Bush: "I've Got God's Shoulder To Cry On, And I Cry A Lot"

New York Times:

In response to Mr. Draper's observance that Mr. Bush had nobody's "shoulder to cry on," the president said: "Of course I do, I've got God's shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot." In what Mr. Draper interpreted as a reference to war casualties, Mr. Bush added, "I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count as president."

Yet Mr. Bush said his certainty that Iraq would turn around for the better was not for show. "You can't fake it," he told Mr. Draper in December.

Just reading the rambling of this clown should make it clear to even his staunchest supporters that while the lights may be on there is nobody home.

If "Jesus" was an actual person instead of a mythological, completely fictional character, and he were to show up and see what these Bible thumping hypocrites are doing in his name, ol' Jesus would not be able to stop throwing up.

This is the son that Babs and big George can control along with their "one world order" lunatic fringe friends. The other sons are off and about doing their own dirty nasty Bush type people hurting shit. Cry my tush! These blocked tear duct assholes are just too close to the Black Forest--if you catch my drift.

We all cry, too. The parents who have lost children, husbands, wives, grandchildren in this invasion cry also. Laura stated that "No one suffers more than the president and me over Iraq." Really? I find that hard to believe. You should also shed tears over the Iraqui people. They suffered under Saddam, but under Bush their lives became nightmares. The only tears Bush sheds are tears of joy on seeing his bank account, due to this invasion.

George, I know God, He is a friend of mine. He told me He has neither seen nor heard from you in quite sometime.

Hasn't there been enough human carnage done in the name of someone's messiah so as to cloak the true greed and coveting of another. Humanity's religions are now posed to literally destroy the Eden everyone's Creator made for us to be gardeners sharing its bounty without committing fratricide in the name of someone's interpretation of theri religious text transcribed by people of power and elite from centuries old oral stories of the orginal followers of Christ and his other given names based upon one's religion.
The one prevalent problem with interpretations is what stays or is left out and upon whose authority was it made. So in essence centuries of human carnage invoked by religious dogma or justification has been based on a transcribed version of events that was then taught as dogma to accepting followers never knowing what in fact was left out or tweaked.
Followers of Family Values, mega-churches, evangelicals and GOP morality members affirm within yourselves nature's directed changing seasons, animals' natural migrations while humanity is imbued with its inner spirituality requirong no leader since it's better to follow one's inner truths that hitch one's anchor to a leader possessing self serving needs that leads to dissembling of truths.
World leaders are posed to destroy Eden beneath our very feet when we allow them and ourselves to self righteously destroy one another with each murderous blow and religious justified killing of the other where ever it may occur on earth while vainly possessing the self annointed certitude of Lucifer berfore his castigation.
We are destrouing ourselves and Eden due the to religious hatred those who would present themselves as os pious, so assured, yet think nothing of imposing their beliefs upon anothers even if that results in subjugation and death.
What gains humanity if the results of our self annointed delusional Goldliness results in the destruction of Eden where man committed the first killing of another and will end the same way?
Piety is not a virtur to hold against another because it then becomes a weapon of pride, the deadliest sin of all.

Yes, George "Grab some black people who look like they might be preachers" Bush, you CAN AND DO FAKE IT.

With 3,739 dead and 27,662 wounded soldiers and hundreds of thousands dead Iraqis, Bush should be on his knees every night asking God to forgive him for starting a ginned up war on a country that did nothing to the US.

He cries alot because when he speaks with God, God is constantly telling him "No".
No more War, no more killing in my name, no more lying to the American people.
This sets off another crying jagg and George, the willful, spoiled little toddler, stamps his feet and says "YES! I can!"
As a result, all of us cry. And will for years to come.
