Bush: "I DON'T WORRY. I HAVE PEACE OF MIND."


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050602/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_interview_4

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday that he doesn't spend much of his time worrying but that he does fear for Americans and others in insurgency-wracked Iraq and for the safety of his 23-year-old twin daughters.....

"I worry about letting these little girls get into a situation where something unpleasant could happen to them," Bush said. "We're pretty much over the anger — not anger, the frustrations — of living in a fishbowl."

He also joked that he used to worry about wife, Laura — "until she got an 85 percent popularity rating." Mrs. Bush's popularity is nearly double her husband's and the first lady has taken on a more outspoken, high-profile role in Bush's second term.

But, Bush added: "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

4. Well that explains everything, doesn't it?
"I've got mine, so fuck you" should be the Republican motto.

17. Exactly!

Why should he be worried that much of the planet DESPISES our country, our poverty rate has INCREASED, the middle class is dwindling, & our deficit is at a historical high? He's got his.

And then of course, there are MILLIONS of children starving, dying of preventable diseases and being mass murdered around the globe. Not worried? What a sick, apathetic fuck, he is. Sociopath, no doubt.

Why, he'll be back to playing video games and snorting coke in less than four years time. What does he have to worry about?

12. TEARING...HAIR...OUT....
GOD, and I was just about to take a break from this absolute odiousness, and try to relax.

The shame and embarrassment I feel about Bush just came back to hit me in the face again. There are no words.

19. Another example of him debating himself
He goes from this:
"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis," Bush told The Associated Press and other broadcasters in an interview.

to this:
But, Bush added: "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

You don't know what's going on in that worthless brain of yours do you? How can any human being with even a shred of compassion have peace of mind after lying his way to tens of thousands of lives lost.

25. I worry about letting these little girls get into a (unpleasant) situation
Oh, you mean like maybe they might get assaulted while butt dancing?

You're really ignorant, bush. Ignorance is bliss. To be blissfully unaware is to have peace of mind.

32. If he's not worried
why does he spend a small fortune on security everytime he appear in public. His security for foreign visits cost millions. He's the biggest personal coward in the history of the presidency.

36. Another reference to his "little girls."
In normal families, 23-year-old girls are adults. In wacko bushworld, adulthood doesn't begin until sometime in the 40s. The bush klan is one super-fucked-up family.

44. OH WELL THAT'S GOOD.
I'm CERTAINLY glad he can say HE'S got peace of mind. He must have NO mind to be able to sleep at night knowing his orders are responsible for the deaths of thousands for NO FUCKING REASON.

My God. The humanity.
