Emotional Elder Bush Attacks Son's 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.

"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."
"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.

...

The former president, who waged the first Gulf War against Saddam in 1991, described progress in Iraq as "a miracle." "Iraq is moving forward in hope and not sliding back into despair and terrorism," he said.

Perfect analogy.

Save some tears for the dead GIs and Iraqis killed for your son's pathological test of "manhood."

We don't want to hear your crap. Your boy's smear did a more thorough job on John McCain than the Dems have ever done to your precious little Chimpy.

take jeb, and bunnypants, and neil and stick em up your ass you filthy slimebag

Your all gonna be in jail before this shit is over

F..k you Poppy. Cry me a f..king river!

you can dress him up anyway you want to but.......like father like son.

I feel no sympathy for papa Bush...he's son has caused 600 soldiers TODAY to be torn away from this world forever and he's not ONCE shed a tear for those lives. Bush hasn't lost a thing, only gains, and there is NOTHING to cry about regarding his son! Again, a selfish family that has zero regard for anyone else's life. I find it pathetic. Why doesn't Bush tell his WMD joke to cheer up his Pop? PHOOEY!

f'n a! where's the number at now?

second and third time he cried, a huh..........

now i am wondering just what is up with all this mans crying. really in wonder, just odd.

thats my two cents worth, lol

bubbling up from all the misery he has caused throughout his life. What a miserable fuck.

Hmmmmmmm

on the current administration.

Guess not if you're a Bush.

in his speech.

please call your congresspeople and senators all day today and demand that our troops be brought home now
pleasepleaseplease
Michael is right in the middle of this, please I beg you all.
bring all our kids home.

:puke:

That pic is horrible.....:-(

with as thin a skin as his evil spawn. It's Babs who has the tough skin in that family. That's why so many refer to her as "Dragon Lady."

This should be an embarrassment for the little Chimp, having to have his "big Poppy" come out to defend him with "tears in his eyes."

:puke: (forgive my nasty comments, but Poppy sets me off)

His son's a 57-year-old man, for God's sake, who chose to enter the dog-eat-dog world of politics. And the poor widdle boy needs defending by his daddy? Give me a friggin' break.

can cry on cue better than any actor in Hollywood. He shouldn't have let his little moran run for office if he couldn't take the criticism.

he cried (petrochemical group)they may have actually been tears of joy for all that baby boy has done for these fat asses!!!

Cries on cue. Gimme a break!

I doubt he shared any tears when Clinton was being torn down everyday during his presidency.

Compassionate conservatism. Yeah right. They are very compassionate when it comes to their own flesh and blood but give a f*ck about anyone else.

How pathetic - when the going gets tough, Poppy comes out to defend his poor helpless little fratboy. Poppy and "Beautiful Mind" Babs have no idea how ridiculous they look.

I had to laugh out loud at his simpering little monologue...i guess he was getting in touch with his inner child....ha aha aha aha ha...

"something short of FAIR AND BALANCED"!!! that's, right ASSHOLE, because we are not all watching fox news!!!talk about a freudian slip.

they can dish it out, but they can't take it. Loathesome, cowardly bastards. Please, if there is a god, let there be some divine (and maybe not so divine) justice for these lying, thieving, killing monsters.

bite me.

It's so precious to see these sensitive men get their feelings hurt like this. Sheesh! What a bunch of babies! Criticism is so hurtful! Boohoo!

Hey 41! Get over it!

I'm for anything that makes the Bushies cry.
