Was Bush ever a Boy Scout?
The guy canceled two times due to heat and yet countless boy scouts suffered from the heat while waiting. If he respected scouting, this would not have happened.

3. Considering
"Trustworthy" is the first part of the Scout law, I'd say he wasn't.

4. What a fucking pampered asshole.
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 08:53 PM by Clark2008
If he's in such "perfect" health as his damned doctors claim, why can't he go out onto a stage for fricking 30 minutes to talk to a group of young men and boys?

Geez-us-H-cah-reist-on-a-stick.

What a Little Lord Fauntleroy.

The boys should have gotten their merit badges in rope-tying by holding this wimp for the authorities.

6. No, but he was in the Boy Scout Guard
Sadly, he never showed up...set a precedent that continues to this day.

21. Doubtful. Parent volunteers are neccessary to organize & lead the troop.
Parents are usually not around at prep schools to sponsor and be involved in a troop.

11. Don't know but
a friend of mine said Bush was his Little League coach. Seems kind of odd since he doesn't have any sons, but that's what he told me.

14. Little girls can join Little League.
I don't know if either or both of the twins ever did.

But he likes baseball, so it wouldn't surprise me that he'd try to coach LL to get himself out of the house and doing something that leads to having some beers afterwards.

13. But apparently his succubus mother managed
to sneak by and become a den mother. But I don't know if it was for him or Jeb or Neil or the other one.

19. No way, their program is too demanding.
He woud have never lasted. Plus, he has never had any of the morals and ethics, values that the Boy Scouts promote.

20. Let's Count: 1) He Blew Firecrackers in Frogs' Asses
2) He partied out of the Air National Guard during wartime.

3) (I just don't want to continue... )



Although, if I did, it would be something like he's caused 1000 U.S. dead and 100,000 Iraqi dead, AND 5 or 6 Scouts DEAD. But that's just me.

22. He wasn't a cowboy
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 10:50 PM by DanCa
And the closest he came to being a ranger was buying a baseball team.

24. That would have required some degree of
participation or commitment from Babs and Poppy. Highly unlikely they had any quality time to spend with their offspring.

26. When he did show up it's apparent that he's a Military recruiter.
