Not a word from Bush

[spinbaby]

19 Americans dead today--16 in one incident--you'd think Shrubby could say something, even if only to offer condolences to the families of the dead.

[proud patriot]

1. What was it that Barabra Bush said recently

Why burdon herself with such things .

Remember they are only cannon fodder
to the emperor .

[MotorCityMan]

20. * just turns my stomach

I am so disgusted right now I feel ill. I just read an AP article saying how * "refused to comment", and how he was having some "down time" between campaigning (raising money) on Saturday and Monday. 19 soldiers killed and he can't even be bothered to comment.

Probably couldn't sober the mother f*cker up. Didn't he blather on before about hugging the widows?

Oh, man, I feel ill.

[KoKo]

2. He's laying low......low.....low.

Sent the others out to "cover his cowardly butt."

[Sagan]

3. hey, cut him a break...

Hangovers can be rough.

I'm sure that if the Chimp could have staggered out and slurred "9/11" a couple of times to the media whores, he would have.

[JeebusH]

4. Bush: "Bring em' On!!! ... hmmm, just kidding ....."

do you really want to hear from that shithead

[alcuno]

5. If you look at how they operate, this is what they always do...

The September 11th investigation
Valerie Plame
No WMD's
Soldier's deaths

Avoid, avoid, avoid, shift blame, lay low, say little.

28. What amazes and disgust me

the most is that this strategy IS working for him. When was the last you heard of any of these scandals and crimes with the exception of the soldiers deaths. "Bannergate" never even made it to the news that I saw. What a stark contrast to the Clinton years where EVERY lie and rumor was headline news. This is irrefutable proof of the corporate medias agenda and it ain't "liberal".

[lancdem]

6. I've been busy all day

and just learned of this tragedy. Given the escalating violence there, I shouldn't have been surprised, but I'm still shocked. (BTW, I'm not exactly a new user. I got a new e-mail address and decided to register under a new name. I was "diplomats.")

[newyawker99]

30. Hi lancdem!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Resistance Is Futile]

7. Too busy counting all the kickbacks he's getting

Seriously, sociopaths just don't care.

[goforit]

8. His Jack Daniels has him pre-occupied!!!

He's practicing his three worded sentences at the next
stop at an elementery school.

Don't you think preschools are more up his ally?

[Mz Pip]

9. Concentrating on his drive

He's been playing golf in Crawford.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Don't think Bush knows how to fiddle.

MzPip
:dem:

[dbt]

14. I hope to God(dess) he AIN'T a fiddler!

We've got enough false impressions attached to us already to last several more lifetimes without having to add "soulless reptiles" to the list!

:grr:
dbt

[annagull]

10. I thought Presidents were supposed to at least say something

when we lose so many of our soldiers in one incident. Of course, he's not really a president anyway so why should I be suprised.

[nostamj]

23. well, it wasn't 16 Halliburton executives

so what can you expect???

[Gloria]

11. I was wondering about Bush's "non" appearance today....not even

a statement, left it to the ever eloquent Rummy.

If he brushes this off, it will really be a very loud message... a very negative one to country. He is tone deaf....

[VolcanoJen]

12. They issued a Lame Official Statement from Crawford, actually.

I transcribed it from the breathless Fox reporter, you can read it here; but, be warned: :puke: Alert Ahead.

Official White House Reaction to today's events in Iraq (Fox News)

Now, that's finished!!! Back to thinnin' cedar and watchin' Rangers baseball on videotape!!

[peekaloo]

26. They had to reference 9/11

'September 11th taught us that we must confront terrorists and outlaw regimes with weapons of mass murder before it is too late.

-------------------

I'm sure the blood on his hands is attributed to stigmata.

:mad:

[MoonRiver]

13. This has probably sent him over the edge.

This piece of international crap is totally owned by His Lowness. I'm really looking forward to hearing Rove try to spin that quagmire Iraq is 'Clinton's fault' WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Turbineguy]

15. Well, he is his mother's son...

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's, not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" - This is from the former first lady, Barbara Pierce Bush.

[proud patriot]

16. Yeah That's the quote I was refering to ..Thanks

:grr:

[Turbineguy]

17. Momma sez....

Not trying to take the wind out of your sails.

[Don_G]

18. Give His Mouthpiece A Break

I'm sure the guy needs to spend some quality time with his wife churning out "new" Freepers.

Besides, how can anyone "spin" the daily BS from the White House when everyone has something to hide and no one wants to accept responsibility on a 24 Hour/7 Day A Week basis?

[mmonk]

19. I guess it wouldn't make a good photo op.

[Catshrink]

21. The speechwriters are off today? n/t

[Kimber Scott]

22. He's not going to be able to ignore this

much longer. He doesn't go to funerals. He doesn't even offer condolences. And, according to Rummy and Bremer, it's all o.k., because they're killing Iraqis, too. (Today's talking point.)

I think I heard the volume go up on the voice of the American people today. How many more will have to die before that voice turns into a roar and we run these greedy, murderous, lying bastards out of our White House?

Kimber Scott

:grr:

[Faygo Kid]

24. What does he care?

When did he ever care? More cannon fodder; fools to him to advance his power. Too angry to write more. Impossible not to be emotional about this, and all else. America, where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters?

[qanda]

25. Honestly

He probably did us all a favor, because if he came out talking that same crap from last week, we'd all be sick :puke: I guess if two soldiers dying is success to Bush* then losing 15+ signifies our greatest progress to date.

[T Bone]

27. Yes, a very "successful" day in Iraq by Bush's standards and logic

Death, it's what Bush is all about. Also, don't forget that his family and friends are making scad$ of money from this war he started based on lies and Cheney's cooked intelligence.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. he doesn't give a rats ass..as was made evident by his last press conf.

[0007]

31. junior has to know what to say......

...and sneaky dickie ain't awake yet.

[dusty64]

32. Kick.

:kick:

[DoYouEverWonder]

33. Who wants to bet

on how long it will take them to get W sobered up and prepped to make a meaningless statement today? My guess is Karl is pouring cold water on him right now and Karen is slapping him in the face trying to wake him up.
