Someone said to me today "I don't think this pirate thing would have happened if Bush was in charge"
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 08:30 PM by Renew Deal
I was getting a haircut today and the news of the Alabama getting to Kenya broke. My hairdresser (barber?), who was a 30's hispanic woman said "Obama talks about peace and all, but if Bush was in charge, this pirate thing wouldn't have happened." She was cutting my hair so I had to measure my response or risk looking like Vanilla Ice.



I pointed out that this pirate stuff has been going on for a couple of years. And the pirates have 240 hostages. And that they've gone after American ships before including a CRUISE SHIP! She said that she didn't know that. Well no shit. You have Fox on the TV. You don't know much of anything. Anyway, I pointed that out and that the US has a long history of chasing pirates. She "understood now." Morans!

3. How did you keep from laughing out loud.
I'd find a new hairdresser. This one is clearly not *all there.* :crazy: I mean, she thought Bush was "in charge." That is just... pure lunacy. :crazy:

6. And 911 wouldn't have happened either, if George W. bUsh had been in charge.
And George W. bUsh would never have totally ignored those 18 government reports warning the levees would fail in NO.

Nope, not if George W. bUsh had been in charge!
