Y'all have today all wrong - Bush went today to FLAUNT HIS DISRESPECT

[blm]

for Mrs. King, MLK, and ALL OF US.

He didn't suffer. He thrives on knowing he has put in place the means to DISMANTLE all the hard work and efforts of leaders like the Kings and presidents like Carter and Clinton.

He is sleeping like a baby tonight because he did what he wanted to do today - he FLAUNTED HIMSELF AT A PROMINENT CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS FUNERAL - and he had the press siding with him while he laughed to his sociopathic self throughout.

He and Rove are no doubt orgasming together at his show of gall today.

The man is cruel to degrees that none of us have ever experienced in our lifetimes. He could give one whit about what happened today - he's only figuring out ways to use his mediawhores to spin it for him and against us.

[AX10]

1. huh?

[fooj]

2. Every time I saw him clap...

I was thinking the same thing.

Peace.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. YES! damned accurate. You hit it, blm!

that is exactly what happened.

[LSparkle]

4. I think you may be right ... like when he laid the wreath at MLK's grave

just days after appointing a racist judge to a district (circuit?) court in a recess appointment. He takes "thumbing one's nose" to an entirely new level.

[blm]

9. Easy to thumb your nose when your cronies control most broadcast media.

.

[LSparkle]

10. Yep, he ain't alone in this one -- he's got his own cheering section

BASTARDS!

[arikara]

25. And do you remember when Mrs. King presented that portrait

of MLK to the chimp and he smirked and said "I can't wait to 'hang' it." It looked and sounded far worse than it does writing it down.

[blm]

29. I don't believe his jibes are accidental at all. His cruelty is too

well known to believe in accidents from his lips.

[chat_noir]

5. his speech is on now on C-Span 1

[Skarbrowe]

6. Sounds about right to me. nt

[Lars39]

7. And if the report is correct, Poppy had a nice little freudian slip...

something about losing a "sheet" to his speech. Who the heck would say "sheet"?
Most people would say "page". This is along the same lines of the "I can't wait to hang it" episode, too.
These criminals love in-your-face insults.

[glitch]

17. WIth nasty little boots smirking behind him. Third grade "in" jokes.

About their level.

[blm]

30. The Bush family has for decades pulled snide shit like this.

.

[glitch]

31. They are the only ones who think they are cute. Even their sycophants

must despise them.

[hfojvt]

8. I think you may have it wrong

but I need some numbers. What percentage of American households have cable TV. I only watch "free" TV myself, so all I hear of this, besides the internet, is the sound-bites they put on ABC news et. al. What Bush got out of it was a half minute sound bite, making him look like a reasonable person who paid tribute to Mrs. King. This is pretty effective free advertising to a very large audience.

OTOH it seems kinda similar to me to how Clinton spoke well of Goldwater when he died (although I do not think he spoke at his funeral). From my perspective then, it seemed like he was giving Goldwater far too much credit. In my guts, I still knew he was nuts.

[blm]

11. Sure, make the moderate white people believe he cares about civil rights

just because of a picture they see on tv. I know that. That's a BYPRODUCT of today for him. I was just describing his TRUE self.

[MissWaverly]

19. I think something is going on here

Like Bush stalling on giving aid to the Gulf Coast and now he's down at the funeral, I heard
that the Bush attendance at the funeral was a last minute decision. I have a hunch it is
to cut a deal but for what?

[bleever]

12. He was saying "Who cares what you think?" in front of all of us, AND

now the RW media bullies are out there screaming because people DARED to point out the things that Mrs. King believed in when * is sitting there.

He really puts the POS into the POTUS.

[A Simple Game]

13. I agree completely. n/t

[KittyWampus]

14. Now WHAT Was That Southern Strategy Thingy Again?

[EFerrari]

15. He is a small man with a smaller soul. Long, long after

he is forgotten, the life celebrated today will still be bearing fruit.

[IndyOp]

16. He's still throwing a temper tantrum at the WH tonight --

They were supposed to be kissing his hairy arse anyway - as he sat there in his disrespectful slouching posture, giggling at his Daddy's jokes -

A man who rapes his child expects that child to worship him afterwords. No matter how callous, they do notice and they do feel rage - dangerous rage - if the child does not worship.

It is appropriate to feel disgust and rage at his exceptional behavior.

I thought the extent of his juvenile behavior and the clear contrast to *all* of the other Presidents on that stage - Bush I, Clinton, and Carter - were hopeful signs.

I am increasingly convinced that Carter will step directly into the line of fire - literal fire - to stop this madman (...and I pray that no one will have to).

[blm]

28. I had hoped that the recently departed Pope would step forward and speak

aloud his suspicion that Bush was the antiChrist. Guess his underlings like the current fascist in charge kept that quiet.

[TayTay]

18. You may be right blm.

Bush is a graceless and disrespectful piece of crap. I have no doubt that he wanted to go to this funeral in order to provoke the reaction he got. Then he can get 'fake' sympathy from his sycophantic admirers.

[flordehinojos]

20. thank you for your beautifully worded, truth telling post.

[EVDebs]

21. MLK and Coretta, both victims of illegal domestic spying operations

How fitting that another proponent of domestic spying seeks to sanitize himself by attending the service. Maybe a 'Damascus Road' moment is possible, but the idiot says he's been saved already (he just doesn't act like it, that's all).

[Bluebear]

22. POST OF THE DAY. nt

[katamaran]

23. "Coretta Scott King died? Well, send a card to Don King for me..."

"Coretta Scott King died? Well, send a card to Don King for me..."

Why do I see Chimpy saying that?!?

[gardenista]

24. You got that right!

Had he, nor any of his sleazy cronies not been present, had it been a true gathering of those who respected, loved, and carried on the work of Coretta Scott King, the Rovian media machine would not have been able to spin this as a Wellstone service redux.

They have NO SHAME!

It was calculated, planned, and clearly successful.

May Bush meet Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King one day on the other side. But I suppose that he won't be going to the same place.

[lies and propaganda]

26. perfect synopsis.

these people are batshit.

[JI7]

27. totally agree

[peekaloo]

32. Yep. Burying the civil rights movement.

probably ordering a few more wiretaps, too.

[blm]

34. And now they have media to cover up for all their unjust intentions.

.

[mattclearing]

33. Word. n/t

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

35. Molly Ivins described it years ago, remember.

She said that every time they do a photo op, they are doing something rotten to the people in the photo op in one way or another with their true actions.

I have never been able to get out of my head, what Bush said on the day Paul Wellstone died. He was not acting sad at all, he was smirking hatefully and said, "I'm sorry for the loss of the Senate." I really felt that the creep meant that the Democrats would lose the Senate and he was happy about that, not that the country had just had a great loss.

[blm]

37. I always think that exact same thing - he will gut any program he pretends

outwardly to support.

[bloom]

36. Bush put on a shameful performance

his slouching posture - his expressions - as he was sitting behind the other speakers. Usually he makes some attempt to act presidential.

I didn't see any such attempt yesterday. I could hardly believe that jackass is our president.


That he is making himself out to be the victim is just ridiculous.

[blm]

38. No kidding - he should have had media attacking HIS immaturity and

petulance, yet they all attack Dems, instead.

[opihimoimoi]

39. Bush is not a POSITIVE PERSON....he is a NEGATIVE...his polarity

is Fucked

Look at the Damage he describes as Progress.
