Bagpipes playing Amaizing Grace

[Numbers Guy]

Only if you think Bush wears his religion on his sleeve for political purposes. I don't.

But given Ron Jr.'s past criticism of Bush, I'd hazard a guess that Ron Jr. thinks Bush does.

[hobson]

And then he added, very sarcastically, "and there's a very, very, big difference".

[sinkspur]

I swear I didn't hear what he said that was objectionable.

You weren't the only one.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What was the "potshot" at W? I missed it. I thought the imaginary horse called "Nancy D." was crass.

[theriotcat]

I have already lost it

[Dolphy]

So did I .. I wish he hadn't done that

Very disappointing.

[theophilusscribe]

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

[tirednvirginia]

We didn't just imagine that ugly remark. I wasn't even thinking about Bush until he he made that remark. It was obvious.

“Amazing Grace” - Solo Bagpiper, Eric Rigler

[PhiKapMom]

agree, I think it was a swipe at those who profess to be religious in life, but don't live their lives that way.

That's how I took it too!

[TomGuy]

Amazing Grace on bagpipes

[Kozak]

Jez, I'm not even Irish or Scotch but they make the hair stand up....

[IFly4Him]

I interpreted the remarks as a slap of GWB...

He specifically said "politicians", so I don't think it was aimed at Michael...

[don-o]

Hang on.

Someone will surely bash the piper.

[Jaded]

Either W or Michael.

I was surprised that Ron, Jr. was married....I thought he was gay.
