George W. Bush Forgets To Mention 9/11 In Memoir.

[madinmaryland]

WASHINGTON—While his new book details tense relationships within his administration and admits mistakes were made in the execution of the Iraq War, former president George W. Bush totally blanked on the 9/11 terrorist attacks while writing his memoir Decision Points. "He ends one chapter on what seems like a telling note, saying he felt nothing significant had happened in his first six months in office, but then the next chapter begins, 'It was almost Thanksgiving, and my approval rating was sky-high,'" reviewer Glen Harwell wrote Thursday, noting that Bush's account of the 2001 presidential turkey-pardoning dominates the next 3,000 words of the book. "It appears he just plain forgot to mention what many would call the defining moment of his presidency." Bush has already received criticism for claiming in the memoir that the worst moment of his years in the White House came when entertainer Kanye West sharply criticized him "over issues I cannot even recall at this time."

1. it was probably just an oversight!

the fact that his administration was incompetent over 9/11 he prefers to forget.

Kinda like a year and a half of National Guard service that he just blanks on.

5. The man just does not disappoint the crowd who know he is a moron

And always was and always will be. Complete and total moron idiot.

6. Nothing significant in the first 6 months?

What about the plane that China seized, took apart and returned in pieces?

But we need to remember: in his own words, 2001 was a fabulous year for him and Laura!

Wonder why.

13. Maybe Dubya just couldn't figure out a convincing reason

to give his readers for sitting in the classroom reading a storybook with the kids for 8 minutes after being told America was under attack and then hanging around the school a while longer glad handling with the teachers instead of leaving the vicinity toute suite. Since they claim these hijacking were completely unexpected, they didn't know all the targets that had been selected by the hijackers, and theoretically his presidential self could have been a target of a hijacked aircraft even as he sat in the school surrounded by schoolkids (his location that morning was public knowledge and he wasn't far from a major airport).

The "I didn't want to scare the kiddies" excuse just doesn't cut the mustard for anyone with more than two synapses still firing. I mean, he couldn't just stand up and say something like: "I'm very sorry children, but a staff member just informed me that a situation has unexpectedly developed which I have to attend to as President right away. I wish I could stay with you longer and am sorry I have to leave you so abruptly, but I'll do my best to come back for a proper visit as soon as my schedule allows it," and then make a graceful exit?

It just doesn't happen!

10. Check under TRIFECTA, in the index

it's all a scam.

[gratuitous]

11. The Onion?

Nice try. I was going to mention how fortuitous it was that for all the interviews Stupidhead went on, nobody thought to ask him about this omission. Not that I'm bloody likely to find out by reading his pack of lies myself.

[madinmaryland]

14. Heh.

Yeap. The Onion!

12. Sometimes "The Onion" scares me

They sure know how to ride the thin line between reality and satire.

17. K/R for the Onion.
