10 MILLION denied jobs and this bastard cries about his demon spawn losing an election?

[TahitiNut]

I can't begin to express my rage at this insane, old bastard and the abysmally clueless media who present this "sympathy moment" for one of the most APPALLING attitudes of ENTITLEMENT I've ever seen in this country - rivaling the horrors of aristocratic entitlements that led to the Russian and French Revolutions! Where's Madame LeFarge when we need her?

Not only have over ten million Americans been denied meaningful work, over sixty million are doing work for which they're underpaid by perhaps 30% and forty million are without adequate health care in a nation where people like this vicious fucking bastard do everything to make them even poorer to line the pockets of the already wealthy!

We have more than three thousand families whose sons and daughters have died for the predations of this INSANE regime and nearly 700,000 Iraqi families ripped apart by the "shock and awe" of the most corrupt administration in this country's history. And this evil bastard CRIES about a son who lost an election to a position of public trust where he could further exploit and abuse his authority for crony advantages? Where're the tar and feathers?

I have never seen anything more insane and totally devoid of any sense of justice than this "sympathy moment" - enough to make what few sane people left in this perverted Disneyland of a nation want to grab ropes and look for hanging trees! Abominable!

1. what election?

I thought Jeb had to leave due to term limits? :shrug:

[TahitiNut]

10. He was (reportedly) reminiscing about the 'terrible' loss Jeb 'suffered' in 1994.

Concocting some bizarre scenario of Jeb's 'courage' in the face of such terrible 'adversity.'

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ON A CRUTCH!! I've seen more 'adversity' suffered by a kid told there was no dessert!! It just staggers my sensibilities that this could be pimped by the whoring corporate media as some "human interest" moment.

(As far as I know, Jeb has nothing to prevent him from running again - except possible greed for "bigger and better" postions of power and predation. I could be wrong.)

[Kelly Rupert]

11. He did. And the Republican replacement won. n/t

[grmamo]

16. 1994 Gov election + the link which was on Huffingtonpost earlier

After reading the full article I certainly didn't see any reason to break down.

http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/first-president-bush-sobs-while-talking/20061204194509990018



<skip>

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.

<skip>

In 1994, Jeb Bush appeared to be on his way to victory. The final debate between Chiles and Bush is largely seen as the turning point in the closest governor's race in state history. But just before the election, the Chiles campaign made 70,000 bogus phone calls to elderly voters claiming to be from independent groups. Callers portrayed Bush as a tax cheat and said his running mate, Tom Feeney, wanted to abolish Social Security and cut Medicare.

"A true measure of a man is how you handle victory and how you handle defeat, so in '94 Floridians chose to rehire the governor. They took note of a his worthy opponent, who showed with not only words but with actions what decency he had," Bush said before again sobbing.

[1monster]

22. If threre were any dirty tricks, then they were Jebs. We in Florida

LOVED "Walkin' Lawton" Childs...

[RaleighNCDUer]

28. Bushites wanted to abolish SS and cut medicare?

How could anybody beleive any such charge?

(Is the :sarcasm: tag really necessary here?)

[nashville_brook]

38. i think Poppy cries for us, Argentina

[Virginian]

65. Maybe it was because

Dubya ruined any chance Jeb would have had to ascend to the throne.

[Christa]

2. If I believed in hell

it would have been too good for him.

[Ken Burch]

3. Maybe he'd just pissed himself...

...and the Depends weren't holding up.

[graywarrior]

4. Is poppy crying?

[bluestateguy]

5. Jeb is leaving office! Jeb is leaving office! Jeb is leaving office!

I have waited for this day for a long time.

[liberalhistorian]

44. Yeah, but this family is like a bad penny,

they just won't go away. How much ya wanna bet that that slimy snake will try for the puke presidential nomination in '08? Because they really do believe they're entitled to such positions and they resent actually having to deal with elections; they just don't grasp how tired America is of them and how much we want them all to just go the fuck away forever. Reminds me of Peron's statement in the musical "Evita": "How annoying that we have to have elections for our cause. The inconvenience, having to get a majority! If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause, there are other ways of establishing authority."

