As soon as Bush heard how those swine were slamming him, that's what he SHOULD have started talking about!
"I saw nothing uncivil about the remarks made by Lowery and Carter."
maybe cause they weren't talking with their hands, the words actually came out of their mouths, and this confuses those who may be less educated.
Try putting politics aside for a few minutes and think about this as if it 50 years ago. Everyone I knew at that time would have had a fit if a person would have said anything like that at a funeral, no matter their political party. I know all can't do that but some of us old ones can.
Maybe if Bush had gotten up and talked about Kings affairs, Jimmy Carters failures, Jesse Jacksons "love" child...she would be singing a different tune..
i love the prez, but i think you are onto something!!
