Karla Faye Tucker or a dying Zarqawi trying to get off of the stretcher...
...which one do you think kept Bush amused for the longest period of time? Which produced the heartiest belly laughs?



For anyone not familiar with Tucker's story, an excerpt from Bush's Death Factory (an article on Common Dreams):

Bush, remember, has gloated about the death penalty in more than just the presidential debates. He is the same Bush who last year ridiculed death row inmate Karla Faye Tucker, whining in mock exaggeration in an interview that Tucker begged, ''Please don't kill me.'' Bush, who has made his Christianity part of his resume, mocked Tucker even though she said she had found Christ.

1. No one has ever aroused in me, the intense level of disgust and dislike
that that evil SOB has.

2. He seems to find his greatest joy in suffering and death.
That and inequality. The whole "haves and have mores...I call you my base" baloney.

I didn't watch the video of the Nick Berg killing, but because of its content...and a few other "greatest hits"...I'm not shedding any tears over Zarqawi. A violent life can end with a violent death. C'est la vie. Whatever is waiting for all of us at the end of our lives was waiting for him, reward in hand. His turn now, our turn later. He's not a hero, he's not a martyr. He was a murderer, and he's gone to a murderer's reward.

Was his death "worth it"...look at how many American men and women in the Military were killed, wounded, maimed for life...physically and emotionally...while Bush merrily biked his way through his presidency. Look at the thousands and thousands of innocent Iraqis who became "collateral damage" in Bush's little "Crusade"...we had the world behind us after 9/11...even when we went into Afghanistan, under the pretense of hunting down Osama, many were still behind us...

...and we threw it all away so Bush could prove that he was better than his daddy. That he could finish the job that his daddy started.

And it's not all about Iraq.

The recent "marriage amendment" attempt to appease the Evangelicals who put him in office (along with Diebold, Florida and Ohio).

Wherever there is death, pain, suffering, inequality, people being kept from building a better life...people working two and three jobs and losing their homes and not being able to put their kids through college...

...there's THIS smirking face.



Belief in Karma keeps me sane...or as close to sane as I'm capable of getting in Bush-Cheney II. Zarqawi got his reward. We all have rewards waiting for us. All of us.

:patriot:

3. A true narcissistic sociopath. He could as easily ended up as a Ted Bundy
as a pRetzledent.

4. Karla Faye Tucker was a friend of mine
Edited on Sun Jun-11-06 02:04 AM by Phrogman
At the time her name was Karla Griffith. She was married to one of my lifelong close friends, Steve Griffith.

They were our neighbors on Palmcrest street in Houston.

Everybody should receive a miracle at least once in their lives, and * denied her hers, and he laughed about it.

By the way, were you folks aware that Karlas Mom hustled p**sy and drugs to the servicemen stationed at Ellington during the early 70's?

She worked the honkey-tonks and drive-thru hotels on Old Galveston road across the street from the main gate of the base.

5. I read somewhere that Karla never "begged"
for her life to be spared. If that is true, it makes Bush even more of a hypocrite.

6. She wouldn't of begged, she would of asked him once.
And she wouldn't have asked again.
