Bush Fantasizes About Blowing Up Clinton Library & Rove Tells Truth

[kpete]

President Bush once daydreamed about blasting Bill Clinton's presidential library to smithereens, according to a new book.

In "How Bush Rules: Chronicles of a Radical Regime," former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal recounts a November 2004 visit by Bush and his political guru Karl Rove to the William J. Clinton Library in Little Rock, Ark., on the banks of the Arkansas River.

"Bush appeared distracted and glanced repeatedly at his watch," Blumenthal writes about a presidential tour during the library's dedication. "When he stopped to gaze at the river, where Secret Service agents were stationed in boats, the guide said: 'Usually, you might see some bass fishermen out there.' Bush replied: 'A submarine could take this place out.'"

.................................
and from Rove:

"'You're not such a scary guy,' joked his guide. 'Yes, I am,' Rove replied. Walking away, he muttered deliberately and loudly: 'I change constitutions, I put churches in schools.'"


Amen to that.

1. Oh Karl, you're so modest

:sarcasm:

[ERF]

2. Bush' comment was typically childish. He probably plays

with toy weapons in his bathtub.

Rove's comment would have to be characterized more as sarcasm based on his media caricature. Of course, it doesn't mean it isn't the truth.

28. media caricature?

i don't think that's a caricature.

[journalist3072]

3. Sometimes I'm still amazed at just how truly SICK these people are

At Clinton's library dedication, all Bushie could think about was a submarine taking the place out?

OK, who's with me on this one: we need to add an amendment to the Constitution that ANYONE running for President MUST be referred to a mental health provider for an examination. We don't need people THIS bat shit crazy carrying the nuclear football and having the codes.

[TheFriedPiper]

5. We need to stop having holy rollers as leaders, period.

It's hard to fathom why insanity is deemed ok as long as it's religious insanity.

[spanone]

7. That's one sick mind....not bright....sick.

[druidity33]

30. and random piss-tests! nt

[Senator]

4. But unlike RNC talking points, this is not "News" because of the "agenda"

Watch our Euphemedia jump all over this like rats on a sinking ship.

6. I remember the submarine quote at the time

but I took it to mean Bush was worried about his ass and somebody trying to kill HIM...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

10. Yes, that was the way the article I read presented it.

In fact he said that terrorists could bring in a submarine and blow the place up. That was also the same day he elbowed Clinton out of the way to get through the door first. Probably on something that day that made him paranoid. And not the type of guy who would lay down his life for another. :rofl:

[momster]

31. He's always pushing to be first....

Even in the pictures of him with his father, when respect, courtesy and kindness would indicate that a son lets his father lead, Bush the younger is always walking first, going through the door first, taking the lead. Don't get in the way of the BMOC seems to be his entire reason for breathing.

17. He knows the terra doesn't own submarines. It wasn't that.

[DemonFighterLives]

8. What a pair of dorks!

Little brain and ""big"" brain don't have enough between the 2 of them.
dubby could carry a liquid bomb in his headspace.
Arrest them.

9. Is This The Same Trip W/ That Pic Where Chimpy Tried To Elbow His Way Past

Clinton to be first out the door?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

11. Yes. See #10

[bdamomma]

12. we are dealing with madmen here, true madmen.

[originalpckelly]

13. "I change constitutions, I put churches in schools."

Is that a joke? If it isn't, it is a frightening thing to read. (Well, it wouldn't be the end of the world if churches were in schools, I'm more worried about the constitution bit.)

[democrank]

14. Bush likes to blow things up.

frogs
Clinton`s library
countries

[Joanne98]

15. 'I change constitutions, I put churches in schools.'"

I take that as a confession that the religious right is deliberately destroying the constitution.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. As far as Bush's remarks, most adults realize that there are some

things that you just don't say out loud, even if you think them. This demonstrates Bush's lack of self disipline, manners, tact, you name it. He is not a rational or reasonable person.

[rhiannon55]

18. Me first! I'm the leader!

This pic from the Clinton Presidential Library dedication says it all:

[mitchum]

26. Here's hoping that loathsome piece of shit Rove suffers the exact...

same fate as his mentor Lee Atwater...VERY SOON
He really is a despicable motherfucker

[Rainscents]

27. Just like he use to blow up frogs?

This man is sick.

[ComerPerro]
