Oh, mercy. Bush is spreading sunshine in FL. Or something-

[Rose Siding]

At a college this morning where "dozens" of seniors are still trying to sort through their choices before the impending deadline leaves them stranded:

He walked around giving handshakes and hugs to those who rose for his entrance, and greeted a man who remained sitting in a wheelchair with, "You look mighty comfortable.''

his own two pins. What an asshole!!!!

". . . using my own legs like a sap."

15. He must have learned it at his mommy's knee

Babs to Katrina evacuees: "This is working very well for them."
The Dumbass Supreme(TM) to a wheelchair user: "You look mighty comfortable."

See the family resemblance? :puke:

4. grrrrr...

My mom uses a wheelchair for short periods of time when she is not confined to bed. If someone made that remark to her I think I would lost it. I would be screaming.

SUN CITY RETIREES :BUSH STAY AWAY

Note::
*******Today it is raining.yesterday it was fires..and with bush coming......he brings disaster with him***********

Friends, skeptics to greet president

Bush will find many Republicans among the retirees he will speak with today, but he'll also see a few frowns in the crowd at Sun City Center.

TAMPA -..snip

The mostly retiree community has long been a Republican stronghold, and county records show that nearly twice as many registered Republicans as Democrats call the area home.

.................................not everyone is looking forward to the presidential visit.

"I'm just not happy with the way our lives get disrupted with all this. It shuts us down," said resident Dick Marshall. "If it was a Democrat, I'd say the same thing."

7. So what did he do to the ones who didn't rise for his entrance?

Shoot them the finger?

I'm just curious how many seniors kept their seats when he walked in.

8. darn bushit bastard boy

10. Time for the Dems to get out and vow not to put deadlines on the

well-being of elders. Pretty simple.

[bdamomma]

11. geez, bush is so cold and condescending

I hope bush finds himself in chair......what kind of chair, I will leave that to your imagination.

[Jane Austin]

12. And yesterday he told his elderly audience: deadlines are important and

you have to realize the "finality" of some things.

What a freaking asshole.

He wants to talk about finality to people in their 80's?

Insolent little creep.

13. UPDATE

I went to the link from that thread and there's a different AP story there.

http://wvgazette.com/section/APNews/News/ap0482n

So I went to Google and entered "bush" & "look mighty comfortable" and found a bunch of links to AP stories about the event.

HOWEVER...the "You look mighty comfortable" bit has scrubbed from most of them. Not all, but most.

Interesting...

14. asshole.
