Could Bush spare those TEN seconds?
I just saw Bush and the Mrs. visit Reagan's casket on C-SPAN. What the hell kind of prayer do you think Bush ripped out in ten seconds?

"Dear God, throw some of Reagan's popularity my way, thanks a bunch, Amen."

I loathed Reagan and I thought Bush's visit to the casket was disrespectful. I can only hope the true Reaganites out there see it the same way.

No. Class. Resident.

1. Darn, I missed it!
I'm stuck at work and can't watch the coverage.

3. I bet he had to go home and practice is eulogy...and practice hiding
the earpiece.
Or are they going to have teleprompters poking out of the casket?

4. He's skeered of flag-draped coffins
I'm surprised he was able to make it up there at all.

5. Shrub's gotta be green with envy.
He probably can't stand that Ronnie has taken away so much attention from his stellar performance in Europe. He is also probably pissed that Ronnie had Alzeimer's since stem cell research is going to be a monkey on his back.


10 sec's is just enough time for Schrub to mumble under his breathe "Sucks to be me"

6. Funny, but the Freeps
were complaining about Kerry's visit being short. Junior cut that time in half, easily.

8. I saw it and thought the same thing
Also, Shrub did a head gesture towards his wife that made him look like he was walking his dog.

Are you sure it was a full 10 seconds?

10. But to Tweety, It Was "an amazing moment"
No matter what LITTLE Shrub does, Tweety blathers his jerk-ass CRAP making Shrub out to be SOMETHING. (Think LETTERMAN's, "Is It Anything?")
