Slip up or Freudian slip? You decide.

LEHRER: New question, Mr. President. Two minutes.

Has the war in Iraq been worth the cost of American lives, 1,052 as of today?

BUSH: You know, every life is precious. Every life matters. You know, my hardest -- the hardest part of the job is to know that I committed the troops in harm's way and then do the best I can to provide comfort for the loved ones who lost a son or a daughter or a husband or wife.

You know, I think about Missy Johnson. She's a fantastic lady I met in Charlotte, North Carolina. She and her son Brian, they came to see me. Her husband PJ got killed. He'd been in Afghanistan, went to Iraq.

You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

I get the impression that Bush isn't feeling the love he once had from the voting public.

[RevCheesehead]

...unless you're on Death Row in Texas

Asshole.


Might as well begin singing "Every Sperm is Sacred!"

[BootinUp]

7. I thought I heard that, but dismissed it.

Guess I heard right,lol.

No, not freudian, I'm starting to think he sees himself as some kind of sex symbol. :puke:

[TrustingDog]

8. that would be 'mex' symbol.

[featherman]

11. Can you imagine the field day the media would have had

with this weird craziness if Al Gore had misspoken it? Tweety and company would still be laughing at him about it.

[Reciprocity]

13. Forget Al Gore how about if it had been Bill Clinton . n/t

[tridim]

12. Plus, the whole story was a setup

just so bush could have something "touching" to say at the debate.

Hey idiot boy, your stupid decision caused her loved one to DIE.

[pelagius]

14. geez...

...that dead soldier looks like just a kid himself.

[tishaLA]

15. So the woman's name is "Mary' and she goes by "Missy"...

or was that just another chimpy fuck up? I'd really like to find out whether she goes by Missy normally or whether he had this pre-arranged meeting with george and then he didn't even have the decency to remember her fucking name AND THEN tried to pass it off as his folksiness.

[Reciprocity]

16. The The Rude Pundit ...

had some interesting things to say on this as well.

Beyond the widow-fucking, daughter-leashing, TV-watching ways of the leader of the free world, really, and, c'mon, what we watched last night was a stupid man, our President. A petulant little rich fuck who had deigned to step down from his carefully scripted and stage managed events in order to dirty his shoes in the act of defending his policies. A privileged snotnose who couldn't be bothered with explaining himself, who was right simply because he said he was right and we can all go fuck ourselves if we believe otherwise. For more...

[hippiechick]

18. I think it shows his contempt for the un-elite ...

'its hard work trying to love her as best I can' ...

you know, those smelly poor people whose children actually volunteer for military service .... it's just so hard to love the working class ...


:hippie:
