well maybe not THAT callous but this will have to do...

Bush to tornado victims: 'Life is unfair'

[Adsos Letter]

1. "Life is unfair"

unless yer daddy and his buddies can bail you out of yer fuckups... :puke:

[Warpy]

6. Even that was unfair

Look what a waste of oxygen it turned him into.

Perhaps if he'd been forced to find his own way out of even one of his early messes, he wouldn't be such a total fuckup now.

[Postman]

8. Even Poppy Bush can't bail his ass out of the major fuck-up that is known as IRAQ

n/t

[Adsos Letter]

11. Yeah...that is the really sad part...

so much has been changed and so many people have suffered because of this guy's...worldview, for lack of a better term....

[Adsos Letter]

10. There is much wisdom in that, oh Warpified one...

It's the best reason for allowing kids to make mistakes (up to a certain point)

[stillrockin]

2. yeah, he is un freakin believable.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Bush has NO EMPATHY...Period...a shallow man who is brain damaged beyond repair

He is the Best of the GOPers.....

[kentuck]

4. In history, reminds us of the Hoover quote on the economy.

When Hoover said if people would just wait a year or two, the economy would get better. To which Harry Hopkins replied, "People don't eat every year or two - they eat every day."

[thunder rising]

5. Bush has no clue how to identify with tragedy: at least he didn't say looks like you folks will be

liven in the summer houses for a while.

He has no clue what it would be like to loose everything in one night.

[Postman]

12. They is good hard-workin', prayin' folks.....a, hello? Wasn't it GOD who sent the tornado?

Or was it that liberal DEVIL?

Either way, pray you get help from someone.

[spanone]

7. he's incapable of compassion...a phony

[SoCalDem]

9. and then he gives them an 800 number to call

:puke:

[Sugar Smack]

13. Here's my BACKDROP DESIGN for his "Tornado Victims" press conference:

:grr: :nuke:

[devilgrrl]

14. He told mid-westerners that having to work 3 jobs to make ends meet was uniquely American....

and they cheerful ate that shit sandwich right up. What else is new?

[Sugar Smack]

15. Or, "How do you know he would have had a good life?" when confronted

by the woman whose son was killed in Iraq.

[karlrschneider]

17. "Don't sell this on Ebay..."

:grr: :puke:

[Sugar Smack]

23. Wait, what was that from? I'm not looking to raise my BP any higher

but I want to know. What was he talking about?

[karlrschneider]

24. I forget the details, will have to research to be sure but it was something about a

"presidential coin" trinket given to an injured troop, I -think-...

[Sugar Smack]

26. AUGH- I found it on Sheila Samples's website-

"Bush is truly his mother's son -- shallow, unfeeling, incapable of compassion. In a recent meeting with five families of slain soldiers, one mother, Elaine Johnson, asked him why we were in Iraq. Bush could not answer that, nor could he explain what we were fighting for. But he did toss each of them a presidential coin and quipped, 'Don’t go sell it on eBay.'"

[karlrschneider]

27. That's it. I don't think any further comment is necessary.

:grr: :mad:

[Adsos Letter]

18. He said that?!

[Sugar Smack]

20. Yes, he FREAKING did. I'm going to try and dig up the thread.

It was seriously disgraceful and inhuman, to say the least.

By the way, thanks for what you said in the lounge. It meant a lot to me! :)

BRB!

21. HERE it is, the article & link the story came from:

By Jeff Norman
August 11, 2005
Cindy Sheehan is not the only Gold Star mom who felt disrespected after a visit with George W. Bush. Dolores Kesterson, whose son Erik was killed in Iraq in November of 2003, was among several military families who last year were invited to meet with Bush as a group. Each family was allotted ten minutes with the president, but because she is divorced from her husband, Dolores asked to speak with Bush one-on-one.

Dolores reports exclusively for U.S. Tour of Duty that she waited alone in a small partitioned area, wondering if her request would be granted, before a Bush aide suddenly announced, "The president will now see you." As the commander in chief strode briskly toward her, it seemed to Dolores that he was trying to intimidate her. "He came marching in and got right in my face...eyeball to eyeball, and said, 'I'm George Bush, the president of the United States, and I understand you have something to say to me in private.'"

Dolores tried to give Bush a sense of what type of person Erik had been. She described her son as a "comedian" whose favorite saying was, "Life is good." The president replied, "How do you know his life would have been good?"

Dolores was shocked by Bush's eagerness to question the value of her son's life. She told the president, "Nobody wants to die."

Before he concluded their meeting, Bush proclaimed to Dolores, "We won't know in our lifetime whether or not Iraq was a success."

I'm spitting nails about now.

[Adsos Letter]

22. Thanks, Sugar Smack...

and glad to be of service the other day... :hi:

[PDJane]

16. That man's an embarassment..........

and a complete waste of a carbon footprint.

[Sugar Smack]

25. Embarrassing-

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein"

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/05/20040525-3.html

"thankful that there are instructors and preachers and volunteers who are helping these people get back on their feet and getting their lives together."

From same speech: "Our country is inspired by Americans that we find in facilities like this. Christian Bagge is a guy I met over here at the hospital. I'll never forget looking at Christian's eyes, and wondering whether or not he was going to make it. See, both his legs were blown off, and he didn't look good."

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/11/20071108-8.html

What a freaking DOOOOORRRRRKK!

[kentuck]

19. He doesn't believe government should have a role in tragedies...

Life is not fair. No it is not. He is living proof.

[Sugar Smack]

28. He might just as well have said "fuck off and die".

:nuke: That's the translation I get from all that salt-of the-earth you-folks come-together and help each other and make the place better than before. Echoes of Katrina, doubtless.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

29. Despise is becoming too soft a verb for the emotion this a-hole arouses.

I hope he suffers the pain and agony of all those he has abused in his own eternal hell.
