were pretty small, the ones that really counted. You hear accounts—you read accounts, even, about cabinet meetings and there were two or three people in the room who really counted and everybody else there was kind of stuffed dummy and that was the end of it.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, so it was Cheney—
WILENTZ: And—well, Cheney's people... you know, Scooter Libby and the others, Addington and the others. Condi Rice was important up to a point on foreign policy.
MATTHEWS: Did she challenge the President or just back him up? Was she an enabler?
WILENTZ: From where I was sitting, she looked more like an enabler than an advisor. She's comes from a very different tradition. She's the Brent Scowcroft protégé, after all. And so if there was someone who was going to be restraining—the more evangelical side, and I think that's the word for it, of foreign policy, it would have been she. And you didn't see too much of that.
MATTHEWS: Rate him as commander in chief.
HALPERIN: I do think he deserves high marks for his public presentations after a rocky start in the first few hours, the joint session speech, at Ground Zero, a number of other times when you can't be sure of it, but II'm confident that he performed there very well and other presidents may not have performed as well.
I also think he gets high marks for what we didn't see as commander-in-chief. Not just the fact that there has not been another attack, but we know that he has spent an extraordinary amount of time and psychic energy in organizing homeland security, in dealing with threats around the world, again sometimes overstepping and hurting America's image in the world.
MATTHEWS: Let's shift to a couple of interesting areas, one is politics. Mark, you know politics well. The influence of Karl Rove, the man the President Bush referred to as the architect.
HALPERIN: I think Karl played as big a role as anybody in alienating not just the Democrats in Congress, but half the electorate. And he's been punished with the rise of the liberal blogosphere, liberals on cable TV in a way that the conservatives used to have with the Heritage Foundation, talk radio, et cetera.
MATTHEWS: A lot of blowback here.
WILENTZ: There is blowback. But also, I mean, there was subordination of policy to politics, partisan politics, in a way that was unusual that was, I think, unprecedented.
I mean, you saw that even with the war. I mean, not too long after that wonderful speech of Bush's before the joint session, there was Karl Rove talking to the Republicans saying, "We're gonna run on this issue, we're gonna make this a political issue.” And that was just exactly the wrong thing to do, I think, in a case of war, a good war president, a good commander in chief pulls together, reaches across the aisle, doesn't politicize the war. This war got politicized right away.
MATTHEWS: Is George Bush a tough act to follow?
WILENTZ: There are a lot of big problems out there. And some of which were George Bush's creation, some of which were not. And I don't envy President Obama one bit having, in effect, the Great Depression and World War II placed on his plate at the same time. So, a tough act to follow in some ways—yes, he is a tough act to follow because the mess we've gotten into requires leadership to get us out of. And unless you can do that, you may not be able to become the kind of President you could have been.
HALPERIN: Can I say one thing positive... I think he has an achievement that is more from the bully pulpit than it is programmatic. But if you look at No Child Left Behind, and if you look at AIDS in Africa and some of the other initiatives, I think one thing he really believes in, which is he elevated the public imagination, the public sensibility, the notion of every life being precious, every spirit being important.
MATTHEWS: Well, thank you Professor Sean Wilentz, and thank you Mark Halperin.
George W. Bush has taken solace in comparing his dismal popularity ratings to Harry Truman's. That's understandable, since history now regards Truman as one of our better presidents. But in a recent informal survey of some 100 American historians, 98 percent agree with Sean Wilentz and rate the Bush presidency a failure. And more than 60 percent said he was the worst president ever. Will the passage of time soften that harsh opinion? Mr. Bush can only hope. But as Bush once said, "History, we don't know. We'll all be dead.”

the end of an ERROR!
No more, no less! If historians, any historians, view the Bush presidency as anything more than a failure and a disgrace, you'll know that they are either Republicans or stupid!

This is where I tuned in, turned on and threw up a little:
>>I do think he deserves high marks for his public presentations after a rocky start in the first few hours, the joint session speech, at Ground Zero, a number of other times when you can't be sure of it, but II'm confident that he performed there very well and other presidents may not have performed as well.

