Revisiting History -- Bush and his pretzel

[The Backlash Cometh]

Poll question: Revisiting History -- Bush and his pretzel

In January 2002, three months after 9/11, it was reported that George Bush had choked on a pretzel, passed out and hit his face when he fell. I believe they also said he was unconscious for a while.

Now, assume that the major players of the Administration knew now, what we are all figuring out today. That the elections were rigged, that this Administration came into office ready to pick a fight with Iraq and that they did nothing when the intelligence agencies were picking up chatter prior to 9/11 warning that we were going to be attacked. In lieu of all this information, are you still ready to bite the pretzel story? Or did Bush come in contact with a knuckle sandwich, and if he did, whose knuckle sandwich?


<On a side note, did we ever get a list of names to determine who was visiting the White House that night?>

1. It wasn't a pretzel...

You're choking on a pretzel and probably would run out of the room for help, push the emergency button etc. You would not stand choking until you pass out and conveniently hit your face on a table. The shape of the wound is round. Something hit him hard there, probably pickles wielding some round object when she found out about sleeza (my husb....., uh, the president). How do you think pickles reacted when she heard sleeza say that?

2. Had a drunken brawl with one or both of his daughters.

3. Thugs keep thugs in line with fists.

I believed it was a punch from a thug from day one.
Bush is a wimp.
He needed some courage of the roundhouse type and Cheney was the one to deliver.

5. Now that people in his inner circles are talking, I expect to find out

definitively what happened before too long.

4. Still looks like rugburn. I say ol' drunky fall down go boom.

Of course, my mom sez this was after a meeting with Israelis, and it was back when he was kind of cool towards Israel. After the pretzel, he got right in line with the marching orders.

6. Other.

I've never known anyone to be floored by a pretzel. But Bushies good ol' friend, Jim Beam, has put quite a few out for the count.
