Today's Bushism: "There is only one person who hugs the mothers

[Amy6627]

and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like." GWB, Washington, D.C; December 11, 2002

Well I'm glad he cleared that up!

[FreedomAngel82]

1. So no hug for Cindy??

[Solly Mack]

2. Odd. I've attended several services and I've never once seen Bush

there to hug anyone.

[katsy]

3. There's millions of people hugging Cindy right now...

is this blithering idiot saying we have to elect ONE representative to kiss her?

WTF?@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#

[rodeodance]

5. The LAST thing I would tolerate is a hug that that jerk

[Dora]

4. Hugging is hard work.

I've been fishing for a promotion at the office, but they say I'm just not responsible enough to handle the hugging demands.

:cry:

[etherealtruth]

10. I would think his extra long chimp arms ...

...would make hugging easier.

[Dora]

31. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Didja have to go there?

Ewww.

[The Night Owl]

6. I'd like to comment on what Bush said, but I don't have the slightest idea

I'd like to comment on what Bush said, but I don't have the slightest idea WTF he just said.

Straight shooter, my ass.

[Amy6627]

8. That's because it's unknowable! Love, Rummy

[The Night Owl]

22. But is it a known unknowable or an unknown unknowable?

:crazy:

[ET Awful]

7. I see . . . .

It all makes sense now.

[Iris]

9. What a fucking asshole.

And he was supposed to bring HONOR back to the office of the president?

[rkc3]

16. You forgot dignity!

He was bringing both to DC when he was elected.

[Iris]

25. Ohhhh!!!! I thought it was "diggity" - you know like "hot diggity dog

diggity, mmm what you do to me, Oscar Meyer is hot dog diggity!"

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. "Others hug" What is chimp's first language anyway?

[punpirate]

12. Sure he does...

... peremptorily, without emotion or genuine sympathy. That quote is meant to convince people he has human feeling, when, in fact, he's completely devoid of it. That's why it comes off sounding as false as it does--because the focus of the remark is on him and what he does.

But it works with a media and a public which see the superficial as substance. Thanks, television, for making a monster appear human.

[youthere]

13. Oh see now I didn't know about the hugging...

that makes everything better. Don't worry about your sons or daughters, mothers...If they get killed in action there's a presidential HUG waiting for you. No worries then.:sarcasm:

[Lisa]

18. you only get hugged if you promise to vote for him, or make a big donation

Otherwise, here's what happens to bereaved family members.

""My daughter said to him directly `I wish I could bring my loved one back' and he said something like `so do we.' Later she told me that after he made his remark he gave her one of the filthiest looks she had ever had gotten in her life."

[renate]

19. It's his responsibility

"I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like."

1. "Responsibility to hug" WTF?
2. "and that's me" Well, that part is just plain silly.
3. "I know what it's like." He knows what it's like to have a responsibility to hug? What a burden that must be. Wait, not a burden... what's the word... yeah, delusion, that's it. Getting us out of this mess is your responsibility, W, not administering hugs.

[tk2kewl]

14. I think that where ever you got that from, it must have some typos...

I am sure it was supposed to be "thug" not "hug"

[darkism]

15. "having committed the troops, I've..."

Whoa, is he actually taking responsibility for murdering the 1800+ on a lie?

[0rganism]

17. Time to create a new cabinet position to handle hugging the bereaved

Any nominations for Secretary of Hugs?

Should it be someone sexy with a firm grip, like Jenna Jameson, or maybe we're looking more for the grandmother type?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. A liberal is a conservative who just got hugged...

[Supersedeas]

21. He has to give extra special hugs, that HIM, the Hugger in Chief

[arwalden]

23. The Very Thought Is Nauseating

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. What a fuckhead.

He lost a child in an illegal war based on LIES? When? Where? Which war? Have I told you how much I hate that SOB? :grr:

[Iris]

26. glad I'm not the only one to drop the f-bomb here.

Sometimes I just can't contain myself.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Well,

it is my favorite word when speaking of the idiot. He requires that word be used.:evilgrin:

[Iris]

30. I try to reserve it for special occasions, and usually

something he does fits the bill!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

27. That man is seriously fucked up. I mean seriously sick.

When he "speaks his heart" it only shows he doesn't have one.

[blondeatlast]

28. "That's me and I know what it's like?"

That comment is so wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin...
