I have no prblem w/bush Sr. crying...

[Ned_Devine]

I think the ability to express emotions like that is good. It's the republicans that would jump all over that and paint the person as weak (which they are probably doing right now)

[no_hypocrisy]

1. I wish they were tears of gulit, contrition, and utter remorse

for what he unleashed on this country and the world.

[Fridays Child]

2. I agree but what I saw bordered on some sort of dementia.

It was disturbing, and such displays of emotion don't usually lead me to that conclusion--no matter who's doing the crying.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. I have a big problem with hinting at "dirty tricks" used by Chiles...

when "Swift Boating" is now a political term.

[fooj]

4. I don't have a problem with the tears...

I have a problem with HIM. I have a problem with the BFEE.

[Tinksrival]

5. I agree, I have no problem with 41 getting emotional....

but I still don't understand the why. Being proud of Jeb's Governorship is one thing but this seems to be about something more.:shrug:

[waiting for hope]

9. I think he was thinking

that Jeb doesn't have a shot in hell for any presidential run because W screwed everything up so bad....I think I'd cry too if one bad apple did spoil the entire batch.

[Little Star]

10. .

[LSparkle]

12. Or because he feels closer to Jeb -- or that he's thankful

at least one of his sons still may seek his counsel on things (unlike RatBastard, who doesn't seem to think it's a big deal to openly ADMIT he doesn't ask for his dad's advice, even though his Poppy was fucking president ... ).

[Bluebear]

6. VIDEO here: This was more than "crying"

http://www.yahoo.com/s/453237

His world is crumbling, or he will miss Kennebunkport when he moves to Paraguay, who knows. But this was about more than Jeb and the way he handled an old election.

[shaniqua6392]

7. Regrets.......I've had a few......

Isn't that how the song goes???:cry: :cry:

[WI_DEM]

8. The problem is that the Bushie's will cry at alleged "dirty tricks" by others

but turn a blind eye towards their own dirty tricks and stolen elections. Anybody remember Poppy's Willy Horton ad against Dukakis in '88?

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. You bet they would. All the RW bigmouths would call him a sissy

Come on Rush and you other tough guys - let him have it.

*Silence*

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. No. no, no - when Republicans cry, it shows their deep faith in Jesus.

No matter how many people they ordered murdered, allowed to starve to death, or denied basic human rights to.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Good point. "Make your checks and money orders payable to.........."

[wake.up.america]

13. Hard to say what's going on with Bush 41. Perhaps he is crying because...

he believes his dream of the Bush family being gloriously written into the history books has gone up in smokes.

[novalib]

15. "Ability to Express EMOTIONS"??!! Bush?!?!?!

Oh come on.

Fucking ICE WATER runs in the veins of the ENTIRE Bush family.

THEY HAVE NO EMOTIONS, since EMOTIONS are HUMAN!!!!

EVERY FUCKING THING the members of the BUSH FAMILTY does is done PURELY FOR EFFECT!!!!!

Bush, Sr's crying was NOT about showing emotions!!!!!

It was about BEING A FUCKING BULLY!!!!!

[laundry_queen]

18. I disagree.

About the "no emotions" part. (I think he's a fucking bully too, still.) But even the worst tyrants seem to have a soft spot for their families. Their families are "special" and "better" than everyone else. Even sociopaths can have strong feelings towards their offspring, although they could give 2 shits about everyone else. They have NO EMPATHY. So while they can "love" their own family, and have strong feelings toward their own family, they have no ability to understand that other families feel the same way.
Either that or it's dementia. Or maybe he's in poor health and realizes where he's about to go spend eternity....

[novalib]

19. ANY Member of the BUSH GANG

Any member of the soul-less, heartless, cruel, evil vile disgusting Bush "family" would sacrifice any other member of the "family in a minute if they thought doing so would gain them more power!!!

They are so divorced from what it is to be human that they do NOT knoiw love even for other members of their own family.

What they do instead -- at least in public -- is ENTIRELY for show, and COMPLETELY CALCUALTED to gain MORE POWER for them and their croneys!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. He knows the Bush family is utterly done now. The generations long planning

and maneuvering to get the Bush family in control of so much has been utterly lost now due to the total incomptence of his son.

He bet the farm on a longshot by having his son made president - had he won, he would have won big; but if loses, he loses everything.

And he knows now that he's lost everything - his longshet bet isn't gonna pay off. His parents and grandparents had the patience to go slowly. GWHB got too greedy too fast, and he knows that he is soon gonna pay the piper for his impatience and hubris.

[TahitiNut]

20. Did he CRY ABOUT THIS!?!?!?! THIS is a father with REASON to cry!!

:grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad:

[kskiska]

21. He's crying because if Jeb had won that election, he would have been President

now instead of his f**k-up son. Jeb was the apple of GHWB and Bar's eye and the one they chose to claim the White House.

[novalib]

22. I Don't Beleive Jeb Lost any Election.

I think Jeb did not run in the last election in Florida.

[tanyev]

26. 1994. Governor of Florida.

Same year Dubbie won governor of TX. The whole family was so devastated by Jeb's loss, they hardly paid any attention to George's win. I'm sure that irritated him no end.

[novalib]

28. But Didn't Jebbie Win The Governorship of FL???

I thought that Jebbie ultimately won the governorship of Fla.

No???

[tanyev]

29. Yes. In 1998. He has been gov ever since.

[kskiska]

31. Not until the next election.

Chiles won re-election in 1994, and W won in Texas. Jebbie had to wait till Chiles' term was up, then he won, but W was first, and he got the nod for the presidential run.

[kskiska]

27. He lost the election in 1994.

[TahitiNut]

30. Poor Prince Jeb - denied his Rightful Entitlement for four whole years

:grr: :mad: :puke:

[irislake]

23. It's good he is capable of tears

and I think he is unravelling and tearful because he knows more than the general public knows about what's going on inside the White House and he knows there will be a very messy end to GWBs presidency. Maybe even worse than Tricky-Dick's. I honestly think he feels sorry for his son rather than himself. Sure he should cry about all his son's victims and those he also has offed but apparently he has some genuine parental impulses. Face it -- he and Babs messed up big time. What a family.

[irislake]

25. You won't catch Babs crying

She keeps her beautiful mind serene.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. I'd like to see him crying every day.

From behind the bars at a maximum security prison.

[valerief]

32. I think it's a hoot to see that old queen sobbing away. nt

[Deja Q]

34. Homophobia?

[valerief]

40. Nope. Ageist. I used the modifier "old" and you didn't call

me on that!

[originalpckelly]

38. What is he a Mississippi river boat? "Old Queen"

That wasn't very nice. I myself had a lesson in the importance of sensitivity today. This should be yours.

[valerief]

41. Only an old queen can be the parent of Lord Pissypants. nt

[Tellurian]

33. 41 is crying because he's SCARED and Mortified!!!

Apparently, Bush 43 has something in the offing coming soon. Something so terrible (with the Bush name attached to it), he's scared half to death, because it will be a desperate cling to power measure, that will devastate our way of life in America for a very long time..

His family will be remembered as a family of Tyrants and GREED with a Win At ALL Costs mentality!

The history books will recount them as the scourge of the White House. A personage who's goals were NEVER
to SERVE but to GOUGE for GREED to the point of human sacrifice of our own troops and the conspicuous consumption
of ANY culture who stood in the way of their making MONEY!

[earth mom]

35. I have a HUGE problem with it because the corporate media whores

will use it to the MAX to gain sympathy for * & Co. :puke:

[nam78_two]

36. I am REALLY not interested in the "humanity" of the Bushes/nt

[ecstatic]

37. Not one tear shed over fallen troops or Iraqis

F*ck his crocodile tears! :mad:

[etherealtruth]

39. If those were my kids ...

Chimpy and Jebbie (ok, Neilly and the other one) I'd be crying, too.

Sarcasm off, Bush the elder crying is what it is (a guy crying) which is a neutral (non)thing to me.

[BeFree]

42. He was crying for the future

He knows if Jeb had been elected as Gov. in Fla, Jeb is the one who would have run for president and stolen the election from Al Gore in 2000.

B41 knows that Jeb was too smart by an inch over his brother to have invaded Iraq. But since the US invaded we are now damned and our future is bleak.

That's why he was crying. He knows that we are pretty well fucked since his other son fucked up so badly.
