Current headline on CNN:
Bush: 'I'm the decider'
He's the "decider." Does President Numbnutz mean "decision maker?" Geez...
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush sharply defended Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday, saying the embattled Pentagon chief is doing a "fine job" despite calls for his resignation from six retired military generals.
...
"I listen to all voices, but mine is the final decision," he said. "And Don Rumsfeld is doing a fine job. He's not only transforming the military, he's fighting a war on terror. He's helping us fight a war on terror. I have strong confidence in Don Rumsfeld.
"I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."
Shoot me. I can't take this anymore.
Oh fuck. What an unabashed moron we have for Commander-in-Chief.
I know this isn't news, but I just had to post it...

P.S. This really isn't worth recommending. It's just another sad commentary on what we're facing as a nation in next two-and-half years.
As I note in the comments, it's as if we've all decided to get in the car with the drunk driver at the wheel and we're saying, "Drive as fast as you can!"
Shit.
Update [2006-4-18 15:9:17 by Bob Johnson]:
It is a word.
As dday points out, below, "decider" is actually an acceptable form of the word. Not used frequently, but acceptable.
I take it all back. George Bush is a genius. Karl Rove has, once again, played me for the fool!
Just received this transcript from my source in the White House:
ROVE: They fell for it!
BOLTEN: Who fell for what?
ROVE: Daily Kos. Some asshole named Bob Johnson just posted about doofus saying he's the "decider" this morning.
BOLTEN: Bush is doofus, right?
ROVE: Of course! Get with the program, man!
BOLTEN: And Daily Kos?
ROVE: A liberal blog.
BOLTEN: Blog?
ROVE: Geez...
BOLTEN: I was looking through some papers on my desk this morning...
ROVE: Yeah?
BOLTEN: And I didn't see your resignation letter.
ROVE: Talk to doofus. I ain't going anywhere.
BOLTEN: Oh yeah?
ROVE: Yeah. He's the decider.
