Even Texas Republicans such as Dallas Rep. Pete Sessions are distancing themselves from President Bush.

The president, Mr. Sessions told a group of eighth-graders visiting the Capitol last week from Akiba Academy in Dallas, "is doing everything he thinks is correct," and yet "the American people are fed up.... we've lost the House and Senate, and everybody hates George Bush."

The problem, Mr. Sessions said, is that the president hasn't reached out enough, on a host of issues.

"When I was the quarterback of the team," Mr. Sessions said, "if I came and told everybody, 'I don't care whether you like it or not, I'm going to do what I want to do,' my guys wouldn't block for me."

1. People are wising up!

:wow:

[MissWaverly]

2. too little, too late

they seem to have good hindsight, no oversight.

[rainbow4321]

4. They are just trying to save their own asses

Guess we won't be seeing Sessions down at the ranch anytime soon!!


I had to re-read the paragraph several times before I posted it here to make sure he really said it TO the class.....

[MissWaverly]

6. guess they will have to return his wedding gift

there's a downside to everything.

[Solly Mack]

3. lolol

that's funny

[Bandit]

5. He is publicly kissing his ass goodbye..

He is just smart enough to see the dream is over..The GOP Dream is not the American Dream by a very long shot.

[But....]

7. But you notice...

no problem with his handling of the issues, only the way he deals with the "team" around him.
That not enough.:spank:

[MissWaverly]

8. the fumble was his

they knew as Chris Shays said that George and Dick were having their own excellent adventure outside the rule of law, the Constitution and every established tradition, GOP congress critters WENT along with and gave them a free pass. Now that the American people are angry, now they want to blame the mysterious somebody for not intervening in this mess, it was his job, he fumbled.

[But....]

12. Nailed it..

:thumbsup:

[MissWaverly]

13. I hope this will all be addressed

we really need to establish boundaries of the 3 branches or America will lose it's ability to govern itself. Bill Moyers was talking about an "ill executed" government. I think it was quoted that the federal government used 60 million dollars under a mandate established by Bill Clinton to investigate possibly toxic chemicals in US. They have not yet tested 1 chemical despite spending all that money.

[But....]

14. I'm afraid there's a long list...

of issues that need to be addressed now, and if seems like none of them will be start until next Jan.:bounce: I pray that we're up to the tasks ahead. Family time now-keep your head up and your eyes open:toast:

[MissWaverly]

16. yes, and 1 step at a time

we are not going to have a magic wand to undo 30 years of trickle down economics, cowboy
diplomacy and privatization of government services by heckuva job toadies that do not serve
the public but we can make a start.

[Ghost in the Machine]

9. Wow! A republicon finally told the truth?? Call Guinness!!

[rainbow4321]

11. I'd settle for the quote making the M$M!!!!

Especially with McLame smuggling chimp in for a fundraiser behind closed doors!!

[MannyGoldstein]

10. Maybe The Republicans Will Finally Impeach

Not likely - but possible.

[librechik]

15. unfortunately Sessions had to have his lips surgically removed from Bush's ass to say that

he's one of the worst, too. Just trying to save his own ass in office.

[nichomachus]

17. This asshole didn't "distance" himself at all

He didn't say Bush was a murdering thief -- he merely said that he wasn't inclusive enough in getting people to sign on to his murdering and thievery. He didn't distance himself at all.

[Bjorn Against]

18. Of course while he says that he hates George Bush he will keep voting for the Bush agenda...

And then when it comes time to get reelected on that agenda that he continually voted for and supported he will say "see I am not George Bush I even said I hated him." Saying he hates Bush is not good enough, he needs to stand up and say that he was wrong on every vote that he cast in favor of the Bush agenda.

If he is not unwilling to denounce all his previous votes in favor of Bush, then he is essentially arguing that everyone should hate him as well because he is a Bush clone.

[progressoid]

19. Well, it's an election year and * is definately not going to help in that dept.

I'm surprised more Repukes aren't distancing themselves.

[ForeignSpectator]

20. Swaying with the wind oppurtunist, nothing to be excited about.

The problem is no that the president hasn't reached out enough, the problem is that he is criminal.

[rainbow4321]

22. Not necessarily "excited"

But to see how far this state has come in the last 8 years...never would have thought we would ever hear the words "everyone hates George Bush" from a TX repuke. Never mind to a group **of kids**..and here it has been a few days and there are no other TX repukes calling for Session to be flogged or ostracized. Nothing. Not a word.
TX repukes know they are screwed come Nov 2008 and they all have chimp to thank for that!

[lpbk2713]

21. Better remember this guy well, kids.

... republicans are dying off faster than you can count em.

Thanks in no small part to that asshole that everybody hates.

:rofl: :rofl:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. Meh.....

He seems to imply the American people are somehow wrong about all this.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. Bush has never been a quarterback, but a pom-pom wielding cheerleader

threatening to go home with the ball if the team doesn't like his cheers.

Chimpy is the one all in white, in the wig and dress in the middle.
