Wow! It is ALL bush on Every News Channel

[leftchick]

and his "stirring speech" today at VT. Who could have predicted? :eyes:

[durtee librul]

1. What I want to know is why is he the only one who

had to have notes to express 'his deepest sympathies and condolences?'

What a sick excuse for whatever species he belongs to.

[Labors of Hercules]

yeah... why IS that?

like he doesn't really feel anything unless it's written on a sheet of paper? And people think he's sincere???:eyes:

[Cha]

11. People don't think it. The mediawhores and

fascistfundies think it.

[Horse with no Name]

2. I'm shawked, I tell you, shawked!

:eyes:

[JuniperLea]

6. We're screwn!

He'll get a bump in popularity fur shur!

[CJCRANE]

3. I'm guessing this is worth a 3% bump up

in approval (until the next scandal/disaster/atrocity).

[leftchick]

4. I would not take that bet

I seriously think people are sick of him, even in a crisis. His crocodile tears are apparent to a whole new segment of America now. At least I hope so.

[CJCRANE]

10. I hope

you're right.

I thought his speech was reasonable and seemed sincere in the context it was given...

however in the context of the deaths he has directly caused (through his war of choice on Iraq) and indirectly through negligence (9/11, Katrina etc) then yes his sympathy doesn't really ring true.

[Bicoastal]

5. Suprisingly, I'm giving Bush a pass on this.

What's he going to do, not go to the site of a huge national tragedy and make a speech?

Mostly, though, I don't feel like tying him into all of this mess. We've got enough to be angry with him about--no need to overdo it.

[rocktivity]

12. I could give him a pass myself EXCEPT

except that his spokesperson threw a sop to the gun lobby before officially extending his condolances!

:mad:
rocknation

[calimary]

25. Maybe some of us are in shock because he actually attended a

memorial. Actually showed up, and it wasn't even for some famous person. He probably will get a small bump in the polls. Small, and temporary. People forget this stuff, too. Next week it'll be back to Anna Nicole Smith's baby and maybe some rumors that Imus is headed back onto the airwaves somewhere - if not perhaps yet another new scandal or subpoena.

[Mandate My Ass]

7. I think they must have misspoken

they probably were talking about his slurring speech.

[Labors of Hercules]

8. he did sound a bit drunker than usual thish time...

:beer:

[leftchick]

9. lol

no doubt!

[Cha]

19. Yeah, and I'll bet the masses

watching the slurrer were screaming with fists raised at the tube calling for his hypocritalhead.

[onecent]

13. His speech was shit. He talked about how awful the killings, etc....were..

yet...he is destroying the middle east as we speak.

What a pissant.

God, how I hate this man.

[liberal N proud]

14. I puked and turned off the tube

Making me sick, This fucker is taking advantage of the tragedy those poor people are going through.

FUCK YOU GEORGE W. BU$H!

[malaise]

18. You expected anything else

Plueeeeez!

[clydefrand]

15. Bush at VT

I found it terribly disturbing for * to show up expressing his "deep" symathy for the student and families, etc. This is for 32+ people shot on campus. I have never heard a single statement from * about 3600 US soldiers dead, 10's or 100's of thousand Iragi's, etc. that have died in 'HIS' war, brought about because he lied to:
many of his own staff
congress
the UN
our allies
the American people, etc. etc. etc.....
If you listened, his 'speach' sounded good - this means he had NO input into its writting. If he had written or ad libed that, it wouldn't have may any sense at all. I was having my car serviced during his speach and I had to get up and leave the customer lounge - I couldn't take it.
And, being in FL (for another week), I didn't want to start a real fight, assuming the rest of the customers were probably repubs. Well, back to VA in another week were the dems are gaining ground all the time.

16. "healing" words from the mass murderer

how inspiring!
:sarcasm:

[debbierlus]

21. I am with you. And, this country who allows the murders to be perpetrated

Now, are going to seek refuge from the chief executioner?

[reality based]

17. It's the photo ops

The Republican Media Machine is cranking it up once again. Think anyone will compare it to his response to Katrina? I believe we're through with him and with the media as it exists now, too.

[debbierlus]

20. Gross.

Really gross.

Really, really, really gross. I won't watch it. And, if this country doesn't react to outrage to this blatant political pandering, man, we really are truly lost.

Did I say gross?

[malaise]

22. The House is on CSpan

discussing Iraq. I switched a while back. Enough.
Dan Burton is attacking the Speaker re her visit to Syria. He says she violated the Logan Act.

[WiseButAngrySara]

23. If he's so serious about the dead, let him show our troops' coffins,

and spend even a nanosecond of coverage on their heroic lives that have been lost because of him.
They have given their lives by choice, not being the victims of some random act of a madman, except that they were victims of madman B* himself. I have seen coverage of these deceased college students that has surpassed anything that I've seen about these brave young men and women who have given their lives for freedom. B* galls me to the very core of my being.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Watch out! His approval will rocket to a staggering 34 percent!

:wow:
