George H. W. Bush likens his son to a Christian persecuted by lions
George H. W. Bush just told a very weird story on FOX's Hannity and WhatsHisName:

Defending the kind of hardball campaign tactics used by his son, he said it was like a Christian buried up to his neck in the Colosseum and surrounded by hungry lions trying to tear him apart. The helpless Christian cranes his neck, reaches up with his mouth to bite the lion in the balls -- "private parts", as he properly put it -- and a Centurion comes over and whacks him in the teeth with his spear, saying "That's not fighting fair." This, says the former president, was how the Democrats whine and complain.

These Bushies are something else.

41. I wish the lions would eat him.
That would solve most of our problems and half of the world's.

5. He told that story at least once before
Molly Ivins wrote about it. The essay is included in her new collection "Who Let the Dogs In." H.W. told it on himself that time. She thought it was bizarre then.

Maybe H.W. was reading Ivins's book and reliving old days of glory.

P.S. The entire Bush family is nuts.

40. Poppy is really taking center stage now

Have you noticed that Poppy is everywhere now?

Saying all kinds of weird things.
Wonder what he will say about the sex romps with little boys?

Bet he'll take a vacation around the time that Kitty's book hits the shelves.

Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 01:12 PM by comsymp
Poopy used the same story in reference to his own predicament in '92. His "balls" euphamism at the time was "the most sensitive portion of his anatomy."

So, what's the thrust here? Little Shrub has to sink low enough to take off Kerry's balls because Kerry is persecuting him by telling the truth??

24. I happen to know the original joke
and it has nothing to do with gladiators. And while the main points of the story are essentially intact, the main combatants are a good ole boy and a n***** or a black guy, depending on the vernacular. It's a very racist joke and I'm not surprised poppy knew it.

He lost the election because he WHINED and WIMPERED constantly.

He is evil incarnate and I hope he lives a very long time in a lot of misery.

And by the way, poppy, explain to us again about bailing out of your plane in WWII and why the other two members of your crew didn't make it.

If you haven't heard about poppy's heroism during WWII, you might want to look into:

http://www.thephonyfighterpilot.com

Scroll way way down to find the stories about poppy.

It's a very long article, but if nothing else, skim it. Poppy, the pilot, made it out and his two crew members died. Like father like son??? Can't say for sure, but other squadron members who were nearby question what happened that day.

36. Lying and Cheating is OK if backed into a corner.
Not that Poppy's idiotic analogy has any validity, nor is Bush somehow at some sort of disadvantage. But the moral apparently is that lying through your teeth and cheating is somehow justified if you are outnumbered or at a major disadvantage. Yeah, real ethical there ya evil vampire.

43. I can honestly say that Reagan and Bush screwed me over
during the years I was supposed to be the most productive so I could have saved all this money that I was supposed to save to retire on. Now that I am becoming increasingly dependent on Social Security and Medicare, they want to screw me over on that too. We seniors are probably going to be the lions that eat him.

59. It's becoming more and more obvious how paranoid
and full of fear the Republicans are. One of the people from the Nixon Whitehouse said recently that the atmosphere there wasn't so much about "getting" the opposition as it was about bottomless paranoia. Amazing how the more power someone lusts after and gets, the more and more fearful they become.

I know this makes them dangerous, but it also makes them predictable. Putin used this word yesterday to describe Bush. Kerry should be able to turn this around on the cowards, they are incompetent, predictable and unoriginal.

64. H. W. says, "We're the victims!
And we didn't do anything to deserve it!"

Why are republicans the first to whine about things not being fair? Why do they always ignore the dirty shit they pull?

65. I Think It's The Other Way Around
Many Christians are being deceived. http://www.bushisantichrist.com/ Another DUer gave us this website last week, and after reading it through thoroughly, I agree. Bush is deceiving not only many Christians, but alot of people. He is far from Godly - nothing he is doing represents good, only evil. A 17% increase in Medicare premiums, and education budget cut plans of 1.5 billion for next year - he's done more destruction to our country in the last 4 years than I can personally remember any other President ever causing. Bush is another Hoover. 4 more years of Bush and I wonder if they'll even be an America left - at least, one that we can recognize.

67. Sounds just like some friendly run-of-the-mill fraternity hazing to me
Is being buried in the sand with lions all around any worse than forming butt pyramids while guards dogs eat your privates?

