Bush to Jesse Jackson: "He said, 'I'll check with Karl Rove.' "

[wndycty]

What a fucking asshole. . .put this shit on blast (that means tell everybody).

Give em hell Jesse, give em hell!

There was nothing light-hearted about Jackson's post-speech remarks. He criticized Bush for naming every black in his administration during his speech but not mentioning Attorney General John Ashcroft, Vice President Dick Cheney or Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

"These are the guys who are driving the agenda," Jackson said.

He also criticized Bush initiatives that he said have resulted in fewer police officers on the street and the curtailment of after-school programs.

Jackson seemed particularly peeved about his brief post-speech chat with Bush.

"I asked him can we meet and discuss one single issue: the counting of our vote. . . . I said can we meet to discuss this issue because a million black voters were disenfranchised in 2000," Jackson said. "He said, 'I'll check with Karl Rove.' "

1. Have your mommy call my mommy.

Bush only goes on playdates.

2. Because he doesn't care...who will report this?

It will fall by the wayside like every other thing he's done. It will go unnoted like his scurrilous remarks about black gagging on the donkey.

7. At least he didn't say

He would have to check with his "Higher Father" - unless he meant Karl Rove when he said that before.

Hmmmmmmm

9. I agree. I read this quote on another thread,

and I got pissed when I read it. "I'll check with Karl Rove". What exactly does this mean? And why is BeeleBrain wasting his time begging for the Black vote, when they don't get to vote anyway?

And obviously the question came up.

10. Bush is a powerless shill. What a dangerous person since he is not

in control. We MUST remove this Republican shill.

11. So * is gonna check with his brain?

One would think that after begging for their votes, * would definitely want to address the matter of black voter disenfranchisement in 2000, which apparently will be a continuing problem in the '04 election. * has to check with his brain first, though. :crazy: Lets see, * wants their votes, but doesn't care if they can actually vote. Could he be anymore disingenuous?
