After delivering a speech at a leadership conference in Abu Dhabi, former President George Herbert Walker Bush was forced to defend his son from verbal attacks from the "hostile audience," on the same day that a new poll reveals that more Americans preferred the first Bush president.

"We do not respect your son," a woman in the audience told Bush. "We do not respect what he's doing all over the world." The Associated Press reported that "Bush appeared stunned as the audience of young business leaders whooped and whistled in approval" at the woman's comments, coming after the "retired president had just finished a folksy address on leadership by telling the audience how deeply hurt he feels when his son the president is criticized."

According to the AP, Bush's voice "quivered" in response. "This son is not going to back away," Bush said. "He's not going to change his view because some poll says this or some poll says that, or some heartfelt comments from the lady who feels deeply in her heart about something."

"You can't be president of the United States and conduct yourself if you're going to cut and run," Bush 41 continued. "This is going to work out in Iraq. I understand the anxiety. It's not easy." The former president lost his cool with one audience member, calling him "crazy" and recommending that he "go back to school."

1. Denial is not a river in Egypt

perhaps Poppy could use a refresher course in Reality.

2. "You can't be president of the United States and conduct yourself if you're going to cut and run,"

What exactly is he saying? Is he saying that more and more people in Iraq should die, including US military, simply so his son can "conduct" himself? That sounds like he's saying the dying must continue in order for * to save face.

What sick, twisted planet are these people from?

9. But wait... HE DID! (according to the PNAC crowd)

Aren't we in this mess, to hear some pro-war geeks tell it, because Pappy pulled out before killing the bull?

3. Boo m_____ f______ hoo

Paybacks are a bitch, aren't they?

[Virginia Dare]

4. Prepare for the shit to hit the fan...

when Poppy goes to an Arab country and gets a hostile response because of his idiot son, when people start to openly challenge him on his greed and avarice, that has to make him, shall we say, displeased.

[Human Torch]

7. Yes, and also when Poppy returns the hostility in an Arab country...

...that's not going to settle well with his Saudi masters. Doesn't he know he's supposed to smile and shake hands and keep it limited to that?

On one hand I'd like to respect him for biting the hand that's fed him all these years, but on the other, all of the rest of his crap keeps the scales tipped in the favor of "Poppy SUCKS."

My favorite moment was in the 1992 campaign, on MTV, when she was riding the "Bush Train" and interviewing him and he just went friggin nuts on her, snapped, told her not to interrupt, and informed her that he did indeed have "a plan for America's youth" (which he didn't reveal).

:patriot:

5. YOU BOTH SUCK!

Why don't you go skydiving without a parachute or something?

[wryter2000]

6. Your son is still alive

Go ask for sympathy from Cindy Sheehan. Dipwad. :mad:

[flordehinojos]

8. TRUE TO HIS REVOLTING SCHIZOPHRENOGENIC SELF.

if his revolting son is doing so okay why the hell did the revolting father set up this IRAQ STUDY GROUP?

schizophrenogenic: say one thing-mean another.

[silverweb]

10. Pretty pathetic.

When a dotty old man has to come out of retirement to once again try to clean up the mess his sociopathic, good-for-nothing son has created.

Hurry up and run to your "secure family compound" in the jungles of Paraguay, will you?

The entire BFEE just needs to be banned from all civilized society.

[hatrack]

11. Stick your lower lip back in and suck it up, Father Of The Chimp

He's a fuck-up, he's fucked up this country, he's fucked up the world and most people know it.

Apparently you do not.

Tough shit.

[wordpix]

16. "Father of the Chimp," LOL, having a good laugh over that, thanks for the comic relief

[chaska]

12. Quoth Bush I: "Peasants...!"

[xkenx]

13. Aw, they're attacking poor widdle Bushie-wushie. Boo fuckin' hoo.

[Bad Penny]

14. I can see the Bush family's power grip crumbling

like the Ceausescu's because of what dubya has put in motion. The old man must be very, very frightened behind the facade

[wordpix]

15. like father like son, how diplomatic to call an audience member "crazy"

What a cabal of criminals.

[GreenArrow]

17. Maybe they should have gotten Karen Hughes to do this

Oh yeah, they didn't believe her lying ass either.

The old man is every bit the liar his son is, maybe worse.

18. From the full AP story:

"One audience member asked the former president what kind of advice he gives his son on Iraq, a military matter the elder Bush is widely thought to have handled with more wisdom.

Bush said the presence of reporters in the audience prevented him from revealing his advice, or, for that matter, what policies the bipartisan Baker Commission ought to urge the president to follow in Iraq.

"I have strong opinions on a lot of these things. But the reason I can't voice them is, if I did what you ask me to do — tell you what advice I give my son — that would then be flashed all over the world,"

Bush said. "If it happened to deviate one iota, one little inch, from what the president's doing or thinks he ought to be doing, it would be terrible. It'd bring great anxiety not only to him but to his supporters."

I thought Junior said he doesn't talk to his dad about this, that he talks to a "higher Father". So which one is lying?

19. CNNese...

"More popular" = CNNese for "Slightly less despicable and marginally less dense."

It's like a whole new language.