The bit about Ground Zero really infuriates me. Is there a person on the planet, placed in the office of President at that time who would NOT have gone and NOT have done at least as good a job? OK, there are a few. Britney Spears, Bill Kristol come to mind. But even Cheney would have been forced to go by his staff and done as well!
Psychic energy, my a**!
No thassa

in this program and in Tweety. It was like a different side of him then I had ever seen.
It was as if he was re-writing Bush history too. It was disturbing I thought. More of a tribute than a condemnation. But maybe I was looking for the wrong thing.
is a waste of time.
Psychic energy? Is that like saying, oh I don't know, he did squat as prez except vacation? Oh, ya, his mind was always in the game, right? Hahahaha. This is an expert? This guy is an idiot.
is psychic energy? That's a new one even for this idiot Halperin.
is what Karl Rove mistook for "charisma" when he developed his first man crush on Bush. It is what you take an Aura bath to refresh.
pay a lot of money to Jim/Jeff Gannon/Guckert for his Aura baths?
n/t
HALPERIN: Can I say one thing positive...
Um, can you say one thing negative about Bush? Halperin's gushing is an always cringe-worthy.
Yeah some people still love Hitler too. And in America they are quite often the same ones that love bush.
This is why we have no teevee. It's just not effin real.
What an ENORMOUS buncha horsecrap.
Christ on a unicycle.
if the phrase
'eat shit and die' were a reality
mark halpern should have died 8 yrs ago.
Mark Halperin is a pathetic liar.
Dickweed didn't mention himself spewing over the 'guy you wanna have a beer with', 'everybody just likes him', 'he outta be on Mt. Rushmore'. Tweety should see whats dribbling from his own chin 1st.
"...he elevated the public imagination, the public sensibility, the notion of every life being precious, every spirit being important.
Where's my THROW-UP bag? Death-and-injury toll in Iraq? Inner-city schools CLOSING? Christians and Muslims hating each other? Rove's "constant cmapaign?" Recession-on-the-verge-of-Depression?
George W. Bush didn't ELEVATE anything. He was "down-only escalator" for every facet of his presidency.
Bush was known as the "Texecutioner" for his assembly line-like processing of death penalty cases. Conservative estimates of Iraqi deaths as a result of his war fought for his Oedipal complex with his daddy are over 100,000. How this shithead Halperin can claim Bush's "notion that every life is precious" is laughable.
I read this article yesterday. It's really long but it's also pretty damning by some really important people. Worth reading.
And that pic on with that article. Notice Bush is always the dumbest looking fool in the room?
there's one for each page - the whole article was 14 pages long. The pic of Condi looks like fire is about to come out of her eyes. What amazes me is how unhappy they always look.
Got into the 5th page and was too pissed to read anymore.
spare bunk for another. Where's Gonzales?
What a disgusting and unprofessional dupe of the Neocon party---thanks Mark for putting the anal in your "analysis."
Can someone define "psychic energy" for me? I ask that because I don't know WTF it is.
Psychic energy runs the gamut from the energy that produces thought, to ectoplasm, and what aura or kirlian techniques photograph.
It's based on the idea that all that exist are energy fields, can interact with and affect other energy fields, and can leave energy signatures. It's similar to Origenes Adamantius's energy bubbles, or the vibrations of the 60's. But than Adamantius, despite being a leading church scholar, was eventually anathemized.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhvqVqLAdLI
I just read that psychic energy line in the article and saw what you meant. Halperin is using a lame and inaccurate simile for thought and spiritual, and rather than use the term spiritual which might sound too religious, and attempting erudition, he came out sounding more like New Age babbling..
Thanks! Now let's see if I can understand your explanation. To do so, I may need some 'psychic energy". I'm not sure I have any of that, but I'll dig around and try to find some. Maybe if I consulted a psychic first it might help.
They'd only give you a colonic.
Hot Toddies anyone?
I WILL have a Hot Toddy! Thank you!
Adding to what ysbaddaden has said, here's kind of a fun thing to do to "see" the energy emanating from your own body (or someone elses):
Take an ordinary pendulum. It can be a small sinker with some fishing line, or a girls necklace with a pendant of some kind.
You wrap the end of the chain around your fingers a little then open your hand with your fingers spread apart. Hold the pendulum about a half an inch or so from the tip of your thumb and try to be still. Within a few seconds the pendulum will start to circle in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion. Then when you move to the next finger, the pendulum will stop and start spinning the opposite direction. All it's doing is picking up the energy, which goes a little to the whole Kirlian photography thing.
I learned how to do this in a cool book I bought years ago called, "Rhythms of Vision" by Lawrence Blair.
You can also just hold the pendulum in mid air and ask it questions. First ask which way it will move for "yes", then for "no". Often times it will just move back and forth for yes and in a circle for no or vice versa.
It's fun!
Let me know if it works for you guys and Happy 2009!
What you're describing in asking questions is the principle behind scrying, and is also a variation, if not the oringial for the Ouija. I started practicing that 30 years ago.
The only trouble I found was inconsistancy. I would swear the directions for Yes, No, I don't know would change almost everyday. The scientific explanation is slight movements of the fingertips, either muscular, gravitational or blood pulse.
According to the standard model in physics (Murray Gell-Mann), there are -- for now -- only 3 known forces in our universe -- the electroweak, the strong and gravity. Claims that there are other forces -- chi, love, oneness, psychic -- aren't defacto wrong but there is no empirical evidence to support these hypotheses. Reality's a bitch and cold-hearted too.
I loooovvve chi...
http://kmwithlori.files.wordpress.com/2007/04...
Actually the electroweak and the strong have not been proven yet. That was one of the reasons they started working on the Super Conducting Super-Collider in Texas 20 years ago. The proof they were seeking would only last a miniscule fraction of a second. The project has since been cancelled.
However magnetism, electromagnetism, and electricity are well established and power our needs constantly. Of course there is that curious effect of electricity on human/animal tissue that Luigi Galvani and his nepheew Giovanni Aldini experimented with.
I looked it up actually it's strong and weak nuclear forces, and electromagnetism, not gravity. It's also not standard Newtonion physics, but Quantum Mechanics.
The super-collider's mission I'm still a little unclear on; they were looking for sub-atomic particles, I think, that they gave weird names to like up, down, weak etc.
met Tweety. It was psychic energy that propelled the charge up his leg when Obama spoke. It had such force it breached the flyboy codpiece he wore in honor of his professed admiration for Bush landing on the USS Lincoln to proclaim Miss Sean's Accomplishments. Come on, we all saw it. It was on our TV.
"I think the two things that we can't know—as much as he's been written about, as much as we've all talked about him, is his relationship to giving up drinking and his relationship to his Lord. I think both of those things contributed to his discipline and his stubbornness."
-----
Though I'm not a religious person and a moderate drinker, I would posit that bush gave up on "his Lord" and found something else in the bottle.
"He did not want this job as much as most people who seek it."
-----
And yet he stole it twice. Damn, I hate lazy thieves!