Maybe I'll call Rush and get his learned opinion on this.

Bull, what would George Bush know of Christianity? Known liar, cheat, dissenter, warmonger, hypocrite, murderer of our troops, slanderer, drunk and pothead... to name a few.... those are NOT Christian characteristics.:evilfrown:

I thought he was saying some things which showed he was out of touch and suffering some form of dementia. Not quite there on the "reality thing" as he would have put it.

87. Poppy never taught Bushy the Golden Rule
Bush steals the presidency, splits the nation by focusing on primarily on divisive issues, gives huge tax breaks to his rich friends while the middle class sinks into poverty, does nothing to create jobs, ignores warnings about terrorists until it is too late, runs up huge debts, starts a war without good reason, lets his campaign contributors write the laws and regulations, hides the truth, imprisons people for no good reason, denies arrestees and prisoners their civil rights, snoops into what we read and what we write on the internet, keeps demonstrators and dissenters in pens so that he can't see or hear them, allows people to be arrested for wearing an anti-Bush tee-shirt at his speeches and then has the gall to claim he is a martyr because we don't like him. Apparently poppy never taught him the Golden Rule.

93. Transcript Link:
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 03:59 PM by Snellius
HANNITY: Former Vice President Al Gore screaming, "George Bush betrayed his country."

Ted Kennedy regularly calls the president a liar; he concocted a war for political gain.

Dennis Kucinich while running for president accused your son of targeting civilians for assassination.

BUSH: Al Byrd, for whom I used to have a lot of respect. It's very personal, Sean. It's not a question of I disagree on this or that. It's the personal attacks. And I, you know -- What can I do about it?

HANNITY: It takes a long time but have you heard the leaders of the Democratic Party that shrill?

BUSH: I've heard them shrill and I've heard some of ours shrill in the past. But I've never felt the climate like it is now nor the shrillness of the political opposition.

HANNITY: It hurts?

BUSH: Well, yes, you expect some of it, but when it's your son and they call him a liar and they impugn his motives, it hurts a lot.

You think I feel strongly about it, talk to Barbara Bush. Of course, she just tells me not to watch and all of that, but I can't not watch.
...

HANNITY: Yes, it seems like it's been that way. It's been almost a full year of nonstop criticism.

BUSH: Yes.

HANNITY: And the Republicans get their case back and it's like the tone has changed. It's like, where have people been the last three months?

BUSH: Remember that story about the lion ate this poor guy and they buried him in the coliseum up to his neck. And they turned the lion loose.

The lion came over and ran by him. And he reached up with his mouth and grabbed the lion by his private parts. And the lion screamed and ran away. And the centurion came up: "Fight fair, fight fair," while hitting the guy on the head.

That's what they're doing.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,131794,00.html

"Al Byrd"?

94. Well, George Sr.,
You might...MIGHT...have a point if millions of taxpayer dollars had been spent in an organized effort to dig up dirt on your son. However, your son handed all this to us on a silver platter and it's getting out there DESPITE the best efforts of the media to bury it. So go suck an egg.

96. How stupid.
People persecuted in this way were left to run around the ampitheater (not just the "Colluseum" and not just Christians) and try to "fight" the animals. I cannot imagine burying someone would have satisfied the bloodthirsty crowds. THey would rather watch a "funny" show with a lion slowly ripping someone to shreds.

That said, I would say that the buried person would be John Kerry. Since any sort of attack on His Imperial Majesty George the Grotesque is "Bushbashing," the metaphor of the buried person, unable to fight back, is more appropriate.

101. has anyoone considered the physics of this?
he's buried up to his neck. not only would a lion obviously just whack him with a paw and kill him, but the guy could not physically reach up and bite, unless this is the Ron Jeremy of lions. plus, if YOU were a Centurion, would YOU walk over to a group of hungry lions, even with a spear or not? and anyway, why would they bury him up to his neck? the romans would find it a lot more entertaining to have him run around and try to get away

103. My heart bleeds
this from the author of the October surprise. I hope we all remember Poppy's little trips in 1980 to ensure that no hostage would be released before the election...We have to remember that they have not even begun to fight. Whining is just part of their M.O. If shrub is buried up to his neck, we have a serious shortage of sand.

What the hell? There is nothing Christian about the attacks he's leveled or the way he's acted over the past 4 years.

Guess they haven't read any version of the Bible other than the Republican attack bible.
