Rovian Whisper Cmpgn #65: Is George W. Bush still Torturing Small Animals?
Reports of W. Shoving firecrackers up frog butts in TX (true) have America wondering if the abuses in Abu G are an extension of his sadistic childhood?

Just a question.

9. Thanks! Love thes quote:
"One of the local rituals for children,» reported Nicholas D. Kristof of Life in Midland, Texas, when George W. was a boy, «were meetings with cookies and milk at the home of a nice old lady who represented the SPCA. The cookies were digested more thoroughly than the teachings.»

«`We were terrible to animals,' recalled Throckmorton, laughing. A dip behind the Bush borne turned into a small lake after a good rain, and thousands of frogs would come out. `Everybody would get BB guns and shoot them,' Throckmorton said. `Or we'd put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up.'»

Kristof made plain that «we» explicitly included George W. Bush, and that George W., the Safari Club International «Governor of the Year» in 1999 for his support of trophy hunting, was the leader among the boys who did it.

From the above link.

7. I know this is true! Mommy should have taken him
for a mental health evaluation right then. I guess mommy and daddy thought causing pain and death in any creature was cute (like father, like son). Dahmer abused animals as a kid also. Bush has figured out how to cause pain and suffering on a much bigger scale than most mass murderers. No better way than a horrible war! He also demonstrated a cavalier attitude during all the executions while he was gov. of Texas. Remember that book 'Bush on the Couch"? He is very, very mentally ill!

10. Very interesting article on * here.
http://www.counterpunch.org/stclair08312004.html

<snip>Perhaps, Freud isn't the right shrink for Bush, after all. Maybe the president's pathology is better understood through the lens of Freud's most gifted and troubled protégé, Wilhelm Reich. (I commend to your attention Dr. Reich's neglected masterpiece Listen, Little Man.) Sadly, we cannot avail ourselves of psychological exegises of either Freud or Reich. So Justin Frank, the disciple of Melanie Klein, will have to substitute. In the spirit of his mentor, Frank, author of Bush on the Couch, zeroes in on the crucial first five years of W's existence, where three factors loom over all others: an early trauma, an absent father and an abusive mother. It is a recipe for the making of a dissociated megalomaniac. Add in a learning disability (dyslexia) and a brain bruised by booze and coke and you have a pretty vivid portrait of the Bush psyche.>

...and mommy * wasn't any sweet thing either.....

<snip>How wicked is Barbara Bush? Well, she refused to attend her own mother's funeral. And the day after her five-year old daughter Robin died of leukemia Barbara Bush was in a jolly enough mood to spend the afternoon on the golf course. Revealingly, Mrs. Bush kept Robin's terminal illness a secret from young George, a stupid and cruel move which provided one of the early warps to his psyche.

Her loathsome demeanor hasn't lightened much over the years. Refresh you memory with this quote on Good Morning America, dismissing the escalating body count of American soldiers in Iraq. "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many," the Presidential Mother snapped. "It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?">

....sounds like the whole bunch of them are freaks IMHO.
