George W. Bush on 9/11: "But the day ended on a relatively humorous note."
Ladies Home Journal:

Peggy Noonan (the interviewer): You were separated on September 11th. What was it like when you saw each other again?

Laura Bush: Well, we just hugged. I think there was a certain amount of security in being with each other than being apart.

George W. Bush: But the day ended on a relatively humorous note. The agents said, “you’ll be sleeping downstairs. Washington’s still a dangerous place.” And I said no, I can’t sleep down there, the bed didn’t look comfortable. I was really tired, Laura was tired, we like our own bed. We like our own routine. You know, kind of a nester. I knew I had to deal with the issue the next day and provide strength and comfort to the country, and so I needed rest in order to be mentally prepared. So I told the agent we’re going upstairs, and he reluctantly said okay. Laura wears contacts, and she was sound asleep. Barney was there. And the agent comes running up and says, “We’re under attack. We need you downstairs,” and so there we go. I’m in my running shorts and my T-shirt, and I’m barefooted. Got the dog in one hand, Laura had a cat, I’m holding Laura —

Laura Bush: I don’t have my contacts in , and I’m in my fuzzy house slippers —

George W. Bush: And this guy’s out of breath, and we’re heading straight down to the basement because there’s an incoming unidentified airplane, which is coming toward the White House. Then the guy says it’s a friendly airplane. And we hustle all the way back up stairs and go to bed.

Mrs. Bush: And we just lay there thinking about the way we must have looked.

Peggy Noonan (interviewer): So the day starts in tragedy and ends in Marx Brothers.

George W. Bush: That’s right — we got a laugh out of it.

1. More likely W was hiding down in the bunker and ...

refusing to come out while everyone else was laughing at his chickenshit ass.

2. Oh well, as long as they got a laugh out of it,

I guess that's what's really important.

Narcissistic putzes...

3. What a humorous anecdote from the giggling murderer...

And this one: "...so I needed rest in order to be mentally prepared."

What is "rest", some kind of bourbon?

4. This needs to get on a DNC network commercial too.

5. Sick. Psychotic, Dangerous. n/t

6. Scary

that The Decider was the only person in these United States to find anything humorous on that day. What's really funny is how serious a campaign issue it has been for him & his brethren ever since.

7. A real show of leadership there...

an at one with the nation moment. I imagined that during this crisis he was hunkered down with his staff sort of like Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis.


well slap me silly for that thought.

8. This shoud go to Keith!

So telling and I bet that is the only thing he did think about, "getting his sleep" after being hung over and flying around in the sky ~ we know not where!

Randi would have a field day with this one.

11. Oh yeah, I can't remember how many times I laughed that day!

:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

What a fucking moron. Most people would be saddened or scared but he just laughed.

And, then, to admit it out loud! Idiot.
