1. He needs to stay put down on the pig farm.

[NMDemDist2]

oh no, that's so sad n/t

2. The Curse of Commander AWOL. Do I smell EVIL ?

Bush's deviant occult AURA kills off the honor of America, then does in an honest cop. The occult facts are in.

That's what happens when you let an AWOL preppy cheerleader who belongs to an occult cabal of corrupt republicon cronies steal the pResidency of your nation and lie you into an oil-profits war.

3. Oh, no!

Why was doofus in Hawaii anyway?

5. Oh, how tragic

His family will probably get a call from Bush now I wonder if he even checked on him at all. I know the motorcade didn't stop.

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. A phone call is about all bush is capable of.

[Catchawave]

15. I think Bill Clinton would have stopped.

Any compassionate President would have stopped.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Yes any compassionate President would have and that lets george out.

I haven't heard of this incident until now, is there a link to this story?

21. Thank you.

25. From the link:

The president apparently saw the injured officers. Moments before leaving he requested an update on their condition from Maj. Stephen Kornegay. The president gave the major a commemorative presidential coin for the hospitalized officer.

Meaning "Here's a nickel."

26. Bush left the officer a coin? I think he owes Charles Dickens a royalty

In the opening of his book A Tale Of Two Cities, a French nobleman throws some coins to a man whose son was killed when the wagon the nobleman was in ran him over.

27. I saw that when I checked the link....

What's even sadder, he gave it to someone "to give" to the fallen officer Bush must carry a bag of these?

[MH1]

24. Kerry did, when similar happened during the 2004 campaign.

But as you said, any compassionate President would have.

12. All so commandeer bunny pants could have a photo op w/ troops

A stinking photo op!

[symbolman]

13. Didn't he give these guys a Presidential COIN?

That's what I heard.. what a deal, gee, maybe he can give the widow a deck of Air Force One cards..

Asshole didn't even STOP.

[Botany]

17. He didn't but the medical team traveling w/ the president did.

Nothing bush could do anyway ....
but this was as he was on his way for a photo
op w/ people who have orders to be nice to him.

What a waste .... a wasted trip to Vietnam & huge
protests in Indonesia and then this?

[symbolman]

29. President CLINTON

Would have STOPPED, but like you said, can't be late for a photo op when you're the head cheerleader..

It's not like the troops aren't pissed enough already, to be LATE would have been BAD.. remember, it's always about FOOD with him if you pay attention

Poor bastard, that cop deserves a LOT better, but since Bush doesn't attend funerals guess he's out of luck.

That asshole is NOT the President. Never was, Never will be.

[Botany]

31. Clinton would have stopped

So would have Kerry, Ford, Gore, Ike, JFK, you, or me but
that man is oblivious to so much around him that does
he does not like and or think is true .....

Sure it was an accident a cop has on a motorcycle crashes
on wet pavement .... not the first or last time this will happen
but it still seems like such a waste ..... a friggin' photo op
where he can rub elbows with the troops he is sending to die
and or kill to support his war based on lies.

I did here that he sent his sympathy to the cop's family.

[symbolman]

33. I agree

but so far his 'sympathies' haven't 'reanimated' a single person that's been killed because of him, even tho he's the Second Coming and all..

Piece of shit. Now and forever.

I'd like to know the truth about this, I have a feeling that the convoy was in such a hurry that they may have forced these cycles into a danger zone, maybe even ignored them.. someone wasn't paying attention, his own Travel Guy got the shit kicked out of him in Honolulu..

Yep, they ALL would have stopped. Imagine the picture of a President on his knees holding a man DOWN in his arms? They don't even see the positive PRESS in that,being a freaking HUMAN BEING, amazing..

23. Another needless tragedy...

more blood on the hands of our fearful leader. This young man's family will never recover from this...and * will never give it a second thought.

[lpbk2713]

28. With regrets to the officer's wife and mother, but ....

AWOL Monkey-Boy doesn't do funerals so don't save a seat for him.

[Poiuyt]

30. Presidential motorcades travel REALLY fast

When Bush came to my city a few years ago, I was surprised at how fast they were going down the main street. I guess in my naivety, I was expecting more of a parade-like speed. They must have been going 50mph. A person on a motorcycle at that speed would sustain some tough injuries.

My condolences to his family

32. Not right

Not fair. Not right. That poor man.
