Excerpt:

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - An emotional former President George H.W. Bush on Tuesday defended his son's Iraq (news - web sites) war and lashed out at White House critics.

It is "deeply offensive and contemptible" to hear "elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail" dismiss progress in Iraq since last year's overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), the elder Bush said in a speech to the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association annual convention.

"There is something ignorant in the way they dismiss the overthrow of a brutal dictator and the sowing of the seeds of basic human freedom in that troubled part of the world," he said.

The former president appeared to fight back tears as he complained about media coverage of the younger Bush that he called "something short of fair and balanced."

Media coverage of his son is "something short of fair and balanced."

Of course the media has been his accomplice.

there probably wouldn't be anything to criticize to begin with. If the press had treated Duh?bya like they did Gore during the campaign, Duh?? wouldn't even be in D. C. to criticize. If the media had treated Duh?? like they did Clinton.....Oh! don't get me started! I'm fighting off a rant here! Poppy can just go poop his pants! If his little boy isn't man enough to face a fair campaign, he should DROP OUT! Poppy is a wimp, and his son is too!

99% of them suck elephant CENSORED and they praise the illegal occupant of Al Gore's House in a manner that Goebbels never came close to!

He is nothing anymore. Lower than whale shit on the bottom of the ocean.

fucking hypocrite

Check out my sig line - this should be made a talking point!

Whether the first Gulf War was right or wrong the beginnings of a revolt were starting to occur when Bush basically allowed Saddam to crush it after initially encouraging the rebellion to begin with.

Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess now if the Bush administration had shown some concern for the Iraqi people the first time around.

It's too late for you to withdraw now.

That's something you should have done nine months prior to your sleazebag son's conception.

But for the rest of us??

ATTACK!!!

NEVER RETREAT!!!!

NEVER WITHDRAW YOUR CRITICISMS OF THIS FUCKING POSEUR!!!!

Oh, Catwoman... that "withdraw" line is fuckin' priceless.

You're so bad!!

:D :D :D

I stole that phrase from a DU'ers protest pic.

A little old lady was wearing a shirt saying Poppy Bush should have withdrawn............

:D

Fuck you Poppy, suck my dick old man, fuck off, fuckity-fuck-fuck-fuck.

The Freepers probably had to run to church as soon as they read this thread.

I love you guys!!!

:loveya:

:loveya:

I need one of the buttons you're featuring on your sig!

In the meantime, I'm happy to see that Poppy can squeeze out a few crocodile tears for his buddies in the oil bidness. Could we arrange an afternoon visit with some of the brave soldiers who are now cooling their heels in the Walter Reed "spa", courtesy of his son's poor decision making?

Julie

That's where I found the button. Just click on the "Progressive" link, and buy, buy, buy!

For an extra coupla bux, he'll magnitize your sticker/button, for those who are a little shy, and prefer to hang their Politik on the fridge!!

:D

I love you CatWoman. I love your way with words and your directness.

:kick:

Rally 'round the family with a pocket full of shells!

he and Babs always play "the parent card" when the shit hits the fan. The whole family is a stain on this nation's history.

What's the opposite of Camelot? Hell?

I guess anyone who'se familiar with the Arthurian legend would say that the opposite of Camelot would be Mordred's Court. Others of us might say Grendel's House.

Kennebunkport. And yes, Kennebunkport equals Hell.

:D

Fighting back tears? Former POTUS and CIA Director? Gotta be the result of too many Tom Collins at the nineteenth hole for too many years.

bet he doesn't wash his hands either.

... poppy stains on the couch...... "I gotta sit down!!!"
Scott

:head explodes:


Poppy, you ARE THE GODDAMNED ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...with the oilmen, Poppy.

I like the way the whore media poses at Crawford with the hay bale and barn in the background. These Bush's have never worked a day in their lives, never worried about paying bills, don't know what a goddam supermarket scanner is, but have the gall to condemn the "elite." They would prefer to be monarchs and believe it is their due.

,...he talks about "elites" attacking his baby boy. Shit!!! These people have obviously had it way, way too freakin' easy!!! They need to get out and discover what it's like to really live,...below the poverty line.

it's astounding

,...which depend upon (and truly do "trust") the media to be "informative". It is really weird, though, for me to have contact with those whose lives are such an incredible struggle just to survive (in total contrast with those whose lives are OVER-pulentiful) and listen to them repeat soundbites from TV. Today, I ran into one of those struggling souls who spoke of the campaign ads concerning an alleged gas tax by Kerry. I said, "Do you realize that those ads have become something akin to a used car salesman trying to sell you a piece of crap?" He replied, "Oh, yeah,...I know that." Then, I asked him if he realized that nearly every senior member of this administration makes big money from the oil industry, the arms manufacturing and dealing industry and the finance industry. He replied, "Oh, yeah,...I knew,...sure, I knew that." I smiled at him and stated, "In that case, you know who would be making a lot of money at the American people's expense when we go to war in oil-rich countries and when the gasoline and other fuel prices go way up, huh."

just political and historical desserts.

