Why didn't * and Pickles give blood? Everyone else did.
After 911 Clinton gave blood. Gore drove down from Canada, gave blood and went to NY city. But,
In white house photo ops of Pickles asking for blood donations, neither her nor W gave any.
Could they have some STD, or other blood related illness that they could NOT donate without it coming out? Maybe drug related.
Any other thoughts?

1. Who would want Bush blood
flowing through their veins? That is just too creepy to think about. :puke:

3. Because they were taking Cipro?
Don't know if you can give blood while on antibiotics or not. Medical people?

9. I thought that Pickles declined to take the drug.
Or was it a vaccination of some sort that she declined? Anyway, that whole business of Cipro being administered at the White House, before the first anthrax attack ever occurred, received almost no airtime at all from the major media slimeballs.

4. they're both drug users would be my guess
I'm not aware that giving blood would be a good option for them. It would have just been disposed of anyway.

There are times when * is really slurring away, but the stumbling and mumbling is pretty easy to see even when he's having a "good" day.

18. Yes, both big prescription pill-poppers
And yes, that MUST not be revealed through an innocent blood test.

5. Could be as simple as recent travels
I was deferred for a year after visiting Costa Rica. I didn't engage in any "risky behaviors" there -- there was a concern about mosquito-borne illness.

If * had visited anywhere on a long list of countries within the previous year, he wouldn't be allowed to donate.

17. Beautiful!
It was hard enough for me to do it within earshot of my students. (I used to teach, and I gave blood at the school drive.) ESPECIALLY since I ended up getting deferred, and the kids asked questions.

11. Giving blood is for suckers and poor people.
The Bush's don't "give" anything, everybody's gotta pay.

21. Well..
Bush never said that he never tried coke right? He just said he did things in his past he regretted.

Makes you wonder.
