"About that excuse for not meeting with Cindy Sheehan..."

George Bush has claimed repeatedly that he doesn't need to meet with Cindy Sheehan because he has already met with her, and it's a line that his supporters repeat frequently as well. Just one little itty bitty problem. Today, trying to counter Sheehan's influence while in Idaho, Bush met with Dawn Rowe (as seen and interviewed on CNN; doesn't appear to be online at the moment). Rowe's husband was killed in Iraq, and this was the second time Bush has met with her. Want to meet with George Bush? All you have to do is to agree with him. Anyone else? Go stand in the street. Or a ditch. Preferably a long way away.


Bush's meeting with Rowe occured in private; in public, he was promoting Tammy Pruett,.....

Second update: An Idaho paper is now the one and only place I can find a written record of Rowe's meeting with Bush. And in a second article from that paper, we learn why Rowe made the trip from California to meet with Bush - it's because she was mad that her sister-in-law (the dead Marine's sister) had attended a peace vigil protesting the war! Here's more about Diana Rowe Pauls and the Cindy Sheehan connection:....MORE....

1. bush** only likes to surround himself with people who agree with him

If you don't say what he wants to hear you either won't be around much longer or you will never be granted an audience.

Not that he's insecure or anything.

2. He really stepped on his own nuts, this time. Now, if only...

...the MSM would run with the story.

3. Yes, Bush met with Rowe Twice

It was in the local papers and on CNN briefly. CNN pointed out that it negated W's talking point that he's already met with Cindy once and that's all the time he has for the families of the dead in his war.

You're right. W will not listen to anyone who doesn't think as he does. Remember, he's never wrong and never makes mistakes.

5. Arrogant Peeps always think they will get bailed out somehow....

Bush is no diff.....

He thinks like a spoiled child does....ME, ME, ME..its always ME.

Rove foisted this dude on us.

It was he that thought making Bush a macho image...get yerself a ranch

get married, raise kids.

get elected Gov....don't worry, we will get Richards outta the way

But now, years later....the price to pay is a peeling away off the facade of this Machismo shit...layer by layer...the Bush is revealed to be not Macho..but instead a yellow bellied coward.

He is not a real man....Rove has made him what he is...a PUPPET

and now he won't meet with Cindy...because he is afraid of HER..

BUSH IS AFRAID OF A PISSED OFF MOTHER WHO LOST HER SON IN HIS WAR....

6. Yes, if you've slugged down the

koolaid and I mean really Slugged it down..you don't want anyone else to have any thoughts if they're not like yours.

"it's because she was mad that her sister-in-law (the dead Marine's sister) had attended a peace vigil protesting the war!"

7. JFK never would have disgraced himself like Shrub. He'd meet Cindy.

Then again, JFK never would have invaded Iraq. He would have captured Bin Laden, et. al. years ago.
