bush: 'I cry a lot'...'I do a lot of crying in this job.' "he saw ghosts coming out of the wall,"
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 05:41 AM by Philosoraptor

WASHINGTON • George W. Bush, the U.S. President, is prone to bouts of crying caused by the stress of his job and claims to have seen ghosts emerge from the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House, according to a new book on his presidency.

In a series of remarkably candid admissions by a sitting president, Mr. Bush confides to author John Draper he has been "sustained by the discipline of the faithful experience" during the most difficult days of his presidency.

"I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot," Mr. Bush says in Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush, which was released to U.S. bookstores yesterday. "I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow."

Mr. Bush insists "he saw ghosts coming out of the wall," according to the friend.



----------------------------

I guess Hillary got emotional yesterday, but I didn't see her actually go all weepy, like the president does all the time, I remember when the asshole was running in 2000 he got all teary and said he was tired and just about broke down like Conway Twitty, so let's remind repubs that bush is the weepiest pres we've EVER had.

I'd cry too if I saw ghosts coming out of the walls at the white house, wonder who they are, 4000 dead soldiers maybe? A million Iraqi ghosts? 3000 ghosts from the twin towers? Keep the Kleenex handy mr. president.

11. Being the most hated man on the planet....
must get to you after a while, even if you're a psychopath like Bush. "Why doesn't anybody like me, Laura"? :cry:

"God loves me, he's my pal". :eyes: Great! A delusional psychopath crying on the shoulder of an imaginary angry daddy in the sky. :crazy: The REALLY sad thing about this is that many people in this country don't see this as disturbing behavior! :banghead:

We need a new age of reason and enlightenment in this country, and quickly.

13. If any of us saw ghosts coming out of the walls and talks to
imaginary beings, we'd be taken off the streets for some obviously needed help. This guy is only trying to run the world for real, so thy leave him alone.

bu$h & cheney need to be impeached and removed from office.

24. Forgot that one
I love it when the powerful get the sniffles when their own troubles are too much for them.

When I'm done playing ma geetar, I shed a tear for all ma woes.

Now watch this drive!

Should have drive this wimp into a breakdown long ago. All he needed was some rational opposition.

Is this story coming out now because they are alarmed that the blowback will suddenly remember all those tapes of the manly public crocodiles? Like Bush's meltdown press conference?

19. This bullshit crying crap makes me sick. you wanted a war?
and you either start it by lying or vote for it, you watch blood being washed off the streets daily for 5 years, you ask for more money and it's memebers say 'yes' and you're crying now? I don't want to hear it. Whether it's how it was drummed up or if it's about losing an election. I don't want to hear it. Plenty of time in the past 5 years to cry for thousands and hundreds of thousands.

Period.

22. I cry at commercials. I've never understood people who don't cry.
Plus, that campaign is like a stress Marathon. I'd be a sobbing mess!! I'm not a big fan of HRC, but I was glad to see her softer side. However, maybe since most of the time she seems so strong, people didn't believe it was genuine. But I find a lot of people now-a-days don't believe anything, which is kind of sad.

A mass murderer. Period. Simple, moral truth.

44. Sorry, just venting on the Bush virus...er...family as a whole.
Most mass murders may have tinges of a conscience or what may be regarded by some as a "soul", but I've yet to find proof of an inkling of such in any of the Bushes. And I'm not holding my breath, either.

30. He probably cries when he feels "expected" to.
Feeling bad "on cue" does not necessarily indicate a conscience.

If he does in fact have a conscience, I predict he's going to have some sleepless nights ahead.

35. Yeah, It was the ghost Lincoln himself....
... He's still looking for your father- You know, that man who somehow managed to ejaculate by mistake several times...

Lincoln not only wants your ass put away for everything you've allow to happen in these stolen years of the presidency, he wants your father's ass, and everyone in between who turned the one-time Republican party into a world-wide corporate, fascist bottomless pit.

He's coming back to get chew... He's really pissed off. But, not as pissed off as the rest of us who will hunt you down and make you stand trial for war crimes and more crimes...

Nightie-night, George...

47. I don't know why there'd be ghosts in the Lincoln Bedroom
since Lincoln never even slept there. He never slept in that bed, either. His wife purchased it, but Lincoln hadn't used it. The room itself wasn't a bedroom back in Lincoln's time. It's simply a room chosen in modern times to contain furniture from the civil war period. Maybe ghosts would be more at home in the East Room, where Lincoln's body lay in state.
