his daddy to Asia for him is because he is afraid that if he were gone that Ohio will be contested by senators without him here to bully us? (which hopefully it will be challenged, come on everyone keep up the faith :) )

2. I think the only reason he included Poppy
...was so that he didn't have to totally rely on Bill Clinton to get his ass out of jail free. He was trying to make it an ex-Prez thing, only problem was, he forgot the HUMANITARIAN IN CHIEF, Jimmy Carter.

Lame ass cover, that's what he was going for.

The weecowboy has no intention of going to the site of the tragedy, at least not for a while. It's too disease-ridden, they need the airfield aprons for humanitarian flights, and there's no damn security. Plus, the people do not want him there....they'd probably ignore their hunger, thirst and bowel disturbances and rise up to protest him.

The GOP senators will protect him--some will do it grudgingly, but they will cover for him nonetheless. He may be an asshole, but he's THEIR asshole.

I too was wondering WHY Jimmy Carter wasn't invited?

13. I think he did not want it to be 2-1
He is a political wuss, and he didn't want anyone to be able to say that his little delegation had too many Dems in it, thus leaving the impression that we are more compassionate, which is a correct impression, and we all know it.

He's such a loser!

5. You know, it looks like some of the Republicans would get tired
of their party being represented by a chicken shit.

This man LOVES to cause pain, death and destruction, as long as his boots don't get dirty in the process.

What a socio-path this man is. He :scared: me - but I bet I could still kick his sorry ass (w/o Secret Service detail, of course).

3. He Only Goes To Texas
Why in the world would he do something "presidential?" Perhaps if he could drop in, have lunch with a couple of marines at a photo op, and be out in under 2 hours, he might go. He'd be too afraid of getting caught in another disaster.

7. He goes to Maine and Florida too. Doesn't seem to have a
"good reception" in any other country so he stays here and sends others to make his "deals" for him.

Yeah, why wasn't Carter asked to represent?

6. Poppy said on Larry KIng he couldnt stand seeing the Press call
his boy unfeeling and cheap and that was why he was doing this. He admitted that he can not stand being close to suffering people, he gets too emotional. I think that is why Shrub has his problems. Every time he stubbed his toe, Poppy probably shoved a lollipop in his mouth, taught him it wasnt normal to ever feel sorrow or pain.

Big Bill on the other hand said he would love to go to SE Asia as soon as his doctor cleared him. Joked that they invited him because he is a good fund raiser. We all know that he is on board to give Shrub the illusion of bipartisan support. Clinton had Poppy's balls in a wringer when Iran gave him proof of the Votes for Hostages deal and for some reason he decided not to use the evidence FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY (eye roll, never will understand these saintly types) despite Somalia and Linda Tripp. I think Poppy kind of trusts him now. Doesnt understand him, but trusts him.

9. I agree
It's probably Sr.'s way of saying "I know ALOT more people hate him more than they hate me and he'd be in danger there especially". Makes sense though.

11. YUP, THEY HATE HIM
I've said it before and I'll say it again. 80% of Canadians HATE (not disapprove of or merely dislike) but HATE George W Bush. And that's your next door neighbour, folks. The rest of the owrld hates him even worse.
