Does anyone know where to find a video of Bush crying?

He cried today in his speech. I gotta see this. Was he still smirking as his crocodile tears fell??!

6. Thank you liveoaktx for all your clips--they are important. I have a few
observations after watching "boohoo" * says "fallen" a few times but the last one came out "follum" & he followed this word closely by the soldier's name "Starr", hence "fallen star" then in the middle of this clip he started an eerie Reaganesque head shaking...anyone notice that? Very contrived.

11. I don't know what Reagan did-but are you saying you think he was
coached to evoke Reagan?

12. Yes, maybe not coached, but trying on his own to emulate Reagan.
Reagan had a quirk when he spoke that was an almost palsy-like head shaking, many impersonators greatly exaggerated this at the time. When * started reading the letter "I've died in Iraq" and "It may seem confusing" he did this sort of head shaking.

2. Why do I get the feeling . . .
. . . that if any real investigation happens, the letter will prove to be either quite different than read of totally made-up?

3. I wish they were tears of guilt,but we all know they aren't.
He's crying because he's sentimental over the thought of people dying so he can be a war president. He's sentimental about his image and what others think of him. If only he understood how widely he is despised.

4. Was the letter he read for real?
Or was it made up? Anyone could have typed it onto the dead soldier's computer.

Oh, I assume it's been confirmed the soldier was a real person...?

5. Here's a link I found about him
http://www.blackfive.net/main/2005/09/the_last_letter.html

His letter supposedly was in the NY Times but only partially quoted which pissed off Michelle "Crazy" Malkin to put in the entire context.

10. It was on local news today here in Seattle since the guy was from WA state
Probably another propaganda gimmick; it's his laptop but obviously not in his handwriting and therefore cannot be verified. His family obviously want to believe it's genuine so they are likely not a part of it all if it's a fake. May be discovered as such in a year or so -- like Lynch and Tillman -- but in the meantime it serves its purpose.

7. That fucking Chickenhawk
lying murderer is not worthy of reading that soldier's words. What an opportunistic evil man. Phony fucking crocodile tears.

13. They can on rare occasions become suicidal.
He is both narcissistic and sociopathic, which are usually low risk
diagnoses for suicide. However in some cases when people with these diagnoses are in severe jeopardy, facing extreme pressure and consequences of their illegalities they can become suicidal. Alcohol consumption can increase this potential. On the one hand Shrub's denial is protecting him psychologically, however it puts him at more risk. If reality ever hits him, it could hit him hard and he could decompensate big time. And I think that is why he is drinking so much right now, a way to escape impending reality. But he is only buying himself some time. From a mental status standpoint he looks quite shaky to me when I have seen him in front of the cameras. And he is intoxicated most of the times I have seen him on TV. Not the falling down drunk but the kind of drunk of a long time alcoholic.

15. He should also read letters from dead soldiers who disagree with
him and his war. Everything about him is fabricated, even tears. If in fact he did cry, it was for his own low polling numbers, not for the dead soldier.

16. He sent him to his death for a lie - he should cry
He's got blood all over his hands - thousands and thousands.

17. I think it's a byproduct of the drugs they're feeding him.
He's got to be a on daily cocktail of several drugs, all aimed at keeping him functioning. He's got more mental problems than a psyche ward, and the careful way they keep him from those who will not make him feel worthy and special is almost laughable. He's like some prince who is never supposed to see outside the palace walls, so he never gets his perfect vision of the world altered.

The guy is going to bust out crying before long. He's on the verge now, and it is a sign of his inner turmoil.
