....Calling it one of the highlights of his presidency, Mr. Bush said what struck him most intensely was the final scene of a plain-looking casket with the sun pouring down on its seal.

1. It couldn't have been the boo-ing. He must be

used to that by now. :eyes:

[tnlefty]

6. I've been away all day. Was he really booed?

He's so well liked and all, ya know?

[babylonsister]

14. Yep. Lots of threads on it-here's one:

21. Thanks, I saw one a few minutes after I asked you about it....

she says sheepishly.

[Fenris]

2. Spoken like the true antichrist.

[saracat]

3. So the Pope's funeral was arranged for Bush?

Did the Pope plan this timely exit. Please. What a jackass. The funeral had nothing to do with his fraudulency.

[smoogatz]

4. Right up there with 9/11

What a moron.

10. "All in all 2001 has been a fabulous year for Laura & myself"

5. IDIOT - you can always ocunt on W to say somethng with more

complete unabashed stupidity than anyone ever thought possibe.

7. I'd be embarrassed as hell if I was booed at the pope's funeral!

* should be hanging his head in shame, shame, shame.

I've been very sad about the death of pope John Paul.

May he rest in peace and may the face of * be permanently erased from his everlasting life.

:kick:

[merbex]

8. Did he say that because he wouldn't have to listen to the Pope

criticize him any more regarding executions,unjust wars,or a better interpretation of Jesus and the Gospels?

Very Freudian

[elperromagico]

11. Maybe he thinks that he gets to appoint the next Pope.

Wouldn't surprise me if he did.

[asjr]

13. I think he is just practicing his comedy routine so he can

go into show business after he is out of office.

Latest neocon target: The Vatican
The neocon strategy to ensure their candidate is selected pope
By Wayne Madsen
Online Journal Contributing Writer
April 5, 2005—The international neoconservative movement, already giddy over their bloodying the nose of the United Nations and Secretary General Kofi Annan in the overhyped Iraq "oil for food" brouhaha, the nomination of anti-UN wacko and Jesse Helms sycophant and racist John Bolton as the next US ambassador to the UN, and the comb-licking and dandruff-munching Paul Wolfowitz's selection as World Bank president, is now involving itself in the internecine politics that will highlight the selection of the next pope.

22. GREAT read thanks!

[elperromagico]

9. With a disapproval rating of 54%, highlights are hard to come by.

You take what you can get.

[Stirk]

12. I've actually developed a resistance to moronic Bush statements.

It's like he has a new one every day. The idiot can't open his mouth without making some new verbal blunder- and they're always a distinctive mix of stupidity, dyslexia, disinterest, TV culture, and impropriety.

[KamaAina]

15. Now if two more religious leaders die, he can have a trifecta!

What a :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: !!!

edit: speling

[Nothing Without Hope]

16. Stupid remark, could be taken to mean he's glad the pope's dead

After all, there was that inconvenient business of the Pope opposing torture, the Iraq war, excecution of all those Texas prisoners, so many favorite blivet** hobbies. I LOVED the way Jon Stewart so perfectly caught the administration toadies trying to spin this in the must-see 10 minute video by dzika:

17. HIGHLIGHT?? Oh for FUCK'S SAKE

.

[Bluebear]

18. And his adoring throng will see nothing amiss with using that word.

[Lisa]

19. well, he did say that 2001 was a "fabulous" year for him ...

I guess it really IS all about George.

[Donailin]

23. Oh wow, I looked at that quote earlier and read it just the way you did

the funeral of the Holy Father of the Roman Catholic Church is the HIGHLIGHT of your presidency???

Yeah sure, I guess, If you're SATAN!
