Let's get the - don't speak ill of Shrub now that he's gone - over with now

[Solly Mack]

Just get it out of the way now.

I'll start.

OMG! What will voters think of us?!?!?!?!?!

[dave_p]

1. He went through war!

"Don Rumsfeld has been at my side from the moment I took office. We've been through war together"

[Solly Mack]

2. and he suffered more than everyone

[donco6]

5. More than Jesus even. eom

[Solly Mack]

8. Yes! And he was just so misunderstood

[donco6]

31. The root of persecution.

So he said some . . . things. People just miscontrued their meaning. Right?

[Solly Mack]

35. Tragic - but yes.Poor man...just because he saw death as progress

people thought him heartless and clueless

Can you imagine?

[donco6]

37. And think of all the GOOD that came of it.

Like . . .

well . . .

uh . . .

people in the US now value high mileage cars! See?!

[Solly Mack]

38. You are too kind!!!!

Really...way too kind.

Sniffle. Sniffle. Dabs eyes.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

67. Heck, he suffered more than MEL GIBSON!

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

75. but without the rehab

Shrub found Jesus without looking in the rehab for him...he found him among the empty beer bottles one morning

[leftchick]

51. nope, he and Pickles suffered more than everyone!

as picks said..... "no one has suffered more than the pResident and I over the deaths in Iraq".

:puke:

[Solly Mack]

73. gnashes teeth..I forgot Pickles and her suffering!

But I didn't forget Poland!

[jaxx]

17. Hell he started the war he went through.

[Solly Mack]

18. See? Another example of just how enterprising he was

What a wonderful tribute!


another business that failed... ;)

[Ghost in the Machine]

3. George W Bush is the GREATEST.........

piece of shit that ever walked semi-upright in the world!

[Solly Mack]

4. Such a beautiful thought!

All over the world, piles of shit are glistening with tears

[Ghost in the Machine]

9. I choked back tears just *typing* it!

:rofl:



Turd Blossoms for the big turd. Made from 100% pure horse shit, just like our pResident!

[Solly Mack]

10. I know how painful that was for you.

:hug:

Love it!

[malaise]

92. You owe me a keyboard

:D

[Solly Mack]

96. Let's not talk of what others owe us but, instead, of what we owe Shrub

He said it best - "I'm the master of low expectations."

[malaise]

97. LOL n/t

[Duncan Grant]

6. God, I love you Solly Mack.

I'd switch teams for you. :loveya:

[Solly Mack]

7. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

:blush:

[dweller]

11. Party at my house

:party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :puke: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast: :party: :beer: :toast:

[Solly Mack]

13. I'm sure you mean the wake will be at your house

:)

[Hekate]

34. The wake will feature drinking, singing, laughter & the occasional fistfight

Ahhhh. My ancestors knew how to do it right.

We'll do right by Baby Caligula! :toast: And after the drinking, the pissing on his grave! :toast:

I hope that was respectful. It's hard work bein' respectful. :rofl:

Hekate

[Solly Mack]

63. George never missed a chance to take on piss on people

He would appreciate the gesture, I'm sure.

[lolly]

77. Now, now.

Stop that! I'm so ashamed! Sean Hannity won't like us now, thanks to you!

[Hekate]

78. What? what? Wakes are religious, aren't they?

:rofl:

Hekate

[blondeatlast]

12. He could PLAY cowboy with the best of 'em. Bless ya, L'il Boots... nt

[Solly Mack]

14. and remember how he used to clear brush?

Shrub clearing brush - how cute is that!!

[blondeatlast]

15. So cute seein' him doin' that hard work!

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

16. Yes, yes...it's hard to be strong...but we must

(someone slap me)

[blondeatlast]

19. He was there for Laura in her blackest hour...

On the Today Show: "No one suffers more than their President and I do."

To be honest, I can't say for certain he was there for her, but hey, in our time of trial, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. We wouldn't want others to think of us as callous and unfeeling (and clueless) now would we?

