"He was only allowed to meet with people that agreed with him"

[SGBL]

I just heard Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democratic Party, UK) say on Cspan2 that bush was only allowed to meet with people that agreed with him when he went to the UK.

No wonder he is so out of touch.... They shield him from any opposition viewpoint.

on edit: He also said bush told him that he was "one of the only people I've met that doesn't agree with me"

1. He is only allowed. . .

by whoever is really in control. . .

[xxqqqzme]

2. once he leaves the US that's only

about 5 people in the UK, Saudi royals and no one else.

3. Are presidents always so "protected"?

Keep the females away from Clinton and dissent away from Bush.

[madinmaryland]

4. Wow, who did he meet with?

Other than Ton Blair, there was probably no one else there.

:evilgrin:

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. That says volumes.

6. Works the same way on this side of the Atlantic

For example, the heavily-screened crowds for his Bamboozlepalooza Tour made sure that never was heard a dissenting word by the Chimperor. And then some talking head on cable (if memory serves, it was Judy Woodruff) had the nerve to say that the Democrats didn't have any alternative plan to the Republican scheme, because they weren't showing up at the ultra-choreographed "town" meetings!

11. hell, the couldn't of gotten in...

they would have been screened out by old white guys with earphones pretending to be important.

7. Bush is the King

Devine right of kings, handed down from King Sr. I thought this was a monarchy but oh noo..and don't let the BOY king hear anything he doesn't like..because Daddy King Sr. and his court will take care of them.

Seymour Hersch has stated the same thing many times. There is no opposition voice that the little emperor hears. Scariest President ever for this reason alone.

8. Bush makes Hannibal Lecter

look normal.

9. Never hearing "NO"

and having that "NO" enforced when interacting with other sentient beings creates a sickness of perception and mind. You see it with children, the small town petty social tyrant, celebrities, royalty, politicos... The "rules" no longer apply to THEM.

15. Can you just imagine

the screaming-meemie fits thrown by the Boy King when, through an unforseen glitch in the screening process, he has to hear any word of disagreement/disapproval? His handler/flunkies must have Pete Townsend-level hear loss from listening to that little diva. Not to mention that their bungholes are set on permanent Red Terror alert from being freshly ripped every time something undesirable -- facts, I believe they're called -- inadevertantly gets past the Chimp's anti-reality force field.

I'm sure he and his handlers aren't really bothered by his being popularly depicted as a folksy buffoon who can't speak in coherent sentences. I'll bet he's plenty coherent when reaming the help... bet he loses the fake accent then, too.

The real Bush -- the entitled frat-chimp -- reaming his underlings (in his mind, that includes everyone else on the planet) just wouldn't make for a good SNL skit. And it might skeer everyone and possibly, slightly awaken them from their dazed gaping at the runaway bride/michael jackson type visual prozac that corporate tv news is kind enough to dose us with.

10. And to meet with people

who comment on how beautiful is royal robe is (as in the emperor has no clothes).

[CottonBear]

12. So is he also saying that * doesn't decide w/ whom he meets?

:eyes: :scared:

[SGBL]

13. Apparently yes

[Vinca]

14. The idiot son lives in a fool's paradise no matter where he is.

I can't think of anyone else more out of touch with the real world.
