Who saw Bush throw the little fish to Barney? He was
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 12:10 PM by bobbyboucher
fishing with Roland Martin I think, I wasn't watching, but I was online at DU and heard many people comment on it. Posters noted that Bush just threw the "little ones" to Barney, an obviously unsportsmanlike move, unless you're a child or a sadist. Little ones grow up to be big ones, right?

Well yesterday, the day after the show aired, I saw a clip on some news show which looked like a trailer for the fishing show that Bush was on. Bush was saying that he liked to let Barney LICK the fish and then "we put them in the bucket for eating later", or some shit. Total cover.

My point is this, it seems like they realized how bad Shrubby looked when he did that to the fish, and then covered his ass, as usual, with some bullshit later about eating the fish. I think originally, he said he liked to give the little ones to Barney, and he had no intention of eating it or throwing it back, the sick wasteful fuck.

Of course, compared to Bush's overall rating on the sickfuck-o-meter, this isn't much. But they still had to cover for his sorry ass. He is such a fraud.

Can anyone who saw the show verify the original and whether my theory is correct or blurred.

1. After Barney played with the fish the way he did, nobody could eat
that! From the clip on The Daily Show, the actual dog playing with fish scene was shown.

2. It was on the Daily Show, the "lick" and "put back in the bucket"
comments were seperate incidents from the "little ones go to barney to eat live" act of wickedness.

4. That's what I was wondering, did they rewrite history?
They have to clean up behind Georgie like he is a little schnauzer, shitting his way down the sidewalk.

3. It is against regulations to take small fish - you have to throw them back
He is breaking the law by doing that.

5. I think he should be impeached
If the Presiduce can't uphold the laws of the land, who can we trust?

6. The "lake" they were fishing in is on the Crawford "ranch"
and the owner (Bush, I guess) pays to have the lake stocked with fish. So I guess he owns them all and can do what he wants with them!

Stupid, but true.
:evilgrin:

9. "Small" is relative...
and I don't know if the ones Barney got were keepers or not.

Nor do I know if he exceeded the catch limit, if any, on that trip.

However, if a getting a blowjob gets you impeached, violating fish and game laws certainly should.

15. What was he taking?
If he was fishing for suckers (there is such a fish) or perch, he could take anything he wanted. Small, large, no matter.

If they were gamefish...

BTW, George, the sportsmen you're trying to woo proudly practice catch-and-release angling. Some of them throw EVERYTHING back!

8. I didn't see the original, but I saw the Daily Show cover it...
The "I catch the little ones and let Barney palay with them" comment and the "..let Barney lick the fish" comment seemed to be two totally different comments (based on positions of other stuff in the back ground).

11. fishhook=cruel
unless needed for food, fishing is cruel.

No thinking person hunts or fishes for fun.

Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 01:26 PM by Democat
The Republicans and the U.S. media would be outraged.

16. Real fishermen/women
don't treat fish or any of the other animals we encounter in the sea in this way.

When you catch a fish that they are not going to keep and use for bait or to eat, the fish is returned to the water as soon as possible and as gently as possible.

W once again shows his true self. He really does hate everything and everyone.
