“Bush hater” is a term invented by people who didn’t like being called “Clinton haters” because it was true. I don’t mind being called a Bush hater because it is not.
My antipathy for George Bush is a thousand miles wide and a micro-millimeter deep. Underneath that thin veneer of dislike lurks one million metric tons of couldn’t-care-less.
On that glorious day when he goes back to Crawford for good - and the world once again becomes safe for democracy - before the sun sets, I will have forgotten him. Seriously. George who?
(For Mr. Bush, I predict the transition from Worst President Ever to Worst Ex-President Ever will be seamless. He’ll be content, finally, to have nothing on his schedule but working on his abs. We won’t be hearing much from him. I mean, it’s not like he’s going to write a book.)
What sets Mr. Bush apart from past presidents is how woefully ill-equipped he was for the job when he took office. His staff might have compensated for his incompetence if it hadn’t been for the bad luck thrown their way. But isn’t crisis management the most important qualification for the presidency?
With the exception of hardcore ideological issues that might benefit his constituents, such as his very effective redistribution of wealth from the middle class up to the super-rich, Bush has bungled issues that have come up both large and small - from 9/11 to stem cell resarch, from the war in Iraq to Social Security “reform,” from the death of Terri Schiavo to the nomination of Harriet Miers.
The president’s incompetence is compounded by his blindness to it. He lacks the mental discipline to undertake analysis or introspection, which renders him bereft of the fundamental tools required to take corrective action when he makes mistakes.
Basic communications skills are another minimum requirement for the presidency in the TV age. But this president is hands down the worst public speaker in modern politics. His speechifying style is bizarre. The … staccato … way he … talks … grinds on the brain of the listener. He sounds like Capt. James T. Kirk doing a hillbilly accent with a mouth full of marbles.
The good ol’ boy demeanor he projects strains credulity. Why would a pampered, prep-schooled aristocrat, born to parents whose combined lineage includes America’s wealthiest and WASP-iest families, adopt the persona of a back-slappin’ backy-chawin’ goober?
And that is the final point, he did not get where he is on his merits - he became president because he had the right name. Every single other thing about him is built on fiction.
Failing upward into the presidency is just un-American.
First Impression
How did I become a so-called Bush hater? There’s an old saying, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression” - and George Bush Jr. made a very bad first impression on me.
Sometime after the Republican convention in 1988 I read a quote from George W. that singled him out in my mind from among Vice President Bush’s half-dozen or so grown children. During the convention - where his father became the Republican presidential nominee - Bush Jr. gave an interview to a reporter from the Hartford Courant that went like this:
REPORTER: When you’re not talking about politics, what do you and [your father, the Vice President of the United States] talk about?
GEORGE W. BUSH: Pussy.
When I read this, it struck me that those two syllables spoke volumes: “I am a dunderhead, and I am brazen about it. And by the way, fuck you.”
Looking back now, I realize he was probably drunk or coked up.
Imagine the outrage from the Right and the “librhul media” if that word had been uttered by Roger Clinton, Chip Carter or one of John Kerry’s kids. The campaign would have been putting out that fire for months.
But now we know that in 1988, Bush Jr. was not just another politically clueless member of a candidate’s family shooting off his mouth.
During the Reagan years, George W. had been tutored, along with young Karl Rove, in smashmouth politics by its modern inventor, Lee Atwater. Junior had to have been fully aware how politically reckless that answer was. Republicans were already in bad odor with women voters after eight years of Reagan policies. Viewed in that light, the answer he chose to give in that interview was a sniper shot at his father’s presidential campaign.
In fact, if you look closely, that single remark reveals layers of festering rage directed at women in general, and his mother, wife and toddler-age twin daughters, specifically; his father personally as well as the Bush-Quayle campaign; and - last but not least - the media. Was he daring the Courant reporter to publish the naughty word?
Even more revealing is this: Can we assume the answer was a lie? Please, God. I hope the Bushes, father and son, do not have conversations like this:
GEORGE H.W. BUSH: Hey son, so are you getting plenty of poontang these days?
GEORGE W. BUSH: Wee-doggies, you bet. Me and Neil just ordered up some Asian hootchie mamas the other day and banged the heck out of ‘em.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH: That’s my boy!
BEAVIS: Heh-heh.
BUTTHEAD: Heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh.
Fact from Fiction
A central tenet in the Rove “Way of War” is to attack your opponent not on his weaknesses and foibles but on his strengths. (The new term of art for this is “Swiftboating.”)
In all his campaigns, no one has ever Swiftboated George Bush. You have to wonder why, since his perceived strengths are mostly fiction. For example:
Fiction: George W. Bush is “resolute.” Fact: He has flip flopped on campaign finance reform, formation of the Homeland Security Department and the 9/11 commission - to name just three examples. (For more, click here.)
Fiction: Invading Iraq has made us safer. Fact: Our presence there is recruiting new terrorists every day.
