Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Among the anecdotes in Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer's new book Speechless are the claims that Donald Rumsfeld had to be talked out of editing his own entry on Wikipedia -- which he referred to as "Wika-wakka" -- and President Bush refused to add lines condemning gay marriage in a Furman commencement speech in 2008. Bush reportedly said, "I'm not going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can't get married."

Bush on Jimmy Carter: "If I'm ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away."

Looks like Bush is a racist too....

FTA: Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins is fond of sending angry, middle-of-the-night e-mails to staffers because she's frustrated that her colleague and rival Olympia Snowe gets more and better press. As a result, reports Latimer, she rips through press secretaries like 30-packs at a beer-pong tournament

LOL.

Feith really is "the stupidest fucking guy in the world".

Laura Bush a democrat for all intents and purposes?

That was funny too.

Be Well.

Obama will, same stance as Bush on gay marriage.

Bigoted, the both of them.

Bush: I Won't Tell a Gay Kid He Can't Marry, instead I'll try and get an Amendment passed and let Congress tell them that


Another incomplete headline finished by Kanrei

Bush: I Won't Tell a Gay Kid He Can't Marry When I'm in Office and need to demagogue for rtard votes, I'll wait until I leave office and need to polish my retarded image.

I was severely disappointed that Bush was:

--not MUCH harsher in locking down the southern border (and if we start getting hoards of illegals from the north, then that one too...)

--spent to much money (partly excusable due to the war, but his domestic spending had no such excuse...)

But I voted for him in 2004 for the same reason Lincoln kept Grant. "I can't spare the man, he fights." (Warning to idiots: "Grant the Butcher" comparisons will make your ignorance show...)

History will be somewhat kind to Bush.

If Bush had been an option in 2008, I would have prefered him still, because "Hope and Change" has every flaw that Bush has, but worse, and none of his virtues.

Only a knuckle dragging drooling idiot can't comprehend that OFTEN there is no "Good vs Bad" choice, and often your options are "Bad and Worse".

I'll wait until I leave office and need to polish my retarded image before letting my compassionate nature be known.

Bush: I Won't Tell a Gay Kid He Can't Marry. 'Specially if He's Hot!

You guys need to be more concerned with Obama. Tell me what he has done for gay rights since he has been in office?

"I'll wait until I leave office"

Except, the speech was given while he was in office. Do try to keep up.

But I voted for him in 2004 for the same reason Lincoln kept Grant. "I can't spare the man, he fights."

Grant won. Bush didn't. Using your logic you'd have voted for Hitler, Castro or Ho Chi Min.

Bush's "surge" in Iraq was an admission the Iranians had won and started obeying the saudis and paying and protecting the sunni terrorists from them.

--spent to much money (partly excusable due to the war, but his domestic spending had no such excuse...)

Yet you excuse him the horrible decision to go to war to begin with.
That's like saying that the person who caused a 10 car pile-up is a hero because he gave CPR to one of the victims of the crash.

He had no problems telling gay kids they couldn't marry if advocating a constitutional amendment against it that had no chance of being adopted got out the anti-gay vote for him. It's the hypothetical gay kid in that audience on that occasion that he didn't want to say couldn't get married.

So either he really has a problem with it but didn't want to risk getting heckled or he doesn't but was willing to say he did for political purposes.

Neither scenario is flattering. Both reek of expediency and hypocrisy. His presidency in a nutshell.

"partly excusable due to the war, but his domestic spending had no such excuse"

Echoing TFD a bit--there was no excuse for going to war in the first place. Well, there were _many_ excuses, but no real _reasons_. (Gee, but that reason kept shifting...)

I say we investigate Bush for this. Get the special prosecutor on it stat.

Bush was for civil unions.

I applaud Bush for refusing to spoil graduation day with anti-gay marriage rhetoric in a commencement speech. I wish his sentiments had extended to supporting gay marriage.

I applaud Bush for refusing to spoil graduation day with anti-gay marriage rhetoric in a commencement speech. I wish he had the sack to actually make his stance known when he still had the bully pulpit.

with a little luck and some Democratic backbone, we won't have to wait that long, Dubya...

Doesn't Jeb have a son around marrying age? Hmmmm...

Hmmmm...

Sounds a little "contradictimitory" to me...

I used to pooh-pooh the rigid right's insisting that I HATE George W. Bush. Then I saw him sitting and smirking with John Madden at the Dallas Cowboys game last night, felt my blood pressure do its old familiar rise, and was glad - glad, I tell you, GLAD! - that the Giants finally pulled it out. herm

Laura Bush was a librarian. It's her redeeming quality.

Why do libs who hated Bush now hang on his every word and yearn to suck his aching cock?
Because Sarah Palin isn't making headlines lately.

Bush reportedly said, "I'm not going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can't get married. My boss Dick Cheney wouldn't like it if spoke to his daughter that way."

He's a former president, does it really matter what he says/does anymore?

I'm surprised this thread has 30 posts...but then again I'm posting so what the hell am I doing here?

I'll post it again--

Bush was for civil unions for gays.

"Bush was for civil unions for gays."

Yet he never once set instructions to write that law to the guys who followed every other whim of his.

Go figure.

Well of course not. He might spit at him and give him gay cooties....

When Bush heard "gay," he thought someone meant "happy." Why would Bush want to prevent happy people from gettig married?

Bush on Jimmy Carter: "If I'm ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away."

Sounds like a wise and righteous man

Jeff Gannon is one happy queer upon hearing this news!

I can understand Bushs dilemma, since he was a bisexual who was forced to support an anti-gay platform in his 2004 run for the Presidency.

Isn't it strange that the author of this story bought his book at a bookstore near dupont circle, the unofficial gay capital of dc.
