Bush* mocking condemned inmate: "Please, don't kill me".

"Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, `don't kill me.'" -Talk Magazine, Sept. 1999

From: "Devil May Care" by Tucker Carlson, Talk Magazine, September 1999, p. 106

"Bush's brand of forthright tough-guy populism can be appealing, and it has played well in Texas. Yet occasionally there are flashes of meanness visible beneath it.

While driving back from the speech later that day, Bush mentions Karla Faye Tucker, a double murderer who was executed in Texas last year. In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, Bianca Jagger and a number of other protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Tucker. 'Did you meet with any of them?' I ask.

Bush whips around and stares at me. 'No, I didn't meet with any of them,' he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. 'I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with , though. He asked her real difficult questions, like 'What would you say to Governor Bush?' 'What was her answer?' I wonder.

'Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, 'don't kill me.'

I must look shocked -- ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel, even for someone as militantly anticrime as Bush -- because he immediately stops smirking.

- And we wonder from where the coarsening and dehumanization of society comes from? It comes from the top: GWB*.

Are you for real? Bow-tie Boy?

- Bush* is devoid of empathy or sympathy or caring. That makes him a sociopathic 'evildoer'.

morals or character.:nuke:

:eyes: riiiiiiiight.

What makes people so cruel?

... says Bush* isn't stupid and he isn't mean.

I'm just going to have to disagree with her on that one. I'm in violent agreement with just about everything else she says tho. :)

I don't think Bush is stupid - just lazy and not particularly smart.

...and he gives probably the most damning W quote or incident...the one that belies all that pious BS....

Thanks, Tucker. Youre still a shit, yeah, but karma works in mysterious ways....

that simply cannot be topped.

"I don't like it one bit." What a moron.

Not the actual torture.

A famous British psychologist did an analysis of Bush*'s family history and personality. Little Georgie was abused, belittled, and overshadowed by his parents so he became an alcoholic, self-destructive, anti-intellectual, and cruel 'authoritarian personality.'

This 'authoritarian' personality is the pre-cursor to Fascism Receptivity as defined by researchers in 1950 who tried to understand how large populations could embrace dictators like Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler. Many Americans match the profile, especially religious fundamentalists. Surprised? I didn't think so. But no comparisons with Hitler, ok?

Another indictment of cruelty comes from this study on the components of conservatism studied in an academic model. It confirms differences we have noticed as liberals: fear of change, acceptance of inequality, black and white thinking, targeting of 'others.'

And finally, an analysis of a Bush* State of the Union speech that illustrates the linguistic science of abusive speech used to psychologically manipulate and deceive the listener, something White House writers have mastered to diminish the power of the listener. Yes, the tyranny will be televised.

According to that poll last week, most American's think bush is more compassionate and likable than Kerry. I would love to have those people see this story.
