Andrew Card was here last night - this is a wonderful story

[proud2BlibKansan]

Andrew Card was here last night. I was unable to go but several of my friends were there and reported the following wonderful story:

After the event, my friends were in the parking lot talking. One of them is a man who was electrocuted many years ago and lost one arm and one leg and is in a wheelchair. He is a regular member of our protest group and people often assume he is a veteran who lost his limbs in a war. He always corrects this misconception. So last night he is sitting in the parking lot after Card's talk and Card comes out and walks over towards a car that is taking him wherever he is going. He sees my friend in his wheelchair, motions to the driver to wait and comes running over to him.

Card says "Thank you for coming and for your service. I would like to shake your hand." And my friend says

"No sir, you may not shake my hand. You are a war criminal and you and the entire Bush administration belong in prison!"

Card slunk back to his car and left. My friend never explained to him that he was not a veteran.

1. Wow! Ha! Good for him.

Opportunistic jerk Card had it coming.

So is CArd running for office or something? Write a book? Who let him out of his cage?

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Apparently he is friends with the president of the university that invited him to speak

He said he was writing a book but it isn't out yet.

Wonder if he will include this story? :rofl:

[donco6]

8. Snort! Oh yeah - page 1.

He'll make it a story about how the leftists hate him. Which would be the only true part of the book.

[mascarax]

14. Ha! Bet that's one story that won't make his book

Didn't Card recently float the idea that he'd run for Teddy's Senate seat?

My favorite Card story was in Paul O'Neill's book. Right before or after O'Neill was hired as Treasury Secretary, he was meeting with Dubya. Dubya called Card in and said something like, "Aren't you the Chief of Staff? Can't you russle us up a couple of cheeseburgers?" So Card is used to slinking off. (Can you imagine Rahm taking that?!)

And, of course, another "Dubya: What an Asshole" story.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Yes my friends said he was talking about running for Teddy's seat

[Solly Mack]

2. That's how they all should be treated

(since they aren't in prison where they should be)

[Fridays Child]

3. Card is a hoser*.

*Hoser - A 1930s, Canadian gas siphoning thief (I learned this on Cash Cab, today.)

[stuball111]

13. Is Card an American?

I see he isn't, please don't insult us "Hosers" . (It's true though, I am Canadian born, and didn't know where the term came from until a while ago!)

[Fridays Child]

15. Too late. Although the derivation of the term is Canadian...

...it has long been adopted by our side of the border. Many thanks for such a useful pejorative. :hi:

[stuball111]

17. Hmmmmph!

Mericans steal all our good stuff... next you'll be claiming Hockey as American, and the plastic garbage bag (Invented in Canada) You from the Upper peninsula by chance? Minnesota? northern Wisconsin? I worked up there a while ago and felt right at home.... they all sad "Eh" :rofl: I'll have you know I live in the US now, and I'm looking for ideas to steal down here, but private, for-profit health care doesn't seem to be a good idea.

[Jackpine Radical]

23. The device used by a hoser is generally called

an Arkansas credit card. How it got to Canada I have no idea.

Forgive me, Arkansans.

[stuball111]

28. I remember a guy ...

With a funny accent passin through town many years ago....he was carrying a banjo....

[DeeDeeNY]

27. I used to love Cash Cab!!

I didn't even know it was still on running.

[Demit]

4. Hahahahaha! There is something deeply satisfying about that story.

Thanks for relating it!

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I just love it!

And as someone above said, that's exactly how all of them should be treated for the rest of their lives.

[Captain Hilts]

7. Don't forget that Card bounced Jimmy Carter - a truly religious man from JPII's funeral.

No one was sure what political flunkie was doing at the service when a former prez had been bounced out of the line up.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I hadn't heard that!

What a slime!!

[Overseas]

9. K&R. Well done. //nt

[FarLeftRage]

10. That is such a heart-warming story...

I fervently hope that more and more people get the chance to say this to any and all of the war criminals.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Amen

[AllieB]

16. Card was entertaining a run for Senator in Mass.

he's from here. We were hoping that he would so the pathetic MA Republican party would set a record for most resounding loss by a candidate. All they would have to show was a clip of andy Card whispering to Dubya while he read 'My Pet Goat' on 9/11 and the election would be over.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Yes apparently he brought up his possible run for that seat last night

[beac]

25. I hope that brought a hearty round of boos. n/t

[annabanana]

32. Well . . It *would* be entertaining . . . .

YOu'd be able to hear the guffaws clear to Berkely.

[UTUSN]

18. A wingnut accused me of racism when I called Colon/Condo/Clarence/Gonzo "houseboys"

I said the phenomenon has NOTHING to do with racism, that other HOUSEBOYS are:

MIERS, CARD, and many others of the same ILK. It has to do with MEDIOCRITY!1

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Well the latest thing to the right is thanking veterans

I and my BIL have told a couple of these losers, we don't want your thanks, we want the services we need, oh the troops want the supplies they need. And if you can spare it, your service as well

Usually that leaves them cold.

And good for your friend

[butterfly77]

22. I watched him and Joe Wilson throughout the Bush adm..

and these are similar both of these wimps always pushed for war, and would show up on cspan spouting all of the rightwing talking points. Wilson always would show up talking over himself and stumbling trying his best to get out every word before his time ran out if he was doing an interview.

I noticed how angry Card was about Pres Obama and I believe a few months ago he was on Morning Joe, talking big shit. Both of these guys come off as scary but always want war. I believe that is why Wilson got so angry at the President because they are really some of the nuttiest of them all. They seem like they have been sheltered from different races in the country and it irritates the hell out of them that he is President.

[beac]

24. Good for him! And in a way, he IS a veteran-- as we all are--

of the Eight Years War On The Constitution

:patriot:

[Piewhacket]

26. Not a vet? Please tell him he doesn't have to be a vet,

to be a patriot.

This is for him.
:patriot:

[malaise]

29. Perfect

just perfect. The war criminals need to hear this often.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. We must never be silent

[Cha]

31. That is a random act of

Pricelessness!
