I already answered your question. What an amazing coincidence that you clipped my answer from my quote:Originally posted by: nick1985
why was he not facetious? because YOU say so? :roll:Originally posted by: Bowfinger

heres a hint, he was not being serious! he was just proving the point that he never shows up to congress to vote. he knows he has met him before, he has just missed so many times saying that was just a FACETIOUS way of saying it.Originally posted by: Bowfinger

But seriously, he was NOT being facetious. He was being dishonest. I know that's a concept Bush many supporters have trouble with (at least when applied to their own people). They will twist and turn and spin 'til they're blue in the face to avoid acknowledging one of your holies lied. Here's a hint: you're not fooling anyone.
Exactly so. Anything to avoid discussing their record.Originally posted by: conjur

Bush is SUPPRESSING a CIA report on 9/11!!!
You guys are bitching about a statement taken out of context that means not a gd thing???
Damn you all are desperate!!
WTF??????/Can we move on to the next Bush campaign diversion now?
I've got to hand it to them. They have been phenomenally successful in inventing a non-stop stream of diversions to distract the press and public from important issues. It's a shame they can't run a country or manage an invasion so well. Or the economy. Or the environment. Or ... you get the point. They excel at deception and diversion, suck at pretty much everything else.
Of course she is, being a Bush advisor. But her comments are not the focus of the article.2. Karen Hughes is a dishonest, partisan hack. Her prissy fussing about Heinz Kerry ignoring motherhood made a good sound bite for the fawning, so-called "liberal" media, but it conveniently ignored what Heinz Kerry actually said:

lordtyranus, are you expecting the libs to reply with a "She's right!!" or something? Unlike most folks on the other spectrum, the liberals here don't follow party lines and blindly follow whatever their fearless leader (and/or spouse) says
yeah they do, just wait, there will be some liberals in here defending her comments.

Born in Mozambique, Heinz Kerry worked for the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations in the 1960s when she moved to the United States. She has also been the chairman of The Howard Heinz Endowment and the [/b]Heinz Family Philanthropies[/b] since her first husband, Sen. John Heinz, died in a plane crash in 1991.

Yet another YABA diversion from real issues... *yawn* Is it desperation, or just simple boredom? I can't tell.

Uh, ANY issue is more important than this piece. This isn't even worthy of Inside Edition or some rag show like that.
Hell, I think a report that one of the candidates has toe fungus would be more newsworthy.

So I guess I missed this, I didn't see anyone comment...but I would assume that Ms. Ketchup/Senator's wife has held "real jobs" then right? Here's what I saw on CNN:

Aha. That's a real job, as opposed to teacher, librarian, and stay-at-home mother. Funny, I don't know anybody that works at the UN, or is a chairwoman of any endowments. I do know a few teachers and librarians and stay at home moms...
If the roles had been reversed (and I would think that Mrs. Bush would have a much more valid argument on the "real job"), we'd have a 300 post thread by now 😀
Exactly. This is a NON-ISSUE and I'd say the same thing were Laura to say something similar about Teresa.Originally posted by: Ivan244
I find it very interesting so many saying how good Heinz was for apologizing, yet no one seems to mention how well Laura Bush handle the situation.
Laura didn't go crazy, didn't use it as a political agenda. She just merely stated that she understood how much pressure Heinz was under and sometimes you misspeak.
So Libs, how about some love for Laura Bush handling this in a very classy, dignified manner. If you praise Heinz for apologizing, should you not at the very least praise Laura for her handling of the matter?

This is nothing but diversion from the real issues...Bush's failures and Kerry's "plan" to do better.
