Bush blames Laura for dropping dog on tarmac (Barney)!

[LittleApple81]

I think there is a story here, that family-values Americans might pay more attention to than the treasonous leaks.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/03/bush.poem.ap/index.html

Bush’s poem:


Roses are red
Violets are blue
Oh my, lump in the bed *
How I've missed you.

Roses are redder
Bluer am I
Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy.

The dogs and the cat, they missed you too
Barney's still mad you dropped him , he ate your shoe
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier
Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier. **

*Note: Bush sometimes refers to his wife as a lump in the bed.
**Barney the dog had a tumble when Mrs. Bush was handing him to her husband on a tarmac.
And here is the picture



There is another link about the poem in DU:

1. I saw that!

Outrageous! It was clearly Dubya who dropped the dog! Or missed the handoff, in any case. Poor Barney, he's the real victim... :)

[Syrinx]

2. That man can't accept responsibility for anything!

[madmax]

3. Free Barney!!!

From, Max :)

4. "Barney's still mad *you* dropped him, he ate your shoe"

-- pResident Bush, along with first lady, Laura Bush, and members of the Waco Midway Little League Softball World Series championship team, react as Bush accidentally drops his dog, Barney, Saturday, Aug. 30, 2003, at TSTC Airfield in Waco, Texas. Bush quickly scooped up the dog who was not injured.

…
"Roses are redder/Bluer am I/Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy."

And then the finale:

"The dogs and the cat, they missed you too/Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe/The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier/Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier."

5. Laura would have had to THROW Barney from where she's standing!

And look at the distance between Barney and Bush. I think Georgie flung him away after being scratched or nipped.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

6. That's the most bizarre thing I've ever read

Why is the world is Laura Bush reading this in public?

[LittleApple81]

7. Beats the.... out of me. I would burn the poem if I were her. n/t

[LittleApple81]

8. I saw another post about BLAMING THE VICTIM referring to

Iraq. I think Laura is in the same situation right now. But she is a WILLING VICTIM (an enabler?)

[Karenina]

17. Like Maria?

:shrug:

[jab105]

9. OH MY GOSH!!

I saw the link on LBN and I didn't follow it...but seriously, I thought that the poem was a joke...I thought someone on DU wrote it to make fun of W...I cant believe thats what he wrote...about the carrier...Oh my gosh!!

[Bandit]

10. Very telling about how he thinks of his wife "that lump in the bed"

Maybe we should start referring to her that way instead of Pickles. He is one sick son of a bitch.

[karlschneider]

11. Let's not forget, * used to blow up frogs with firecrackers.

The man is a sociopathic evil prick.
:grr:

[LittleApple81]

12. Amazing all the facts that come out about how horrible this person is.

He is a petard in the rear end of humanity.

[LittleApple81]

13. did he confess about this also? I have never read a direct

quote from Bush* on the frog case.

[Fridays Child]

14. Barney CHOSE to hit the tarmac.

When he realized that he was being passed off to the spawn of Satan, Barney decided to scramble out of his grasp and take his chances with the concrete. That sweet little dog despises the chimp with every furry little fiber of his being.

Whoever said that children and dogs are the best judges of character knew what (s)he was talking about.

[rasputin1952]

15. So, this little ditty will be seen by future generations...

in the National Archives or the GWBush Library?!

Here is a man with a "gentleman's 'C'" MBA degree that must have missed an awful lot of English classes. That is really poor poetry, sheesh.

[Fridays Child]

16. Yes, it will be right next to his favorite coloring books.

:bounce:

18. The most disgusting thing in that article is:

"A good book is like an unreachable itch; you just can't leave it alone," she said at the Library of Congress


:puke:

good lord, and I was having such a good evening until I had a mental picture of Pickles "unreachable itches".


Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[dwmcqueen]

19. Well...

If Mrs. Bush is saying that Georgie is a "great leader" as well as a poet...and we just saw the quality of his poetry...what does it say about his "great leader"

[Snellius]

20. Poor, Laura. Is this a kind of cry for help?

As if to say, look what I have to put up with.

I think Laura absolutely adored being kissed on the hand by a gentleman from France, in beautiful palaces with elegant, sophisticated, literate, intelligent, open-minded society who actually know how to dine without falling off the couch and choking on a pretzel. A far cry from eating tacos in Texas with the Cheneys while George practices how to say "nucular" and picks his nose.

[LittleApple81]

21. Thanks for this one Snellius. You are correct.

But maybe with all the Bush money, she has a chance to see other people who are not as crass. I cannot believe that Bush Pere is as uncouth as Bush fils.

[Snellius]

23. Maybe not Pere. But Mere is a real merde

And that other word that rhymes with rich.

[LittleApple81]

24. You are funny! Thanks for that one! n/t

[spanone]

22. I saw that in his poem. This man is in denial. One sicko

lump in my bed. Jesus.

[madrchsod]

25. jesus, i thought this

was an onion bit!!!god it`s for real!

[Ilsa]

26. The freepers think he's a genius.

But some think it's so bad that it's an internet fraud perpetrated by a DU'er.

[snippy]

31. His intellect would be way above average on kreeprepublic.

[FubarFly]

27. You know what this reminds me of?

I'm picturing shrubya and pickles in a remake of the Shining,
with shrubya waving his little finger around and whispering, "Maddas!",
and then chasing pickles through the WH with an axe, holding the wrong side up. He eventually freezes to death because he can't find his way out of the Rose Garden.

Truly disturbing. ;-)

[retyred]

28. Does anyone else

see this as an assinine attempt by flightsuit to align himself with RayGun's letters to mommy?

What a fucking moran.

29. That is what was pointed out in another thread.

If that was what he intended, that is really depressing. What an awful result.

[blkgrl]

30. Are we to believe that Bush actually wrote that poem

I don't think so. As corny as the poem is, I doubt Bush is capable of stringing rhyming words together like that.

[snippy]

32. I am surprised that he didn't blame the CIA for dropping the dog.

[qanda]

33. Well, Mike Allen from the Washington Post

Enjoyed the poem. He gushed all over himself this morning as he talked about it. Then he defended * at every turn. :puke:
