Quote of the day
posted at 10:35 pm on January 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
“Thankfully, Barbara is waiting for us in the Sitting Room. It’s strange to see my college friend in this place, and I am comforted by her familiar smile. I kiss her cheek, and she introduces me to Mrs. Bush, who is impossibly delightful. As I move forward to shake her hand, I lead with my left side to keep my rain-soaked wrinkled khakis from awakening the odor of marijuana tucked inside the cigarette pack in my right-hand pocket…
Before long, a handsome chef serves us each a helping of White House chicken potpie. As my plate arrives, a horrible odor arises from the table. If that’s coming from the potpie, I think, there’s no way I’ll be able to eat. How does one turn down food from a head of state? The question is rendered moot when the president peers down under the table to scold Barney, the family’s Scottish terrier, for farting…
The president eats quickly. Apparently when he is finished, we all are. The butler steward swiftly retrieves my half-full plate. It’s decided that popcorn will serve as dessert in the White House Movie Theater.
After two hours in the dark with the president and the First Family, I make plans with Barbara for tomorrow, which usually means shopping or Pilates or karaoke and sake. I jokingly invite the president to join us, but he’s off to meet ‘Poot’n’ for the first time. He gives me a playful pat on my cheek and says, ‘You’re a good boy, Smitty.’”

So many very true comments here.
At first I thought it was a nice article until in the second half of the piece he suddenly demonstrated an unbelievable ingratitude for the wonderful and continuing hospitality he enjoyed thanks to the President and his family.
The saying ‘Familiarity breeds contempt’ has been true for thousands of years and remains so to this day. Contrary to the author, I should imagine that President Bush’s daughters are nothing but proud of the man who favoured integrity over popular opinion almost every single time. However, I very much doubt that she still invites this guy around for dinner or anything else.
I even try to conjure up a bit of sympathy and tolerance for the author not being able to ‘marry the man he loves’, but for gods sake, it’s not as if they’re going to found a happy family and have many children together is it?
This guy needs to grow up for gods sake.

JetBoy,
Don’t let the words of one smart a** person make you paint all of us with a broad brush.
I think we agree on all issues, you and me. Because I believe sexuality shouldn’t be a political issue at all.
Rightwingsparkle on January 14, 2009 at 8:12 AM
Here’s a great, big clue: The photo Allah used to accompany this story shoes a shoe in W’s face.
Buy Danish on January 14, 2009 at 8:16 AM
While philosophically I agree with you, you have to understand this is why the left controls the message. They play to win using whatever means necessary. The GOP is playing by the Marquess of Queensberry rules and is losing because of it. Bush, with all his pretend hokum, is really a blue blood and isn’t willing to lower himself to win the argument.
Ann NY on January 14, 2009 at 8:20 AM
What an ingrate little prick.
Bush doesn’t agree with him on everything.
Bad Bush. Bad Bush.

That figures.

Guess this idiot wanted to see W running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to micro manage every detail about what was happening in the US after 9/11.
We all know how well micro managing worked for Carter.
Jim708 on January 14, 2009 at 8:41 AM
This loser doesn’t know how to use duct tape. For starters, any Alaskan can tell you how to arrange it so rain doesn’t get in the window.
Second, he forgot to affix some of it to his mouth.
fireweednectar on January 14, 2009 at 8:42 AM
I notice the caveat of stating it was from his memory…in other words, “I made up a lot of stuff”…
right2bright on January 14, 2009 at 8:53 AM
This pothead perv who dares to diss the President might be singing a different tune if he gets AIDS, and might thank him for increasing funding.
Maybe he can get another invitation to the White House on his knees under Obama’s desk, in the footsteps of Monica Lewinsky.
You’re a BAD boy, Smitty.
Steve Z on January 14, 2009 at 8:55 AM
I very much doubt that Barbara and Jenna feel anything but pride in their father, and he is proud that they turned out so well. They might disagree politically on some things, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were more socially liberal than the Prez. But you can disagree with a family member on issues and still love them and take pride in their accomplishments.
As for the press treatment, we might whine about how Sarah Palin has been treated, but I think that some of the press characterizing the twins as “bimbo parties girls” has been extra nasty. Having an ex-friend who you were close enough with that you asked him to dinner diss your dad in a smarmy article six years after the fact is just another blow.

Opportunistic dirt-bag.

What a jerk. Glad he’s not embarrassed to write an article basically throwing a shoe at the president. Nice.
scalleywag on January 14, 2009 at 9:23 AM
Go to hell.
marklmail on January 14, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Oh, I don’t paint with a broad brush. Sometimes I feel that I’m grouped in with the stereotype, but I’m used to it.
And true, we’d agree on just about every political issue.
JetBoy on January 14, 2009 at 9:41 AM
yes.. because they leave rooms like that exactly.how.they.were. no need to repaint or repair any cracks in the plaster of the walls.
yee gawds..
with as many times as the Clintons played Motel 6 with that bedroom, I would hope it was fumigated when W. went there..

