3. It was during a rally
The confetti was let go too early when Bush said god bless to someone who was there.

It was supposed to be released later.

5. Yup
To make it worse, the confetti flew up when he was talking about 9/11 victims...

BUSH EVENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: Event workers had been told to fire off confetti pods when Bush said, 'God Bless'... his normal closing line. But 5 minutes before the end of his speech, Bush offered a "God Bless" to Arlene Howard, mother of George Howard a Port Authority of New York/New Jersey Police Officer killed in the World Trade Center... BLAM!!!!! Everyone first ducked -- hard -- then looked up to see confetti falling. Bush looked momentarily stunned, then plain unhappy, then just went on with his speech as the confetti rained to the floor of the Verizon Wireless Arena... Developing...

6. Almost makes me think God is against him
Since "God" was the cue that was supposed to be used for the confetti to go off. Maybe God is sick of Bush* using Him.

11. Perhaps Bush now regrets indiscriminate and frequent invocation of god
in his political speeches.

It's sort of funny that all his god talk is going to put another nail in this administration's reelection coffin.

13. Premature release from the wimps!!!!

It was so obvious that the warmongering is just attempt-as-machismo overcompensation for the shortcomings (pun intended) of these wimps.

16. He looked scared to me, like he thought it was a gunshot.
Apparently the cue was "God Bless You" and he said it too soon. I guess he invoked the name of the Lord one too many times...
