Question on Bush being boo'd at funeral
Just wondering something. I missed a lot of last night's show of Malloy and am listening now and he's talking about Bush being boo'd at the Pope's funeral and all that and was wondering if there is a video of this out there? I'd love to see it!!

2. I wonder if he thinks that now
Ha! What a dork. I wish I could see that though. Malloy was also talking about how they were standing up shaking hands with people around them (I think it was part of a song or something) and nobody would shake Bush's hand. LOL. Finally he just got someone and was like "shake my hand!" :eyes:

3. According to the account I read, he didn't hear the boos
There was a gigantic video screen set up for the crowd outside St. Peter's. When they showed Idiot's face, the crowd whistled and booed.

He was safely tucked inside, and I doubt he could hear anything over the chanting.

Too bad, because somebody needs to tell him how much his policies are hhated all over the world.

4. Sad
Maybe he got a little taste when nobody would shake his hand during part of the ceramony (I think it was during a song or something? I'm listening to the archived of Malloy's show from last night and he told about how he saw this on some channel).

5. Oh, I think he knows.
In fact, I know he knows. I recall one trip he made, I think it was last year. Bush was headed for Ireland, for one reason or another (who knows?). Remember? it was the one where there was a meeting with Bertie Ahern in an Irish castle. Bush got scolded by a young female reporter. I don't know if this even made the news but it was a big deal in Europe.

Anyway, someone was prowling outside the castle late at night. Bush was spending the night at the castle. This "prowler" was a tabloid photographer from some London (leave it to them! - always up for a juicy story).

The photographer got a photo of Bush standing by the window, in his underwear. Bush was looking out. The paparazzi caught Bush standing there. What we saw was a man, a very small man mind you, frozen with fear. His eyes showed the TRUE, unvarnished Bush as he raised his hand to pull down the shade.

The photo told me everything I needed to know. Here he was, far from home, feeling unsafe in an unsafe world he has helped create. Riveted with fear which haunts him day and night.

As the spirits of the dead Iraqis file past him, one by one, they hover past Bush before they prepare to depart this world....

I think he knows too. That's why he has this whole "I don't care about polls" attitude and how he has all the security he does and his staged town hall meetings and all that crap. I wonder if the second debate was staged too with people who were only for Bush. :shrug: It's also why the neocons have control over the MSM. Sometimes I wonder if he knows about how things are staged here in this country. I think he definietly is aware that he is not liked in other countries but sometimes I wonder about here in the States. Do you happen to have the picture of this? I'd love to see that.

7. I saw more of an empty, dumpy little man twiddling blankly about
in his undies. Vacant, hollow, slack-jawed, a tad nervous, vacuous little chimpanezee.
At least he had his shirt on--not that it matters, we saw what should absolutely not be seen on the Abraham Lincoln.
