Bush jokes about Death - Just ask Karla Fay Tucker

[dave29]

oh wait, you can't, she's dead. Maybe you could ask Tucker Carlson instead about why he mocked a fellow born again Christian before he allowed her to be executed.

He is also, apparently, the kind of guy who thinks that a condemned woman begging for her life is knee-slappingly hilarious. Carlson recounts asking Bush about his handling of the Karla Faye Tucker episode last year. Tucker, you may recall, was the rehabilitated axe murderess whose faith-based request for clemency Bush chose not to grant despite pleas from Pat Robertson (which paradoxically made him more eager to execute her--the better to distance himself from the religious right). Here's Carlson's recounting of the way Bush mimicked Tucker's eleventh-hour appearance on Larry King Live: "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me."

2. What a Prick.

He has no class. Narcissist. Little spoiled piece of shit rat bastard. I'm looking forward to him getting his karmic payback someday.

Every time I hear this story it makes me want to puke.
