"I've got God's shoulder to cry on." . . .I am going to become seriously ill.


WASHINGTON - Under that famously self-confident exterior is a president who weeps a lot.

President Bush told the author of a new book on his presidency that "I try not to wear my worries on my sleeve" or show anything less than steadfastness in public, especially in a time of war.

"I fully understand that the enemy watches me, the Iraqis are watching me, the troops watch me, and the people watch me," he said. Yet, he said, "I do tears."

"I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow." :puke:

2. Too bad he never cries at any soldier's funeral
Never saw him cry for the victims of Katrina, either. Seemed to be having a good time that week, eating cake and playing the guitar.

9. and he and pickles laughed themselves to sleep
on September 11, 2001 -

President 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. Like the way things are. 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 --

Mrs. Bush: I don't have my contacts in, and I'm in my fuzzy house slippers --

President 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 upstairs and go to bed.

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

Noonan: So the day starts in tragedy and ends in Marx Brothers.

President Bush: That's right -- we got a laugh out of it.

18. as in it is not true
or she didn't realize that her article would haunt the gruesome twosome forever, that her reporting of their laughter the night so many cried themselves to sleep would be all that she will ever be remembered for and no amount of ass kissing or aerosol will remove the odor from our nation's history and their legacy.

19. Exactly, SHE made that piece of crap up..
I never want to hear again what a great writer she is. I've read more believable shit in science fiction fantasy novels.

20. You don't think Laura and George
were clueless that night and actually found the fuzzy slippers and t-shirts and concerns of the SS agents to be funny?

Honestly, that is the only part of her article I do believe.

The way they have run the nation over the last 6 years let's me know that are clueless when it comes to human suffering and the impact their decisions have on the same. Just keep shopping folks.

21. I think they probably did the usual..
downed a few cocktails, swallowed a few pills, and slept a blissfully clueless slumber.

22. When you are the "Great One" you don't need clues
He uses his Gut and God -

Off subject, but, notice how world leaders look at george during photo ops. It is how we look at someone when we realize we are dealing/speaking with someone that is insane. This embarrassment can't end soon enough.

12. "I 'do' tears"?
I DO tears?
What a fabulously sensitive way to express yourself.

Do you "do" grief?
Do you "do" anguish?

God, I hate him...

14. Only tears chimp sheds are tears of self-pity. It's all
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 10:25 AM by LibDemAlways
about him. Boo-hoo nobody likes me. Make them stop.

On edit: Just looked at another thread. Seems chimp is actually quoted in the book saying, "This is a job where you can have a lot of self-pity." OMG. He's admitting those tears ARE shed for himself. He is one sick fucker.

26. What the fuck does he have to cry about?
His entire life is nothing more than privilege and wealth. He's never had one single moment in his life that he could cry over.

27. When Chimps Cry
it makes a big, sad hole in the sky and then God cries too and it rains...

Poor, sad Chimpy.

Nobody cries like him.