[Nickster]

6. A-Freaking-men. The whole family can burn for all I care about them. n/t

[Counciltucky]

7. WOW...

Read Fox News' take on this and the '94 election. This is even more blatantly partisan than I'm used to even from these clowns.

Just sick.

[acmavm]

8. This is a big fucking act. A big scam on the world. That nasty

old specimen is fully aware that his douce bag son has blown the cover off the family's secrets, that we all know they are the same facista bastards they were back in the 30s and 40s when Prescott was backing Hitler.

He's trying to scrape up some sympathy for the family by playing on the collective sympathies of the world. He got a BIG shock when he was told to his face that the people of the Middle East did not respect Dumya last week. This week, he's scaping the bottom of the sympathy barrel using old Jebbie "Mr. Real Estate Scammer" bush as his crutch.

Screw that old geezer. He should be, and would be if the truth was known, in a prison somewhere with the rest of his criminal family.

[softwarevotingtrail]

14. He's crying because he knows the "good son" won't be Prez

The old man is crying because Dubya has completely destroyed the family name by being The Worst President Ever, thereby making it impossible for Jeb ever to be president -- even though HW always thought "Jebbie" was the chosen one, not black sheep Dubya.

What a self-centered, self-pitying pathetic old man.

[grmamo]

17. Boy everything you have stated is what I was thinking n/t

[Little Star]

21. .

[xxqqqzme]

69. that was my read on it.

he was weeping for all the squandered opportunities. He was sooooo fucking greedy for another BFEE member to be CiC, he just couldn't wait for jebster to complete his 2 terms. He weeps for the couple of billion chimpster has cost the family. Nothing more.

Wasn't there some where in the blubber that he says '....babs....' right before jebster comes to his aid? - afraid the old lady is going to rip him up? - Who I believe has had her neck done if the last picture I saw of her wasn't just a crazy angle.

[newyawker99]

71. Hi softwarevotingtrail!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[The Gunslinger]

74. yep and this is the first step to get Jeb the throne in 08

This is nothing but an act. Get some sympathy for Jeb. Make people think that Daddy thinks Jeb will do a better job than W without saying so.

This faminly is not to be trusted
None of them
Never

[marew]

75. You are SOOOO right! n/t

[AX10]

9. I agree. George H.W should just shut up and take it like a man.

These upity WASPY types think they have a right to dictate how the world is run. H.W should realize that his son is a 60 year old man who needs to take responsibility for himself. I have no sympathy for any of these SOB's or their media pundit whores such as Paula Zahn, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Fox "News" Channel, and Tim Russert, etc......

They are the reason why the internet has become a force to be reckoned with.

[jaxx]

Just wait till dubya goes.

:cry:

[smomfr]

58. Right, if he has to cry for this kind of thing perhaps he´ll shit him-

self when dumbya is put behind bars.

[krispos42]

12. Florida has term limits

Poppy's just upset because his kids got re-elected more than he did

[flakey_foont]

13. okay, the old fart is crying

why is that news?

[malaise]

15. He cries

I laugh. :rofl::rofl:

[goclark]

18. I'm with you ~ if I thought that he was ill, I would be more

in sympathy.

But he has been right in the middle of so many criminal activities for this country that I don't feel one damn thing for him.

He is not crying for Jeb the Con Artist, he is crying cause the pressure is on the entire family and his little Jeb will have a hard time being elected again.

He is a Con Artist and I don't trust him for one damn minute.

He has defended everything his son has done, everything.

[leftofthedial]

19. scion of a degenerate clan, every bit as evil as any that ever lived

-spit-

nothing could ever happen to any member of that family bad enough to generate one nanosecond of sympathy from me.

:puke:

[MazeRat7]

20. They truly are clueless... only caring about themselves... shameful I tell ya.

Oh yeah... and really damn irritating as well... :mad:

MZr7

[depakid]

23. Where's Madame LeFarge when we need her?

I'm sure that she's out there keeping records of who's been naughty and nice.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Just wait'll he gets home.

I'll bet anything the Evil Babs will kick his butt from here to the moon and back. Not that I have a lot of sympathy for 41, but I'd hate to be in the same room with Babs when she's pissed, and for some reason, I think this will not have pleased her much.

[Bouncy Ball]

25. Where's the video?

I want to see this...

