What a selfish POS Bush is....

[ikojo]

I am watching channel 5 news in St Louis (channel 5 is owned by Gannett which also owns USA Today). They had a short story about Bush sitting in church and coming up short on the collection plate. The camera shows the collection plate being passed and Bush (that POS--and I truly apologize to Mr Hankey from South Park because calling Bush a POS is an insult to sh*t)....well as the plate is passed Bush DOES NOT PUT ANYTHING IN...his daddy, who is seated behind him hastily pulls out a dollar to place in the plate as does Cheney.

The newsreader said that Bush rarely carries cash. BULLSH*T! He is PRESIDENT and if he KNOWS he is in a public setting where the cameras are you would think he'd be prepared to put SOMETHING in the plate!

Had CLINTON just passed the collection plate without putting ANY MONEY in it, you had better bet the conservative press would be saying something about how it reflects the shallowness of his faith

He and his kind ask Americans to give, give, give but they DO NOTHING....NOTHING.


Have I said how much I HATE, LOATH and DESPISE these people?

WHY W. DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH.

Most Americans are aware that George W. Bush is a religious man. He is, after all, the man who presided over a religious revival of sorts at the Republican National Convention. He is the man who has pioneered what could be called cardio-diplomacy, judging world leaders--and, at times, entire nations--by their "hearts." He is the subject of at least four spiritual hagiographies currently in bookstores, and one religious documentary ("George W. Bush: Faith in the White House"). Most famously, Americans know him as the man who, when asked to cite the philosopher who had the greatest influence on him, named Jesus Christ. 

snip

The first excuse conservatives provide is that Bush can't possibly be expected to have time to go to church, what with being leader of the free world and all. Yet, during Jimmy Carter's four years in the White House, he found time not only to attend a Baptist church in the Washington, D.C., area, but to teach Sunday school there as well. For a presidential delegator like Bush--who has freed up enough time to spend approximately one-third of his presidency on vacation--finding a few hours for church should be a snap. 

snip

Or it could be that Bush's faith, while sincere, is not terribly deep. Aikman, who had significant access to Bush confidantes while writing his book, has said that he "could not get from anybody a sort of credo of what believes." Nevertheless, Aikman pressed on by "intuit" Bush's faith and presenting as evidence of the president's deep spiritual commitment his fondness for carrots and jogging (apparently a response to the scriptural admonition to treat the body as a temple for God) and the politeness of White House staffers ("though manners are not specifically connected to George W.'s personal religious faith, it was as though the discipline he brought to his own life of prayer and Bible study filtered down into the work habits of everyone who worked with him"). 

snip

It's not as if political reporters have ignored the church-going habits of Bush's opponent. During the "John Kerry Wafer Watch," they have done everything short of inspect the senator's molars for evidence of any unswallowed Host. Hyperbole? A recent Kerry campaign pool report included this observation: "Both Mr. and Mrs. received communion, taking the host from the priests in their hands (others took direct to mouth). They spent ample time on the kneeler."

5. Even Her Majesty,

Queen Elizabeth II, puts money in the collection plate at church. In fact, according to Majesty Magazine , it is the only time she ever carries money.

6. He gave at the office

[ikojo]

8. He gave the SHAFT to working class Americans

at the office....I'd prefer that he stay away from the office thank you very much.

[Floogeldy]

9. True dat!

[liberal N proud]

10. Since he was chosen by GOD to be president, and talks directly with him

it is not necessary for him to contribute to any charitable organization.
It is a wonder he didn't assume the money in the plate was for him and take it out of the plate.

[pansypoo53219]

11. apparently

we are blessed with just his presense.

[Bullwinkle925]

12. I thought it was a truly wonderful television moment.............

as I once heard on an Oprah show years ago - "When people show you WHO they are, BELIEVE them"!!

If only the other half of America would pull their heads out of their asses and LOOK at this monster!

[Orsino]

13. He can't even be coached to carry a five for a photo op?

Geez.

I guess, though, that to stay on message would require him to pass the plate to a child, containing an IOU.

[toddzilla]

14. TV=bad!!

especially st. louis tv!!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

15. We must have the tape of that.... can you get it?

That is a keeper.

[vixengrl]

16. That's odd--I mean, I know all churches are a little different

but the collection plate thing is pretty standard. I remember when I was a kid and my friends would invite me to go to their churches ("take a pagan to church day"?) my mom would tell me to make sure I brought a dollar. Presumably, when W was taken to church as a kid, and over the course of the fifty plus years, he's been aware of the drill.

[ikojo]

17. One is assuming W was taken to church by his

parents....the only god they seem to worship is the almighty dollar.
