Bush senior dubs Moore a 'slimeball'
Former president George HW Bush has attacked filmmaker Michael Moore for "lies about my family" in Fahrenheit 9/11.

Bush sat down for an interview with WCSH-TV and didn't hold back when asked his opinion of Moore, one of the nation's best-known leftist activists.

"Total ass, slimeball," Bush said.

It's "outrageous, his lies about my family."

Bush was interviewed last week and the interview aired tonight.

Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 attacked President George W Bush's handling of the war on terrorists, his decision to go to war in Iraq and highlighted the Bush family's ties to the Saudi royal family.

He is an evil man controlled by a group of right wing corporate fanatics. They worship before an alter made of gold. They are the modern day Dathans.

Otherwise, Poppy, you're blowing wind.

His family are turds and criminals.
Well cry me a fcuking river.

------Bush said he used to have ulcers in the 1960s. "A couple of more weeks of this stuff and I´ll get ´em back. I´m nervous. It hurts much more when your son is criticized," the former president said.------

H's piece of shit son is criticized because he's an imbecile.

Thousands of innocent people are dead because of this monster who likes to play war presidunce.

Didn't some agency say a private jet did leave the states when all other aircraft were grounded?

11. Such dignity...
:eyes:

funny thing how the guys on his side were much more relentlessly harsh against Clinton and his family, yet I don't recall - ever - comments like "ass," or "slimeball"... even when those words were warranted. Dignity... and lack there of.

16. I read your account -- it sounded wonderful!
I was lucky enough to be at part of a speech he gave in Vancouver, before his last 2 movies came out. Even then, the lineup for tickets stretched clear around the block. And he made a point of staying until he'd signed a book or something for everybody.

15. If Moore's film is full of lies
Bring on the lawsuits. Name calling while ignoring the facts is what the ass family dynasty is all about.

Moore has backed up his facts on Columbine and 9/11 repeatedly. But like everything else, the critics keep repeating lies about Moore's work, and the morons buy it.

Let's see. . . . His son Neil ripped all of us off with the S & L scandal in the 1980s and was never punished. GWB*. . . Well, I'm not even going to go THERE as we ALL know what that fuck has done. . . G. Bush's bug-eyed whore of a wife is a monstrous asshole from hell. . . His other son, Jeb, managed to steal a U.S. presidential election by disenfranchising minority voters. . . . And let's see. . . . G. Bush's grandaughters--how many of them have been arrested? Oh, and let's not forget George Bush Sr's culpability in selling arms to Iran for the release of hostages and using the proceeds to illegally fund a right-wing militia in Nicaragua to overthrow a democratically elected government. And all this ugly drama within one family that dares to call somebody a "slimeball" for having the courage to call a spade a spade. . . G. Bush should be put in jail at the very least. He's gotten off scott free for everything he's ever done, and his sons have all turned out even worse than the elder fucker did. But, I suppose when we look at the parents, the old adage is true that the apples never fall too far from the tree, do they?

30. Here is a pic of Mafia boss Licio Gelli, currently charged with
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 10:05 AM by emad aisat sana

murder of "God's Banker" Roberto Calvi, after 22 years of "it was suicide" stories after the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano.

The Rome trial was adjourned in April this year after City of London police found 70 boxes of new, previously undisclosed evidence about the notorious P2 Lodge (a pedophile cult gang linked to Freemasonry).

Poppy did a deal in the 1960s with Gelli which let the P2 Lodge off the hook for a huge backlog of terror related crimes and eventually resulted in the Mafia robbing their own bank, Ambrosiano.

A turf war ensued and in June 1982 Calvi, managing director of Ambrosiano, was found hanged under lackfriars Bridge in London.

Gelli and three accomplices were charges late last year and the Rome trial began in early 2004.

Poppy must have been feeling pretty uneasy when this occured.

But life is about to take an even more unpleasant turn for him:

Gelli has a son in the UK, Henri, who was given a fake ID over 40 years ago when Poppy did a deal with MI6 to cover up sex crimes in the UK perpetrated by a small but nasty bunch of GIs stationed there.

Henri Gelli is a gangster and former IRA quartermaster, in charge of money laundering and recruitment of South American and Middle Eastern terror-related gangs.

After Calvi's murder in 1982, the Mafia turf was escalated.

Henri Gelli had a daughter in the UK with a woman who in the 1980s became a high profile career politican's wife. That daughter was given top notch references by various Tory Party members and got a job in MI5, the intelligence service.

Posing as an estate agent, she made contacts with various IRA-type sympathisers involved in property fraud and money laundering.

She was Suzy Lamplugh:

REAL NAME MARIA GELLI.

However, when she first joined MI5 she was under surveliiance after UK Special Branch police learned she had been paid to find out what MI5 held on Poppy, his links with foreign organised crimes networks, recruitment of non-Christian terrorists and US-based financiers of terrorism. Also to discover what security/intelligence there might be about Junior and his link to what is euphemistically now called Al Qaeda - a loose term made up by the CIA after 9-11 to band together Muslim extremists involved in extortion, racketeering and terror.

Lamplugh "disappeared" in the Shorrolds Road area of Fulham, South West London on 28 July 1986 and despite a protracted police investigation (which initially focused on killer John Cannan) the matter was never fully resolved. Officially.

Today, the City of London police are close to arresting Lamplugh's killer, who is believed to be a close male relative of Margaret Thatcher, and was contracted to kill Lamplugh after she started talking about her work with MI5.

The prime suspect is also closely related to Cherie Blair and was involved in a massive property theft and money laundering scam with her during the early 1980s.

What does this have to do with slimeball Poppy? Licio Gelli, his son Henri and grand daughter Maria (Lamplugh) were all working for the KGB and UK police now have evidence to show that Poppy arranged their cover with the CIA after doing a deal with the Stasi head Marcus Wolf.

Also of note, Gelli is listed as being a director of BCCI Holdings, the parent company of BCCI collapsed bank, along with ex-CIA head Richard McGarrach Helms and mega UK crook Robert Maxwell.

The BCCI class action in London will be hearing evidence gagged by the UK security/intelligence services since the 1990-1 collapse of BCCI. This has been subpoenaed after a bitter and protracted fight which the Law Lords ruled last year was not protecting UK security interests but rather the political careers of Thatcher, Major and noiw Blair...........

Slimeball, indeed. Eat you heart out, BFEE......Gelli babies all love Poppy...
