The Chimp is a coward - please add your examples

[Burma Jones]

He weaseled his way into the National Guard instead of having the balls to either fight in, or oppose, the Viet Nam War

He took a bunch of Bush Family jobs, and failed, rather than strike out on his own and make something of himself

He mocked people about to be executed instead of having the moral courage to at least ponder the seriousness of what he was doing

He was a drunk druggie that had to replace one set of addictions with another (fundie Xtianity) because his Mommy made him do it.

He covers his ears and goes "nyah nyah nyah" rather than own up to the truth that he, at best, made HUGE mistakes that cost thousands of lives

When asked to put up or shut up, this piece of crap only screws up.

He is too much of a coward to be a Mayor, much less President.

1. He is as complicated as a pincushion. He is a chickenhawk !

[JPace]

2. He ran and hid all day on 9-11

leaving the American people to wonder what
was happening and if their government even
cared. It was weird!

[TahitiNut]

3. He used children as human shields in the morning.

He ran into a hole in the ground in the afternoon.

[marano]

4. He dishonors real men who fought in wars like....

John Kerry, John McCain, and Max Cleland.

[Hello_Kitty]

9. And don't forget

Waaah!! I can't do a press conference without Uncle Dick either!!

[Demonaut]

8. a Texan afraid of Horses....lol

10. His campaign rallies are heavily screened. Americans who aren't

like-minded aren't allowed to hear him speak.

[pacalo]

11. He wears a bullet-proof vest.

[pacalo]

12. The number of press conferences he's held can be counted

without taking your shoes off (a little Carville humor). :)

13. The Crawford Coward

Afraid to go to Vietnam, afraid to stay in DC after learning of 2001 threats, afraid to return to DC on 9/11.

One such CIA briefing, in July 2001, was particularly chilling and prophetic. It predicted that Osama bin Laden was about to launch a terrorist strike “in the coming weeks,” the congressional investigators found. The intelligence briefing went on to say: “The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning.”

The White House had announced that Bush would stay at his 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford from Aug. 4 through Labor Day on Sept. 3, a 31-day stretch that would have broken a modern record for a presidential vacation, held by Richard M. Nixon for a 30-day trip to San Clemente, Calif., in 1969. News reports played up the record, and a Gallup Poll found that 55 percent of respondents thought Bush's vacation was too long.

Q.We have pictures of your travel pool on Air Force One looking in horror at this little flat screen, which was back in the plane, seeing the second tower collapse.

THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

Q: I wondered what was going on at about that time in the front of the plane?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thanks for asking. First of all, I learned about the attack -- the second attack; I knew about the first attack when I walked into a schoolroom. I thought it was an accident. And I'm listening to an education briefing, and Andy Card, my Chief of Staff, whispered in my ear, he said, "America's under attack. There's been a second plane crash; America is under attack."

I made up my mind right then and there that if somebody was attacking us, we would respond with the full might of America.

Q: But there was little you could do at that moment, in that plane.

THE PRESIDENT: At that moment, no, there wasn't. You're right. I mean, I was trying to get out of harm's way. We were concerned about threats on the President. We were worried about future attacks, and there's a lot of belief that Flight 93 was headed to the White House.

15. skitters away when faced with the carnage he's wrought

Doesn't attend the funerals of the soldiers he's sent to their deaths. (And he claimed he "comforts the widows", but it seems to be a few selected cases that he uses to boost his own image.)

And when a Canadian reporter asked him about the "friendly fire" deaths of our troops in Afghanistan, he hastily left the room without bothering to answer.

16. Then

...he was cornered on the golf course over it, and bit his lip while offering his usual blank innanities when put on the spot. The man is a walking turnip. and he's rotten
