* speaks ...... On coffins, seals, and funerals. Proud 'Merican.
What a twit.

I think the thing that struck all our delegation most intensely was the final scene of the plain-looking casket -- one of three, by the way -- lead, wood and wood -- being carried and held up for the seal to be seen, and then the sun pouring out. This will be one of the highlights of my presidency, to have been at this great ceremony.


-- On one of the highlights of his presidency: Pope John Paul II's funeral, Waco, Texas, Apr. 8, 2005

1. Awful choice of words .... the funeral is a highlight.
Why wasn't meeting the Pope a highlight of his presidency? Maybe all that scolding Bush took from the Pope about Iraq....

:eyes:

3. but that's WHY the funeral was a highlight
god saw that little pope arrogantly scolding His chosen leader of the christian world and smote him down.

to shrub, the funeral is confirmation that god disagrees with all of the pope's criticisms, and that god agrees that the war on iraq was indeed god's will.

see? it IS the highlight of his presidency for him!

2. Bush is too modest
he neglects to mention the "Great Moment' (actually a half hour) when, after being notified for the second time that the uSA was under attack, he sat reading "My Pet Goat" and did absolutely nothing to defend the nation (except smirk, shift, and look guilty).

Be Bold Bush. Claim Credit for all your "Great" Moments.

however unfortunate ,having choked on a 3 syllable word while reading from a book held upside down about a goat to small children... an end to the Madness he has led us and the world into would be cheered world wide.

i can's believe they actually elected a Wet Brain. Alcoholic Moron. Drug Addict,... TWICE.

7. the daily affirmation, from his own mouth, that he's a total idiot.
every time he opens his pie-hole, he proves to the world he's a knuckle dragging moron.
