Bush 41,"Olbermann Maddow, Sick Pups

The Swamp has this report on this story:

Chicago Tribune
Mark Silva
October 16, 10:45pm

It was in the course of discussing how uncivil political and media discourse have become lately - with "the cables'' and all - that former President George H.W. Bush called the evening commentators on MSNBC - Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow - "sick puppies.''

Bush, who played host to President Barack Obama at a "Points of Light'' celebration in Texas today, sat for a CBS News radio interview in which he voiced dismay about the tone of the national discourse that Obama faces.

"I don't like it,'' Bush said. "The cables have a lot to do with it... Its not just the right.... There are plenty of people on the left."

The former president singled out Olbermann and Maddow as "sick puppies,'' saying: "the way they treat my son and anyone who's opposed to their point of view is just horrible... When our son was president they just hammered him mercilessly, and I think obscenely a lot of the time, and now it's moved to a new president."

The tenor of the harshest criticism lately "should not be par for the course,'' Bush said. "To the degree it turns off one student or one person from serving, that's bad."

22. I object to your insult to weasels.
That sack of shit can only be compared to ticks,leeches, and other bloodsuckers.

How convenient of him to forget that he started all this shit w/ Lee Atwater, Roger Ailes, & crew.

If he had only let that sperm run down his leg, he could've spared the world untold misery and pain. But no-o-o-o...........

5. "When our son was president"
they just hammered him mercilessly"

Yeah HW Bush, there was a fucking reason for that. He trashed the living shit out of the economy, shit all over the constitution, and got us into an unjust and totally unnecessary war you old fuck-twit.

I hate to break it to you, but your son is a dip shit, lying, alcoholic loser that you've enabled for far too long.

Olberman and Maddow were some of the few in the media that had the guts to stand up to you and your dumbass son.

I have to ask you Poppy, did Barbara drop your son a lot when he was an infant? It sure seems like it.

So take your opinions and shove them up your ass, H.W. and go fuck yourself.

8. Since Bush '41 started the attack politics with the Willie Horton ads, and
those "sick puppies" Lee Atwater and Roger "Do we depict him with a knife in his hand or not" Ailes.

I still maintain that Ross Perot split the election so badly because in 1992, Americans were ashamed of the way sick puppies, Bush, Atwater and Ailes played them in 1988. This was before Murdock bought himself a citizenship and Speaker. There was some civility left in the US.

14. Olbermann and Maddow "attacked" his spoiled, criminal, mass-murdering idiot son
"mercilessly" while the rest of the American media bent over backward, lying, distorting, manipulating, bullshitting so he could ram through his "destroy America and the world (except possibly the uber rich)" agenda.

15. People DO criticize in-appropriately and this DOES obscure the fact that a certain class IS
ENSLAVING the other classes in this country.

The Invasion and Occupation of a sovereign nation named Iraq and the subsequent deaths of about 1 million Iraqis who did not need killing IS perfect proof of that fact and, though, everyone who voted for the IWR IS responsible for this fact, this man's son CAUSED this to happen.

17. Olbermann and Maddow were more than kind to his son...
A despot, a sociopath, and worst of all, a total incompetent. If I had a show, I would vomit all over the studio every time a picture of GW Bush came up, and then I would hurl feces at it. Eat your heart out Glen Beck.

21. Wonder if GHWB realizes just how sick are the puppies of the Beck, Limpballs, and Hannity types or
if he just hasn't bothered to notice, or agrees with the foul garbage they spew from their bilious mouths? :P

23. Too late, Bush
I can still remember how upset I was when you beat Dukakis in 1988. Partly because I thought and still do that he'd have been a much better leader; but also because your election seemed to be proof of how nastiness and viciousness and ruthlessness, as personified by Lee Atwater, can too often triumph over decency. The equivalent was happening then in my country under Thatcher and it was most depressing to see it triumph again and again. It was good to see it ultimately NOT triumph in 2008. But anyway, Daddy Bush, you were one of the key people who let that genie out of that bottle, and you are not so easily going to put it back when it happens not to suit *you* and your lovely son - who got his second term to quite an extent by allowing the vile 'swiftboating' of Kerry, if you want to talk about 'incivility'.

24. must be time for MSNBC to run a special on GHWB...
...and his family. A real, exhaustive look at the BFEE.

Or the network could just unleash Rachel for a couple of segments. Ha!

25. The Truth Is Sunshine on the Vampire BFEE
and water on the wicked witch of the west.

And ole Count Drekula can't stand it. What a pity it took this long to get the truth flowing to the masses.
