this man has no shame

[Skittles]

1. gawd

Surely his handlers won't let him. What an utter embarrassment. This man has no freaking conscience - have you ever seen him try to mimic empathy, sorrow? It makes him look constipated.

21. TOO BAD THE CHIMPANZEE WON'T GREET OURS

He's afraid of the parents that will call him a murderer.

He is Scum

[MaineDem]

2. WHAT?????

Isn't this a major slap in the face to the hundreds of families here in the US?

What a POS he is!

10. My thoughts precisely.

Not one funeral attended nor one private meeting with American soldiers families but oh he goes to Britain and since Rove decided it'll be a great photo op to show his "compassionate concern" :puke: to help his less than zero image with the British people he falls all over himself to put on a dog and pony show for the cameras. This shows you the utter craven callousness of the man. EVERYTHING is cold political calculus. No meetings or funerals here since it would remind people of his stupid folly but when he is there he can bank on the truncated nature of American media coverage and people's lack of attention to foreign news to minimize any negative blowback. Feelings and emotions do not enter into the equation thus things like this are "fun" to him.

[uhhuh]

17. Makes Perfect sense

Since they have much stricter gun control laws in England.
While I certainly don't wish any harm to befall the chimp, I think this may be the reason that he doesn't meet with the families of American troops.

22. I would think so and

he talked about the death of the Italian soldiers without a mention of ANY of ours. This pathetic excuse for a person is ONLY concerned with getting other countries to come in and clean up HIS mess so he can pull our troops out, declare victory, and try and get elected, and then start another war to please his fascist puppetmasters. Can anyone but us see through this insanity?

[Lefta Dissenter]

3. A moron, just an incredible moron (my apologies to morons worldwide)

he says the trip should be "a really interesting and fun experience".

FUN??? FUN?????????????

I am speechless. And that's quite an accomplishment.

[Fridays Child]

6. This is the same moron who said, at the end of 2001...

"...all in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me."

Tin heart.

[54anickel]

23. The world exists soley for his pleasure! ARRRRRGH

This idiot! So freaking selfish! "It's all about ME" attitude.

He also made it clear that he would do his best to bolster the prime minister's political standing at the same time.
Then stay the hell away!

"a really interesting and fun experience".
Never mind what the local merchants, government and police are going to have through to entertain your sorry ass!

"One, the prayers of the American people and the prayers of the president are with them as they suffer.
Elitist bastard! Actually I am grateful he is separating himself from the rest of the American population.

"I'm really looking forward to spending time with my friend - and I emphasise 'my friend' - Tony Blair,"
See first quote - that will help Tony out alot - NOT!

"Never once has he said to me, ever, 'gosh, I'm feeling terrible pressure'," Mr Bush said. "I have never heard him complain about the polls, or wring his hands. The relationship is a very good relationship because I admire him, and I admire somebody who stands tough."
See above

Mr Bush said he was looking forward to the opportunity to make his case for the war. He said he had ordered the invasion on two principles: to "secure America" and to promote a free society in Iraq.
Can't bring myself to dignify this with a comment- the man is obviously clueless as to the reason for the protests.

IDIOT SON OF AN ASSHOLE!!!

[librechik]

4. better put on the Kevlar flight suit for that!

the Brits look and act meek at first, but did Shrub ever see a Shakespearean play?

(What am I saying!)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. What, like MacBush?

Saw that one.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Link to whole story

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1084860,00.html

...and you're right, rchsod...he has no shame, and seems to be busy campaigning to be king of the world...what an idiot.

Gee, ya think he's just really trying to show those families that he's taking some of the blame for their losses? Yeah...you go (to hell), Georgie Porgie

[madrchsod]

7. thanks

i type really slow....

[leesa]

8. Good. I hope they beat him to a bloody pulp.

[JackSwift]

9. He'll chicken out beforehand

there is no way he has enough courage to look a bereaved mother in the eye.

[baby_bear]

14. Oh, this is rich: I thought it was The Onion I was reading.

"Obviously, staying at Buckingham Palace is going to be an historic moment. I never dreamt when I was living in Midland, Texas, that I would be staying in Buckingham Palace," he said, joking that he would have to rent a morning suit for the occasion.

In fact, Mr Bush is no stranger to royalty. He met the Queen in Washington when his father was president.

According to an account of that 1992 encounter, the Queen asked him whether he was "the black sheep in the family".

"I guess that might be true," Mr Bush said. The Queen reportedly responded by saying every family had one.

15. utterly contemptible . . .

every day brings yet one more reason to hate this administration and those who populate it . . . the man has no conscience whatsoever . . . everything he does is pure political calculation . . . the last time I said something was so stupid that he couldn't possibly do it had to do with invading Iraq . . . he proved me wrong then, no reason to think he won't repeat himself . . . unbelievable . . .

[jonoboy]

16. a good thing

he may actually get an ear bashing from some of these people

[LivingInTheBubble]

18. Do you think he will meet these parents?

"War relative's message for Bush"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/3270041.stm

and
"Bush 'meeting troops' families for his own gain'"
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_838291.html

they are both currently headline news on the respective news sites.

19. W has no shame nor any sense either

Here's what the Brits have to say about our very own moron in chief:

It is not only Bush the Chicken-hawk warmonger and promoter-in-chief of the great illusion about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction who they will be denouncing. It is also Bush the ignorant, self-righteous Christian warrior, Bush the smirking executioner and Bush the believer in one law for America and another for everyone else. And, of course, Bush the "Toxic Texan", an image made flesh by the "ghost ships" bearing down on Hartlepool, whose US-produced contaminants will find a last resting place on Britain's unpolluted isle.

From the sounds of it, the Brits are not real happy to have W visiting their country and are willing to tell him just what they think of him. Should be a real fun trip?
