Bush chides father for election remarks

33 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush gently admonished his father for saying he hates to think what life would be like for his son if the Democrats win control of Congress in the November 7 election.

It was the latest sign of possible strain in the relationship between the two men.

"He shouldn't be speculating like this, because -- he should have called me ahead of time and I'd tell him they're not going to (win)," a smiling Bush told ABC "This Week" in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

It follows the recent release of a book, "State of Denial," by journalist Bob Woodward, that says the 82-year-old former president was "anguished" over how the Iraq war has played out, although he has dismissed that account.

Earlier this month, the elder Bush was reported to have told a Republican fund-raiser in a Philadelphia suburb that "if we have some of these wild Democrats in charge of these (congressional) committees, it will be a ghastly thing for our country."

9. there is so much speculation about the old guy being "anguished" over his

son's misdoings. please! the old man said, and this came out of his own mouth, with his own words and through his own thoughts, "I support my son with every fiber of my being"!

10. W, like Stalin, knows it's not who votes, but who counts the votes that

counts. Just like before the 2004 election when W knew for certain he was going to win (wish I had a link), he knows who is still counting the votes, making it a certainty that 'pukes will still control of both houses and, but wow, we the people are going to be taught real some hard lessons for the best of neoconitis is yet to come.
