I just cant get over this Bush quote on Terri Schaivo's death.
Bush-"I appreciate the example of grace and dignity they have displayed at a difficult time."

F--ing hilarious. If that is what you call grace and dignity, I would hate to see Bush's interpretation of ungraceful and undignified.

3. I think we have to consider this doublespeak, like "Clear Skies"
and "Healthy Forests" In the Bush Administration, it's Opposite Day, every day.

4. at least he didn't say "dignitude"
If ths was dignified, what would have been undignified? Topless Janet Jackson standing guard outside the hospital? Maybe if they would have moved her bed to a strip club and held midget jello wrestling week after the feeding tube was pulled? OMG, way to ignore the facts and see what you want to see.

5. That's on a par with his "we must promote a culture of life" remark!
Apparently that does not include 100,000 Iraqis he is responsible for killing....He has a very phony, selective morality...

6. Yes, I heard him say that.
He really can't know what grace and dignity mean if he can say something like that. Who are "they" anyway?

Well, he really didn't know what he was saying, because, as usual, he was reading his script. What a jackass!

9. My son says "I can't convince myself this man is really the president of
the United States, even though I know it's true."...I know what he means....I hear Bush announced "and now, here's the president," and I always have a feeling of "naw, that's not really the president!"

8. This line was my favorite
"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak"

All talk, no action.

I guess this means he's no longer a Republican, because that goes completely against their platform.

10. Not to mention that he's responsible for the killing of 100,000 weak Iraqi
citizens!

12. Its a typo: He was praising dancing bears "Grace" and "Digby"
at the Schiavo circus.

13. I guess the Jugglers for God and Unicycles for Jesus were dignified
in chimpies mind.
The juggler was asked "why are you here" and he replied "God told me to come and juggle".
I am not making this up.
Very dignified and gracefull....
