[Junkdrawer]

1. My God, RatBastard looks like him now ...

Two peas (pees?) in a pod ... ICK.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

3. Naw, not so much

It's the close-set, squinty eyes. Fuckface looks just like his mother, which is enough to make anyone braindead.

[LSparkle]

10. And worse, he THINKS like her too

"These people were disadvantaged to begin with ... so this is
working out very well for them."

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. Lest we forget:

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

[Trajan]

2. Laughs ....

Thanks for the heads up: Now I know what I WONT be watching ....

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. 9 pm on Fox Network

"House," the best show on network TV.

[evlbstrd]

5. Seconded.

Almost. Boston Legal is right up there.
Too bad they're on Fox and ABC.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. Can you believe it?

I lament that, as well, but they're my Number 1 and Number 2 favorite shows. Gray's Anatomy comes in a distant third.

What the hell, I take money from Rupert Murdoch (he owns the publisher I write for).

<shrug>

[evlbstrd]

25. Don't feel bad about taking their money.

I work in advertising. I now admit, at work, that I hate advertising. It's very liberating and I still haven't been fired.

[tbyg52]

16. I'll go to ABC for Boston Legal

I still don't know how they stay on the air (the Smothers Brothers got kicked off for a lot less), but I'm glad they do.

[evlbstrd]

26. They're a lonely voice in that vast wasteland.

[blm]

6. Calculated rehabilitation. Throughout 2003-2004 CNN put Bush1 lovefest 'Flyboy' in heavy rotation

all throughout the election. Ever see a news network do an HONEST BIO and call it "Fascist Lieboy" - I am sure Bill Clinton dancing attendance on Poppy Bush helped to rehab ol Poppy, too. Funny how Bill worships Poppy and had no interest in lifting Carter and his legacy, eh?

[LSparkle]

12. Oh, including that fawning interview with Paula "Legs" Zahn ...

Poppy drooling all over her ... Sickening ...

[blm]

18. Calculated to keep the name Bush seen as a war hero - the truth though was that Poppy bailed

and let those in the plane die without even giving them a chance to bail - only caring about saving his own ass.

A gunner on a plane flying with them saw it all happen and reported it - the report went missing many years later.

[tbyg52]

7. Yuck. And a thread about a roach dropping on a shoulder

was posted at the exact same time....

[Junkdrawer]

9. Gross...and the cockroach prolly wasn't fun either...

:evilgrin:

[Sal Minella]

19. Actually the cockroach story was a LOT easier to take than this one imo...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. Are they going to talk about his drunk driving auto accident?

I'm talking about the accident that Nancy Reagan mentioned to Kitty Kelley in her biography. According to Nancy Reagan, Poppy Bush had an auto accident in Washington while driving drunk with a woman in his car who was not his wife. Ronnie Raygun supposedly intervened and hushed it up with the Washington police, after which he and Nancy had a good laugh.

[peekaloo]

20. Jennifer Fitzgerald

the media never truly pursued his extra marital affairs

may be because


the thought of Poopy doing the nasty makes me :puke:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

14. Shouldn't be on "American Experience"

Should be on "American Nightmare".

[Olney Blue]

15. Something went terribly wrong with this gene pool.

[cloudbase]

17. Because even Babs won't do him these days. n/t

[Junkdrawer]

21. Checking in for glimpses - Saccharin to the max...

:puke:

[Breeze54]

22. Glad I missed the puke fest!

"The deification" of Raygu? :wtf:

That's a joke, right? I think that question should be posed on FR!

If anyone on DU thinks Raygun is gawd-like, they should be stoned!!

[no_hypocrisy]

23. This is an effin' love song to GHW Bush.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

24. absolutely putrid.

Gee, I wonder why PBS doesn't call them the "Bush Family Evil Empire" like Bartcop and Mike Malloy do???????

:sarcasm:
