15. False?
Snopes says its false becuase Poodle Blair's PR people says so? Snopes does a good job overall, but they do have a RW bias when it comes to politics. I don't think that Poodle Blair's PR people are a good source to discredit the story.

19. unfortunately, that on is almost certainly apocryphal
was told as a joke, IIRC; one of those as told to by someone who heard it said by someone else.

female MP told it, I think, attributed to someone else.

I read a bunch of links that debunked this when it first came out--will check and see what I can find.

that said, there are some great ones linked, and I a have Weisberg's slight book of Bushisms sitting here in front of me, as well as one published of #41's, which are just as good. I remember reading a few of those over the phone to a friend, and I had to stop, cause we were both laughing so hard, we couldn't BREATHE!

and where's that picture of him with the little girl in the classroom, clearly reading with her, holding a book upside down? seen that?

If he really took his own SATs, and got a 1230, he must've done some serious drinking/drugging to fry that many brain cells

7. Can you believe this Shit

Anyone of his supporters or someone at Faux care to explain this mind fuck.

The man is either developmentally challenged or high as a kite.

This is unbelievable that this is what it has come to.

50% of Americans think this is a good thing ?

He's a good guy?

No No No

He is a fucking imbecile.

Now all freeps lurking (& we know how you luv to lurk) repeat after me. The pResident of the USA is a complete imbecile as evidenced by the shit that spills out of his brain on a daily basis.

16. "we seek justice out of love" -- spoken in OKC?
"They act out of hatred; we don't seek revenge, we seek justice out of love." —George W. Bush, Oklahoma City, Aug. 29, 2002

Unbelievable. That this guy had the gall to utter these words in Oklahoma City, where so many people were murdered and then the USA turned around and murdered McVeigh in what was nothing but a clear act of REVENGE is disgusting. :puke:
