'Papa' Bush jabs at Kerry, hails his sons' performances

[kskiska]

PALM BEACH GARDENS — As the plane carrying former President George H.W. Bush and his son Gov. Jeb Bush prepared to land in Palm Beach County on Friday, the elder Bush said he looked out the window and told his son he saw Sen. John Kerry's plane.

"How do you know it's his?" the governor asked.

"It's got two left wings on it," said his dad.

The 41st president, looking healthy and relaxed in a gray suit and rose-colored tie, told the joke during a GOP rally Friday afternoon at the PGA National Resort.

"Papa" Bush, as some referred to the former president, took several good-natured swipes at Kerry during a 20-minute talk in which he praised the governor for his resolve through four hurricanes, events he likened to the trials of Job, and extolled President George W. Bush for "serving honorably during the most trying times since World War II."

Calling the Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign "sleazy and ugly," Bush lauded the president's record on everything from the capture of Saddam Hussein to the economy and health care.

1. What record on the economy and health care?

:eyes: :puke:

[acmavm]

15. No shit, that was my first thought. Actually I suppose the dried up old

thug bastard is proud of the way his boy has screwed up things. He would have done the same if he would have had a second term. He's just living out his sick fantasies in his criminal son.

[ahem]

37. His record on the economy and health care is exactly why...

some of those that would otherwise vote for him won't. Yeah, let that record speak for itself!

[leetrisck]

2. "Sleazy & Ugly" describes any campaign

the bushes are involved in. One can always count on that. The whole family is rich white trash.

[Spinzonner]

3. Well, you do have to concede

He's one of the experts on sleezy and ugly campaigning - from the inside.

[Turbineguy]

4. Well, one thing Junior did....

he made Poppy look like a great president!

[Carolina]

24. no, he made Poppy look

not so bad. No way, under any circumstances are ANY bushes going to look great.

[54anickel]

5. The trials of Job? WTF? Give me a break! n/t

[frylock]

6. it's got two left wings on it..

I just flew in from Ft. Lauderdale, and boy are my arms tired. Get some new material, you withered, hateful piece of shit. :eyes:

[smirkymonkey]

28. Wit and cleverness have NEVER been Bush family traits.

Face it, you shriveled old piece of crap, your idiot son is a LOSER just like you. :mad:

[SCLibra]

39. NOT

Jr thinks that he is witty.

[MisterP]

44. Poppy: "I just flew in from St. Pete..."

aud: "And boy, are you stupid."
Fie on you, C.G.B. Spender

[saigon68]

7. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON--- One Term-- He's done!!!

Pappy and Jebby were going to repuke rally to read "My Pet Goat" to the assembled Masses.

[PartyPooper]

8. After the election...NO MORE Poppy and Babs threads!

I can hardly wait!

:bounce:

[LTR]

9. Did Poppy call Kerry and Edwards 'those two bozos'?

I remember when he directed that line at Clinton and Gore in '92. When I heard him say that, I knew then and there that his campaign was more or less over.

Bring it on, Poppy!

[melody]

10. Gee, what a surprise

Clone I of his two little war clones against Democrats gets his approval...there's a shock.

[Kellis]

12. The Bush Thugs

sound mad-thats a good sign.

[saigon68]

51. The Bush Criminals still have their saudi allies

To do another 9-11

[NEOBuckeye]

11. George H. W. Bush, worthless washed-up asshole

[HR_Pufnstuf]

13. fck 41

...anyone who tries to plaster his name to everything possible before he dies, must be insecure about his place in history...

[antonialee839]

14. Sleazy and Ugly is considered a

"good-natured swipe"?

[Mad_Dem_X]

52. Pot, meet kettle...

BushCo are the kings of sleaze!

[hlthe2b]

16. After promoting his win via the Willy Horton racist stunt, GHWB has NO

credibility to call anything/anyone "sleazy and ugly."

[Ilsa]

17. Gawd, it'll be good to never have to look at the Bushes'

ugly-ass faces again. Poppy and Bar are hags. Fuck them. (And I don't use that language very often.)

[Chelsea Patriot]

18. Hey, Pig-Fucker Papa Go Hump Your Sleazy+Ugly Old Sow!

There's no sperm in your tiny dried-up balls, so there's no fear of you freaks inflicting anymore of your misbegotten offspring on the world!

[w4rma]

19. "sleazy and ugly," = "good-natured swipe"? No. It doesn't. (nt)

[Maeve]

20. It is NOT "papa" it is "POPPY"

Damn, can't even get that right!

[Bullshot]

21. By Bush family standards, the shrub is doing well, according to poppy.

[MADem]

22. That clown bailed out and left his crew to die

He's a cretin. Remember how he boasted about "kicking a little ass" in the Ferraro debate? I submit that had he kicked a little ass as a parent, maybe he would not have raised a crew of bloated, drunken privileged wastrels who have done nothing but defile our government, our environment and our liberties. A pox on him!

[TexasChick]

23. Look, Chimp'pa, this is a second time we have heard filth spewed from

your mouth about people! Aren't we supposed to have better behavior from a chump like you since you are a former president? Oh, wait, that's right, your evil family has no etiquette what so ever! I mean, how can you, you're all so busy stumping for oil and never read books, etc.! What don't you STFU!!! I'm tired of looking at your shrively old carcass!

[DuaneBidoux]

25. I may get flamed for this but I lived in Europe during Seniors

Administration. He was respected, liked, and in general was thought to be an expert in international relations. Now I didn't really know all the BS he was doing domestically at the time. BUT, don't forget he did manage to get a TRUE coalition to truly liberate a country (Kuwait) and we paid for approx. 10% of that war and suffered 1/10 the causalities. The fact that he built that coalition showed something about his foreign affairs capability. The guy has to be going through a major case of Alzheimer's or something or simply be senile not to understand that the international laws he fought hard to uphold (Senior WAS a believer in international law) is being torn to shreds by his son.

[The_Casual_Observer]

26. Well, since he created the Kuwait thing in the first place

he needed to fix it. herbert walker is an asshole who should fry in hell.

[DuaneBidoux]

31. No disagreement there...still I could hold my head up anywhere in the

world while he was President. At least he didn't have a knack for creating more enemies than he could rid of. And I still bet he's got twice the IQ (although the same morals) of his son. I've always asked myself would I rather have an immoral idiot or an immoral genius. I think the comparison of the two administrations gives me my answer.

[nolabels]

55. I vote(d) for neither

I say them dudes are both worthless


http://amaiman.livejournal.com/
(Imagine that, found that picture on a little right wingers blog :shrug:)

My favorite dig on poppy was his checking the watch in the debate and wondering what the bar code thingy was all about. They both were stupid when it came to even just common sense if you ask me.

Did either one ever really hold down a real job out of the government that they didn't fail at. Give me a break with all their rhetoric about free enterprise. Both them bastards would be starving if there were no government for them to milk off with their corporate buddies.

One really has to remember that poppy came before so many people were clued in about how they installed these kind of folks

[demigoddess]

42. well, he did have to lie to accomplish that.

remember the 'iraqis taking babies out of incubator' lies that they put before congress in order to get that support

[JoFerret]

49. Liberate Kuwait....lol

Kuwaitis are free? Since when?
However - you are right that Poppy Chump - the father of Shrubby Chimp - did have internationalist instincts and was capable of forming alliances to do the work of the BFEE. Unlike the son who is an incompetent and miserable failure in every endeavor save for becoming a cult figure.(No small achievement if one were to be fair).

[Malva Zebrina]

27. the son who hates the father

because he was the one who he was continually being frustrated by never being able to wreak revenge upon because he was so dependant upon him all of his life, has succeeded in destroying the entire Bush "dynasty" taking them all down with him. Look at what has been recorded. All of the outrages of this family have been brought to the forefront--the mother has shown her true evil colors (her beautiful mind should not be concerned with the flag draped caskets her beautiful son ignores)his wife has been shackled with the insipid,
Stepford and the lump frump meme and his two spawn have shown they are as dumb and as silly as a box of doorknobs, dressed up in fashion's highest. The history books will record the stupid son as the worst president ever to occupy the White House, by the Supreme court his daddy and his friends appointed. George has succeeded in making it the end for all the Bush family. He sullied the name and that is justice.

I doubt, seriously that his daddy has any influence at all anymore with the CIA and if he does, it will soon be gone.

Of course, all of them will hold on to their wealth via the Carlyle Group and other investments having to do with war profiteering. That is not just.
It is sad that he has caused the deaths of so many. He is indeed, a war criminal and murderer.

[kskiska]

33. You're right on, Marianne

Poppy's duration with the CIA didn't even cover a year. Neither did most of his other appointments, either. He was known as an ambitious social butterfly, liking the parties rather than the work, at which he was mediocre, according to Kitty Kelley's book.

