Birmingham, Ala. news today: "BUSH WILL GO ON WITH HIS LIFE"

[Bluebear]

PASS IT ON!!!! To EVERYONE! Nothing illustrates how this monster has no soul than to listen to his own words!


CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush, noting that lots of people want to talk to the president and "it's also important for me to go on with my life," on Saturday defended his decision not to meet with the grieving mom of a soldier killed in Iraq.

Bush said he is aware of the anti-war sentiments of Cindy Sheehan and others who have joined her protest near the Bush ranch.

"But whether it be here or in Washington or anywhere else, there's somebody who has got something to say to the president, that's part of the job," Bush said on the ranch. "And I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say. But," he added, "I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."

The comments came prior to a bike ride on the ranch with journalists and aides.

1. and Nero fiddled

while Rome burned.

Progress? You be the judge. :grr:

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Yet, over 1800 US Troops can no longer

get on with their lives because of his lies.

[rfranklin]

3. In other words, "Fuck 'em!"

Another "beautiful mind" statement from another Bush asshole.

[Bluebear]

4. ExACTly. n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

5. He used the term balance and went bike riding?

Note to SS Agents and the Crawford Police: Hide in the trees.

[Bluebear]

6. Oh, you!

You keep me laughing. Good thing or I would be crying 24/7. What a mess.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

18. I will go insane on my own terms, not his, tyvm

;)

[Missy M]

7. I'm sure Casey Sheehan and all the other soldiers killed in Iraq...

would love to go on with their life and keep it balanced. bush is totally immoral and demented. I don't think bush has an intelligent thought in his obviously empty head. How is this person President of the US?????

[evilqueen]

8. two possibilities

1. The morAns elected him.
2. The election was a fraud.

[BeFree]

12. And one reality

The election in 2000 was stolen and we've been told to get over it.

The son of a bitch should have never been allowed to squat the White House for one day.

[Missy M]

14. Actually, I think it was both of the above possiblities!!!

[Hubert Flottz]

9. In other words...

"Jimmy Cracked Corn And He DON'T CARE!"

I think they're all on drugs!

[knitter4democracy]

10. Apparently he's forgotten where his money comes from.

Those people who ask to talk with him pay his bills. We're the ones paying for the cool jet, the neato helicopter, and the kick-ass armored limo. It's not his house--it's our house that he lives in much of the year.

If he wants to go on with his life, he can leave the presidency.

[evilqueen]

13. Not so fast

He has to put the budget back where it was when he first took office, in a surplus. And since he's such a morAn, he'd better get some smart-thinkin' book-larned folks to help him do that.


Or... we just seize all the cabal's assets and that of the corporations that helped them do all this, and then impeach the whole lot of them.

[knitter4democracy]

30. I'm all for that!

We are due for another revolution to bring us back to the better principals of the first one.

[latebloomer]

11. balanced life, huh?

One percent work.

Ninety-nine percent exercising, cutting brush, relaxing, drinking Jim Beam and making insensitive comments like a brainless ninny.

[NoPasaran]

15. I think that headline has a typo in it

It should read "BUSH WILL GO ON WITH HIS LIE"

Oh well. Nothing anyone should concern their beautiful mind about.

[freeplessinseattle]

17. heh heh, good one n/t

[Bluebear]

37. Good one indeed! nt

[nookiemonster]

16. Uh, ok George. So what you're basically trying to say is

eom

[Loki]

19. Flashback........July 4, 2001 from our compassionate conservative pres.

"Who cares what you think?"


That's what President Bush shot back at me when I told him what I thought of his performance. As November approaches, I have to thank him for pointing me toward exactly the right question.


By Bill Hangley Jr.

March 19, 2004

It has been almost three years since I spoke with the president of the United States, and I still get mail about it.

It was July 4, 2001, and we were both at one of those things that the late historian Daniel Boorstin would have labeled a "pseudo-event:" A church picnic in Philadelphia, designed to help George W. Bush promote his faith-based policies. I was working at the time for a local nonprofit that had helped set it up, but I had some serious misgivings about the president's performance up to that point, and being a part of the whole operation had left me feeling a bit like a pseudo-person. So when I had the chance to shake Bush's hand, I said, "Mr. President, I'm very disappointed in your work so far. I hope you only serve four years."

His smiling response was swift: "Who cares what you think?"

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

That first small glimpse into the mind of George Bush has now widened into a gaping dark abyss - a moral vacuum. No wishing for understanding or compassion from this man will make it so. He is incapable of it.

[LibDemAlways]

20. "It's also important for me to go on with my life" is

a statement reserved for someone who's been through a significant emotional event -- perhaps a serious illness, or the break-up of a marriage, or a death in the family. It sounds assinine coming from the lips of a "moran" who is merely trying to justify avoiding a grieving mother whose son's death he is responsible for.

[FourStarDemocrat]

53. I concur... it sounds bizarre. nt

[wicket]

21. HEARTLESS BASTARD!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[DistressedAmerican]

22. I Spit At You Mr. Bush. You Are A Pig.

Go on with your life ass. I'll be standing with those that DEMAND that you account for yourself and your actions! It is long overdue.

[Bluebear]

49. ptooey!

[Independent_Liberal]

23. Yeah, he'll go on with his life...

He'll be spending the rest of it in prison.

:)

[tnlefty]

24. "And part of my being is to be outside exercising." Tough schedule

on Sat., too. How in the hell do so many people still think that he's a "nice guy" or compassionate? He continually demonstrates that he's nothing more than a self absorbed, spoiled brat.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. They're bush zombies.

:shrug: Honestly, it's mind boggling!

[wildwww2]

25. Go on with his life of dishing out death for the "haves and have mores"

to rake in big piles of money soaked with the blood of "US service members". Now that sounds more like the balanced truth to me.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[mondo joe]

26. Funny so many "Christians" are loyal to this Pontius Pilate while a mother

stands a lonely vigil for her son as Mary did at Jesus' execution.

[fla nocount]

27. Sounds like something his handlers have beaten into his psyche

so that he can live with his actions day to day. It has a certain "beautiful mind" ring to it.

[Just Me]

28. God, I just cannot stand that prick.

He doesn't possess a compassionate cell in his entire being.

[gratuitous]

29. Oh, his heart will go on!

Doesn't that make you feel all Celine Dion-ish and Titanic-ful? George W. Bush, in the face of so much death and misery that he is personally responsible for, will . . . will . . . GO ON! Praise Jebus! Where does he find the strength of character simply to ignore the logical consequences of his reckless actions, pick up and forge ahead as if nothing untoward has happened?

Answer: A lifetime of practice.

[BiggJawn]

32. Casey would have liked to have "gone on" with HIS life, too.

But SHRUBBYA, now...Well!

Oh, but 51% of Murka liked him, wants to have a beer with, think "Hey, he's kinda DUMB, jes' laik ME!"

[Danmel]

33. He is a narcissist and a sociopath......

nothing new about his conduct. He is devoid of feeling or conscience.

[WLKjr]

34. Just sent it to my local Democratic Party email list

[Bluebear]

44. Thank you WLKjr!

[ignatius 2]

35. He sure managed to go meet his rich donors at a fund raising

bar-bee-q..what a total arrogant ass wipe, not even enough soul to be called human,he seems to be a walking dead ghoul.

[Rose Siding]

36. Calling Karen Hughes....Karl? Anyone?

Heh heh...I think I've stepped in it again



What a DEVASTATING lack of compassion.

[walldude]

38. Kicked and recommended

C'mon people we need to get this on the front page...

Great post Bear... :toast:

[dogday]

39. And Cindy wishes Casey could of gone on with his life nt

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

40. We should all be so balanced as to take 50 vacations in 5 years

[K8-EEE]

41. OMG He's Like The Movie "The Bad Seed"

He really is a monster. He would probably be surprised that anybody would be appalled at that statement. No compassion whatsoever, of course, his "base" are comprised of the same sad genetic mutations.

[Cocoa]

42. Bush to Sheehan: have a nice life

:mad:

[BamaLefty]

43. Damn, I'm So Sick Of Representing This State On Here

The Birmingham News is a very conservative paper.

Yet again... :cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

45. *hug* Would you like to be an honorary Mainah?? But really, bless you for

being a light in that wilderness down there. :)

[BamaLefty]

46. Oh God yes,

Maine sounds nice. But seriously, I live in a county that gave Bush +75%. It is awful. Sickening love affair with Bush. . .

[GreenPartyVoter]

47. Consider yourself a displaced Mainah, then. *s* I can kinda imagine

how things are for you. I live in a politically mixed area, but I married into a conservative evangelical family and go to church with them, so I get to spend a lot of time feeling alone in a crowd too. :hug:

[rodeodance]

48. the headling tweets his words a bit--but hey.......

[BamaLefty]

54. So, Can I Call You "Mom?"

:P

[BamaLefty]

50. Well,

I was told tonight at my fundy church that Maine was #2 in the nation in percentage of homosexuals. Therefore, MAINERS ARE GOING TO HELL! :eyes:

A guy had gone on a mission trip to Maine. He said good things about your state (which is probably much better off than Alabama) but he also played up the stereotype of a Yankee. Sectionalism. Doesn't it suck?

[QC]

51. What in the hell brought that on?

The article is a newswire piece and hardly sympathetic to Bush.

Please don't turn into Howell Raines Jr.

[Wizard777]

52. Because he is not in Iraq. He can do that. It must be nice.

The Arrogance meter just went nuklar and exploded!
