Bush: John Edwards is "pretty".

[Bluebear]

By insinuation, his comments today run "Dick Cheney is not the pretty one on the ticket. (pause for redneck laughter) But that's not whah ah picked him! I picked him 'cause he is a leader and GET THINGS DONE! (wild redneck applause)"

More subliminable 'Kerry/Edwards are gay girlie men' talk from our dignified President. And what's with him calling men pretty? Remember when he informed the male Canadian staffer that he is "prettier" than "my Scott" (McClennan)?

[noahmijo]

1. Well Cheney is pretty

pretty fugly, but I'm sure Bobo will think he looks cute in that orange prison jumpsuit.

[JohnKleeb]

2. Edwards is more than looks

Kerry picked Edwards because Edwards understands people and can speak to them. George is gonna be real upset when Kerry-Edwards beats him in his own backyard.

[Cha]

16. I've heard repug callers on c-span from the South say

they can relate to Edwards and they will be voting for the Kerry/Edwards ticket!

[Bluebear]

29. Kerry-Edwards leads the south by two points as of this writing

[JohnKleeb]

42. I can tell you as a southerner

thats certainly true.

[WinterStorm]

3. What happened to Bush's boyfriend in TN?

Bush is the one that brought up about how pretty another man is so why don't someone call him on that.

[JohnKleeb]

6. I thought those were two different incidents

The guy in Tennesse is Victor Ashe who was a Yale friend of Bush and one time mayor of Nashville and the guy who he called pretty was a Canadian guy named Scott.

[Bozita]

18. Yup, said that Canadian Scott was prettier than Scott McClellan

[bossfish]

8. What a funny press conference that would be.

Q: Scott, the president recently remarked that John Edwards is "pretty'? Now, is that just craven political pandering or is the president genuinely attracted to John Edwards?

[Bluebear]

10. "So he's NOT pretty?? FLIP-FLOPPER!"

nt

[goclark]

23. Would that be Victor Ashe?

My understanding is that he became an Ambassador to Poland.

Bush needs to hush up about calling people names. Peoople may start
looking into his sexuality.

[soothsayer]

4. I guess a male former cheerleader like * ought to know what a pretty man

looks like

[burythehatchet]

37. I got no beef with pom pom boys

but that's fuckin' funny

[John_Shadows_1]

5. "And by the way, John Edwards isn't the one...

.. who's had four heart attacks either. Dick Cheney was having heart attacks while John Edwards was just some punk kid. And you ever see John Edwards spout off free-market ideology while lobbying the government for huge contracts in foreign countries. Hell no you haven't - that's why we need Dick Cheney."

[truth2power]

39. I see you have quotes around that statement.

Did Bush say that? And if he did, whatever does that mean, "Dick Cheney was having heart attacks while John Edwards was just some punk kid." And this is a good thing???

Guess I'm just dense today. :dunce:

[Eric J in MN]

7. Cheney get things done like starting a war, billions for Halliburton.

Edwards gets things done like justice for a family whose daughter was killed by corporate negligence.

[JohnKleeb]

12. I thought the little girl lived but still requires treatment

not only that, he got help for a girl whos birth was botched, its all in four trials, if you think Edwards is just a pretty face, read Four Trials to understand the man John Edwards is, he's a man who believes in people and that helping people is a great thing.

[NightOwwl]

9. Good thing Edwards isn't blonde

We'd be subjected non-stop to "dumb blonde" jokes.

[stopbush]

11. Right up there with *'s "you have a face for radio" line.

Hey, shrub, you've got a face for proctology.

[bacchant]

13. Knowing Bush he probably said it like that hillbilly in Deliverance

"You sure do got a pretty mouth, why don't you drop my pants I'll make you squeal like a pig"

[liveoaktx]

14. Betty Bowers satire-don't miss her buttons, too

"Don't change horsemen in the middle of an apocalype"

[Bozita]

24. ROTFLMAO -- thanks for that link

[Cha]

15. cheney "not the pretty one on the ticket" ..what? bush thinks

it's him. I got news for him...bush is butt Ugly inside and out!

And another thing when he said he didn't read Kerry speech..too bad cause Kerry had a direct message to bush in there. Remember? Kerry said we take this campaign to a higher level and dispense with the negativety.

That's why bush won't say he read it..cause he wants to continue going full tilt negative.

I've had republicans come in the store and say that bush can't speak and Kerry can give a great speech.

[Manix]

17. ..typical homophobe remark!

[Bluebear]

40. Perzactly.

[UTUSN]

19. This Needs to Be Made a BIG ISSUE, Not Laughed-off

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2122680

[Bluebear]

21. I agree & he only says it in the "heartland"

Say it to his face you big chickenshit.

[skygazer]

20. They have nothing on the issues

So they criticize someone for being nice looking? Gosh, are politicians more effective when they're bald, ugly and have miserable attitudes? That makes about as much sense an anything Bush says.

[Sparkly]

22. He makes an awful lot of remarks about people's looks

whatever that may mean. From today:

Speaking about offensive tackle Ryan Tucker, Bush cracked: "He went to the same high school as my wife, but he's not as good-looking."

[Bluebear]

25. What it means is he is shallow beyond the definition of shallow

nt

[sugarcookie]

26. My husband

always votes Republican. This year he is on the fence but still leaning right. He loves Edwards (loved Clark too) and would vote Dem in a heartbeat if Edwards were at the top of the ticket. Like it or not charisma is a factor and Edwards has "it". Trying to dismiss "it" with "girlie man" talk won't work.

[emulatorloo]

27. John Edwards may be "pretty," but Cheney has POOR JUDGEMENT

and that's what the Dems better go after.

[EndElectoral]

28. I agree with GW about something..Cheney is butt ugly!!! Inside and out!

[MODemocrat]

31. Edward's Hiney would Make Bush or Cheney a Sunday Face

I've never seen such a jealous rage as the repugs are displaying. The funny part about it is, they are not only blah looking, but most of them don't have a full brain to work with.
Bush and Cheney are so :boring:

[LibDemAlways]

30. Edwards' good looks

bug the shit out of the chimp. He knows when Cheney faces Edwards in the debates people are going to think "Man, compared to Edwards Cheney is one nasty looking dude."

And as far as calling Edwards "pretty," I think it's a sign that the chimp is physically attracted to him.

[Jade Fox]

32. George used to be pretty. Check out this pic!

[devinsgram]

33. I believe * has that backwards.

Wasn't it Cheyney who picked *.

[carpetbagger]

34. rsammel: Bush wears makeup.

What a manly guy.

[AmerDem]

35. Most Repukes are "Closet Queens"!!!

That is my take on things. It's my opinion that any guy that guoes so far out of his way to constantly insinuate that another man is gay is in fact harboring much homosexual thougths himself!

Tweety, santorum, Shrub,Ahnold, Miller...this list goes on and on... all repukes!!!

[shawmut]

36. Bush is pretty

pretty vacant.



Maybe that should be their theme song.

[0007]

38. cheney is pretty fucking crooked - who cares what junior sez anyway?

[SoCalDem]

41. Kerry and Edwards have more children than ..Crashdummy & Crashcart

so their women were not exactly having headaches all the time ..

Lynne was too busy late at night writing steamy "girl" romance novels...Laura was too busy looking under things for hidden booze bottles..

It seems that the Kerry and Edwards wives enjoyed the company of their men :)

[Tight_rope]

43. Is Bush a "girl man"!

[jdj]

44. geedubya, come one. We know you didn't "pick" Cheney.

When he agreed to let you be the 'president one', you clapped your hands and skipped around the farm. Now shut up and take your thorazine.
