    God almighty those strike me as really weird comments under the circumstances, and I can't quite articulate why.

    Just take the first line saying that his parents undestandably would have "significant emotions" because PT was "a man they loved and respected." WTF, "a man they respected"? It was their SON! It goes WAY beyond "respect" and their emotions over this must go WAY beyond "significant". I admit I'm not sure what he should have said, but the word choice here strikes me as so odd and detached from the devastating reality of this.

    Maybe about as much as the geniuses who throw around cute Bush/Cheney names use the Kos stylebook.
     
  5. Please to be providing examples of same. (President Fredo is OURS, dammit, and Cheney's been (a) Dick for as long as he's been alive.)

    Yes, as we all know, the alGore invented the Internets is the PERFECT argument to make in the face of a family grieving over the loss of their son and struggling for answers and the truth.

    Bush should have said, "I empathize with the Tillman family. I share in mourning the loss of their son just as I mourn the loss of every American that makes the ultimate sacrifice for their country. I am hopeful that a full, truthful report will come out in due time."

    After that he should have no comment.

    Now, this is just as phony as what he really said but it is much short and to the point.

    He really is a dunce though. I have no idea how anyone would look at him and say, "This man is a success."

    FB,

    He's damned if he do and damned if he don't.

    I mean for goodness sake, if he doesn't say anything he has no heart for the family that has been hurt by all this, and if he says something he's told to shut up by those same people who would bitch that he said nothing.

    Get over it.

    So, we should get over it? That's the answer to a multitude of problems? Accept it without complaint? Fuck that noise.
