So, in his hype-o-matic interview with George W. Bush, “Today Show” talker Matt Lauer gets a glimpse of the former president’s post-White House lifestyle. Hey, he has an iPad! All the better for reading the word of the Lord and Rupert Murdoch—not necessarily in that order.  —KA

G.W. Bush was on Opray’s show with his book of lies. Opray and G.W. laughed and giggled as they talked about his book. Opray showed her true self. You do not laugh, or giggle when having a war criminal on your show who lied about all the misery he commited. On the show, when talking about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he forgot Hans Blix who told him there was no weapons of mass destruction. Of course, Opray was to busy holding Bushs hand, and agreeing to every thing he said to realize she is part of the problem. A stinking rich bitch who can care less about the death and destruction G.W.Bush unleashed on the world.

so now the war criminal will profit further from his crimes as he proudly struts
from one bookselling to the next.
the interview should have taken place in his jail cell, would be great to see him in
prison garb as he deserves
also remember he has done so much harm and evil that will never be revealed.

Weren’t he and Turd Blossom reading hundreds of books at a time? All kinds of intellectual stuff! I’m sure if Dubya gets a few beers and a couple tokes in him he waxes all kinds of philosophical and double entendre and all… you know just like reg’lar folks in their nucular families. How many of those $40,000 cowboy boots does he have again? Why doesn’t Matty ask him something that he can get excited about…like what kind of gun does he recommend for the average American to pack as heat? An iPad! Is he a closet intellectual! That must be it…yeah.

George Bush can read??!!! Really? When he was in college, he admitted to having read only 2 books in his life. The second one was “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, a childrens book when he didn’t have any of his own at that time. So, he was in college when he finally was able to read basically what is considered a book written for children 2 and up. That really is something to be proud of. The former president of the U.S. was finally able to read a preschoolers book by the time he was in college.

And to think that the Repugs and the T.P.er’s want to dissolve the Board of Education in this country. The other book George W. claims he read I can’t remember, but it was probably something like, “A Child’s Garden of Grass,”-actually a very funny book.

As for reading the Bible, a book of contradictions, doublespeak and heresy, I find it hard to believe he ever read any version of the Bible ever published. Much to complex for the likes of a cheerleader. And the WSJ? You’re putting us on aren’t you.

In my dreams, this SOB reads the casualty lists from Iraq over and over and over again.

Well there you have it—all you know or ever need to know, the Bible and the Wall Street Journal.  Keeping body and soul together—just barely.