To borrow a quote from Al Franken, 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag - that's what you and Momma are you scheming-conniving-self-absorbed-ruin-America-for-the-benefit-of-your-rich-elitist-friends-MOTHERFUCKER.

It's a great commentary on the state of affairs when * can't stand on his own merits and has to run crying to momma and diddy and have them tell the "critics" (read: truthseekers and legitimate patriots) question whether the emperor is wearing any clothes.

One final fuck-you you shit bag!

You sould have used a condem in addition to the bag you used with "ma barker" bush*...

In other words, nothing to do with *.

basically admitting that it is the ones with intelligence criticizing chimp, so that would mean that the dummies are on his side. :think:

Wicked-cool!!! Thanks!!

I have Incapsulated to thank for it, she posted it and said we could 'steal' it from her. :-)

... has a long history of anti-intellectualism, and it shows in the widespread ignorance of its populace.

It is "deeply offensive and contemptible" to hear "elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail" dismiss progress in Iraq...

Elites? Heck, BushCo is the elite. But he is right in that we do have the intellectual advantage.

Reptiles, all.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA

if they are pulling out poppy with the crocodile tears.

And don't you love how he doesn't miss an opportunity to perpetuate the myth of his son just being a good old boy?

"elites and intellectuals" <-- Like these people are elitist. And WTF is wrong with being an intellectual? I actually WANT the people running the country to be smarter than me!

and the bushes understand that. hence junior's good old boy pose. they don't understand much else about real americans, but they know we're rubes.

and we don't like them wine swillin' poindexters! get a rope!

for them maybe they should find a new family business and leave politics for those who aren't so sensitive and touchy-feelie. :nopity: Chimp shouldn't have to have his mommy and daddy always out there defending him, he should grow up and be a real man and quit crying to his parents. :cry:

you are living in the wrong country ?

Go ahead get out. Leave. Take your douchebag kids with ya. Go move to whatever miserable little island has all your money stashed on it. And when you get there just shut the fuck up.

He did the same thing in 2000 when Bill Clinton mocked *'s qualifications for president, "Well, my daddy was president, and I owned a baseball team…" Poppy went ballistic and threatened to tell "what I really think of him!"

I mean, c'mon.... the "National Petrochemical and Refiners Association"!

NOT! :puke:

to kowtow to *any* squalid piece of effluent that your wife shat out of her loins, no matter how much you cry and whine and insist that I do. Even if this were a monarchy, which it is not, I would rather be drawn and quartered before I would curtsy to a Bush.

I am so sick of the entire Bush family, do they never quit??
:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

patsified, I'm with you 100%. Even though I absolutely know better, I'm still blown away everytime they play the "elitist, intellectual" card.

Poppy was a Noxious Weed in 1988, and remains so. Shut the fuck up, you withered Assclown. Go buy a presidential legacy, while you're at it.

. . . that really conjurs up a visual. :P

Great reply patsified . . . although that image is stuck in my head now. Thanks fer nuthin'! :7

TYY

go to hell Pops.

bring my son home now.

It is "deeply offensive and contemptible" to hear "elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail"

Lets see know.......To me, an intellectual is a person who has a successful academic background and who knows how to think, analyze and comment. I would be honored to be considered an intellectual.

Now, the elite is someone who thinks he is better than everyone else and when we have an administration thats gets its shorts in an uproar when someone sez something negative about it.....well, you know the old saying...."If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck." This administration is just that....
a bunching freaking ducks. Now poppa duck shows up to comfort baby duckling. Aw, the mean old bad guys are saying not nice things about junior. Awwww. Well poppy, tell Junior to stop acting like a jackass and we'll stop regarding him as one.

Elite, my ass!!!!!

Not.

:nopity:

Can we say Mafia, can we say thugs and thieves?

Reminds me lots of the "Sopranos".

To bad this one is real.

Screw the BFEE. And by the way, come get me, and everyone else that has yous numbers.

of time 'til they rolled out Poppy and the old battle axe, Babs. I predict news coverage of Babs defending her "boy" isn't far behind.

This fucking family was born too late. They would have been perfect in 18th century England...as the kings and queens they imagine themselves to be.

Just asking since you showed your ugly face again.

that money can't buy for you and your spawn.

Go listen to some Dylan, like "Masters of War." Try to get a clue.

"Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul."

God, I suck...

