"First President Bush SOBS as he talks about Jeb's leadership"

[Bluebear]

I'm still looking for video of this disgusting display. You'd think Poppy could shed a few tears for the people his monkey son has caused to die.


As he struggled to stop crying, he joked that his wife, Barbara, "will bawl me out for breaking up." Jeb Bush then came to his father's side, receiving a light admonishment from his father. "I can do this," he said, then added as his son threw an arm around him, "I love this guy."

=====
Former President George H.W. Bush came here Monday to talk about leadership and opened his remarks with advice on working with rivals, being patient and building personal relationships.

He then broke down in tears mentioning his son, Gov. Jeb Bush, as an example of leadership and the way he handled losing the 1994 governor's race to popular incumbent Democrat Lawton Chiles. He vaguely referred to dirty tricks in the campaign.

"He didn't whine about it. He didn't complain," the former president said before choking up in front of lawmakers, Gov. Bush's top administrators and state workers gathered in the House chamber for the last of the governor's leadership forums.

As he tried to continue, he let out a sob and put a handkerchief to his face. When he spoke again, his words were broken up by pauses as he tried to regain composure.

1. "Dirty tricks" in Jeb's election? How about the dirty trick that SCOTUS pulled on America

in 2000?

Screw Poppy and his gang of criminals.

[Erika]

2. And what does he think of W and his needless killings?

Is the old guy senile or what?

[dysfunctional press]

3. poppy and babs are the vilest beings on the planet.

and their offspring are almost equally loathsome, except that they're too stupid to be as purely evil as the slimy parents that spawned them(it also wouldn't surprise me to learn that all of poppy and babs putrid offspring were concieved and delivered anally).

what a fucking blight on humanity that "family" continues to be.

[NJCher]

6. what I can't figure out

Is displays like this. This *(#hole acts like they're a legitimate political family when they're the deadliest family to gain positions of influence in America ever.

I think he's crying about something else. Something else like the disgrace his son george is.

[Nite Owl]

8. That was my first thought too

he was crying because at least Jeb wasn't as bad as W the total disgrace of the entire world.

[shanti]

15. it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

poppy despises w and worships jeb. the lot of them are rotten to the core. it started with prescott, the old nazi.

[Oilwellian]

4. I saw the video earlier

I couldn't believe my eyes and instinctively felt Poppy's sobbing didn't have anything to do with Jeb and had everything to do with the impending destruction of the Bush crime family.

[Bluebear]

7. I agree.

There is more going on here. I think the jig is up and he knows it. Maybe he is contemplating how he will never see his Kennebunkport digs again once he is in exile in Paraguay.

[leftchick]

19. I agree, it is the biggest failure in US history he is crying for

cry away poopy! He has been making us cry for six years now! :puke:

[Rockholm]

26. Sobbing had everything to with Dimson.

Jeb has not been the miserable failure that his brother has been. Poopy knows what a total fuck-up w is and this was his release of pent up emotion.
Hey, could CNN PLEASE show this all day long? I really hope so.

[Bluebear]

27. Agreed. nt

[Bluebear]

29. .

[Diane R]

5. These people are completely self-focused, aren't they? n/t

[bliss_eternal]

9. Wasn't that nauseating...?

:eyes:

:puke:

[Fleshdancer]

10. Parents: Do NOT pick favorites. The reject could turn out like W.

Seriously though, it doesn't take a psychologist to figure this one out.

[intaglio]

11. Check the context

/snip "He didn't whine about it. He didn't complain," the former president said. /endsnip (my emphasis)

I think W, the favoured son, has been whining and complaining and Poppy has finally come to realise that his most favoured child is as miserable failure

[last1standing]

12. For once we have something in common....

I sob any time I think of jeb's leadership.....or georgie the lesser's.....or old 'read my lips' himself for that matter. Of course if we're going to talk about that walking hulk of rotting flesh called barbara, then I just get physically ill.

Somebody bring me a hanky and a bucket! The whole filthy family just flashed before my eyes!

:cry:

:puke:

[Raine]

13. I'd cry too

if that was my son. :cry:

[Judi Lynn]

14. "He didn't whine?" "He didn't complain?" He POUTED!

[flordehinojos]

16. Dyn-O-Myte! as J.J. in Good Times might have said ...

though i say, DARN-O-MYTE! what a, "got you by the balls" moment ... Yeah! i am glad you got them right by the balls and put them right back where they belong, all three of them, miserable human forms that they are!

[Missy M]

17. "He vaguely referred to dirty tricks in the campaign".....

was he referring to the dirty tricks he and his cohorts use. Poppy and his minions know and use every dirty trick in the book and then blame others for using them. I'm convinced he was behind all the dirty tricks used against Clinton and Gore, with Barbara's blessing. I can't stand when Poppy gets on his phony, sanctimonious high horse because he is evil to the core. My biggest hope is we never have to hear or see another Bush in the future, for the good of the country.

Make the Money and Run

Jeb Bush followed the family game plan: Earn your fortune, then run for public office. A vast network of deals made it possible.

What exactly does Jeb Bush do for a living?

The 45-year-old Republican nominee for governor has hawked luxury condos in South Florida, sold industrial sites for IBM, made bank loans in Venezuela and marketed giant water pumps in Nigeria. He has even tried to sell imported shoes to Wal-Mart.

His corporate ties are a web of more than two dozen companies, including obscure, privately held ventures called Uno, Uno Dos and Oriental Trading, and bigger public companies such as SunTrust, Anchor Glass, Ideon and American Heritage Life Insurance.
>snip<

The son of former President George Bush has followed the family's patrician play book: Hurry up and get rich, then go into public service.

Trading on the famous family name, Bush gained entry to exclusive business ventures courtesy of wealthy Republicans.

(Jeb) Bush vetoes a record $448M

Gov. Jeb Bush, who has compared cutting the state budget to a mafia-style hit, went out with a vengeance Thursday when he signed his last state spending plan as governor and vetoed an unprecedented $448.7 million of it.

The big losers in the $71 billion budget: Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, which saw $20 million cut; and nursing homes, which had sought nearly $90 million to continue helping Medicaid's poor elderly.

...snip...

It's a little too conservative for Democrats such as Sen. Nan Rich of Sunrise. After all, she said, a budget is simply a document about values -- about who should get what -- and the Republicancontrolled Legislature already skimped on paying for a number of social services, despite the year of plenty. Add to this Bush's cuts to a variety of jail-intervention and youth-help programs, such as after-school tutoring programs in Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Pines and Miami-Dade.

...snip...

One Republican who broke with Bush was Sen. Alex Villalobos, a Miami Republican. After Villalobos blocked the governor's plans last year, Bush vetoed a spinal cord research project at the University of Miami backed by Villalobos. Villalobos said it was ''inexplicable'' because Bush initially had supported the measure as well.

Protest mixes shacks, shame

A village of cardboard is meant to highlight Miami's housing problems.

By TAMARA LUSH
Published December 5, 2006

MIAMI - On a street lined with ratty palm trees, liquor stores and garbage, a chubby, fresh-faced girl with long braids pulls an unattached door from the entrance of a wooden shack to reveal the inside.

"It's very simple," says the girl, who just turned 18. She says it with a touch of pride. "We're painting the doors, as you can see, and this is our little doormat." With her foot, she straightens a flattened cardboard box lying on the ground.

Welcome to Tanairis Pantoja's starter home.

Until a few weeks ago, Tanairis, who goes by Chi-Chi, and her boyfriend, Markus, had been sleeping on Miami Beach, in the shadow of the shiny new condos that line the ocean.

Miami Activists "Take Over" Public Land to Build Shanty Town for Homeless

Miami Activists "Take Over" Public Land to Build Shanty Town for Homeless

[e-mail]

Citing disillusionment with the ability of the "system" to serve the needs of the poor Black community, and in the wake of the latest government housing scandal, several organizations and individuals, under the leadership of the Center for Pan-African Development, occupied (took over) public land today and are building a shanty town to house the homeless for those living in squalor.

The shanty town is under construction on the NE corner of 62nd St. and NW 17 th Avenue in the Liberty City section of Miami as of 3pm today. The lot is owned by the city of Miami and has been vacant for years, since the City purchased, and subsequently demolished, the low rent apartment complex at the site.

The occupation (take over) of public land is a direct response to the housing crisis, including the recently publicized government housing scandals, and the corresponding gentrification of Black communities in Miami-Dade county.

Take Back the Land is asking for donations and support. Visit the group’s website for more information: http://www.takebacktheland.blogspot.com.

20. In 2 years, no one named Bush will be able to be elected dogcatcher

The Bush family will have to change their name to Cownofski or Lipschitz in order to even get a table at a decent restaurant.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. They don't call him "The Wimp" for nothing...

Edit...Bush and SOB just kind of belong together.

[cassiepriam]

22. The Bushes are losing it big time. Poppa gets it.............

25. He was probably crying more for the

public failures of the other moronic offspring.

[Bluebear]

28. Everything is falling apart for everything Bush.

That's where the sobs are coming from.
