Three sentences that reveal Bush's character.
1."It will be so much easier if this were a dictatorship, with me being the dictator." That supposedly joking remark has been rendered into reality.We now live in a de facto dictatorship.
2. "Who cares what you think?". This remark made to a reporter who had the impertinence to question our home grown dictator shows me the overweening sense of entitlement this man possesses.All the rest of us are here to serve this man and his courtiers,standing the concept of democracy on its head.
3."I am a uniter, not a divider". Bah, humbug!

We have a man at the top who has contempt for our history and our institutions, who looks down on those less fortunate than himself and separates us by race, religion, sexual orientation and anything else that comes in handy in the preservation of his power.He is capable of demeaning everything he touches.A man with the reverse Midas touch so to speak.

Enough said.

1. He's also a cold blooded calculated murderer
After spending much of the day reading back articles on journalists being killed in Iraq, I now realize, Bush is targeting journalists, and by that I mean, shoot to kill!

That is fucking frightening!

2. He is like a man who has ordered hits like a Mafia Don on journalists.

3. Here's a nice one:
President Bush:

"I do not need to explain why I say things. — That's the interesting thing about being the President. — Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."

5. There's a telling statement.
He's a little wannabee dictator. 'Fuck you, public- I don't owe you an explanation'.

4. The second one is unconfirmed, I believe.
I can certainly imagine Bush saying that, especially in response to what the man had just said to him. Something like, "I think you were a very bad governor", I believe. Bush has revealed his snotty, childish side before (the last presidential debates for instance)- so that comment would be in keeping with his character, I'd say.

Still, confirmation from other witnesses or tape of some kind would make it better.

7. Another quote
"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right." - Europe, July 22, 2001

So don't try to confuse me with the facts...

8. Here are three sentences
"A dictatorship would be a lot easier."

-- (Governing Magazine 7/98) From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator"

-- CNN.com, December 18, 2000

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it"

-- Business Week, July 30, 2001

9. Wiped his glasses on Womens skirt
When Bushie was on late night talk show before the first stolen election his character came out. He was talking to the host a lady came to give the host some paper. He cleaned his glasses on her skirt while she was busy giving the host the paper. That shows what he thinks of common people. He was also wearing some funky socks, looked like womens nylon socks.

I had the picture but can't find it now.
