Bush: Kanye Criticism Was 'Lowest Point'

This was really the lowest moment of President George W. Bush’s time in office?

In an excerpt from Matt Lauer’s pretaped interview that will air on Monday, Bush said among the most “disgusting” moments of his presidency was when rapper Kanye West said the former president “did not care about black people.” “I resent it, it’s not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency.”

In his upcoming memoir, Decision Points, Bush writes that he can’t think of that moment – only days after hundreds of New Orleans residents died in the wake of Hurricane Katrina – “without feeling disgust” and it outranks all the criticism people levied against him about his financial policies or even the Iraq War. After pressing by Lauer, Bush agreed “the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well.” According to NBC, Bush also reveals White House bio-detectors indicated a potential botulism attack, and officials went so far as to test the air on lab mice.

1. The lowest moment of the Bush "presidency"
was the moment Bush V. Gore was decided.
The second worst moment was the supposed re-election of this pretender.
I will never accept the legitimacy of these two "elections."

3. Oh, I am so happy he let that get to him. It's nice to think he might be inwardly tortured by...
...the resonating jeers from humanity, which will haunt his and his family's name well into the coming decades.

7. If it bothered him so much
Maybe he should have thought about actually helping New Orleans, or even just telling his mommy to STFU when she said it had "worked out wonderfully" to clean up the city.

9. He never responded to that, did he?
So he felt "disgusted" by Kanye's comments. Did he ever feel the need to... like, EXPLAIN his actions?

No, of course not.

10. Bush at the unveiling ceremony of a MLK Jr portrait:
"Thanks for the portrait. I can't wait to hang it." (with a big smirk on his face.)

"Not true" my ass.