[Solly Mack]

20. He was a loving husband! How touching!

I may weep...

[Duncan Grant]

21. Kick: A great thread like this deserves more attention (and humor).

:kick:

[Solly Mack]

22. and more respect...don't forget the respect

LMAO

[Duncan Grant]

24. ROTFLMAO!

I'm in tears here. This thread is the antidote to all that cloying crap with 60+ recommendations. :rofl:

It's been a busy day for trolling.

[Solly Mack]

26. Shrub would greatly love your tears

You know how he was always bringing people to tears... Yeah, sure, it was on a water-board but still...

[BuyingThyme]

23. I'm glad he spent his final hours in prison.

But I will never support the death penalty.

[Solly Mack]

25. A lot of people were...where he spread his own special democracy

to his fellow inmates...

He never missed a chance to spread democracy

[Solly Mack]

27. Don't be shy! Get that respect out of your system now

[libnnc]

28. He was generous with his bong.

And his widow was usually holding.

[Solly Mack]

29. Such a warm and fuzzy remembrance ...I'm verklempt

Truly. I may have to go rest my nerves.

Someone pass the ambien...ask Powell

[WillyT]

30. The Poor Man Is Probably Having Trouble Forming Sentences To Saint Peter Right Now...

and after that... the Devil.

:evilgrin:

[Solly Mack]

32. What a delightful memory of him. His little verbal glitches

Weren't they just so adorable?!?

Remember when he said "we don't torture" when he really meant "we do torture"

[ebayfool]

33. Why would I speak ill of he who led me to invest in pretzels?

I wudda never thunk of it without him!

Coooooome ooooooon, pretzels ....!

[Solly Mack]

36. Yet another example of how Shrub helped people!

How he enriched their lives and their purses.

I'm all choked up

[donco6]

39. The Pope should make him a saint. Right NOW!

He would be venerated by the Knights Who Say Ni!

Shrubbery!

[Solly Mack]

40. and we MUST re-name the White House after him!

We can call it the White Wash House

In tribute to his transparency in government

[donco6]

41. OK, you just went over the line.

{head exploding}

[Solly Mack]

42. I knew you'd be touched!

Yes, yes...go rest. You're overcome with emotion. I understand.

[donco6]

44. Getting my 4th martini.

Hey, so it's a time to celebrate! SUE ME!

[Solly Mack]

47. A WASP wake without martinis is like a wake without sunshine

:P

[donco6]

50. i cnt ty[e anymore.

nightynight.

[Solly Mack]

57. Be well!!! Sweet dreams. :)

[StarryNite]

43. He had a way with hand gestures too.

Gee, I'm gonna miss that.

[donco6]

45. He could always be counted on for a laugh. eom

[Solly Mack]

48. and man did we laugh

and hard

[donco6]

52. Remember his first debate?

Oh the laughs I had!

And then . . . well the terrible darkness fell over the land. But was it Shrub's fault? Was it really?

(actually it was those goddam voting machines, but I digress)

[Solly Mack]

56. Poor Shrub. ...but he took that mandate and ran with it!

What a runner he was!....Just as the TANG.

[Solly Mack]

46. Yes he did! It never failed to move me - his "you're number 1" gesture

He just thought the best of people and wanted the best for them.

[FloridaJudy]

49. He helped so many struggling comedians

By providing material for their topical stand-up routines.

A lot of them will have to join the unemployment lines now.:nopity:

[donco6]

53. They can talk to Dennis Miller.

I'm sure he has a way to help them out. He has a monkey!

[Solly Mack]

55. Just another example of how he boosted the economy

Thank you for sharing that memory with us.

I see you're musical. Can you play "Let the Eagles Soar"?

Ashcroft would but he's busy covering up the statues

[Malikshah]

54. In homage to FloridaJudy's post..he helped push KOs career

in the stratosphere; he provided so much fodder, that our current Press Secretary was prepared to handle the slings and arrows of the revitalized press corps.

