7. He can't go anywhere there isn't a hand-picked crowd........
you don't expect him to go to West Virginia and meet with unscreened, un-vetted people I hope? I'm sure the advance White House propaganda corps is there right now setting up a screened and vetted crowd for a future visit, maybe for their funerals. Then he can give a speech saying how the invasion of Iraq was the right thing to do and that he has every right to spy on Americans. And how sorry he is these miners had to die.
I don't expect he'll pull another, "you're doing a heck of a job, Brownie" here. Just because another bush crony is in charge of mine safety, just because he's lowered mine safety standards and just because he's lowered EPA standards so the mining companies can drop the slop right into our rivers and streams doesn't mean he doesn't care, you know? He cares deeply, just not enough to talk to the victims' families before they're screened and vetted. george w. bush; a leader among men. :puke:

8. It must really annoy bush that...
there is only 1 survivor down there. It'll screw with the poor man's photo op. Watch him try and say that because the Patriot Act will not be renewed, lives were lost when they could have been saved.

11. Maybe he'll show the families his booboo
and ask for their sympathy.

What an asshole. Speaking of... does anyone have the link to the flash movie that features the "you're an asshole" song? I've lost mine.

12. This man has absolutely no concern with human life.
Working people are just fuel to be burned up on the road to riches.

16. Wonder how many times he'll invoke 9/11...

I wondered how long it would take for his simian face to show up on the tube spewing out trite soundbites in his fake-drawled, stilted, three word sentences.