Fiction: Our invasion had nothing to do with Iraq’s oil. Fact: If there had been no oil in Iraq, we wouldn’t be there. Earlier this year, Sec. of State Condoleeza Rice declared, “in our world there remain outposts of tyranny in Cuba, and Burma and North Korea, and Iran and Belarus, and Zimbabwe.” The brutal regimes that run those countries are all guilty of abuses as bad or worse than Saddam Hussein’s. If Mr. Bush really cared about reigns of terror in foreign lands, we would have invaded them all. The difference is, none of those places have significant oil reserves.
Fiction: Bush quit drinking in the 1980s. Fact: Despite this assertion in his autobiography, which was written by Karen Hughes, the Smoking Gun has video of Mr. Bush quite drunk at wedding in 1992. Maybe he never quit. For all we know, Mr. Bush’s incompetence may stem from the fact that he is too impaired to do his job.
Chicken Neck
By labeling the opposition to the president as “Bush haters,” the Right hopes that the Left will fall into the same trap they did - that, like them, our loathing of the man will so blind us with rage that we over-reach as they did when they impeached President Clinton.
Not gonna happen. What they don’t understand is that hating Bill Clinton was personal for them. There is nothing about George Bush that inspires a more visceral reaction than mild to intense nausea. He’s an annoying super-annuated frat boy. Period.
In 2005, the public began to wake up to the reality of the real man that lurks behind the “Dear Leader” hologram his handlers have created. Across the board, polls show that the public no longer trusts George Bush. This awakening among the citizenry reminded me of a column Molly Ivins wrote after the 2004 presidential elections:
Some people think you cannot break a dog that has got in the habit of killin’ chickens, but my friend John Henry always claimed you could. He said the way to do it is to take one of the chickens the dog has killed and wire the thing around the dog’s neck, good and strong. And leave it there until that dead chicken stinks so bad that no other dog or person will even go near that poor beast. Thing’ll smell so bad the dog won’t be able to stand himself. You leave it on there until the last little bit of flesh rots and falls off, and that dog won’t kill chickens again.
The Bush administration is going to be wired around the neck of the American people for four more years, long enough for the stench to sicken everybody. It should cure the country of electing Republicans.
And at least Democrats won’t have to clean up after him until it is real clear to everyone who made the mess.
During his administration’s disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, many Americans got their first glimpse of the real George W. Bush. While the rest of us were glued to the news watching an ancient American city drowning in the rising waters of Lake Ponchitrain, the president was AWOL. When he finally reappeared, he came off as clueless, disengaged and really too tired (some say hungover) to be bothered.
What may have been the tipping point for political independents and other former supporters of the president was the news that his underlings had been forced to burn a DVD of news coverage in order to catch him up the storm’s destruction and his administration’s failures. People who had bought into the fictional Dear Leader persona were left wondering why George Bush hadn’t been curious enough to turn on the news himself. What sort of leader can’t work up the energy to watch news of the despair and tragedy of his people?
What sort of man doesn’t give a damn that his countrymen are drowning?
President Bush’s poll numbers went into a decline after Katrina and have never fully recovered. In every poll since then, more than half those questioned have disapproved of his performance.
Apparently, it took the loss of an American city to wake people up to the fact that they had a rotting chicken tied to their necks.
The problem in our country today is not Bush hating, it’s Bush worship. It is the minority of people who give blind obedience to this man, especially those in the middle and lower classes whose interests he opposes, who are giving aid and comfort to the destruction of American democracy.
You hit a dozen nails on the head with one fell swoop!
Where I am concerned, Bush isn’t worthy of such a lofty feeling as hatred. All he inspires in me is utter contempt blended with a healthy and natural revulsion.
excellent piece…
start the impeachment inquiry….
I can tell you exactly what George W. would sound like without the good ol’ boy shtick: Jeb, a snearing, snarling, sardonic smartmouth. But I was told once by an aide of Jeb’s that the two brothers aren’t really acting. He said Jeb in real life is quick on the uptake, fairly intellectually inclined, and multilingual. George, on the other hand, really is a slow, uninterested, lightweight who struggles with English as his first language.
great read. bush will soon be wishing it was 2005 again with all the investigations that will be going on soon. 2006 is looking great, especially november.
I, too, have struggled with the love/hate dichotomy when it comes to GWB. My Scripture quotes the Christ as saying, “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” Hating a brother has eternal consequences. But the opposite of hate is not love, but indifference. There’s the rub. One cannot be indifferent to this “brother” in the White House whose very presence there is an affront to decency and whose stupid policies and murderous war-mongering has befouled America before the world. I know I despise him for that. Is despising someone the same as hating him? I hope not. That leave only love. Not a mamby-pamby kind of love, but a tough love, the kind of love that is akin to the slogan “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.”
So for me the question becomes, “How can we together so love and befriend this poor mis-begotten brother that he would repent, turn from his wicked ways, and finally be saved?”
I agree with everything here, but isn’t it kind of beside the point? All of Bush’s many policy errors appear to be the work of the foul, vile man that we have as our Vice President. Bush is a puppet. Dick is the evil puppeteer.
