Tony Snow and 2500 - "It's a number" - Hey! Asshole!

"It's a number," White House press secretary Tony Snow said of the grim milestone.

Motherfucker, of the 74 guys I served with ('69-'72), 12 of us made it Home alive.

You telling me that those 62 men (who, by the way, were better and braver than all you chickenshits piled up upon one another could ever hope to be)?

Suck this, you bastard.

How callous.

Snow Jobs' remark clearly demonstrates that they have no regard for the troops. After all,
each of the brave soldiers who died is "just a number" right?

It's about time that this Misadministration began speaking the truth about their lack of respect and frivolous attitude toward our soldiers' lives. They could care less.

I'm sure this remark will go over real well with those who have lost loved ones in this despicable war. NOT!

his feet in his mouth a lot in this new job of his! Not just one foot but both at the same damn time!

Hm mm, I never thought I'd miss Scotty, but at least he didn't do the seismic errors that Snow's been doing!

He seems like a "nice guy" but then he says things that make him sound as dumb as a suitcase of rocks.

"Just a number?" What an awful thing to say. Almost Godless, you might say.

If you get a bad number on your next cancer test.....it's just a number Motherfucker !!!!

Just a number.

And cancer treatments, etc. I've been through it all and didn't exhibit any croc tears such as he did. Hell, I didn't even tell most of my family for quite some time ... didn't want to worry them more than most of the worries they were already dealing with during that time.

Having cancer doesn't make someone a "good" person, and it doesn't make someone a "bad" person. It makes them someone with cancer.

Laura Ingraham's a good example of this. The post-chemo Laura made those remarks about TV reporters in Iraq after one died on the job and another came damn close to it.

On his first day on the job, Tony Snow stood before the assembled White House news media and cried about his colon. Cried. That's his right, of course. He battled cancer. I'm sure that crying is a natural by-product of surviving that ordeal.

But today, when questioned about 2500 dead sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, Crying Tony had no tears. They're just a number.

Tony snow's a man who literally cares more about his own ass than 2500 dead Americans.

Thanks for your service, Tom.

:patriot:

He's awfully selective with what he gets emotional about.

He's just using it in a self-obsessed way to get attention and sympathy! Did the grief-arazzi get a good shot of him crying? He acts as if cancer only happens to him. Is the entire country supposed to marinate in his exquisite personal agony?

It's so damn much easier to write them off when they're just a number.

:(

than honoring our war dead. Would it have killed him to take a more contrite stance? I bet it didn't even occur to him because apparently Tony Snow is sick in the head.

"ASS-A-HOLICS!"

I didn't get to see this, thankfully because it would have made me :puke: but my heart goes out to those that have been affected by this statement, along with a slew of others.

They're showing their true color in full-form now. And, it's breaking hearts, trust me. You're not alone.

Snow the damn freak fool he is , stumbles and stammers and says " 2500 is a number , a benchmark , each 500 men is a benchmark and then people want something from this " I am paraphrasing a bit but if you listen close you will hear this . 500 , a stinking number used as a benchmark ? and people what something ? jesus you are damn right people want something , can't these fools hear with their mouths open ? We want to stop the killing , is that so difficult for them to understand . Maybe we should go down the the soiled off-white house and spray paint this across all the outer walls . What's next ? this was yanked out of someones ass today and tossed out on the people and the day before bushfreak flash lands and hurls himself to a victory in insane stupidity and then has the nerve to fly back here and his god , LET HIM ! Bush you wanted this attack so stay over their and direct it , do the right thing bush , SACRIFICE ! This is an easy word for you to spew out so do it , SACRIFICE YOURSELF for your cause . Don't forget , stay the course , no coming home until the mission is accomplished .

you should Journal this shit.

Do some Original Posts.

Riff on.

Tom

and...(at the risk of sounding redundant..well, you know about welcome to DU and all that stuff..)

Tom

Sonebody's CHILD!!!!

in Iraq and tell them "Your kid was #2,495 -- it's just a number" . . .

Wow I'd like to get this piece of shit alone and introduce to some of the "numbers"

Sick beyond belief.....

...one dead is a tragedy, 2500 dead is just a statistic. As good a time as any for Little Boots to declare, "Not one step backwards".

to show him what 2500 really is.

:cry:

Yep, the troops are just cannon fodder for these guys. The people don't matter. Two thousand, five hundred dead, but that's "just a number".

It would appear that Snow said more than he meant to say.
The Professor

Mentioning the dead is in very poor taste don't cha know?

That was what he said afterward. "It's a number. And every time there's one of these 500 benchmarks, people want something."

That's right Tony, it's just a number. Keep telling yourself and the country that. It'll make this whole nightmare go away and it'll make all those dead soldiers' families put it all in perspective. After all, it's just a number, right Tone?.


Oh, and p.s.,

YEAH, I DO FUCKING WANT SOMETHING!!!!! I WANT THE WAR TO END!!! I WANT THE KILLING, LYING, TORTURING, MANIPULATION AND OBFUSCATION TO FUCKING STOP!!!! RIGHT NOW, YOU ARROGANT MOTHER-FUCKER!!!!

How do we nominate him for the top ten conservatives?