[Shipwack]

26. Could it possibly be dementia?

Bush Sr is getting on in years... not beyond the realm of possibility. I don't wish that on him, though... I want him in full command of his faculties as history and the world reject Junior, and even Jeb....

[TahitiNut]

31. I'd be more inclined to give that slack to Pinochet ... and even he doesn't deserve it.

Evil - whether old or young - is evil.

[QuestionAll...]

52. I wish he would be all healthy and in an orange jumpsuit

but you can't have evrything - i'll just settle for the fashion statement.

[OzarkDem]

27. They're running this every 5 minutes on CNN

they just had Bill Bennett on blaming Poppy's sadness on all the mean attacks on Jr. in the WH.

[TahitiNut]

30. It's unbelievably appalling. Where's the photo of the Iraqi father carrying his dead child??

My gawd! That evil bastard hasn't the slightest comprehension of what warrants tears!!
Goddamn sociopathic fart!
:grr:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. Here it is. But, his audience is much smaller and less concerned.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. How sad. Tsk, tsk. Poor fellow. Alas for him. Such a hard life.

Why it's almost as moving as hearing about Rush's anal cysts.

[Bouncy Ball]

32. ROFL.

Yeah, sorry, I have a hard time conjuring up much sympathy for a family that has done the kinds of things this family has done.

He needs to save his tears for the dead in Iraq, American AND Iraqi.

[kskiska]

34. The "Wimp Factor" in action.

Where are Poppy's tears for the young soldiers killed in the Bush name in Iraq? No one in his family was sacrificed in Junior's little war.

[nam78_two]

35. K&R/nt

[elehhhhna]

36. "15 years ago our family went to $hit--Jebbie lost FLA & George won Texas...

WAH-FRICKEDY-HOO!

All my plans fell apart when the stoopid one got ahead of little Jebbie"


He SHOULD be crying.

[annabanana]

37. More advantages than God, and we're supposed to feel

SORRY for this miserable dynasty??

Yeah, that'll happen.

[Diane R]

39. That evil family does not knowr real pain and suffering. I wish Karma would bite them in the butt.

[quiet.american]

40. Thanks for expressing your outrage. I completely agree. n/t

[earth mom]

41. Oh cry me a river you heartless bastard!

People in this country and world have WAY more serious problems to deal with! How about the Katrina victims?! The homeless?! The soldiers in Iraq?! The soldiers families?! Dead Iraqi citizens, many who were innocent children?! Jeezus!!! :wtf:

:grr:

[Sugar Smack]

42. *pffffffffft*

Okie-Dokie. Love ya,btw.:loveya: :hi:

[nam78_two]

43. Here are some dads who have something to cry about (GRAPHIC)

Take your crocodile tears elsewhere W :grr:

[TahitiNut]

47. Exactly! We could also revisit the images of Katrina!

Compared to the absolutely BOUNDLESS sorrow this evil family has helped unleash on the world, the notion that there's ANYTHING sorrowful about the pampered, privileged, spoiled, self-centered, evil spawn of this appalling family not getting some 'job' until four years later is unbelievably disgusting.
:grr: :mad: :puke:

[nam78_two]

48. .....

(I don't mean to use these images manipulatively or disrespectfully...so if it comes across that way sorry...But you will never see such in our RW media which gushes and coos about the humanity of the Bushes :grr:)

[Gregorian]

45. What a crybaby! Walk a mile in our shoes why don't you.

He'd have never survived what his son has put us through for the last six years. NEVER!

I'll Barbara made him do it. You get out there and show some emotion, or else! I'll get out my rolling pin. The last time she did that was in '92. Ouch!

[NNN0LHI]

46. I would be crying too if my kid was looking at life in prison n/t

[Gelliebeans]

49. This whole family

is completely out of touch with reality. I really shouldn't be amazed at these antics but it is habitual in nature.

It makes me want to :puke:

Our lovely corporate media treat this old codger with kid gloves when he is half the reason that the world is suffering the likes of his dimson. Don't even get me started on Babs. :grr:

[CitizenLeft]

50. love your rant, TahitiNut

TOTALLY agree.

:nopity:

[QuestionAll...]

51. lousy pervert, may he rot in a new basement in hell.

not One nanosecond of sympathy from me - I use those feelings for the many people these scum have killed and made life miserable for. okay, I'm 'mean', but I'd feel great to just kick his preditor ass during that slobber scene.

[TahitiNut]

55. Even Dante didn't dig Hell deep enough to accommodate this despicable clan.

The fact that our completely corrupted media present this as some kind of sympathy ploy is just totally outside the realm of anything resembling sanity.

:grr: :mad: :puke:

[marmar]

53. This family is like an Old Testament plague on the country....

We need a Moses, right now!

[Joe Chi Minh]

54. Please don't use the word "aristocratic" on the same page as a

reference to the Bushes.

Incredible as it seems to me, upstarts like them and Blair make me realise how - generally speaking - we should cherish the real "old "money" people, most of whom, though they usually have an odd hang-up about money, have a real sense of honour, duty and service, in comparison.

[TahitiNut]

56. I have no tolerance for the predations of royalty or aristocracies. None.

It's an intrinsic evil, imho. The "royal family" of England should have their wealth (ENTIRELY plundered from the labors of the people) ripped from them and have to serve in poorhouses and soup kitchens.

There is no "saving grace" that compensates for the generations-upon-generations of wallowing in the inherited wealth plundered at the point of a spear and edge of a sword. That people regard them as 'celebrities' is testimony to the Disneyfication of Kings and Princes - a complete and utter lie. The perverted aspiration of "someday my Prince will come" has kept women in subjugation for centuries.

In my view, the Bolsheviks did exactly the Right Thing to Nicholas and his gene pool. :puke:

But that's just me ... and my sense of justice. YMMV. :shrug:

[Ms. Clio]

57. well, I did feel sorry for the kids -- being shot to death in a cellar is a really awful way to go

especially since all the family jewels were sewn into their clothes so that many bullets & clubbing and & stabbing were required to finish them off. Just a blood-curdling scene, if you allow yourself to imagine it. Especially if you've ever seen photos and film of the girls and their brother.

But otherwise, I completely agree.

[Joe Chi Minh]

66. No, it's not just you and your sense of justice, TahitNut.

I strongly suspect that we would have benefited enormously by a revoution like that of the French. So, I don't agree with Mao that it's too early to tell whether it was a success.

However, what you don't seem to grasp, and it's taken me most of a life-time to, is that virtually ALL politicians and political activists are cut from the same cloth. But the worst social climbers such as the Blairs and the Bushs are much, much worse than most - though probably not all - of the present-day scions of those murderers and looters.

I don't know if you are familiar with the medieval history of England since the Norman invasion, but if you are not, I think you would be even more shocked by the wanton wickedness and cruelty of our Norman overlords towards the people at that time. Even later. As I pointed out to a young Swiss lad who was staying with us at the time, when he marvelled at the "grandeur" of one of our Victorian, main-line, London railway stations, I was less than impressed, because I thought of the blood sweat and tears - indeed the premature deaths - of the impoverished majority, who were preyed upon so viciously to pay for such buildings. You just have to look at their house, with 150 bedrooms, to ponder the same. Then the old couples who were separated and sent to different workhouses - the so-called "undeserving poor". No, actually, I think they were regarded as the "deserving poor"!!!

However, the immediate aftermath of the French Revoution saw the rise of people every bit as wicked as their former monarchs and aristocrasts, so it has taken a long time for the benefits of the Revolution to accrue. And I believe that is the situation we would be in, in the UK, if the likes of Blair were to be made President in place of the monarch.

Despite the incessant attacks of envious media barons and their myrmidons, and merely by a stroke of random good fortune, I believe we have a royal family at present, who only a lunatic would compare unfavourably with anyone in our political class, with the exception, perhaps, of the demonised Wedgewood Benn (himself a toff).

The Tory toffs who resigned from Thatcher's government because they couldn't stomach the social anarchy and national vandalism promoted by her government, doubtless had independent means, but the fact is that they did resign rather than share in the complicity, subsequently unconscioably pursued by Blair and his putative Labour Party. The only Labourite to resign in disgust at Blair's pending policies was a New Zealander called Gould, who could have had a high post in the government.

[TahitiNut]

73. I've toured the castles, chateaux, and cathedrals of France and England.

I spent time in Westminster contemplating the lot of those interred there. I remember very clearly what I felt when viewing the cathedral at Chartres from a distance, looming as it does over the surrounding farmland from its position on a slight rise with the clusters of 'common' buildings huddled around it. I had a hard time dealing with the feelings of imagining the oppression and privations suffered by the ordinary people in order to erect these European 'pyramids' in forced tribute to their overlords. While I, like many, can marvel at the magnificence of these edifices, I cannot allow myself to be unaware of the wretched inequities leading to their construction.

I have no illusions regarding the behavior of people in backlash against such forces ... or the "ontogeny of phylogeny" (recapitulationism?) that sees a repeat of such excesses. Indeed, even such movements as 'capitalism' show that private individuals engage in the same abuses as the state monopolists did before them in hoarding such entitlements to themselves. It's like generational child abuse, I think. Many centuries of human history take a long time to unlearn and alternative models are hard in coming. But those models are coming ... and 5-10 generations isn't an awfully long time to see that it's indeed possible.

[Generator]

59. Demon spawn is a bit much

Come on! It's X-mas season. Where is your spirit of man? Your love of felons? Your understanding of the need to be weepy in the face of having so much power and still being married to that thing called Barbara?

[Rex]

60. Fuck him, I hope he cries every night.

POS, know-nothing war criminal. If I had to wake up to Babs everyday, I'd be one sad mofo.

[marions ghost]

61. I don't think

many Americans will have sympathy for this performance, no matter how the media spins it. Too much abuse at the hands of the despicable Booshies.

Everybody knows the Dynasty is finished. Politically they are dead men walking. Poppy's just arrived at the wake.

[bedazzled]

62. SOB can cry 24/7 for the rest of his unnatural life and it won't be enough

to make up for what his deviant family and murderous friends have done

i hope the lot of them never have a good night's sleep again, and fill
up the ocean with their tears

[roguevalley]

63. you and me both, tahitinut.

[flyarm]

64. MAKES ME SICK TOO! he has a hell of alot of nerve...the old perv!

[Hidden Stillness]

70. "It's Worse When It Happens to Rich People"

Whenever I hear the media claim that there was "such a difference" between first Bush and second Bush, I always think of a few reminiscences...

When first Bush was giving a speech to a veterans' group, I think while still running for President the first time, 1988, a group of MIA (Missing In Action) families rose up in the crowd and pleaded for help on the search for answers about their loved ones. Remember old Bush's compassionate answer? "SHUT UP!"

When the devastating hurricane hit Florida when old Bush was Pres., (Andrew, I suppose), old Bush refused to do anything to enforce laws against price-gouging, and people who had lost everything, hungry and parched, were paying, sometimes on credit cards, $9 for a cup of water, and exhorbitant rates for gas, etc. No matter how people begged, there were never any price-gouging regulations. "Fuck you poor people--you're all poor now!"

At the end of Bush's term, when Bush's poll numbers were in the toilet--just like this one's now--Bush invented a "popular war that would rally the voters," and got us stuck in one of the most painful messes of recent years, Somalia, leaving it to Clinton to deal with it. Remember the dead, tortured Americans dragged through the streets, their corpses violated? Every angle for you, Bush.

First Bush continued the horrific practice introduced by Reagan, of not doing anything to help abortion clinics when they were threatened. I remember a Phil Donahue program from that time, where clinic owners described how they would call police or the FBI to report bomb threats, etc., requesting a thorough search of the premises, and were actually told, "Search it yourself."

Of course, everyone remembers first Bush's sacred promise to the Kurds of Iraq, that if they just mounted a rebellion, we would storm in there and join them, liberating all. They were left stranded, and were tortured to death by Saddam Hussein.

George "No Regulations/No Laws" Bush the first never did anything to protect anyone's job, as mergers, moves to Mexico, and all the rest were just starting to be such a threat then and a little earlier, under the bastard Reagan. Cry for yourselves every time, don't you though, you rich, selfish bastard?

[RiverStone]

72. Great rant!

You can cry us a river poppy, but that would not add up to shit compared to the tears of one child abandoned in war by your son's criminal aggression.

Why can't the MSM get a clue???!!!

[Wednesdays]

76. Why does this remind me so much of

Linda Lay during her interview on the Today Show?
