Bush The Elder " ...didn't hear any complaints at his golf club..."

[The Political Eye]

I had to laugh out loud last night when Bush 42 was on larry King. He was addressing some of the recent bad news and said he had just been at his golf club and didn't hear about any of this and that this was an indication to him that people are just not so concerned as others might lead us to believe.

It was such a classic comment from the self concerned and sheltered.

[TornadoTN]

1. Only the beautiful people matter

"People just aren't concerned about", G.H.W. Bush proclaimed, as he playfully slapped the backside of a young highschooler.

[Kagemusha]

2. fyi, Clinton was #42. There was no Bush 42. Only 41 and 43.

Thought you might want to know.

[genie_weenie]

32. Well, techincally Bush 42 would be W

since only 42 men have been American pResidents, unless you're counting Jefferson Davis as well...

[Kagemusha]

47. Um okay, that's not what I've been hearing for 6 years but whatever

it's not a big deal...

[genie_weenie]

65. It's a semi-joke because Grover Cleveland

was the 22nd and 24th president. Therefore only 42 men have held the office.

[crikkett]

33. 42 - that's the answer

to the question of life, the universe and everything.

(don't panic)

[Dora]

3. That idjit doesn't even know how to buy groceries.

Why the fuck would anyone believe that he knows what the prevailing national sentiment. "I don't believe it, so of course, nobody else does." :eyes:

(mutter sheltered douchebag mutter mutter needs twenty years on an overpass holding a cardboard sign mutter mutter)

[tularetom]

4. Yes and I know minorities don't care about it

because my servants didn't say anything. Jeezus effing christ how insulated from reality can one human possibly be.

[bif]

5. "Now watch this drive..." Like father like son

Just not aware of what's going on around them.

[npincus]

6. oh my... there are no complaints on Mount Olympus

the Gods and Goddesses are in fine humor!

[TAPat]

7. Hey, Poppy, you oughtta check out my golf club! nt

[npincus]

8. BTW... any JEEEEWWWWz at that golf club? Any blacks?

[Hepburn]

44. I would bet...

...that is a CC that does not allow Jews, let alone blacks!

:puke:

[volstork]

9. HEY, POPPY

TURN ON YOUR HEARING AID!!!!!!!!!

[City Lights]

10. I'm glad things are swell at the country clubs.

:applause:
:sarcasm:

Country clubs are so representative of the pulse of America. :eyes:

[DemoTex]

11. Yep. Things are hunky-dory in River Oaks.

Hell, what's to complain about when you can buy a swell second or third vacation home with your tax refunds?

[leeroysphitz]

29. Don't you have to er... PAY some taxes before you get a

refund?:shrug:

[OzarkDem]

45. Nah! GOP just sends them checks anyway

Just like the corporations - they not only don't pay any taxes, we send them checks just for grins. Kinda like welfare.

[JohnnyLib2]

12. No defenses left, none at all. Unless Barney

really goes on the attack.

[screembloodymurder]

13. Poppy, have I got a game for you.

It's on a small public playground in NOLA. Its under repair, but hey, you like b-b don't you.

[Burried News]

14. Rivals Barbara's comments about the NOLA refugees nt

[Marnieworld]

15. Country Club or not

Hasn't it occurred to him that people are probably censoring themselves around him?

Hey 41! Your idiot son sure has robbed our treasury?
Hey 41! I bet your kid missed it when you said that outing a CIA agent was a big no-no?
Hey 41! So have you said to your kid, "I told you so" yet about how invading Baghdad would be a bad idea?

:eyes:

[In Truth We Trust]

23. Hey Poppy .. you should've let that load go down Bab's throat instead.

[Marnieworld]

24. LOL!

And pass the butter please. :rofl:

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Wow, Preppy, how about those supermarket check out scanners?

Bush the Preppy is still out of touch.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. And he lost a second term precisely for that kind of elitism.

You think he would have learned by now, but I think he and BARRR just really really don't see the rest of the world outside of their wealthy circle. Maybe in terms of statistics..."two thirds of the world live in poverty"...but certainly not in reality.

[Jacobin]

18. yup

The whole family is a bunch of wankers and frauds

[LibDemAlways]

19. So the guys at a private golf club where the

members are all millionaires enjoying big tax breaks under the repuke's reign aren't bitching at a former repuke President? Now there's a surprise.

What a sheltered ignoramous.

People with money are the most clueless people around. When my father-in-law passed away a few years back, a well-off woman I've known for many years called to caution me about the "estate tax." Yeah, right. His "estate" was an old, fixer house one of the other siblings moved into and enough in the bank to give him a proper burial; but she just assumed my husband and I were about to be set for life. LOL

[myrna minx]

20. He is truly a man of the people.

:eyes:

How much do you want to bet that he has no idea what a 5 dollar bill looks like?

