Trying to beat Bush to NYC. What a shameless huckster.
I don't have any use for Clinton and his grandstanding, but if he did get to NYC before Bush, that's nobody's fault but Bush's. President Bush didn't help his place in history by agreeing to his security detail's now-you-see-me-now-you-don't Florida-to-Louisiana-to-Nebraska itinerary on Tuesday. I know all about the "credible threats" to the WH and AF-1. I also know how Ronald Reagan reacted to getting shot (heroically), and I think I know what President Reagan (or Harry Truman) would have said to a secret service agent or a VP who told him he couldn't go to Wash D.C. or NYC--right before he handed him his head. I'm a Bush supporter, but I think he squandered a rare opportunity to lead and to win the hearts (and not just the conservative minds) of his countrymen.
Always has to one-up someone else, doesn't he? What a horrid excuse of a human being.
While x42 is there for photo ops alone, PRESIDENT BUSH will be there out of his heart.
ya know, this creep disgusts me as much as the next red-blooded freeper... and he no doubt is in NYC for the photo op... but if his being there now gives some form of comfort to some of the victims' family members, then isn't it better that they have at least that much comfort?
this draft-dodging, womanizing, lying, theiving, bentd*ck of a hick may have brought shame on this county, and his motives and morales (if he has any) may be all screwed up, but at least there are some folks out there getting hugs who need hugs.
folks, let's think of the victims and their loved ones first, and put our disgust & dislike for the former philander in chief on the side for now.
besides, W is a class act, the real deal, and i highly doubt he can be upstaged by a fake, phony has-been.