I must say, though, Bill O'Reilly's on-air melt down replete with his singing to his loofah while soiling himself was a bit sad.

[Solly Mack]

59. He spread the joy. That's how he was...always spreading something

usually shit..but I digress and this is a thread of respect

[smokey nj]

60. He looked good in a flightsuit and he could clear brush better than anyone.

[Solly Mack]

62. He was such a stud! Yes, he could make the women swoon

from fright

[ecstatic]

58. If he died tonight then he'd be escaping justice

That's not good enough, IMO. I don't believe in a (fiery) hell.

[Solly Mack]

61. How could you!!!! To speak ill that way

What will Sean Hannity say?

runs crying to my high hobby horse and rocks

[StarryNite]

64. I for one, will miss those calendars

with his quotes. Mornings will never be the same without the laugh of the day from the mouth of that horse's ass.

[Solly Mack]

65. Yes! If it wasn't for those Bushisms - those endearing little word hiccups

we would never know the date.


Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

So uplifting

[Hell Hath No Fury]

66. You are way ahead of me!

I was just thinking this afternoon, 'Man, what is everyone going to say when Bush/Cheney finally croak and I break out the Martinelli's sparking apple cider???' :rofl: :rofl:

In the spirit of your post:

You'd better watch what you say about Bush -- the freepers might come here and quote you to prove how nasty lie-berals are! Besides, we're better than that! Bush may have been war criminal who was responsible for the murder, torture, kidnapping, and rape of tens of thousands of Iraqis and the deaths of thousands of American soldiers, but that doesn't mean we should be haters on the day he died! Think of his family and friends who are mourning! :cry:

[Solly Mack]

68. Just heaping a few ashes is all...call it pre-emptive mourning

Shrub always did like the pre-emptive. He felt it the best way to put food on the children.

We're gonna read from his 2nd favorite book later on..."The Little Engine that Could"

He loved making the choo-choo sounds.

sigh

[tyedyeto]

69. Thread after thread after thread will tell us: why are we speaking ill of the dead?

Why? Because they have told us time and time again that if we don't believe the exact way they do, we will go to hell and back again.

I have my belief system and they have theirs. They may meet at some point but they are still different. Why is mine going to condem me to an afterlife that is so hate filled (according thier belief)? Why do they think theirs will allow them to become angelic? The outcome in the afterlife may be much different than what these 'Crusading Christians' believe it will be.

[Solly Mack]

70. Well, Shrub was the uniter

He was also the decider and the commander guy

He liked role play so much he called himself the elected leader of the free world

[tyedyeto]

71. He's also a Christian Commando

We are in a load of hurt and a bucket of shit now!!!

[Solly Mack]

72. A patron of the arts!

Shrub was just so well rounded

[tyedyeto]

74. ...

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

76. Laughter and joy in our remembrance

It's just so healing

[NuttyFluffers]

79. He left me my fondest presidential memory...

of him leaving the White House for the last time in '09. it's a moment i cherish; i even TiVo-ed it.

[Solly Mack]

82. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it.

It was his way of doing the little things for people - And he did very little for people

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

80. Well, let's see.,um

I liked the "Do not call" listing. We'll put that on the plus side. Ah, gee, it looks so lonely.

[Solly Mack]

83. No accomplishment too small!!! Mission accomplished is the main thing.

If I only had a banner....

[Bluebear]

81. Stop! You're making DU look bad!

:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

84. Would that be the formal German Du?

My goodness!!! But people from all over the world want to share their memories and pay their respects.

Shrub would give you a shoulder massage if he could...and he'd insist on it too. It was his way of making people feel comfortable.

[Cults4Bush]

85. Id also like to mourn Usama and Mullah Omar

they may have been bad but I am the better person for not rejoicing at their demise... (even though Im really really happy about inside!!! but Ill keep it locked away for appearances and scold all those who wouldn't).