:D

ON EDIT: This is in response to Career Prole's numberless post. Fuckin' buggy software!!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

"It hurts an awful lot more when it's your son that is being criticized than when they used to get all over my case," said Bush, who has often complained about media coverage of both Bush presidencies.

When you stop being a shitty team, they'll stop referring to you as one.

The former president appeared to fight back tears as he complained about media coverage of the younger Bush that he called "something short of fair and balanced."

Cry us a fucking river, then drown in it. The whole lot of them are the spawn of Satan.

We aint done with you and your filth. Like a facet dripping, the pain and tortue of facing the American public with your pathetic lies will grow, but slowly, till there is a sudden climax. Then we sue the fuck out of your family for ripping off the country and playing God with our military, you bunch of Fascists!

Poor beleaguered Dad. I'm sure he and Ole Barbara sit glued to the TV set in the den of their beautiful estate in Texas.

They watch with bated breath as TV reporters carp about the ongoing scandals. They hold hands and they look at each other from time to time. The sweat builds on their foreheads, in spite of the air conditioning running through their den.

"Shit". George mumbles. "I went to so much trouble to get the media in line. And look now what they're doing". "So undisciplined, these stations".

Barbara sniffs, and squeezes his hand tighter. "My baby", she whispers. "Why are they doing this to him?"

...just wait, Barbara. It ain't over yet.

Poor Little Junior

Thanks, ever so, for that barf-inducing photo, kskiska!!!!

:puke:

Honor and integrity cannot be bought and that's a life lesson I hope the whole bush family learns.

Actually,he already has,I reckon.

What a "deeply offensive and contemptible" plug for Faux News. Get the cattle prod out of your ass, maybe your eyes will clear up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and we made all that money, and we at the Carlyle group stand to make so much more money making sure your sons and daughters die for oil...

sniffle, sniffle.

Thanks, Poppy, for pardoning Ollie North, btw. Also, thanks for pardoning Elliot Abrams so that a guy who lied to Congress about your efforts to bring genocide to Central America is now the guy in charge of Middle East policy for the current fascist thugs.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

...on the Pickles thread.

It's an old, old play.

Dad cries about the criticism of "our boy."

Then Bar comes out and levels the bazookas and scolds America.

Screw these old grifters. There never was such a plague on America.

And, you're right.... here comes George Washington.... errr, Babs.

:puke:

The best part of Chimpy ran down Babs's swollen cellulite-encrusted varicose vein-laden leg.

Daddy Bush is a whiny shitstain of a man, and his entire clan is a lingering cancer upon the planet. Where is the bird-flipping icon when it would REALLY come in handy?? :nuke:

Just like that likely-Republican Jessica Simpson, I've decided to omit "God" from my vocabulary, replacing it with GAH, as in "Oh, my GAH." Why? Because it makes me holier.

Try not to hold back so much next time, ZW!

;-)
Jen-Jen

....DU. I don't see ANYONE defending the Bushes there.

I can't stomach the way these fascist nazis can't handle criticism. They can dish it out,but they can't take it.Ignorant whiney morons. :nopity:

Wait, that was yesterday!

Well I find it "deeply offensive and contemptible" for a man who was AWAL for most of his military service to send men and women to die for Haliburton.

"Elites and intellectuals", eh?

This coming from the privileged son of a man who made his fortune dealing with the Nazis. He and HIS son both millionaires many times over, with Yale educations, gentlemen's ranches in Texas and a family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine where they do a little fishin' with their PNAC think-tank buddies and Saudi princes.

Gimme a break! Will SOMEONE in the media debunk this horse manure about the Bushes as "regular folk" once and for all!!!!!!

has done to this country and all the people in it. And, potentially, the WORLD, and all the people in it.

EXTRAORDINARILY "deeply offensive and contemptible." Describes the entire BFEE family, if you ask me.

Why are none of his grandchildren serving their country in Afghanistan or Iraq?

It also might upset their polo game and the trip to the Riviera

I thought conservatives were supposed to be tough and manly. I guess Poppy never got that memo. Damn, he breaks out in tears all the time (must be too much Haldol and too many high balls).

At least he doesn't take Viagra.

Could you imagine him going after that thing that mothered the Chimp

Yikes, that's one coyote ugly, vindictive bag of fart.

I'd be prone to crying jags too!

holy cow---where will it all end

daddy and his bitch mommy.

These nuts are a threat to every living thing.

"There is something ignorant in the way they dismiss the overthrow of a brutal dictator and the sowing of the seeds of basic human freedom in that troubled part of the world," he said.

Now that's rich. It wasn't that long ago the Bush was bragging that he was C student at a Yale .

hey poppy, you and your hag bar can kiss my ass, k?

"fighting back tears" about all the death and destruction their family has brought upon practically this whole planet.

They are just sick and sickening "people".

