Shrub playing Sympathy card!

[thefloyd]

I can sense the mood change by shrub is another attempt by Rove to reset the Bush image. Do not fall for it. Several shills for the right are starting to say "Man he has been through a lot". The sympathy card is about to be dealt. Start telling the blogosphere.

1. We should always be on the alert to counter with...

"Not compared to what he's put US through."

[thefloyd]

7. Kind of Response people should utilize

[hardrainfallin]

12. took the words right outta my mouth! nt

[thefloyd]

16. How

about US spelled U.S.? Oh how witty am I

[tulsakatz]

2. he has?

He just got finished with a 5 week vacation!!!!

I don't know about any of you guys but I don't get 5 weeks of vacation every year.....

And if they want to talk about someone who has been through a lot, just talk to any former resident of New Orleans!!! Now those people have been through a LOT!!

3. Bill Hicks: "Welcome to No Sympathy Night"

Welcome to "You're Wrong" Night.

[Fla Dem]

4. Unfortuantely, like most fools, he's brought a lot of the crap on himself.

[thefloyd]

9. Totally agree

Bush is sleeping in the bed HE created the last 5 years

[seabeyond]

5. they did it with 9/11. do it with war. disgusting. pray for bush

he isnt dying in the towers, he isnt dying on battlefield or any of his loved ones.

6. Many Americans don't appear to be in the forgiving mood lately

Hope that trend keeps up.

10. I agree

However things can always change. Better to snip the latest Rove act in the but

[Straight Shooter]

8. I'll feel sorry for him when one of his daughter gives her life in Iraq.

Then there will be a human connection to feel sorry for. OTOH, he and Rove will exploit it, and that will stop the sympathy right then and there.

I'm reminded of that scene in Thelma and Louise where the detective takes his hat and beats the Brad Pitt character on the head and then says, "I've got no feeling for you, boy!"

That's how I regard george w. bush. No feeling for him whatsoever. He hasn't even begun to taste the medicine that life should be giving him the way he's forced it down everyone else's throat.

[thefloyd]

13. I totally agree

My father (vietnam vet) said the Bush daughters should pick up a gun

[Bluerthanblue]

21. while I clearly understand your fathers

view, and to a large degree share it, those girls didn't ask to have him for their father-

What they do as individuals is what we should 'judge' them on-
Speaking as one, who has been judged by the actions of others I had absolutely NO control over- but was victim to- I can't help but feel for them- Whatever benefits they might have as daughters of this man, aren't worth shit- when you weigh that against knowing HE is your .... father?????

that is a curse I'd never wish to be under-

As for bush- I pity him- he's a weak, scared, deluded little man who has done more harm to more people and this earth than any other person in my lifetime- and I can only thank all that is 'good' that I do not live in his shell- ... honestly... can you really imagine BEING him????-
I'd off myself faster than I can type this......

pity the fool- and the children they produce-

11. WAAAAHHHHHHH! He's the fucking president!

"Of course he's been through a lot! Did he really believe Poppy's buddies when they told him all he'd have to do was ride his bike and swill Hamm's for eight years? Fucking pussy.

[thefloyd]

14. Total fucking pussy

As my father says "typical rich kid....will not take responsibility for anything" However I am sure there are people in America who will start feeling sympathy

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

15. The only pity I feel is self-pity

for me and my country and my world because he is my appointed presidential interloper. If things get too tough for him, he is welcome to resign his office and bicycle off into the distance.

[DemsUnited]

17. Sympathy? I have a TON of sympathy.

For Mayor Nagin, working night and day to keep New Orleans alive despite severe Rita setbacks. For Governor Blanco who has seen virtually her ENTIRE STATE affected by back to back catastrophic storms (has there been any other Governor who has ever had to deal with so much at one time???) For all of Lousisiana--small and depressed to begin with--who has had to cope with so much.

Sympathy for Bush? Not EVEN when hell freezes over.

[agingdem]

18. Oh puleeeze...

he hasn't been through jack-shit!

[VolcanoJen]

19. You should hear some of the asshats I work with.

They're buying that hook, line and sinker.

"The poor president... he's so unlucky! Everything happens to him!"

Bush, The Presidential Victim. :eyes:

And this one, I love this one:

"It's his advisor's fault, he just wasn't getting told the right things. You can't blame that on the President."

:eyes:

[Mr_Spock]

20. So now Bush is a whining puss?

OK - so let it be so :D

We already know he's a drunken coward anyway...

[LordshipLadyship]

22. poor President

It's hard work. I suggest you retire, effective immediately and clear brush. Then you can take all the vacations you want, little man. Leave leadership to real men and women. Poor poopsie, didn't know responsibility came with the oval office, huh? Awwwwww. Yeah, ain't it a shame, but that's what leaders do, accept responsibility. Go home, take a scrapbook and your pretty Presidential seal boots, you can even steal the little white house soaps. Buh-bye. This gig didn't work out. You'll feel much better. Quit. We'll sweep up after you. Ciao.

23. "Sympathy for the Devil," indeed

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste...

[SiouxJ]

24. There goes his cowboy image

I'd like to see John Wayne accept sympathy. He's such a phony. Poor little buckaroo.

[tenshi816]

25. "Man he has been through a lot" my shiny white ass.

He knew, or should have known, when he signed up for the job that it was going to be 24/7 and consist of more than photo-ops. Being the top dog in the US government takes a hell of a lot more than that worthless sack of excrement has given it, and I have not one tiny shred of sympathy for the little SOB. Big responsibilities, small man.