Honestly I think many of those who protest so much at the joy and relief expressed at such a passing... will be there doing the same thing no matter who it is. Which really makes me think they have their own emotional issues.

Sounds like they'll forgive the man before they forgive his victims.

[Solly Mack]

88. Shrub was so happy when he caught OBL...oh wait, I misspoke

It was the bad intel I got.

Moving on...

[blondeatlast]

86. He gave hupe to the mediocre that they, too, could one day grow

up to fuck up the world (as long as they were the son of a powerful First Lady...).

[Solly Mack]

89. Yes! I'm just overwrought with emotion from your tribute

My beautiful mind will never be the same

[Beelzebud]

87. He has daughters for crying out loud! He lived through 9/11!!!!

WHAT WILL THE CHILDREN THINK?????

[Solly Mack]

90. We must never leave the children behind. You're so right

Thank you for reminding us of what is important.

[Maven]

91. He did his version of right with the world!

Have some respect and stop dancing on his grave!!!

[Solly Mack]

94. Yes! Shrub was a versionary..er, I mean visionary!

He held the world hostage with his version of truth, justice and the American way!

[lolly]

113. Hmm, maybe you're right . . .

Have some respect and stop dancing on his grave!!!

This Irish jig I'm doing there is quite inappropriate.

Anybody remember how to do "The Hustle?"

[Solly Mack]

114. Shrub could hustle!

[EFerrari]

93. We have to consider the family. Think of his poor mother!

[Solly Mack]

95. So true! And like Shrub said - on another fine day of shared grief

"I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me - and I know what it's like."

[Solly Mack]

98. Ceremony continues with a selection from Shrub's iPod

Shrub's iPod

Let's just add a tune for him - he won't mind.

"Bush and Cheney Horrorland"

People die, for no reason.
People starve, 'tis the season.
A terrible blight,
Each night after night,
In the Bush and Cheney Horrorland

[Maven]

99. Don't forget Eric Clapton!

"Cocaine."

Dun-uh-dun-unhhh --- DOWW DOWW...

When you wanna hang out, you gotta...take her out: Cocaine...

[Solly Mack]

100. Yes, in his youth (his 30's) Shrub was known to be the life of the party

He was always high on life...and other things.

[Occulus]

101. This whole thread made me cry

Such an outpouring of respect and compassion for our Dear-departed Leader of times gone by...

'Scuse me... I need a moment......

*breathes*

There.

[Solly Mack]

104. I know just how you feel! True patriots all around.

I simply must quote Shrub now. I think you'll find it very fitting


"These are historic times. This is a historic moment in history, as far as I'm concerned. "

Someone pass me a hanky

[sniffa]

102. when that day finaLLy comes

he'LL be the fresh, new-reagan.

repubLicans in 20?? wiLL taLk about how they want to get back dubyaism, and how they're dubya repubLicans.
it wiLL be midnight in america again.

[Solly Mack]

105. We must always look to the future, yes

Shrub would have wanted it that way.


"I tell people, let's don't fear the future, let's shape it." --George W. Bush, Omaha, Neb., June 7, 2006

[JuniperLea]

103. I pulled these together for all the concern trolls...

"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
Mark Twain

"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork."
Mae West

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
Oscar Wilde

"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure."
Clarence Darrow

[Solly Mack]

106. Shrub would have been so touched!!!!

He was well read you know.

"The girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her goat in her house."

[JuniperLea]

107. He's well red too...

I'm sure he's drinking again... :)

[Solly Mack]

108. You must be recalling how he liked to play Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

and run through the brush a Crawford shouting, "I can fly! I can fly!"

[JuniperLea]

109. Quite literally laughing out loud here!

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

112. He taught us to laugh when we had nothing else

and he made sure we had nothing else...

[blondeatlast]

110. And doesn't dear Laura look lovely in black?

How very dignifiedly radical chic to wear a dress she's had since 1963...

[Solly Mack]

111. It was Shrub's favorite and he did so like it on her.

Bless her heart.
