1992: George H. W. Bush mocks Al Gore as "Ozone man! Ozone! He's crazy, way out, far out, man."

[Bluebear]

"This guy is so far out in the environmental extreme we'll be up to our necks in owls and outta work for every American." - George H. W. Bush, Detroit, 1992



You were wrong, weren't you, "Poppy"? Wrong about the environment, wrong about Gore, wrong about which Son would be King, wrong, wrong, wrong. You goddamn stupid dumb shit, you and your wife and your idiot spawn. I am only glad you are still alive to see just how hated your whole clan is in the world, what a fuck-up your oldest son is. And he won't even consult you, will he? Just his "heavenly Father", which we all know is bullshit too.

I say this all now because after you pass on, everybody will be clucking to not "piss on your grave", so I thought I would just send along my sentiments along the internets now, you evil piece of shit. Shove your Carlyle stock up your ass, you loser. Oh, an enjoy your Memorial Day, thousands upon thousand of our finest will not be coming home thanks to your SOB son.

1. Every one of his sons is a cheat and a thief.

That's a pretty amazing record.

[Benhurst]

10. You can add his ugly daughter and her corrupt husband to your list.

:argh:

[BattyDem]

2. As usual, Gore was proven right ...

about the environment, the Iraq war, the internet, aviation safety (remember the Gore Commission?), etc. History will remember him as one of the great visionaries; Bush will be remembered for "Read me lips ... ," vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister and fathering the man who brought fascism to the United States.

[Joe Fields]

6. Well said. (I like the part about the Japanese Prime Minister)

:hi:

[tblue37]

14. Don't forget that goofy formal picture with his pants hanging inches above his ankle. (eom)

[argyl]

18. He was also right about Erich Segal using him (and Tommy Lee Jones)

as models for his main character in Love Story.

That's pretty trivial compared to the list you've compiled that Al was either ridiculed for or accused of lying about in the 2000 election but the way he was trashed for his accomplishments and grasp of issues that everyone is now concerned about still makes my blood boil.

Gore in 2008.

[tularetom]

3. Does that old piece of shit have any teeth?

I've never seen a picture of him that showed any. Probably so inbred that they all rotted away and fell out years ago.

4. Delete - dupe

5. Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds, sayeth Al Einstein

When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

7. Babs says it all about the reality of the Bushs

Katrina refugees had it better when they were warehoused in a stadium says the Bush matriarch. These people are sick.

[BrotherBuzz]

16. I thought Babs' 'Good Morning America' quote was pretty revealing, too

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths, Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" - Barbara Bush on ABC's' Good Morning America', March 18, 2003

[young_at_heart]

8. I urge everyone to watch The Weather Channel video "100 Biggest Weather Moments"

#1 is about global warming and it's pretty impressive. I think even Poppy would have his eyes opened!

[frogcycle]

9. gee, bluebear

tell us how you really feel!


:)


nice rate. I second it.

[Gregorian]

11. We've come a long way since then. Most of us have.

I'm struck, in a very positive way, by how far we've advanced since then. He had a nearly infinite echo chamber in which to spew his bull. But we're armed now. With intelligence and experience. There is no more talk like that. Of course there is. But it's not as powerful. The global warming naysayers are short lived. They aren't going to last the long term.

He could not say what he said today. And everybody knows that Gore is a great man.

I'd say we've made progress, in a big way. We're still stuck in the mud. And we're broke now. But there is help on the way. That is how it feels to me, at least.

And George HW Bush will never hold an office again.

[JeffR]

12. Hell, yeah!

That's telling it.

[ellisonz]

13. Too bad he didn't drown when his plane crashed in the Pacific....

I'm serious.

:mad:

[StarryNite]

20. That sure would have saved us

a lot of grief.

[rasputin1952]

24. I wonder if those who bush I allowed to die that day would

have had better sons or daughters?

There has always been a question as to whether he abandoned his plane and left the others to their own devices. It is pretty ugly when one of your own flight accuses you of essentially murdering your fellow fliers. While it has never been proven that the others in that plane were alive when it went down, nothing old man bush has done, has shown me that he is a man of honor, therefore I lean slightly to the side that says he chickened out and sent at least one other to a watery grave...:(

[Warren DeMontague]

15. I smile when I remember that window of time, because it was at that exact moment that I *knew* he

was gonna lose. When the best he could do was call Clinton & Gore "Bozos".