* hates his father so much for castigating him as a drunken slacker all those years. He hates Jeb because he was Mom's "Chosen One." Now it's payback time. Jeb will be finished, and once Poppy and Bar are gone, the whole dynasty will turn to dust.

[Catt03]

41. Probably does hate his Father

because he didn't protect him from Barbara's temper.

the Reagans didn't like them much either.

[marew]

62. ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[vetwife]

29. H A HA ..Give me two left wings over chickenwings anyday !

[drscm]

30. The "trials of Job" - an apt description for what we experienced

at the hands of the *BABY bush.

[Kenergy]

32. Like father,like son...both liars n/t

[DaCheat]

34. Didnt We Get Rid of Him Already

Didnt we get rid of him a long time ago? What is he doing back?

[SaintLouisBlues]

35. I thought Poppy had croaked for a second

yesterday morning when I flipped on NPR and Cokie was jabbering about him. Instead it was just some feature, which I then turned off, cursing about NPR airing Poppy fluff on the Friday before the election. Then I gave thanks that he was still alive and not an October Surprise.

[HR_Pufnstuf]

36. classic quote.

"I believe we must stop the onrush of big government" - George Bush, 1964

[ScrewyRabbit]

38. One term for the boy, just like you, daddy

Too bad GWB got the wrong genes from Barbara, had he been smarter he might've pulled off a second term.

[cliss]

40. Trials of Job? How about Jeb.

I can't understand how this haggard old carcass can even face the public, even if it is nothing but Rat-publicans. His face has huge red spots on it. I'm not sure what caused it.

Does anyone know? Poopy looks really strange these days. I'm sure it's been a stressful 4 years, watching his idiot son flush this country down the toilet. A man's got to protect his interests, after all.

[goforit]

43. Yah Poppy, like making jokes about opponents plane, eh? Do you....

like to shoot them down too Poppy????

I do think you do.

Your great hobby, eh?

[Redleg]

45. FUCK YOU, you old fucking one-term loser.

Both you and your idiot son can shut the fuck up after Nov. 2.

[JoFerret]

46. Bush genes at play.

And here is the Give Bush a Brain game

[depakid]

47. Poppy's just got to be ashamed

even he's not that coarse. He can see what's happened.

[Drifter]

48. Yep ... and I'm sure ...

Ted Bundy's dad was proud of him too.

No one wants to believe that their own son is the evil incarnate.

Cheers

[DirtyBirdOne]

50. 'Papa' Bush Is A One-Term Loser

I equate Papa Bush to a Heretic or 'Chucky'.

I guess that makes W the 'Seed of Chucky'.

[votedemocratic]

53. "Sleazy and Ugly" should be the new names for Jeb and Dubya.

n/t

[devinsgram]

54. He should talk

He was the reason I am now democrat, talk about sleazy campaigns, I remember the Willie Horton thing and how they used scare tactics, it was disgraceful. He had nothing to run on, absolutely nothing. Like father, like son. Old man go back in your box where you belong.

[GaryL]

56. The more they loose the more they whine.

Like the freepers trolling around here as of late, we see more of chimp's cadre crawling out from under the rocks they live to puke forth their disgusting bile. Their ship is sinking and they can't stop it so this is the crap they pull.

57. James Baker's Double Life

A Special Investigation
by NAOMI KLEIN
October 12, 2004
...
Until now, there has been no concrete evidence that Baker's loyalties are split,
or that his power as Special Presidential Envoy--an unpaid position--has been
used to benefit any of his corporate clients or employers. But according to
documents obtained by The Nation, that is precisely what has happened.
Carlyle has sought to secure an extraordinary $1 billion investment from the
Kuwaiti government, with Baker's influence as debt envoy being used as a
crucial lever.

....
But critics expressed grave concern about whether
Baker was an appropriate choice for such a crucial job. For instance, one of
Iraq's largest creditors is the government of Saudi Arabia. The Carlyle Group
does extensive business with the Saudi royal family, as does Baker's law firm,
Baker Botts (which is currently defending them in a $1 trillion lawsuit filed by the
families of September 11 victims). The New York Times determined that the
potential conflicts of interest were so great that on December 12 it published an
editorial calling on Baker to resign his posts at the Carlyle Group and Baker
Botts to preserve the integrity of the envoy position.