Agreed, HA is fast becomming a “home” for anti-Christian bashers and the hangout for leftover BDS sufferers. Can’t wait for ManlyRash’s site for real Conservatives.
Mark Garnett on January 14, 2009 at 9:46 AM
shorter disclaimer: I was high when I wrote this.
shorter still: I made stuff up.
DaveC on January 14, 2009 at 9:53 AM
He (Smitty) seems like a ‘normal’ liberal, immature, gay guy. What’s the big deal? If he’s to continue with his circle of friends, doesn’t he have to have some confessional/penance for his sitting down to dine with a perceived conservative?
scottjenn on January 14, 2009 at 9:54 AM
why is this being printed out now?
did it take ‘Smitty’ that long to put down the bong and start to write something?
and what kind of moron would walk around the most secure residence in the nation with a joint in his pocket?
back in my ‘experimenting days’, I still had the presence of mind to NOT TO SMOKE when I was going to be around my parents and HIDE MY STASH someplace in the car or elsewhere..
I’m crying BS to the pot… it’s embellishment trying to make his report sound cooler than what it really is.. ‘dude, I carried a joint around with me in the White House’..
but then, he is a liberal so he could be that dumb..
(The Secret Service dogs are probably trained to sniff for gunpowder and traces of explosives.. so he should have gotten by them okay)
DaveC on January 14, 2009 at 10:10 AM
What an asshole. Of course, I’m sure he likes that term.
Just another drama queen wanting their 15 minutes of fame.
NotTheMomma on January 14, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Dollars to donuts that this turd will be on Bill Maher within a week. The Daily Show, and Colbert also
thomasaur on January 14, 2009 at 10:30 AM
How pathetically lame…and…well…ghey
LimeyGeek on January 14, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Yep, more and more distance between me and HotAir.
Particularly, if I want to get bashed for being Christian, I’ll go to DU.
It’s AP’s house, so I guess I’ll let him have it…
CBarker on January 14, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Unfortunately this guy is a prime example of the generation who loves Obama. Valueless loser who wouldn’t recognize an honorable man even if he found one in the stall next to him on the NJ Turnpike.
katiejane on January 14, 2009 at 10:57 AM
C. Brian Smith is now a known, and sadly understandable entity for history to acknowledge. It is a small world after all and I hope this shamefully follows him wherever he goes.
Quetzal on January 14, 2009 at 11:05 AM
A terrible mind is a thing to waste.
I hope Barbara dumps him and he never gets another writing gig.
PattyJ on January 14, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Hey, leave Motel 6 out of it. I saved a lot of dough sleeping there for my SAP clients.
By the way, the term now used to save clients money by staying in lower cost hotels, car rentals, and lower priced flights is:
Pulling a Sarah: Saving money for clients when you don’t have to but you do because you are a professional and it helps the clients to save money.
Sapwolf on January 14, 2009 at 12:06 PM
And by the way, the writer is a leftist punk, par-for-the-course with much of the info. made up.
AP posts it because he knows he gets a reaction from us, just like those dynamite Cuda threads.
Sapwolf on January 14, 2009 at 12:07 PM
Superficial understanding of the President, and the presidency, from a superficial kid.
Y-not on January 14, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Meh. Just another handwringer with daddy issues.
So concerned about America under attack he didn’t think to volunteer. Because you see, like every other narcissist, it’s all about him. He can’t marry a boy.
saint on January 14, 2009 at 1:09 PM
This beer-drinkin Smitty fella sounds like an evil-doer. I think he might be misunderestimating the Decider.
Vernon Hardapple on January 14, 2009 at 1:09 PM
And the betrayal is actually more to his friend than to her father.
saint on January 14, 2009 at 1:10 PM
This article is so remorselessly predictable. Why bother writing it? “Mr. Bush doesn’t know how to pronounce famous Russians’ names correctly. Put’n, indeed! It’s almost as though he wasn’t raised in New York City.” Please, spare me the classism and regional bigotry. Sophomoric nonsense (Marijuana being snuck into the White House? How bold!) that fails to illuminate the Bushes, but provides a window into the soullessness of the East Coast intellectual class.
slknoerr on January 14, 2009 at 2:02 PM
Yep, he’s got to save face and quick, President Bush has only got days left in the White House.
4shoes on January 14, 2009 at 2:06 PM
And they say MJ doesn’t fry the brain!! Here’s proof!
Christian Conservative on January 14, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Well, well, well. That explains a lot.
SoulGlo on January 14, 2009 at 2:30 PM
This invert would rather his president proclaim at every press conference that he work(ed) his fingers to the bone on whatever was the hot topic of the day and still had time to mentor WH interns or busy himself with skinny dipping with the hot young thing of the moment in the downstairs swimming pool like the mythic JFK.
thegreatbeast on January 14, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Is nothing below a lib? This dude comes off as some passive aggressive sorority chick dishing dirt on her ex-BFF. I swear, if they ain’t calling for the death of jooooos then their acting like classless Pr!cks.
As a very young child it sometimes felt like the right thing to do to pick on others to make myself feel kewl and make the kewl kids dig me. If many others were picking on the same people then it was also safe and easy. In other words it was a bitch move. Now I learned this was a wrong thing to do when I was a little kid learning other basic social skills. Why is it that almost (if not…) ALL libs never learned basic social skills. And I strongly stand by the “ALL.” Their lack of desire to police their own for anything from classless jerks to purely evil people incriminates th entire group.

How’d that.. normal people school.. work out for you, btw?
Reaps on January 14, 2009 at 9:56 PM
I hate the liberal left of this country!!!With people like this running around the U.S. it really disgusts me. It may sound horrible but maybe we should send this little butt burglar to Europe to live with his kind and see how he feels about our President then. It is sad to see our constitution used to say and do these types of things. Go live in a homo-infested socialist regime and then run your little stretched lips about their leaders and see what happens to your as* then. GO TO HELL PRICK!!!!!
