The Bushes should be PROUD of themselves for hijacking fucking VETERANS DAY.

[Miles Archer]

I don't know about you, but I heard more about the BUSH FAMILY today than I heard about VETERANS.

I usually leave MSNBC on in the background strictly for background noise and had to turn it off today. Couldn't take it. I watch "The Voice" so I had the local NBC station on in advance of that. The "Jenna Interview" was shown THERE so I turned the TV off until it was over.

Pretty smart of them, picking a high-profile day like Veterans Day to sell their revisionist swill.

1. They're trying to rehab his image before 2016

The name bush is crap right now.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Unfortunately, too many people have short memories...

and all of the hatred directed at Pres Obama will make them remember Baby Bush fondly.

8. I fear you're right

[NightWatcher]

10. They're rehabbing the bush name so Jeb can make a run at it.

2. THE master manipulators.

4. Good lord, I didn't put that together until your post.

Dubya is responsible for the wasted lives of thousands of soldiers and Poppy schedules his book release date for Veterans Day. Disgusting.

5. Um George HW Bush

is a combat veteran of World War II. That might be why they launched on Veterans Day.

6. Eh, Daddy WarBush is used to leaving his fellow servicemen in the dust.

12. He does not get to take ownership of the day, and neither does the Bush family.

It is VETERANS DAY...PLURAL. Not "VETERAN DAY."

"Um" indeed. I know who he is and what he is. It's fucking VETERANS DAY, not designed for ONE man or woman to step up and be honored. If he had ANY respect for the world outside of his clan he would have known that and acted accordingly.

13. What did he do? I was gone all day. Did he buy airtime or something? n/t

14. MSNBC put Jenna's "exclusive interview" with Junior and Poppy into heavy rotation

Shown over and over and over again today. And it showed up elsewhere. It is NOT a segment honoring Poppy Bush for Military service. It is an INFOMERCIAL to pimp Junior's ghost written book on Poppy Bush, to re-write the history of the Bush family, PERHAPS to pave the way for a Jeb run in 2016, and as I have said elsewhere, REGARDLESS of Bush's status as a Veteran, for him to step into the spotlight and suck all of the oxygen out of the room was incredibly distasteful and insensitive...even for a Bush.

7. Thank you for this OP. It's pissed me off to no end to have to deal

with his smug-ass smirk, juxtaposed with all of the footage of the wounded and permanently disabled veterans that have had their lives unimaginably altered by the vile actions of him and his gang.

It will actually get worse tomorrow - NPR played a preview of "part 2" of their Morning Edition interview this afternoon. He actually tried to suggest that things were going really well in Iraq until Obama took office.

11. As a veteran.

I am more upset that they took away from National Metal Day.
