Bush's New, Self-Serving Response To Questions He Can't Answer



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/09/to-questions-he-cant-answ_n_781137.html

WASHINGTON -- George W. Bush, bursting back onto the public scene a little less than two years after he left Washington in disgrace, has come up with the most self-serving answer yet to some of the most persistent questions about the moral and practical failings of his administration: Buy my book!

Bush repeatedly deflected follow-up questions from NBC's Matt Lauer in an interview aired on Monday night, suggesting that more satisfying answers could be found by purchasing his new $35 memoir.

Big surprise: They can't.

After Bush acknowledged that he approved the use of waterboarding -- an interrogation tactic nearly universally considered to be one of the archetypyal forms of torture -- Lauer asked: "Would it be OK for a foreign country to waterboard an American citizen?"

Bush's response: "It's all I ask is that people read the book. And they can reach the same conclusion. If they'd have made the same decision I made or not."

7. Just one idiot f#@k who ruined our country.
And now he'll make millions off of this tome of lies and bullshit. But remember, this is a man who hates interviews and people getting into his psyche. I can only hope that this required book tour of appearances and interviews is sheer torture for him.

8. He came out of hiding, huh? The R's would have lost the 2010 elections if Shrub would go on tv
last month.

I've got $1000 dollars that says they begged him to wait to release this POS he calls a book.
What's the name of it anyway, "Not My Fault, Fuck You"?

9. That's because he doesn't have a fucking clue what is IN the book - he couldnt' have written it.
That would require big words, you know, things with more than six letters.
