Bush jokes about Death - Just ask Karla Fay Tucker
oh wait, you can't, she's dead. Maybe you could ask Tucker Carlson instead about why he mocked a fellow born again Christian before he allowed her to be executed.

http://slate.msn.com/id/1003362/

He is also, apparently, the kind of guy who thinks that a condemned woman begging for her life is knee-slappingly hilarious. Carlson recounts asking Bush about his handling of the Karla Faye Tucker episode last year. Tucker, you may recall, was the rehabilitated axe murderess whose faith-based request for clemency Bush chose not to grant despite pleas from Pat Robertson (which paradoxically made him more eager to execute her--the better to distance himself from the religious right). Here's Carlson's recounting of the way Bush mimicked Tucker's eleventh-hour appearance on Larry King Live: "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me."

He has no class. Narcissist. Little spoiled piece of shit rat bastard. I'm looking forward to him getting his karmic payback someday.

Every time I hear this story it makes me want to puke.
