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.

I'd be crying too, if my legacy for all of history was "worst president ever".

Bush gives everyone he knows cutesy little nicknames so he doesn't have to take the time to learn real people's name. Maybe by "God" he's using his nickname for Cheney?

YOU cry a lot??????

Millions say they cry more...

BTW, that shill Katie Couric was on Face the Nation minutes a go, crowing that the surge is working. That idiot senator Graham is crowing that too. Now Bob Schieffer will have to eat crow? Commercial first, for a sleeping pill, AmbienCR. Side-effects of course are sleeping during the day and while you are in the polling place. Sigh.

SCRIPTED bull-hockey.

Ugh.

Did you notice the "bustling market" Katie was strolling through, as an example of improved security in Iraq? There were armed soldiers about every six feet along the way, although I didn't see any Blackhawks overhead. I guess Katie doesn't rate as highly as McCain.

They didn't print the entire title, it's "The Freedom Institute for the Mentally and Criminal Incapacitated". And by "serving", they meant they found a job he is capable of. He will be serving Freedom Fries in the cafeteria althou he will not be allowed anywhere near the frier.

Maybe he can shed tears when he's convicted of being a war criminal and he's in Guantanemo? Then again, if torture is good enough for everybody else, why not him?

We need a reprise of the lovely segment where Clem breaks the president (Nixon) in "We're all Bozos on this Bus" by the Firesign Theater.

Kiddies, this is a gem of a parody of White House control going down the tubes.

It's in Amazon...

Why not Impeachment based on lies to go to war in Iraq. Intellegence conjured up by the CIA based on his direction or command in order to go to war in Iraq.

He forced the CIA to cause the war. That would purge the nation and set the record straight.

The truth will set us free. He is not above the law. They are not above the law and to let them run and hide now would cause more worse to come.

A born again Christian that has risen to the hiegts he has would have let God guide him. He let big Oil, the war complex his own greed.

Election fixing,organized crime and otherwise serving Satan rule his life and then to come out and invoke Gods name.

I seen a movie one time where a space man with white eyes kept saying "I come in peace while he tried to shoot everyone with his gun.

I come in God's name while I send you child to war for Hali and Carlyle owned by my dads profit.

It's time for the American people to realize that with Bush it may be more than politics, we may have a president that is ill.

To profess to cry on God's shoulder and continue to harm so many people sounds truly like he needs evaluation by mental health professionals.

It's very sad that continues without either oversight or intervention.

This weak-minded, hypocritical, pitiful excuse for a man is not driven by his religion: it's all about his ego. He needs to leave a greater mark on history than his daddy did. It's not apparent that he recognizes the difference between a mark of distinction and a stain, though.
As the time clock winds down and his opportunities for turning things around dwindle, look for this piece of shit to try to go out in a blaze of glory and take an awful lot of people with him - unless we impeach the retarded cocksucker NOW.

MOTHERS FOR ANSWERS
DON'T CRY FOR ME, HALLI-EXXON

Sixty-two is really young...and yet I’ll be through with MY presidency."

Not to mention how long it's been through with you.

Anyone counted the number of I and me in this?

But by now he must have the art of losing down.
Maybe it's what we get for making our leader an inept, hands-on trained ,entitleme­nt-besotte­d, feckess lifetime failure?
62 gives us long enough to see him serve a sentence as Napoleonic as his delusions are.

When he remembers the Alamo, he should remember that it's probably the most appropriate place possible to be re-named the Dubyous Bush Memorial.


Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry U.S. a river
Cry U.S. our rivers
We’ve cried a delta over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry U.S. a river
Cry U.S. polluted rivers
Cause we’ve cried, we’ve cried
We’ve cried our armies over you

You drove U.S.
Done drove U.S. into the wrong place
While you never shed a tear
Remember?

We remember all that you said
Told U.S. Saddam was too plebeian
Told U.S. mission accomplished and
Now you say you say more money,honey
Well, just to prove you do

Come on and cry U.S. a river
Cry U.S. a river
We’ve cried an oil scam over you

You drove U.S.
Nearly drove U.S. out of our heads
While you never shed a tear
Remember?

We remember all that you said
Told U.S. the UN was too plebeian
Told U.S. you were in the true...
And now, now you say you need bucks
Well, just to prove you do...

If our Constitution could talk
Imagine what it would've said
T'would be a delta of tears
We cried mis-led
So you can cry U.S. dirty rivers
Dubyous, go ahead, cry U.S. ruined rivers
Cause we cried
the Mississippi River over you

Don't cry too much Jose.

Bush reminds me of the old comedian Bill Dana's nervous hispanic astronaut bit.

Steve Allen: What is your name sir?
Dana: My name Jose Humanez. I am an astronaut.
Steve Allen: What will you do during the space flight.
Dana: I plan to cry a lot.

"There were a few problems before lift-off, one of which is particularly interesting. One of the explosive bolts which held the hatch in place was misaligned, and it had to be replaced. After a thirty-minute delay, the count resumed. An hour and a half passed before Gus heard, “Five… four… three… two… one,” and just before lift off, Alan Shepard came across the radio and said, “Don’t cry too much.”" Take off on Steve Allen show!

And why have the troops had to purchase their own body armor? Why have the vets had to lie in their own filth at Walter Reed? Why are the soldiers being used and pushed to the limits of their ability to function? Why are suicides at an all time high.

Cry you mealy mouthed bastard. Take your war god and choke.
