Bush to Oprah: 'I'm through with politics'
Former president discusses his memoir with talk show host

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40094212/ns/today-books/

Bush recounted anecdotes from his eight-year presidency -- Winfrey described the book as "being inside his head as he makes decisions" -- and personal asides such as his first full day after departing the world's most powerful job.

"So, I'm lying on the couch and (wife Laura) walks in and I say 'free at last,' and she says 'you're free all right, you're free to do the dishes.' So I say, 'You're talking to the former president, baby,' and she said, 'consider (this) your new domestic policy agenda,'" Bush said to laughter.

On a serious note, Bush's eyes filled with tears when he talked about consoling widows of soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Asked to weigh in on politics, Bush demurred, saying he would not "wade back into the swamp."

1. Yeah, the tears of anger for all those wasted minutes he could have spent on vacation

or feeding his over-extended ego in other ways.

he doesn't give a shit about the soldiers, their spouses, their parents, their children, except insofar as their presence is something he can use for political gain (yay!) or are an annoyance to him (boo!).

5. Even his offhand comments are scripted
"So, I'm lying on the couch and (wife Laura) walks in and I say 'free at last,' and she says 'you're free all right, you're free to do
the dishes.' So I say, 'You're talking to the former president, baby,' and she said, 'consider (this) your new domestic policy agenda,'"
Bush said to laughter. Who wrote that shit? ... it sure wasn't W

*****

11. And wrote it badly, I may add.
What a joke. What a jerk.

I still say, he should be in a cell at the Hague waiting for his war crimes trial to begin, not on a book tour.

7. I don't remember hearing he every met with any of the families
maybe a couple times months or years after their loved ones were killed but never do I remember him consoling any family members during their grief.

He is a lying sob piece of shit worthless bastard and nothing he says now will change that.

There is none lower than George W Bush, except his Poppy and their BFEE cronies who're on the same level.

13. He always was able to get weepy.
Him and Boehner - 2 drunks who can always seem to squeeze out the tears yet have no compassion or empathy for anybody. Same with Beck - what is it with these heartless assholes?