HALPERIN: Can I say one thing positive... I think he has an achievement that is more from the bully pulpit than it is programmatic. But if you look at No Child Left Behind...
No Child Left Behind is the worst thing to happen to America's kids since Separate but Equal and 20oz. Cokes.
Never ceases to amaze me that there are still people still barking for Bush, that Bush is some sort of misunderstood genius, that people really like him, that he's a great guy, that he's a great man.
Absolute bullshit. They ain't foolin' no one but themselves.
And Halperin manages to make himself look more of an imbecile every day, with his statement on "pro-Obama coverage" and his infamous "Matt Drudge rules our world" comment.
What is a "Time" magazine?
Do they have Time Magazine in the Quantum level?
Madame Chiang and Dionne Warwick, who gave gift subscriptions to the girls over at Psychic Energy Connection.
"Have we ever had a president who relied so much on his gut as George W. Bush?"
That's not the question. Nor is the question if Bush was a good or bad president. Nor is it whether Bush was qualified or unqualified.
The question is, "How was it that a man so clearly unqualified twice took power as president of the United States? Answer: U.S. Corporate Media
On December 15, Vice President Cheney admitted on national TV that he authorized torture, including waterboarding. That shocking confession makes Cheney a war criminal. But apart from Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, the Corporate Media barely noticed!
I believe this is the #1 issue in America today - Media.
The Internet has become a sort of "fifth estate" of the U.S., but one can easily see that already the elite-corporate-political class is moving to change that phenomenal freedom of information flow and inherent power of the Internet.
Having lived in Europe from 1992 through my return to the U.S. in 2000, I had developed information sources other than U.S. television, radio, and newspaper. Having access to those sources via the Internet, I was able to stand up and say to my colleagues in the U.S. in 2002 - "the Bush administration is lying to you about the Iraqi threat and the reasons for any U.S. invasion!"
Now yes, there will always be the easily duped everywhere. The U.S. does not have a monopoly on that. I'm talking about the intelligent individuals who hated me in 2002 because I did not support George W. Bush.
One women I respect, a manager and a major high-tech company, when I started to run down the reasons why the Bush arguments for invading Iraq were a hoax said to me, "Well I'm sorry you believe I'm so uninformed." There it is. Do I have to say anymore?
How can you tell intelligent people that their reality is false? These people go home, watch network news, read their newspapers in the evening, listen to their radios in their cars.
Who am I? Some American nut who lived in Europe for 8 years? "We always knew you were a French lover," one said.
Reality is what people on this island seperated by two oceans see and hear - period.
The reason a man so clearly unqualified to be president assumed power was because the "corporate elite-class," including their agent Karl Rove among other, created reality for enough Americans to get their guy into office twice, fight an uncessary war, and rob the U.S. Treasury. The "corporate elite-class" does not control the media - they ARE, among many other things, THE MEDIA. In hindsight, we see the effects - we know who are the winners and the losers.
I am saddened by my acceptance that Cheney and Rove will probably never go to jail, the problem of "corporate elite-class," including the incoming administration, will never go away until the "corporate elite-class" media is attacked, restructured, and re-created by Americans with the same vigour that it led us into an unecessary and illegal war.
Until that happens, nothing has changed. The media today is the same media of 8 years ago. Nothing has changed so nothing will change.
More people need to read Robert McChesney, Noam Chomsky, and Herbert Schiller.
You're spot on with your analysis, BTW. MSM is nothing but a cheerleading squad pretending to be "one of us".
So why bother with the preceding 39 lines of bull roar?
"HALPERIN: Can I say one thing positive... I think he has an achievement that is more from the bully pulpit than it is programmatic. But if you look at No Child Left Behind, and if you look at AIDS in Africa and some of the other initiatives, I think one thing he really believes in, which is he elevated the public imagination, the public sensibility, the notion of every life being precious, every spirit being important."
Is this a joke? Besides the fact that both of these programs are utter failures how does starting 2 wars coincide with the notion of every life being precious?
The right has transformed the word "life" to mean fetus. Once it crawls out of the womb, it's on it's own.
the late, great, George Carlin, pro-lifers think if you're pre-born you're fine, but if you're pre-school, you're fucked.
Now that I've cleaned up the mess from puking after watching that clip...
Gave up drinking...NOT. Discipline???? I guess that's how the GOP damage control squad refers to arrogance, incompetence and just plain being a big bully living in a bubble. 'No Child Left Behind'....puhleeez, yeah a program that received crumbs in funding if any at all. It's all a futile attempt at damage control. In order for the Republicans to restore any confidence or credibility to their party they have to put lipstick on the WarPig to try to make him look all perty, smart and stuff like that like a preznit oughtta.
If they want to restore any confidence in their party, they would do better to simply throw Dick and George under the bus.
It was Bush's "relationship with his Lord and when he gave up drinking" when he killed hundreds of thousand of innocents in a trumped up war based on lies. Had Bush stayed coked up and drunk under the table America would not be run into the ground and there would be a lot less suffering in the world today.
These conservative charlatans are always ready to reference religion and the Lord in an attempt to con the masses.
Classic revisionist history from classic courtiers. The Sun King, Louis XIV, at Versailles with 5000 ass-kissing nobility comes to mind.
Seems as though Tweety tied one on at a pre New Year's Eve Party last night.
I was really surprised that the other two men didn't start laughing when Halperin gave his little "...every life being precious, every spirit being important" speech. What a load of crap. Yeah, every life is important, with exceptions: People of Afganistan, Iraqies, American military, American reserves, People of New Orleans, miners, the poor...the list could go on.
Who does Halperin think he is fooling.
"Who does Halperin think he is fooling."
Those who supported Bush in the last 2 presidential election and McCain/Palin in 2008.
Exactly. Notice how they edited the interview so when he was saying that Bush "elevated," the shot cut to black and white photos of Bush, hands out over the podium with poor black people listening as he "spreads" his gospel, the Bush gospel of how every spirt is precious and important, as he walks with the downtrodden, arms around their shoulders. The Messiah.
I mean, I really want to puke.
How many Americans saw all the other thousand images - GSA's head Lurita Doan's testimony, Scooter Libby's testimony and lies, Paul Wolfowitz telling setting the war cost at $30 billion before congress, Douglass Feith, Rumsfeld, Hadley, Rice, Perle, Cheney, Tenet, Powell, Paulson, Gonzales, flagged drapped coffins, terrorized Iraqis, children murdered, broken levees, failed bridges, contaminated trailers, millions displaced from their homes, uneducated children, packed prisons, death spread around the planet while Bush jokes about whether WMDs are under his desk.
And these a-holes want to talk about Bush's "gut."
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID...
Frank Rich from last Sunday's NYT column: "That Bush finally joined Bono in doing the right thing about AIDS in Africa does not mitigate the gay-baiting of his 2004 campaign, let alone his silence and utter inaction when the epidemic was killing Texans by the thousands, many of them gay men, during his term as governor."
In addition as governor of Texas Bush executed more prisoners (many of whom probably would have ben exonerated by DNA tests that was deemed "to costly" for Texas taxpayers) than any other US governor.
Bush continues with killing 4500 Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians in a war that didn't need fighting and an environmental policy that is leading to widespread disaster.
If this compassionate conservative were any more "compassionate" there wouldn't be anyone left on the planet
Halperin gives credit to Bush for giving up drinking (but no criticism for becoming an alcoholic to begin with), and his relationship with God. I'm not so sure about the former, he's hardly been seen in public since last summer. As to the latter, Bush should be more concerned with how St. Peter will judge him, not the historians.
That of course assumes that his faith is genuine, not phonied up for political expedience. I don't find it the least bit convincing.
deserves any credit for these two items, neither had anything to do with his Presidency, since they allegedly predate it.
if he had a relationship with God it must have been a pretty bad one considering his record.

does remind me of a young Laura Bush. Whiter than white and squeaky clean.
As we already know the success bar is set low for Republicans. If you're not a fall down drunk who can string 2 complete sentences together you should be given credit. Even though Bush still can't accomplish the latter, Halperin thinks Bush should be commended for accomplishing the former therefore the Bush presidency was successful.
Pretty apt description of the last 8 years:

I refuse to swallow my vomit.
Isn't that what supposed to kill Jimi Hendrix?
"But if you look at No Child Left Behind, and if you look at AIDS in Africa and some of the other initiatives, I think one thing he really believes in, which is he elevated the public imagination, the public sensibility, the notion of every life being precious, every spirit being important."
Jesus jumping Christ.Just a breathtakingly offensive thing to THINK,let alone give voice to.
I wonder if we write that on the bombs we drop.
I wonder if the RNC or Rove himself is paying Halperin to say crap like that, or does Halperin really believe that?
I thought Tweety was referring to Gomez and Pugsley when he tried to compare 43 and 41 to an Adams family . It sure made a whole lot more sense .
Gomez and Pugsley and even George H.W. do not deserve the comparison.
guess that makes BigDick Cheney Uncle Fester?
Of all the "accomplishments" to mention, this is one of the most ridiculous. Every time they poll the people who actually work in the schools...the teachers...they say it doesn't work and has been a failure. I personally know a number of teachers that say it's been nothing but a disaster from day one.
As a teacher in Ohio who has been teaching for almost 25 years, I can tell you from first hand experience what a waste of time and money NCLB has been. It has punished teachers and school districts for not meeting targets that are constantly moving, it demoralizes teachers who only can teach to the test and their students who are under stress to pass these high-stakes tests. Then it only gets worse once they reach high school. There has always been accountability in public schools for what is taught and how students are learning. We did not need some politicians to mandate these archaic rules and regulations on every public school in the US. NCLB has been an abject failure from day one. I believe the only reason this law was enacted was to essentially dismantle public education.
The republicans wanted public schools to fail so they could implement their plans for vouchers for all private, religious, or for profit schools. They funny thing is these schools do not have to meet the same standards as public schools, and taxpayers money is taken from their local schools to be given to private ones. Public schools have to educate every student who comes through the door, but private schools do not. As a matter of fact I have had students return to the public school after having been in the private school and they are behind in their learning. This is an outrage! President Obama needs to listen to the people in the trenches who know what works and what doesn't. Get rid of the waste of NCLB!!!
With everything you say - and I add my additional opinion below.
Except for one thing -- there's nothing funny about NCLB.
=-)
*
I suspect you're right about the Reps wanting public schools to fail.
So true - a disastrous program from beginning to end.
It would be more appropriately called "no cannon fodder left behind" as it deliberately worked to dumb down our youth to channel they directly into the military and away from advanced education and educational opportunities.

VOMIT.

After getting annoyed all day by idiots like Halperin, I reach for some Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Yes, 9/11/01 = "the first few hours" of Bush's presidency as long as hours = months and few = 8.
What they call "resolution" was Bush sticking to a scheme that was thought of in the 90s called "Project for a New American Century". He didn't veer off course because he's not smart enough, doesn't have a conscience and doesn't know to be anything else but a political patsy. His options were limited by him being who he is.
I had to switch channels. The Bush administration has been a massive failure at literally everything. Obama will inherit our country at its worst time in history. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch. Katrina happened on Bush's watch. Afghanistan and Iraq? Bush's watch. We have now joined the nations that torture thanks to Bush. Our economy tanked on Bush's watch. Even our pets were poisoned on Bush's watch!
Clinton's fault. Don't forget that...
Tweety still taking orders from his fascist bosses at GE/NBC. .."Get out there Chris and re-build Bush's Legacy so we can sell more war and more arms."
"Bush was known as the "Texecutioner" for his assembly line-like processing of death
penalty cases. Conservative estimates of Iraqi deaths as a result of his war fought for his
Oedipal complex with his daddy are over 100,000. How this shithead Halperin can claim
Bush's "notion that every life is precious" is laughable."
