GW Bush..."...and I did not sell my soul"

As part of a Canadian cross-country speaking tour, George W. Bush reminisced about the years of his presidency on Thursday, at a $400-a-seat steak luncheon. The tour is organized in part, The Vancouver Sun reports, to promote his upcoming memoir, and if this speech is any indicator of what's to come, the book will be thin on regrets.

"I am confident that I made decisions based on principle, that I made calls as best I could, and I did not sell my soul," Bush told an audience of about 1,000 men and women...
(If "I did not sell my soul" is not fodder for Bush's upcoming motivational speaking gig, I'm not sure what is.)

He did mention regretting standing in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner in 2003. The Sun reports:

10. Oh, he often sold what he didn't have
He just couldn't find one in the entire crowd he ran with. If he had, he wouldn't have known what one looked like anyway. The sorry sumbitch.

4. Note the difference between Bill Clinton and G.W. Bush. Clinton does not need to go around being
defensive about his administration's accomplishments. The "decider" does.

5. BOSSHOG - and I did not sell my Corvette
I don't have a Corvette george and you don't have a soul. Having a soul requires a conscience and you profess to be a conservative so there ya go.

18. Of course he can, he's a Bush. They sell other people's assets all the time.
The US Treasury and Interior being their most recent example.

I believe it's called "committing waste" and they are specialists at it.

8. Tried, but no market.
Likely a foreclosure, in any case.

9. I wouldn't expect a war criminal who got away with his crimes to say anything different.
and he gets to say that bullshit because he did get away with his crimes. He can spout any kind of bullshit he wants to spout about his crimes...frame his actions however he wants...because he won't be challenged. He knows he won't be touched so he can frame his war crimes however he sees fit.

Calling him a liar isn't challenging him. Some journalist writing an article explaining why Bush is a liar isn't challenging him either. All of that amounts to nothing more than he said/she said... just plain worthless.

Prosecute the piece of shit...that would be challenging him.

Edited on Fri Oct-23-09 02:33 PM by krispos42
Or that violated his moral priciples.





Clever phraseology. I wonder which soulless Republican wrote that for him?

13. "As best I could" doesn't mean much, coming from a double-digit IQ. And. he had no soul to sell.

15. Bush had to actually possess a soul to sell one
Otherwise he would have not been rated well on eBay.

17. "I am not a crook"
But he's right, he didn't have one to sell. Souls don't run in his family.

24. So who expected something different
from a war criminal and pathological liar?
Remember, the Bush cartel creates its own reality.

26. LIAR!
I would judge Cheney to be more culpable but W Bush was intelligent enough to know he was criminal in his behavior. I doubt Bush ever did anything in his life based on sound "principle".

27. Oh puh-leeeze! It is a genetic FACT that bush* family members have no soul...
Edited on Sun Oct-25-09 08:31 AM by Raster
...coupled with the fact that his mother's side of the family are devoid of a conscience. Put them together and you have the perfect little family of cold-blooded, sociopathic sleazeballs.

Illegally selected! NEVER lawfully elected!:kick:cheney*/bush* = war criminals!