[kestrel91316]

61. Ditto for the new nickels and the state quarters...................

[Bethany Rockafella]

21. Bush's shouldn't be so blind.

The golfers at the club do know what's going on, they just don't want to talk about it because it makes their Republican party look bad and hypocritical.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Well, I Hear Complaints At My Golf Club

I would say the proportion of anti-Bush to pro-Bush at my club is higher than in the general population. Of course, my place isn't some tawny country club. Lots of just workaday Joes and Janes, who know a liar when they hear one.
The Professor

[elehhhhna]

25. Please. Hec annot hear, nor can he see..the man is in his 80's and

losing it. He's been unplugged since birth, anyway. Remember when he went to a GASP! grocery store in the 80's and was SHOCKED at the price of MILK? Now he's got a touch o'dementia and christ help us he's STILL smarter than his moronic caligulalike bastard son, DevilBoy.

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. Wasn't he also shocked to learn that pizza could be delivered?

[bobbieinok]

55. didn't he stare at a barcode and ask those around him

what it was????

That was during his 1st ever trip to a grocery store.

[elehhhhna]

62. i think that was a cash register lol

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. How very Elitist of him! To quote George Carlin,

"It's a big club and you ain't in it, you and I ain't in it."

[watercolors]

27. How can you hear anything

when your head is constantly up your ass?

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. But it should be hard to talk with a silver spoon in one's mouth.

[crikkett]

34. You mean the "silver FOOT" Ann Richardson spoke of?

Poor George, he can't help it...

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. Oh yeah that is what I meant.

:blush:

[yurbud]

30. did he notice caddy's prosthetic leg, from getting it blown off in Iraq?

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. Touche

[Imagevision]

35. If Bush Sr. didn't sweat Woodward book, then why drag his ass to be on

Larry King to express his point of view, noteing he was there under the premise of his Daughter's new book unveiling but as those who saw the show, Bushco Sr. mainly did a lot of denying on Woodward's latest endeavor. --
{{Usually this crowd goes the "no comment, we wouldn't want to dignfy the question route}}

[gatorboy]

36. I heard that. And they say the left is out of touch with the mainstream.

Not to mention the elitist label. Geez Louise! :eyes:

[glitch]

38. Ghastly jackass. nt

[vssmith]

39. Ever been to a Municipal course?

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. You mean has Poppy?

:rofl: Please! :rofl: Mingling among the unwashed masses is not a BFEE trait, except for photo-ops designed to show their compassionate side that is. :eyes:

[bunny planet]

40. seriously, who writes Poppy and Babs material.

They are so clueless its frightening. This is, after all, who raised Furious George.

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. No need to have someone write this, it's how they really are. I recall

reading that Prescott bush told his kids to have great disdain for the American people. We are apparently not worthy of their presence. We disgust them, truth be told. And George thinks that poor people are poor because they are lazy, which is rich coming from his lazy a$$.

[Virginia Dare]

41. Julius Caesar never heard any complaints...

down at the local bathhouse....and the Queen never hears any rumbles of discontent at the polo matches either....

:rofl:

[EVDebs]

43. Very polite golf partners. Maybe someone should get RUDE ! nt

[Raster]

49. at his golf club??? His lilly-white, old man, rethuglican golf club?

Hmmm, what were they taliking about at Carlyle on the Green?

[saracat]

50. Isn't this the same guy who said both there were NO homeless and there was

NO recession because everyone "He" knew had jobs?

[wageslave71]

59. It was like a thousand points of light...

had blinded him. And best I can tell he hasn't recovered.

[AlCzervik]

51. HW is a real man of the people, the rich people.

[Pacifist Patriot]

52. Isn't this mentality why we got rid of monarchies?

[Rex]

53. The Bush Clan will be remembered as self-serving, pompous assholes.

Poppy is just upset that Junior is really turning their dynasty into a travesty. Couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of worthless assholes.

[kskiska]

54. He once blamed low voter turnout at Iowa caucus

on people being too busy with coming out parties and other things.

[bdamomma]

56. once a ass always an ass

like son like father. yea, another spawn of the devil.

[fooj]

57. You lying sack of shit.

You KNOW that you're concerned. This all points back to YOU, Poppy. And YOU know it.

[wageslave71]

58. I bet Karl Rove is concerned...

along with the other GOP spinmeisters. I wish THEY were all as oblivious as the old man seems to be.

[sakabatou]

60. It's a fucking golf club

Old, white, rich Repukes. Of course they don't complain. ASSHAT!

[Imagevision]

63. Bush Sr. shows up on tv. to dispel rumors of Rice's incometance

which he was quoted as discussing with Cheney, "Condi doesn't seem up for the task"...

[OneBlueSky]

64. and he honestly thinks that the membership of his golf club .. .

represents a cross section of the American public? . . .

puh -leeeeeeeze! . . .

that club is of the good ole boys, by the good ole boys, and for the good ole boys -- and no one else matters the least little bit . . .
