NO hugs...NO kisses...just a pat on the back, a handshake, and 30 seconds
Bush Faces Tricky Political Situation in Florida
By JIM RUTENBERG
Published: May 9, 2006



http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/09/us/09cnd-bush.html

SUN CITY CENTER, Fla., May 9 — President Bush and his brother continued their awkward dance today with Representative Katherine Harris of Florida, whose run for the Republican Senate nomination this year they have met with chilliness.

Ms. Harris was on hand this morning to meet President Bush as he stopped in Tampa en route to a Medicare event in this nearby, senior-rich town — just one day after Governor Jeb Bush said publicly that he did not believe Ms. Harris could win against the Democratic incumbent Senator here, Bill Nelson.

Jeb Bush was there, too, as Ms. Harris waited for the president to walk off Air Force One in Tampa, and the two seemed friendly as they chatted in the receiving line on the tarmac, according to a pool report.

After saying hello to his brother and straightening his tie, the president shook hands with Ms. Harris and spoke with her for roughly 30 seconds, with Ms. Harris talking far more than the president, who did not kiss her or put his arm around her — or do anything more than pat her on the back. An aide to the president said later that they were only speaking about "the weather," and a spokesman for Ms. Harris refused to divulge the details of the conversation.

1. Man, now I've really got a dilemma
I mean, that vile woman did us all wrong, so there aren't enough bad things that can happen to her.

But, there's Fuckface dissing her, and, well, I hate Fuckface more than I hate Harris.

What to do?

What to do?

I GOT IT!

I hope they both explode while I'm writing this.

10. I wonder....this is probably her first experience...
with the republican 'trickle-down' policy...one of life's lessons she's learning rather late....better to be pissed off...than pissed on.

5. Last night on Countdown with Keith Olbermann...
...they were talking about Bush's "loyalty"...I believe in the context of what may or may not happen with Karl Rove. The conclusion was that Bush is loyal, but when the time comes to cut you loose, he CUTS...YOU...LOOSE, Stretch...

7. No honor among some thieves, I guess.
At least Don Corleone remembered the people who had done him a favor. But not Bush.
