If You Can't Take the Heat, Get Out of Crawford

By ELISABETH BUMILLER

CRAWFORD, Tex.
How hot was it at President Bush's ranch last week?

So hot that he momentarily slipped up and let it be known that the 106-degree temperatures were getting to him.

"We've got to get in before we have a heat stroke," Mr. Bush told reporters at his ranch on Friday, trying to end an 18-minute news conference with his top military advisers under the blistering noon sun.

Then he corrected himself.

"Before you have a heat stroke," he told reporters, implying, once again, that he could take the heat even if all those squishy White House correspondents, who would rather be at Mr. Bush's parents' place in Maine, could not.

The heat wave was the big story at the president's ranch last week, serving as a kind of leveler that wilted the parade of White House advisers and political fund-raisers summoned by Mr. Bush to the inferno. From Karl Rove, Mr. Bush's chief political adviser, to Donald H. Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, no one stayed a moment longer than necessary. Certainly no one lingered to see the Crawford scenery or to take a dip in Lake Waco.

You know, the guys and gals you sent over to "protect America" from terrorism.

They don't have air-conditioning...or, much potable water, either! They're all baking in 120 degress! And, the Iraqis are worse off! Much worse!

So, go collect your $millions in "fundraising" in "cool cash" and expect to rot in hell for eternity for all of your dirty deeds here on earth. You deserve no less!

:evilfrown:

What a couple of wimps! All they have to do is get in shrubs gas guzzling -air conditioned 'pick up', and head down to the liquor store for some "near beer".Maybe a giant hole will open up in the ozone and turn the both of them...and thier fish into ash.

Here in the South, we can take a little heat.

Go back to Connecticut!!

Wonder if the troops are enjoying Bush's tough talk..

....he is a spawn from the firey depths of hell, where the temputure averages 227 degrees year-round.....

By the time you get on your BDUs and ammo belt and helmet and you're loaded down with weapons it's about 150! Slip into your all metal armored vehicle and you're up to about 175 for a nice leisurely tour of downtown Hell.

I know where I can find some REAL MEN AND WOMEN who will gladly trade for your wimpy little 106, you small piece of rat shit you.

A soldier has recently died of heat stroke in the shade in Iraq and Bush gets away with that remark??? Boy, do we need a noise machine to defend our troops from these selfish goons.

I'm closer to being a Texan than he is and I'm from Ohio.

to have a farm? What bullshit a farmer or rancher can't take the heat.

...it's, er, horseshit.

All hat, no cattle.

His KY'd ass is sitting in the Oval Office. He + Arnie are Poifect Together,Honey-bunch!:9 :party: :puke:

I've heard several variations of this. One wonders what kind of delight he gets in these sick, little, "Please don't kill me" jokes. There's one in which he pulls up in his pickup truck to a group of reporters sweltering in the Texas sun and jibs "Sorry, I can't hear you. Let me turn down my air-conditioner." Anyone who follows him closely has heard hundreds of anecdotes along this dark line. They should be interesting character insights when history finally catches up with him.

The guy is such a phoney asshole. Just when I thought it was not possible to detest the man more than I already do, I read something like that. :puke:
