Bush asks Condi for permission to use bathroom

I knew this discussion would quickly end up in the toilet...

Why? There hasn't been a good democratic president since............ um hang on..........um wait..........that's right, there's never been a good democratic president

I guess being polite matters no matter how much power you have.

this is kind of funny, isn't it ?
if that's all our american friends had to worry about, there wouldn't be much to worry about, right ?
apparently the president had to establish first "if it was possible " . good thing condi allowed him to go, wouldn't you say ?
still smiling. hbg

I can see the flack now if Bush would have just gotten up and left. This BS thread would have been twice as bad.

Thanks, Dr. Buns. You're right.

(Constant repeat in my head of Grandpa's words as I was growing up..."Now, Squinney, hate is a very strong word. We must be careful with strong words.")

The difference between Clinton and Bush is that Clinton didn't do things that killed people.

As far as the arsenic, a study had already been done so it was a waste of time and more money to say he would ask for another study and then decide. And, if you'll remember, he did that same thing with numerous things. Just forget all the stuff already done and start over just because it was done on Clintons watch. Well, just suppose if he had listened to the group that had already looked into Al Qaeda and had a report ready instead of scrapping it and saying Cheney would start over and lead a new study.

As I stated before, these people don't listen to reason. While some claim to be born again (I actually think that's more the followers than the people in charge) I think it's just a political move for votes. No Christian, REAL Christian, would govern with such puffery and disregard for life or stewardship of the planet.

(Can I lie on your couch here? Thanks.)

Probably, a good part of my dislike, disgust and .... hate (sorry Grandpa) of this administration IS their misuse of religion. They not only give Christians a bad name, they are turning many away, including me. Maybe I would have wandered to the dark side of disbelief and questioning anyway... I don't know.

The whole Armeggedon rapture thing as an excuse for not having to take care of the world just makes me sick. That so many swallow this crap makes me more sick. Again, I think that's just a ploy to get through the legislation / policy for big business that they want, not a real Christian belief on the part of this administration. That's evil.

Have you read "People of the Lie" by Dr. M Scott Peck? He defines evil as Live spelled backwards. Evil is opposite of live. Everything this administration does is opposite of encouraging life. I have to disagree with you that they aren't the devil in that context. The devil doesn't really wear a red suit and carry a pitchfork.

So, maybe the note isn't a big deal. I do agree that the photographer invaded his privacy, which is kinda funny given how our individual privacy has been invaded over the last five years by Bush / Republicans. Maybe if he and his followers stayed out of our bedroom, we wouldn't walk in on him in the bathroom.

Okay, I think my times up. Thanks, Doc. What'll I owe ya?
