Call Missing Persons Right Fucking NOW. We have a missing past president.

Not only is he nowhere to be found, he seems to have been erased from the national record.

The local all nooz radio is saying that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are there. They mentioned that George HW Bush is too ill to attend.

And then they changed the topic of their reporting to a snafu with Orange tickets at the entrance at First and Louisiana.





George who . . . . . . ?






Hahahahahahaha





LOSER!

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/01/presidents-bush-to-skip-obama-inaugural/

The younger President Bush is citing his father’s health in declining the invitation to attend, according to the officials. The older Bush, who is 88, was just released from the hospital this week after an extended illness.

“President and Mrs. Bush wish President Obama and his family all the best for a wonderful inaugural weekend,” said a spokesman from the younger President Bush’s office Friday.

They're MIA too. I remember when Al Gore had the class to be there to watch the guy who stole it get sworn in. So did John Kerry. Whatsamatta, mitt? Too many of those damned "entitled" people there for ya?

Just as well. It was nice not to have to suffer ANY of them. Bad enough we had to tolerate the presence of boner and yertle, lamar alexander (lamar alexander????????? Now THAT's random), and that asshole scalia in his stupid clown hat.

The former pretender & chief knows what a loser he is. That being said at least he has the good taste not to show his face as a real president is sworn in.

and using his ailing father as a shield (wimpy slime bag)
simply tells me that it has finally sunk in that not only is he detested by Democrats, he is also an embarrassment to Republicans, and an enema to the world at large.

As much as I cringe at the thought of George HW Bush and Barbara, I can resurrect thinking about them for a split second just to have an appreciation of how it must feel to them that their son can't show his face (and won't - coward that he is)

Today marked the demise of the Bushes IMO
and made it impossible for Jeb to ever think of running for President.

I appreciate this thread just so I can be a bit vomitous about all of them, I, too, was struck by the absence of dubya. Especially because I think it was the death knell to their dynasty.

Canadian singer/songwriter Garnet Rogers composed a subtle, slightly non-positive lyrical missive to Bush II

Another rich man's war, another poor man's fight
Keep the flag draped coffins
Hidden from sight
In Washington there's 50,000 names on the wall
You can't name one of them
You were drunk and AWOL
And we're supposed to come when you call


...you don't speak for me.
