Two people crying


Mays, a young Iraqi Shi'ite girl, cries after a mortar shell which landed outside her home in Najaf injured her uncle August 18, 2004. Explosions and sniper fire echoed from around holy sites in Najaf on Thursday, raising doubts that a radical Shi'ite cleric would end a bloody uprising and leave his sanctuary in a sacred shrine.

First President Bush Sobs While Talking of Son
By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, AP

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Dec. 5) - Former President George H.W. Bush came here Monday to talk about leadership and opened his remarks with advice on working with rivals, being patient and building personal relationships.

He then broke down in tears mentioning his son, Gov. Jeb Bush, as an example of leadership and the way he handled losing the 1994 governor's race to popular incumbent Democrat Lawton Chiles. He vaguely referred to dirty tricks in the campaign.

"He didn't whine about it. He didn't complain," the former president said before choking up in front of lawmakers, Gov. Bush's top administrators and state workers gathered in the House chamber for the last of the governor's leadership forums.

As he tried to continue, he let out a sob and put a handkerchief to his face. When he spoke again, his words were broken up by pauses as he tried to regain composure.

3. It would have been compassionate for Poppy to have cried for all
those his son has killed.

Poppy is a greedy old man who needs to save those tears for when he meets St. Peter at the Gates.

4. What tears?
Twenty to one, that handkerchief was dry as a dead leaf when he put it back in his pocket.

He's hitting the 08 campaign trail for Jeb. Nothing more.

5. You see I just don't get it
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 02:25 PM by OhioBlues
Why did he cry talking about Jeb? What caused him to get that emotional over him? Jeb is just another sore spot on the radar of History what gives?

6. I see these tears as nothing more....
then Poppy and Jeb Boy's realization that their family's dynasty has come to an end because of
George Junior's colossal f***ups.

11. Jeb's his favorite, and would have been Prez if he hadn't lost to
Chiles. Dimson won Texas and hired KKKarl.

8. Probably couldn't portray JEB that way without laughing his ass off.
The handkerchief was a disguise.

"JEB didn't whine." SNORT. "JEB played fair despite the dirty tricks from the other side." HICCUP. "Hang on." CHORTLE. (yank out handkerchief). SNIFF. CHUCKLE (into cloth). "Jeb is such an honest man." (long pause while H hides his face behind the cloth and makes loud honking, gasping sounds and whipes tears from his eyes). etc.

9. His sob/tear sessions over the years are fascinating. I hope some
professionals are analyzing it. They are all related to his sons. This is pretty interesting for a man who can't remember what he was doing when Kennedy was assassinated.

I will continue to be interested in his sobs/tears.

I'd like to ask former President Bill Clinton if Sr sobbed or cried when they traveled together for the Tsunami and Katrina.

This is the kindest I can be today for the author and originator of dirty tricks conducted in all the different job situations he has been in charge of or involved in.

By the way, I would say Sr. is the main person behind protecting a terrorist - on U.S. soil - for acts conducted while living - on U.S. soil - and performing 'tasks' for the CIA and Cuban-Americans who hate Castro - everywhere - Luis Posada Carilles.

(There are many different images of Posada Carrilles if you click Images/Google - with accompanying articles - in case you don't know the story - there is also supposed to be an excellent article in Atlantic Monthly - NPR ran an interview with the author - good insight into protecting favorites and the FBI).

10. He probably figures if Jeb had won in '94 Jeb would be president instead of Junior. That is the
real reason he is crying. Well we are crying too, Poppy, not because Jeb isn't President, but because Junior is, you sorry bastard.
