If only he listened to his father...eery...
"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant, into a latter-day Arab hero... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever greater instability."

George H. W Bush

Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 11:16 AM by waiting for hope
he and Poppy aren't talking much:

GHW: You dumbass! Haven't you listened to anything I've said?

GW: Stop it Poppy, I'm an adult now and I can make my own decisions, as long as Rover and Dick Man let me......

14. Poppy told jr. that he was fucking up before it happened.
That is why jr. had to plea his wants to a "Higher Father."

5. Heck, if only he had stayed in baseball
If he had continued on his dopey path of screwing up the management of the Rangers, we would all be much better off today. Except possibly for the good people of the Houston, TX area, of course, but they'd have gotten over it. I wish.

12. Actually,
the Texas Rangers play in Arlington, TX. Arlington is a suburb of Dallas, not Houston.

16. Who cares? It's all Texas
and Texas is a state that has been plagued with the Bushes for too long. They need to pack those bastards up and send them back to Kennebunkport. (Of course, I won't be getting any cheers from the people of Kennebunkport for that plan.)

Back in 1999, when I was deluded enough to support Bush, my aunt and I talked about Junior and (sadly, in true Bush-supporter fashion) I brought up Hillary's incident where she "had a friend invest $1000 in the commodities market for her" and walked off with $100,000.

My aunt didn't bother to question whether or not Hillary's huge "profit" was a veiled political contribution (or bribe). She simply replied, "She's a piker. George W. Bush got $6,000,000 off HIS scam."

My aunt was right.

(Not that I saw that at the time, but since then I have told her I realize she was right.)

7. please remember that the bushes are FAMOUS for SAYING ONE THING & MEANING
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 11:21 AM by flordehinojos
ANOTHER.

i bet anything that while the above may have been POPPY'S public stance, his private one may have been an entire grieve and dance song about not having gotten HUSSEIN. I bet that was what the bushie boy heard his POPPY grieve about ever since the GULF WAR... IN FACT, POPPY INTENDED TO GET HIM IN THE DESERT WHILE HUSSEIN WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM KUWAIT. HE DIDN'T DO IT. HE HAD TO LIVE WITH PEOPLE SAYING, WHY DIDN'T YOU FINISH THE JOB? THE BUSHES DON'T LIKE TO BE CRITICIZED and POPPY BUSH AIN'T THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR THAT HE PRETENDS TO BE, OR THAT MANY ASSUME HIM TO BE...IN FACT, OLE POPPY IS JUST AS TARNISHED AS HIS DEAR BUSHIE BOY.

15. You have a good point, Bushies have a pitiful power thing
going on. If poppy can't shut bitchy barbara up I figure they love what she says. The boys are hiding behind her Big skirt. That is a sick family. The worst part of this story is how stupid they are. They have no respect for anything but power, they shout that those that disagree with them are unpatriot. It's the old black is white angle, tell the sheep/flock anything and they will believe it. So far it has worked. The flock wants to "believe", it's so easy that way, no thinking required. It's about to hit their bank accounts. They still won't think, they will just get pissed and vote against who ever is in power when they are broke. Poppy affected their bank accounts and he was out. Dumb, dumb people.