(Clinton's beautiful response? "At least Bozo makes people laugh. Bush just makes people cry" :rofl:)

Bush-Quayle had jumped the shark, if you will.

[fooj]

19. Doesn't look like anyone is crying in this pic...

Isn't this called a dog and pony show? Just askin'...

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Feh. Given the choice, I'd take the 8 years of Bill Clinton over ANY other President in my lifetime.

Is that a "dog and pony show?" Eh, yyyyyeah. Because Bill Clinton is laughing with Poppy, that proves... what? Is the suggestion that the '92 election was a sham? Just for show? You think Poppy "threw" it--- on purpose???? Because while I buy my tinfoil in bulk from Costco, I don't have enough for a hat THAT big.

Are Clinton & GHWB "friends"? Probably. I'd suspect given his nightmare of a wife and his gaggle of mutant kids, Poppy -who may not be a great guy, but is no dummy- is relieved to have some intelligent conversation from time to time. As for why they're both smiling in that picture, yes, it may be that they're laughing about how they have collaborated to ensure Illuminati rule over this country into the foreseeable future; or Big Dog may have just told Poppy the joke about the Genie with the punch line that goes "Hey! I didn't wish for a 16 inch pianist!"

If there's no difference between the parties, at ALL, it's all a big scam... then what's the point? Why bother to be here at all? I may not want Bill Clinton's wife to get the '08 nomination, but -despite the areas where I haven't agreed with the guy over the years- I still have a tremendous amount of respect for the man.

I mean, really. Come on.

[fooj]

23. Probably? Haven't you heard?

He's Poppy's new "adopted son". Hell, Poppy touted that line for weeks.

BTW- I NEVER SAID there was NO DIFFERENCE between the two parties. You said that. I'm simply suggesting that things aren't always as they appear.

Well, we've got one thing in common...we are both waiting on Al to jump in, eh?

Perhaps I'm not the ONLY one with reservations...



Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. I don't think the fact that they speak to each other without shouting means that there is some

Clinton-Bush conspiricizin' going on.

Back in the olden days, members of the different parties were actually able to differ on substantive policy issues and still not personally loathe each other. Sometimes. I blame the Right Wing, AM Radio hate machine for much of the degeneration in our national discourse.

I don't think Poppy and Clinton's friendship proves anything other than what I said- Clinton's a friendly guy, and Poppy probably gets sick of Babs, Jeb, Marvin and the Rest of the Kennebunkport Hillbillies.

[fooj]

27. Hey...I understand where you are coming from.

All I'm saying is that Poppy LOST to Bill and we know what good losers the BFEE is, eh? I just find it interesting that we ALWAYS see THEM together, yet I don't remember seeing Bill hang out with Habitat for Humanity, Carter, Gore or the like. It just seems to me that like-minded people generally enjoy each others company. That's all I'm sayin'...

Oops...one more thing- Clinton covered for Poppy when he took office (none of Poppy's stuff was released) and Junior did the same for Clinton. That's a fact. No supposition on that one. Don't you find that a little strange? I do. Actually, I fault Clinton for it. If he had held the old man accountable maybe the same players (Iran/Contra) wouldn't be loose wreaking their havoc on everyone. It's definitely worth considering.

Peace.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. I hear you, too. I think Clinton's always been a little too willing to "play the game".

And certainly I'm willing to believe there's been some mutually reciprocated ass-covering, along the way.

But it's also worth noting that Bill Clinton has strongly criticized the current Bush administration, from time to time.

[fooj]

30. Ok. Fair enough.

:hi:

It's so nice to have a discussion without being torn apart. I appreciate that. Thanks! Have a great rest of the weekend!

[diane in sf]

17. Herbert Walker looks really alcoholic/drunk in this shot.

Could explain the bad sperm that created junior, and that's not even looking at Bab's contribution.

[Phrogman]

22. Poppys a prescription drug freak, see his interview with Larry King....

In the documentary "Spin".

[Swamp Rat]

25. The Bushlers will completely destroy this nation if they are not stopped soon.

They have done irreparable damage already.

[Rex]

29. It can be stopped.

Will it be stopped?

Nice pic of Ghoul Bush Sr.! :hi:

[Ino]

31. Great idea!

"I say this all now because after you pass on, everybody will be clucking to not "piss on your grave", so I thought I would just send along my sentiments along the internets now, you evil piece of shit."

My contribution:

Good riddance to you and your whole rotten demon seed family. I hope your end was painful and you died knowing how hated you are. May you all burn in hell for eternity.