"sowing of seeds of basic human freedom........"? Shock and Awe came during the planting season in Iraq, oh what a humane harvest it shall be Herr Boo$h.

Crying at a meeting of OIL men.


Touching.

intellectuals as if it’s bad to be smart….I’m inclined to surmise that the inverse would be a friggin’ gop dittohead looking for a clue….

gin

I swear, everytime I hear about a member of the Bush family bursting into tears, it's for their own selfish reasons. They weep when they're talking about THEMSELVES, and that's it. When was the last time any of them shed a tear for us less fortunate folks who lack their superior pedigree (or "perigee", as Dubya would put it)? Never!

Does he have a beautiful mind like his wifey does, too? Are we bothering the Addams family now? Oh--wrong family--the Adams family was actually normal in comparison to the Bush/Walker tribe.

I think we need to send them off to Mars. They might be normal there.

and are in a serious state of disconnect!

Tons of fodder here for anti-Bush buttons though-

:grouphug:

Oh, hell, I can't say what KIND of nap, can I?
Schutzstaffel, y'know, they're EVERYWHERE

I'm so fucking sick of hearing the phrase "Fair and Balanced". I actually heard it used on NPR during one of the national appeals. I think it was susan Stamberg that uttered it.

Tell me it's NOT a RW "code word" for "Hey, we're on YOUR side, know whuttamean?"

when they come for you?

Jr. One termer!

WAAAH! SMART PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MY IDIOT BASTARD KID!!

Though this probably took only one fist:

This family is truly evil to the core. I guess since Laura couldn't squeeze out any tears, they brought out Poppy to do it. Maybe instead of Reagan's death as an October surprise, they will pull the plug on Pops to get sympathy. I would put nothing past this bunch.

place, he wouldn't have to get so worked up about his son being put through the wringer. some people just can't face facts. it's bush the elder's failure... it's on his shoulders. he could have taken out saddam if he had really wanted to.

...."{Poppie}defended his son's Iraq war ....

This war BELONGS to bush*!
bush* wanted this war,
bush* demanded this war,
bush* started this war,
bush* is responsible for this war,

this illegal and immoral war hangs around bush*s neck like a rotten albatross. History will not be kind, and neither will I.

The outrage is that he is paying for it with our childrens' blood, and our childrens' money. FUCK bush*

I hate even dignifying bush*s adolescent warrior delusions by calling this a war. It never was a real war, and bush* is NOT entitled to call himself a wartime president. In fact, he is not even entitled to call himself president.

Excellence in posting. :-)

:wtf: Who the hell do these people think they are? Monarchs? 'Cause they can surely dish it out, but they can't take it. :nopity:

That line about "elites and intellectuals" made me laugh out loud. We know that while the Bush elders don't exactly live for "the life of the mind" they are reasonably intelligent, even if they spawned a throwback. But "elites" are attacking sonny-boy? Oh please. If the BFEE aren't certifiably elite I don't know who on this planet is.

I'll see you someplace else first.

Who wants to join in the "Broom and Bucket Brigade"?

I'm looking for volunteers. I need help.

Where's Dana Carvey when you need him?

Wow! We don't have Poppy to kick around anymore - but W sure was his revenge.
Under his benevolent exterior lies a mean old bastard - remember the 'hot tubbers from Marine county" comments on John Walked Lindt? And then the GOP style apology - soryy you got offended - it seems I hit a nerve"
How dares the media point out what you yorself did back in 2002; that occupying Iraq was madness? Who do they think they ara?A royal family or sumthin'?

The family that preys together stays together. The Bush Crime Family has made millions off of other people's blood. The Mafia is envious.

Reading the lede of this piece from Reuters, I had to wonder whether I might actually be reading a spoof from The Onion ...

An emotional former President George H.W. Bush on Tuesday defended his son's Iraq war and lashed out at White House critics.
It is "deeply offensive and contemptible" to hear "elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail" dismiss progress in Iraq since last year's overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the elder Bush said in a speech to the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association annual convention.

That's when we send his idiot son back to Texas and bring the Bush dynasty to a screeching halt.

Big crocodile tears! :kick:

Talk about a sense of entitlement. I wish someone would point out that this family fits the term "welfare queens" more aptly than anyone Reagan tried to caricature back in the late eighties. How much of their money continues to flow directly through government (through exclusive, hidden contracts)? Yet they should never be accountable - and shame on those who would dare speak out. Democracy, shemocracy... we bush's believe in demogagic divine right (and privelege) of the oligarchs.... "Let them eat cake!"

Get one of your CIA Mafia Nazi buddies to say GWB is good. Oh I forgot to ask - Are you and the CIA still flying cocaine into the country ? You couldn't hide it that time the CIA plane crashed in the 80's filled with cocaine. Don't you have a Carlyle meeting to go to ?
