Bush Too Busy Reading About Lincoln To Think Of Cindy Sheehan

[kpete]

Practically as soon as he arrived, Mr. Bush began doing what he likes best, getting back to nature in the blistering heat. He spent Friday “brush cutting and trail clearing, followed by a bike ride,” said Tony Snow, the White House press secretary. The president also has several books on his summer reading list, Mr. Snow said, including two about Abraham Lincoln, another wartime president whose decisions were sometimes extremely unpopular.

....................

Mr. Snow, the White House press secretary, said administration officials had not given Ms. Sheehan a single thought. “So far there are no plans at all,” he said when asked about a meeting, “but I would advise her to bring water, or Gatorade, or both.”

And though Ms. Sheehan tried to claim credit for altering Mr. Bush’s calendar, Crawford residents were skeptical. Jimmy Don Holmes, an artist who produces hand-cut metal wall hangings in his shop, Stars Over Texas, summed up the local sentiment this way: “I don’t think she’s running him out of town. You don’t run a Texan out of town.”

5. Brush cutting and trail clearing?? I don't think so

He eats pretzels... and chokes.

He rides his bike... and falls.

He tries a "Segway"... and falls again.

His Vice-President shoots an old lawyer in the face.

His Secretary of defense creates a quagmire.

He tries to hit on the German chancellor and he is rejected.

You are going to tell us he cleans his own Ranch without sustaining injury??

No way. :shrug: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

6. Let him read. Let him catch up to history

I bet in due time we will dream he had presidency under Dick Cheney.

[MrCoffee]

7. History doesn't matter, remember?

He'll be dead so who cares what history thinks? It's the first part of that sentiment that gives me hope for the future.

8. ah, he ain't a Texan

you fucking moran.

[Philosoraptor]

9. He's never read a book in his whole fucking life, except 1, on 9-11

[uppityperson]

10. He is not a texan

Contradiction-"not a single thought" and "advise her to bring...". Or maybe he means not just 1 single thought, but a whole bunch of thoughts?

13. Is judy Miller working for the times again?

"Here, Mr. Bush can clear brush, ride his mountain bike along scrubby trails,
curl up with a book ....."

[bronxiteforever]

14. He should of read about Abe BEFORE he ran for President.

"with charity for all". Hell Abe would be posting on DU if he lived today.

[onethatcares]

15. what he's reading probably starts with,

once upon a time, abe lincoln cut down a cherry tree, and when the confederate states asked him why, he stated, because it's what I do.

A man as dyslexic as * couldn't string three sentences together unless the paragraph started with, Dear Penthouse Forum, My sexitary of state is coming over for dinner tonite and my wife is out of town.

16. Snowjob is one of the most sickening liars on this earth. He fits in well
