He Molests the Dead
---

But this only in keeping with both Bushes. George Bush, Sr., had the badge of officer Eddie Byrne, who was gunned down in South
Jamaica, and he stood up at Christ the King High School in Middle Village and held it up and said he would have this badge on him
forever. Some chance. Bush then led high school girls into insane cheers for the death penalty.

Now, right off, this second George Bush came up with the badge of a Port Authority cop, George Howard, who died. He was from
Hicksville. His mother gave Bush the son's badge. When Bush came back to the trade center a year later, he reached into his pocket and
whipped out that badge and he had a tear in his eye. What makes it worse is that this George W. Bush acts like he's entitled to treat the
remains of a dead man like a souvenir. Now he shows a commercial with dead bodies, or body parts, covered with an American flag
being taken through the smoke and flames of the world trade center attack. It caused people who had lost family members in the attack
to complain about using the dead or parts thereof being used for a politician's gain.

Most of this comes from these dazed Pekingese of the Press. As this was being written on Friday night, the television announcers kept
saying that Martha Stewart would go to a country club federal prison. The fools. Try any jail on any day. At five o'clock, you can't go home.
Giuliani was a hero with these news people. He did not pick up a piece of steel or help carry one of the injured off.

He made the trade center his private cathedral. Police commanders were terrified of letting you in. There was only Rudy, who flew his
stars, Opra and the like, down to see it. Now he says a Bush ad is "appropriate."

1. Clinton had consensual sex; Bush molests the dead!
I better not add anything to that.
Sometimes it is best to let the truth stand
on its own.

3. "This will not stand"
Edited on Wed May-19-04 04:41 PM by teryang
Another re-enactment of bushonian poor usage. A variant of the petulant and school marmish "I won't stand for this." "Junior, mamma won't stand for this!"

4. Well, it's amazing to me what passes for "strong leadership" here.
Basically, it seems to boil down to doing a feeble imitation
of a Hollywood shoot-em-up hero in the lead up to the pictures
climactic death frenzy, but using more stilted language.

5. Doesn't it strike you as ironic....
that it is okay for Bush to use the dead for political purposes, but parents are not even allowed to meet the coffins of their dead children, when they return from Iraq?

Bush is EVIL.

6. Irony does not matter.
Only what benefits the Administration, or maybe one should
say what they think will benefit them, matters.
Flag waving patriotic displays are good for Shrub and so is
hiding the cost. The parents of the dead don't matter any
more than the soldiers do.
