I wonder if George even asked who was killed or what happened. Or, is he just ushered along on these trips with a speech in hand and nary a clue?

I wonder if Laura told him he had to do this or if Rove told him this was “an opportunity”?

After all the other crap it amazes me that I still care in the slightest what the man thinks or says.

Can you imagine someone who put their child in school to keep them away from the military and then Preznit Dubya comes along and gives some nitwit speech? If they weren’t in mourning I could easily imagine one of them taking a fist to Dumbya’s face.

Moose @ 319 (why do gun nuts always have archetypal yokel tags?).
As I pointed out, my brother did the PMs at Port Arthur – I know that I’m not the one being conned here. Bryant did it on his little twisted lonesome, though I’m sure phallus-challenged gun nuts (like you?) contributed to the genesis of his perversion. There is a carefully promulgated myth that Bryant couldn’t possibly have shot all those people by himself ’cause everyone knows that you need enormous skill and constant practice to wield these weapons (which is what you blokes use to justify justify everything from wanking to pig shooting), that Bryant was a “borderline personality disorder of low intelligence”, and so the whole thing was a conspiracy (involving teams of SAS snipers and a massive cover up) to yank the automatic and semi-automatic weapons from the cold dead minds of the gun-dependent. Grow a brain.

No, no, sry, I was referring to the original post. So what did the Preznit say? I’m stuck at work, no way to watch/listen in.

So the argument/counter-argument quoted made at least one, possibly two misstatements. I was letting them know. Didn’t mean to ruffle feathers, Mr_ersnefna. My apologies.

Americans have the right to own guns.

They have the right to drive, too, but there’s usually a test involved.
DING!

Hate to be a jerk, but technically you don’t have a right to drive. You have a right to travel, but you operate machinery on the public roadways at the pleasure of the State.

Americans have the right to own guns? Are they all in a free Militia? I’m not saying the 2nd Amendment doesn’t state a right to bear arms; just keep in mind its a little more complicated than that. The NRA always quotes the end ” . . . the right of the people” etc., but they never put the qualifying language in. Keep in mind, the 2nd Amendment is the only Amendment that is qualified with an explanation (or justification).

Its a tough and complicated passage of the Constitution — far more intricate than “it says I get guns!!”

GW Bush, 4/16/07: Ich bin eine Hokie.

Yep, Patrick, I’ve perennially placed “Bush” and “hokey” in the same thought-sentence, too.

After reading your list of predictions and from what I know about our Leader, I wouldn’t bet against you.

I heard he was an Asian. Why does it always have to be a foreigner?

I don’t know exactly what he will do, but I suspect it will involve a platter with a rubber turkey on it.
