Does George H.W. Bush suffer from amnesia?

[rfranklin]

Poll question: Does George H.W. Bush suffer from amnesia?

Virtually everyone alive on November 22, 1963 remembers the moment they heard the President was shot or dead. Everyone that is except George Herbert Walker Bush. Why do you think that is?

[Vinca]

1. You left out senile dementia.

[rfranklin]

2. Yes, but that would have had to kick in at age 35...

Highly unlikely.

[TorchTheWitch]

3. where's the "big fat fucking LIAR" entry? n/t

[bullimiami]

4. Another vote for BFFL.

[icnorth]

5. I wasn't aware that amnesia was a communicable

disease until November 2nd.

[GoCubsGo]

6. It wasn't E. Howard Hunt

It was G. Gordon Liddy. ;-)

[old mark]

7. Other. The victim was a Democrat, and as such did not register on GHWB's

"brain"...

[WinkyDink]

9. I think you mean his "beautiful mind."

[old mark]

21. Well, you are entitled to your opinion....

never struck me as all that beautiful, though...

8. Guess what? Nixon, who flew OUT of Dallas that day, claimed not to recall, either.

[northoftheborder]

10. Liar.

[superduperfarleft]

11. The people who think it was okey-dokey for Obama to give him the Medal of Freedom seem to. n/t

[tavalon]

12. It's easier to say you don't remember than to make up a lie that might be found out

Sure, you look stupid if you can't remember where you were at such a pivotal moment but you look like part of a cover up if you get caught in a lie.

[lpbk2713]

13. He's terminally stoopid.

Edited to delete erroneous reference.

14. Don't expect Larry King to bring up this little reminder from the FBI...

Less than an hour after President Kennedy was pronounced dead, Poppy Bush phoned his friendly neighborhood FBI man:

Why didn't George H.W. Bush phone the FBI before President Kennedy was assassinated? That's when a warning works best. Oh.

[rfranklin]

15. Sounds like Parrot was the backup

Just in case Oswald took a sick day from the Book Depository job.

[Octafish]

23. It's like you were there, rfranklin.

Since that day, things certainly have gotten criminal to the point of traitorous to the benefit of Poppy and his warmongering cronies.

Speaking of which: This memo from J Edgar Hoover himself mentions "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency."



Transcript:

Date: November 29, 1963

To: Director
Bureau of Intelligence and Research
Department of State

From: John Edgar Hoover, Director

Subject: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
NOVEMBER 22, 1963

Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23, 1963, advised that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised that the Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capitalize on the present situation and undertake an unauthorized raid against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy might herald a change in U. S. policy, which is not true.

Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro Cuban community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who did not entirely agree with the President's policy concerning Cuba, the feeling is that the President's death represents a great loss not only to the U. S. but to all of Latin America. These sources know of no plans for unauthorized action against Cuba.

An informant who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has advised that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President may result in strong repressive measures being taken against them and, although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.

The substance of the foregoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau.

I'd bet a box of Tim Horton's Boston Creme donuts it's the same fellah who hired Oswald's boss.

[goforit]

16. Jessie Ventura 'Conspiracy Theory/JFK' basically labels GHWB as an assassin

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Suffer? No. It's his greatest strength.

How else could he sleep at night?

[ProudDad]

18. Actually he was at Lyndon's ranch watching the whole thing on television

Nixon was mixing the drinks...

[Individualist]

19. He's a liar,

[subterranean]

20. Like father, like son.

George H.W. Bush can't remember what he was doing when he heard about the JFK assassination.

George W. Bush is fuzzy on the details of what he did on the morning of September 11, 2001.

[Octafish]

22. They both lied America into war with Iraq -- WAR that made their cronies VERY VERY RICH.

1991.

2003.

And they bought the cops to keep their loot and government to keep the cash flow going.

[underpants]

24. He was IN Dallas

conspiracy theorists love to include him in any number of schemes having to do with JFK's death and pretty much all large events since WWII.

I will say this, he is as close to "The Smoking man" (X Files) as your are going to get in real life.

[Waiting For Everyman]

25. He was watching cartoons.

On his way to becoming one.
