1. I don't see...
I don't see a problem with using these. Border Patrol agents are routinely attacked by drug runners and coyotes, so I don't see what the problem is with using NON LETHAL defensive weapons. Yet again Darth Chimp sells out the people protecting us for political gain...

2. Forget the headline, hear are lil' nephews most interesting utterances
The younger Bush, whose father is Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and mother, Columba, is originally from Mexico, acknowledged at a news conference that the war in Iraq is not popular in Mexico but defended the military action, saying "we're almost done with it."

and

He called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez "a dictator" and cast doubt on his victory last week in a recall referendum, saying Chavez had "a long history of fraud." Outside observers, including former President Jimmy Carter, have endorsed the Venezuelan vote counts.



Yup, this guy is dumb enough to be a Bush. I'd like to have Uncle GeeW give some clarification on these two utterances

3. From the lips of George P.
"MEXICO CITY -- President Bush's nephew, campaigning for overseas votes in Mexico on Saturday, called the federal policy of arming U.S. Border Patrol agents with plastic pellet guns "reprehensible."

Speaking in a mix of English and sometimes-halting Spanish, George P. Bush said his uncle was not to blame for the gun policy, which has angered Mexicans. He instead blamed it on "some local INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) guy who's trying to be tough, act macho."

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

GOD ALMIGHTY!!! THESE B U S H E S SURE KNOW HOW TO MASTER THE ART OF PASSING BLAME UNTO SOME GENERALIZED OTHER, i.e. "some local INS guy
trying to be macho" -- NOT GEORGE P's UNCLE GEORGIE, O NO!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :think: :think: :think: :grr: :grr: :grr:
