Cherie [Blair] said Bush 'stole' power and tackled him on executions

LOL! I post/lurk so often on FR that I forgot I started out from a link on Drudge! OMG, what a world!

[McGavin999]

Well, we're taking a little break from bashing George and Tony so now we'll concentrate on bashing the wives. Perhaps that will work to turn the people against these two leaders.

Interesting to read this about Cherie Blair. I guess the body language is all wrong then when they greeted the President and First Lady in England recently. Kisses and hugs and smiles. Cherie seems very warm towards our President and First Lady.

The anecdotes are from early and summer of 2001 and I noticed what you did...it does not appear to reflect Cherie Blair's current attitude toward President Bush.

Didn't stop some hotheads from ranting and raving in a petty fashion and making infantile fools of themselves.

Can't get it to post, but there was a shot of Cherie waiting for the President's kiss in St. Petersburg on 3/31/03 that was posted on FR...might be worth re-posting.
IIRC, at that event she looked like a Bush groupie, but maybe that's just her normal look.

One crime was committed during Florida 2000.

The Stolen Votomatic.

My notes (made in 2000) follow.

Forgotten in the hectic closing days of the Florida fiasco is the matter of the stolen Votomatic.

It was found after the election by Palm Beach police in the car trunk of one Mr. Slosberg (sp?) a Democrat politician who was not a member of any canvassing board.

Treating it as a possible theft the police dropped the case when the Democratic leader of the Palm Beach Canvassing Board, Ms. LaPorte, decided not to press charges.

It was, obviously, entirely incorrect for this to be treated as only an attempted theft. This Votomatic could have been used to fabricate votes for Al Gore. It could have also been used to create 'overvotes' thus spoiling any ballots that voters made for Bush. (Gang-punching votes for Gore on voters' ballots would spoil those which were originally voted for Bush.)

It could have been used to fabricate votes in Palm Beach or in other nearby Florida counties such as Broward or Miami-Dade. It could have been used after the election or before the election.

Snotty British morons should learn more about that election before making fools of themselves.

Why do lefties always plead for the "human rights" of the criminals and never the victims?

She should try to console victims families instead.

[Taffini]

Cherie is nothing but an embarassment, to her husband and the rest of the country


I bet Tony will dump her when he gets out of office.
Didn't she have a baby a little while ago? She looks MIGHTY OLD to be having anything. I wonder if Tony makes her wear a Catherine Zita Jones mask?

[cyncooper]

He doesn't know some of us own BMWS and some trucks

Oh, I want to go off subject for a sec. I surfed around last night and landed on CSPAN where I saw John Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, for the first time. She was doing one of those campaign at a private home thingys, and she actually brought up President Bush going around wearing jeans and a big belt buckle and driving a nice shiny truck and she basically said these were all props and that they, the Edwards, drive a real pickup, the kind that gets rust in the back.

I sat there marveling, and thinking that never in my wildest dreams would I hear Laura Bush at a reachout putting down those dems in such a personal way. But there it was.

Just an interesting side note when I saw your truck reference.

"Does anyone know if she is even Christian"

Interesting. Actually, you cannot be pro-choice and be Christian at the same time. That means that poor ol' George Bush is married to a heathen ~ same as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton.

Hillary puked under my apartment door once, but I was never introduced to Laura or this Blair woman ~ no doubt they are similarly prepared. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for these guys ~ doesn't last long but it happens.

"A Downing Street spokesman said: “She has always had a good relationship with President Bush and has of course discussed many issues with him, including capital punishment. The discussions have always been good-natured.”

Word has it that the world-famous Pinocchio brews a pot of tea every afternoon and savors it in his flat in Charing Cross and has done so ever since Gepeto died of mad cow disease last year.

The Wooden Wonder in recent years was the star pupil of "Baghdad Bob" at the now-defunct Saddam Hussein Institute for Truth (otherwise known by its acronym, which, appropriately, is simply ....... 8~)

[veronica]

Cherie Blair is a female Hillary. :)

[cyncooper]

I would never even think of being a guest at someones home and start an argument! Very unclassy!

I've witnessed this behavior by liberals at parties more than once.

Miss Marple and I have noted here on FR that this is a quite common liberal quality. My latest example, of several I have encountered, is a family member attending the family Christmas dinner wearing a Dennis Kucinich t-shirt with HUGE lettering.

"That has intrigued me, the fact that the opposition sees most Freepers as cowboys."

Perhaps that view has something to do with the fact that FReepers generally shoot straight, walk tall, skillfully rope livestock, eat red meat, wear white hats, and are not at all afraid of fresh bull$#!t dropped in our paths on a daily basis......

[BushWonGore'sDone]

Your right! Blair has come around completely, even with such difficult surroundings with his wife and the left wing party in England. What ever the Bush administration showed him to cause him to change his opinion and to go to war must have been pretty powerful. And he still sticking to his guns.

[cyncooper]

Bush is basically a low grade puppet who in fact did force his way into the White House

You are a fool who doesn't understand that the person who gets the most votes in a state wins that state. Bush took Florida....over and over and over. Get over it.

I have a high tolerance, Admin Mod, for these types, but perhaps this one can be ushered on out.

[cyncooper]

Thank you.

I never forget the Dem with the voting machine in his car.

Curious, no? (Or should I say "Obvious, yes?")

[elli1]

That has intrigued me, the fact that the opposition sees most Freepers as cowboys. Interesting.

And instructive. I'm highly amused by the yahoos who think calling someone a ''cowboy'' is an insult. When they do that, it proves a couple of things: A)They're either stupid or ignorant of American culture, and B)They have exhausted their repertoire of debating skills & are acting like 7 year olds on the playground.

[chimera]

Cherie sure is dumb for a supposedly "brilliant" lawyer (just like Hillary! on that score). She doesn't understand that ours is not a system of direct democracy, but a Republic governed by laws made by the legally elected representatives of the people, with well-defined rules and procedures. Bush was legally elected by the Electoral College, as stipulated by the laws of the land. No "theft" was involved.

But she's a leftist and that means there is an inherent problem with being stupid and hypocritical. She never complained to Clinton about his support of the death penalty, or shoved documents in his face concerning it.

But the main thing Cherie should realize is, nobody elected her to anything. She's entitled to speak her mind on the issues, of course, but in the end those will count no more or less than anyone else's.

[LBriggs169]

Right on wally. My seditiments-EXACTLY!! These socio-commie-lefty-jackass's should just be given a country of their own and then see how they respond when they are attacked.

Sam Adams quote can ring true here:
"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
