George Bush Reveals Most Nervous Moment Of Presidency: World Series Opening Pitch
The Huffington Post Alana Horowitz First Posted: 9/12/11 02:38 PM ET Updated: 9/12/11 03:11 PM ET

George W. Bush revealed the most nervous moment of his presidency in an HBO documentary about 9/11 that aired Sunday.

It wasn't when he learned the World Trade Center was hit or when he realized al Qaeda was behind the attack. The moment didn't even occur on September 11th, 2001.

Throwing the opening pitch in the third game of the 2001 World Series was Bush's most worried moment.

"It was the most nervous I had ever been," he said. "It was the most nervous moment of my entire presidency, it turns out."

1. Oy friggin' vey.

:banghead:

[gratuitous]

2. I totally believe Bush when he says that

I plan to use it while talking with the Nitwit Brigade.

3. Sociopaths don't tend to worry when others are suffering.

Only when they're doing something that might harm their image.

It makes perfect sense.

4. We would have been better off with Jethro Bodine

as potus.

[Nostradammit]

5. He wants so badly to spill the beans about the PNAC plans.

It would be his big chance to finally f*ck up his old man.

Keep dropping those hints, Junior!

6. It wasn't when he and his

padded package landed on the carrier in front of the MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to tell the world how wonderfully the Iraq invasion had gone....It wasn't even when the first troops entered into Iraq. - When he threw out the first frigging PITCH!!! And, for that matter, if I recall correctly....BLEW IT!

What a GD embarrassment to his species....whatever that is!

[woo me with science]

7. There's an episode of Columbo

in which a brilliant attorney murders her husband and fakes his kidnapping in order to gain control of his law firm.

She works with the police to leave a cash ransom for the (non-existent) kidnappers. Through a clever ruse, she picks up the ransom herself and stashes it away. The body is then discovered, and, money recouped, she plays the part of the grieving widow.

Columbo catches her by having her stepdaughter (the daughter of the murder victim) claim to know all about the crime and demand money to keep her silence. The murderer agrees and gives her stepdaughter a valise full of the ransom cash, which the police have marked. Caught giving her stepdaughter the marked ransom money, the murderer expresses shock that she was trapped.

Columbo explains that he knew she would fall for the ruse, because a sociopath has no concept of conscience and always imagines that everyone else is as greedy as she is. It never occurred to her that her stepdaughter would not accept money to cover up the murder of her father.


The striking thing about this story for me is that Bush thought his comments made a great human interest story for the media. It never occurred to him that other people would be aghast that, during a Presidency full of war and tragedy and suffering and death, he would claim a baseball game as his most nervous moment.

There is seriously something wrong with that guy. Oh yea - sociopath.

[peacefreak]

10. Yup. Real depth there.

:rofl:

11. What a surprise.

Historians are going to be scratching their heads for hundreds of years about how this fuckwit ever became president.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

12. He was nervous because it was something he had to do himself

and no one could do it for him.
