"Emotional Bush Cracks Jokes + CRIES Over His Portrait"
Emotional Bush Cracks Jokes in Texas

A tear or two spilled down President Bush's cheek Friday as he saw his portrait unveiled in the Texas state Capitol and reflected on his "joyous six years" as governor.

"I'm going to take that can-do Texas spirit to Washington, for however long I'm there, and remind people that results are what matters," the president said.

On Monday, he closes a 12-day holiday at his central Texas ranch and returns to Washington to face a politically fractious election year.

But Friday was for nostalgia as his gubernatorial portrait took its prominent place on the first floor of the Capitol rotunda, beside that of Democrat Ann Richards, the incumbent Bush unseated in 1994 after a bitterly fought race.

"It is amazing for me to think -- when I step back and think -- that this will be hanging here forever," Bush said. "I just hope Governor Richards doesn't mind being my neighbor for eternity."

...it just might be this administration's exit strategy. And the guy is dumb, but he must be smart enough to wonder if his daddy's ex CIA buddies -- the ones who started this Afghanistan thing -- are looking at him and thinking 'sacrificial lamb' (should we call GHWB 'Abraham'?).

He'd probably be more valuable to Republicans as a martyr, a la JFK, then as an incumbent with the albatrosses of a crappy economy, escalating global tensions, and Enron 'round his neck.

I know, I know...tin foil hat.

9. "Actually, if you listened carefully..."
in his speech today he made a couple of fatalistic comments (while not trying to tell a joke). One struck me as particularly odd was (paraphrasing) "no matter how long I'm in Washington."

I think he's been very fatalistic since the Christmas holidays began. There's no doubt he sees this "job" as a temporary one.

46. "Just keep it handy..."
Just keep that tin foil hat handy.

You know why there are no closeted gay people in the Bush family? There are too many skeletons in their closet.

Remember how Cheney actually resembled a living being when he was talking about how he was running the country while George W. Bush was running away? He knows damn well that unless George W. Bush is bumped off he's in the highest office he'll ever be in, no matter how many parts are replaced.

He'd just love a chance to be in the big chair officially, even when he knows he'd never get re-elected.

George W. Bush might be a favorite son, but I would watch my back around Poppy, if he were my father. The man's face has "back-stabber" written on it in Dayglo letters.

Jeb is wearing the albatross for getting his brother elected. Wouldn't it be really nice if his brother got bumped off, so any Democratic competitor (Janet Reno) would look soulless for bringing up how his dead brother got appointed after Jeb conspired to deny so many Floridians of their Constitutional rights?

Laura gets to play Jackie Kennedy. He even left in her D.C. while he made that sudden trip to Florida. It might have been her in the rubble instead of Pentagon employees. Since she has a husband who is a disgrace and daughters that are a disgrace she has to have SOMETHING to look forward to.

Trent Lott stands to be given the nod to become the V.P. This gives him the tie-breaker in the Senate. Considering that he knows damn well that he'll never live long enough to see the Republicans regain a majority, it's the highest office he can hope to hold. He'd just love to trump Dachle's card and it's the only way he'll ever do it again.

Karl Rove would get to dispose of the dummy he's had on his knee all these years. Old Dick would keep him around till the show leaves town and he could look for some other dim-bulb to guide to power.

The CIA, NSA and FBI would get to make weepy faces and call for new ways to invade privacy, on top of the invasions they won from 9/11. Ashcroft will be in place to squash any anti-gun bias that rises out of the "lone gunman" who they get to do the job.

Maybe they could even spin it in a way that lets them declare martial law, thereby continuing the show that would close when this boatload of criminals and co-conspirators faces the 2004 elections.

And George W. Bush knows that he will go down with the highest approval ratings possible. A beloved figure, with Republicans wanting to name everything after HIM, not Ronald Reagan.

The only way for him to avoid facing the humiliation of a landslide defeat in 2004 is to not be there to run. He will have visions of being named along with Lincoln and Kennedy.

He'd sign on to this scenario in a friggin' heartbeat. If not, Karl Rove would just sign on to it for him.

Yeah, it's a tin foil hat scenario. And if I told you in July that by October George W. Bush would have the highest approval ratings possible you'd have called me a nut-burger. If I told you in 1999 that the Supreme court would be assigning the next President of the U.S. you'd have thought I was ready for the rubber room.

Tell me anything about the Bush family and the rapacious horde of criminals they ride with that ISN'T a tin foil hat idea before you see it in the newspaper.

Through violence you may murder the liar,but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

50. "It's really sad to see and to say"
but we are all witnessing the unraveling of a President. Same kind of breakdown that Nixon had. Imagine what Bush would be like if he had to face the same kind of hounding that Clinton had to face. With everything going his way, he still can't handle it.

25. "How right you are, Joe"
I live in the Washington, DC metro area, so the Washington Post is my paper of choice. (Like I'm going to read the Moonie times. Right!) Conservatives constantly harp on the Post being so "liberal," and frankly, I have no idea what they're talking about. Recently, page 2 has been turned into the Smirk puff/propaganda piece, touting his vacations and such. Today, it was the portrait unveiling. And all of this is always under the banner "National News."

It feels like they're trying to pump up der Fuehrer or something. I don't get it, but it's sure pissing me off.

"I'm going to take that can-do Texas spirit to Washington, for however long I'm there, and remind people that results are what matters," the president said.

He's been in office for a year and he's *going to* take his can-do spirit to Washington. Yeah, just as soon as he's used up his three years of vacation time. Prick.

Think I'm kidding--look at his "But all in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me." bon mot to sum his year.

Only a self-centered egotist would feel compelled to step over corpses to crow about what a successfull year He's had.

This only confirms it, He thinks He's God. That's why I'm going to start capitalizing pronouns that refer to Him.

21. "Picture of Bush crying"
I posted a horrible and very close up picture of Bush that was taken as he was shedding crocodile tears over his own picture. It is on the general discussion forum if anyone cares to see how awful his lying face looks. I don't know how to link that.

I like the last paragraph here--laughable

Before catching Marine One back to his secluded 1,600 acres in Crawford, Bush mused about a simpler future: "One of these days, I'll be back, settled in, sitting on my porch in Crawford, looking for somebody to come and recount old war stories with."

Who the hell is he going to exchange old war stories with? He never fought in a war--in fact there is a lot of evididence that strongly suggests he went AWOL and was booted out because he failed to take a mandatory physical exam, and thereby avoided a drug test. So who is his war fighting buddy? Cheney? LOL--Cheney had five deferments. Maybe he and Cheney will sit on the porch and laugh about how they duped the Americans into believing there was justification for killing three thousand Afgans--he kind of likes that stuff, you know.

--whoever--I am sure the telling of these "old war stories" will involve Bush smirking and laughing his head off. He may even try to imitate an Afgan woman pleading for the life of herself and her children.

39. "What the hell is he doing crying?"
He cried over the death of that solider the other day -- which is inappropriate, as he's the commander in chief of the US military, and fucking offensive, and it was pretty forced.

He cried over his portrait -- becuse it's all about ego with him. The Bush family name, and all that crap.

What the hell does the president think he's doing, crying? The president does not cry. And certainly not in these circumstances. He's supposed to be a leader.

40. "Agreed"
What is going on with the "crying Bush'? Can you picture FDR, JFK or even Reagan crying all the time? At the unveiling of a painting that makes him look like a cross between a frat boy and Paul Sorvino? Two possible theories...1. Tranquilizers or booze are messing with his emotions or 2. Karen Hughes instructed him to cry in order to make him look more "compassionate".

Just counting the past 12 months, he's turned on the waterworks in public at least half a dozen times. And it's always something about HIMSELF that makes him start sobbing -- he doesn't cry for other people.


Thanks to robbedvoter for posting the Austin article -- I suspected that Bush hadn't actually done a formal portrait sitting (he's way too fidgety).

51. "he remembered that"
clinton cried, and people loved him for it. so bush is trying it out.

or
<adjusting tinfoil hat...NOW>

he is actually breaking up because he realized that this soldier, doing a job that W couldn't hack even in the guard, was killed so that Bush1 could make more money from oil. He is realizing that he is a pawn in a game greater than he is, and is feeling out of control...no, that can't be it...

44. "More and more often, he looks drunk ..."
And he sounds drunk.

Could that be at the root of his problem?

The gin blossoms are blooming like it's spring time, frequent vacations, frequent verbal gaffes, frequent rambling. And he looks like shit. His face is getting puffy.

Could he be having a serious relapse?

45. "Why bush is crying so much lately? Here are my guesses."
1. They don't even tell him where Herr Cheney is hiding....
2. He is worried Cheney will kick off during the present "crises."
3. His buddie at Enron won't be able to funnel him money in 2004.
4. He has no coattails and won't get more Repugs in office in 2002.
5. He is way out of his league as the appointed leader of the country. He should never have left the little league (Texas).
6. The twins Jenna and Tonic will soon be 21 and can legally drink themselves into alcoholic stupors just like their old man.
7. Being installed into the presidency is not as much fun as they told him it would be.
