Did Bush Sr. make a klan joke?

[patcox2]

Someone wrote yesterday that Bush Sr. made a crack about how his speech is going to be shorter than planned because he "forgot a sheet."

Did he really use the word "sheet?" Is anyone else shocked by that? Noone says "as sheet of paper" any more, they say a "page."

Its as bad as Bush telling Coretta, when she presented him with a protrait of Martin, "I can't wait to hang it."

I can just see the two immature arrogant psychopaths, father and son, giggling about their clan jokes afterwards, as they seethe with jealousy over the real love shown to the Clintons.

I wouldn't be surprised. The Bush clan are all sadistic.

1. I do not like that asshat but...

he did not mean it that way.

2. I thought he said a page of his speech.

Either way, I doubt it was some sort of veiled Klan joke. You're reading too much into what he said.

3. LOL at that strettttttcccchhhhh.

Give me a break.

13. Agreed - there is plenty of real stuff to hang on him

We have plenty of real issues that we can tag on Bush without having to invent them.

4. It may be your lucky day, I've lost a page

That was what he said so I don't think we have an issue here.

5. (put on Hannity hat) OMFG Bush Sr is a Racist! Its obvious! (remove hat)

6. Okay, teach me to rely on secondhand report.

Someone in one of the threads yesterday did quote him saying "sheet," which really struck me. The boy really did say he couldn't wait to "hang" the portrait of Martin, which clearly was a cruel, idiotic, mean crack.

7. I wonder

just how political that old fart poppy's funeral is going to be.

I don't think he meant it to be racist. He is just an arrogant, insensitive asshole, like everyone else in his family.

8. Oh for the love of...

OK, so he's a jerk with lizard lips...

He did NOT make a Klan reference there.

Jeeeze.

9. I use the word "sheet" and I don't know anyone who says "page"

quit trying to make an issue of a non-issue

10. Jeanine Pirro said "page"

“Hillary Clinton,” she continued, and looked down at her notes. She then paused, mid-sentence, and said nothing. She shuffled through her notes, as seconds passed. Reporters shifted in their seats. Photographers flashed their cameras.

Then, in a muffled voice, Pirro asked her staffers, “Do you have page 10?”

Welcome, Ms. Pirro, to primetime.

But I agree with you. It is a non-issue.

11. If Bush, Jr. said

something like that, I might agree. But Bush, Sr. isn't into making mean jokes like that. He probably didn't mean anything by it.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Who knows with junior

It might be another "inside joke" like the hanging moment.

[Lars39]

14. I've been trying to re-read the threads to see where that was said.

I think it was on thread 5 or 6.

15. Actually, I say sheet quite a lot