Yup. I’ve been told a few times that I hate George W. Bush more than I love America. But the fact is that I dislike Mr. Bush exactly–exactly–to the extent that I love my country. Outside the immediate context of the destruction he has wrought here, this little man isn’t worthy of any strong emotion. A little mild contempt, sure–just what I’d reserve for anyone who’d been born on third base and never grew out of imagining that he’d hit a triple. But hatred? Naw.
This is an astonishing piece. Bravo!
Why is George the only one in his family that talks like a hick? Mother doesn’t. Daughters don’t.
You are a darn good writer.
Not only is George W Bush the worst president in American history, he is the worst human being to ever serve as President in American history.
The rotting carcass of the bird has been hanging around our necks for 5 years now and the right keeps telling us it’s chicken marsala.
How many more lies and scandals will it take?
It’s time to start speaking the “i” word - impeachment…and we should say it loud and often.
Why does he talk like a hick? Because he’s a better actor than Reagan. Everything about him is as false as a character in a grade-B movie. Unlike a bad movie, however, we can’t just get up and leave this theater.
“american errorists (i hate hate haters)” by NOFX
it’s ok allow yourself a little hate
hatred is not so bad when directed at injustice
you can turn the other cheek
just don’t turn the other way
enemy of the planet we finally have a common hate
a reason to forget about our differences and stand as a united front
we must expose -humiliate american errorists
we’ll start with one
the-war-has-begun
As Ed Abbey put it
‘Some lives are pitiful,
Others ridiculus,
Most both at the same time.’
Let us pray
Lord please protect me from your ‘Followers’
Some lives are tragic, some ridiculous. Most are both at once. Ed Abbey
…..oops
Dern maybe I shuld run fer prezident
If I didn’t love my country, I would have no emotion regarding gwb. I fear my country will have much more to mourn when the damages of 2 terms are tallied up. The costs of the Iraq war would build many schools, dams, heathcare clinics.
To Ronald –No! The opposite of hate is love. Indifference is only the absence of hate. I can’t hate somebody that I don’t know. I’ll remain indifferent. Indifference is a lack of emotional response such as hate. Consider if you had said that the opposite of Love is indiffence. Again it would not be opposite -merely the absence of love. Yes is the opposite of No. Indifference would be I don’t care. An absence of Yes or No.
You should care. Trials for breaking constitutional law, high crimes and misdemeanors, and crimes against humanity are the needed outcome.
He’s not just a shamefully bad president, he’s a criminal.
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s fear. We really only hate what we fear, which is why so many Bush supporters hate the Bush haters. They fear that, when it all comes out, the foundations of their lives will crumble. If Bush is lying, then America isn’t the best country in the world, and doesn’t have the best military in the world, and doesn’t automatically come out ahead due to natural superiority. If Bush is lying, then everything they like about themselves, everything they’re proud of, is a lie. Who wants to look into that kind of dark corner of their soul? Better to kill the guy with the flashlight.
I have struggled with the hate/betrayal event. I was so let down when Clinton got caught in a stupid-human trick and besmirched his office and reputation and betrayed my trust. The pride I took in the way he conducted domestic and foreign policy and the inspiring speeches and the fact that he was smart and informed was all crushed in that image now forever attached to him that was truly no one’s business. That we come to another crisis of leadership like the scandals and hearings that took place in the terms of Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush exposes the cancer in our government and society that makes all Americans the ultimate bearers of the costs of corruption and victims of the same forces seeking to buy influence. My hatred stems from the knowledge that this man was selected, not elected. The sense that laws are made for the benefit of those who can buy the best access. Unless anger leads to action, it festers and seeks a visible face; that face turns out to be another American who can be hated because they are a “rightie, liberal, born-again, repuglican, errorists”, and on and on. The hate speech and scorn detracts from the dignity of all, and most importantly, makes enemies of those who need unity the most! Most citizens have no paid lobbyists at home or on staff, [17,000 registered in Wash.] we have our vote, and the seeds of grassroots lobbying to join our voices and donations in support of those who will speak for us.
Great thread. I have always been puzzled by this expression, “Bush hater”. It has become a presumptive defense for the right, because it neutralizes criticism of Bush’s policies by implying that that opposition arises from an irrational source. I am a very rational person and I can honestly assert that I have never harbored hate for George W. Bush. Contempt? Sure. Pity? A little. Disgust with what his policies have done to this country? Absolutely.
I was willing to give Bush a lot of latitude after what happened on Sept. 11, 2001. I supported going after bin Laden in Afghanistan. I wish we would have done it with gusto and had Special Forces boots on the ground the next day and chased his raggedy ass right into Pakistan. When we pulled up short at Tora Bora and veered off into Iraq, that is when I realized we were dealing with some dysfunctional, sick Oedipal fool. George W. Bush is an incompetent, immature twit who has no business being in the White House, but that is a well-reasoned conclusion based on the evidence and the historical record.
My Bush hatred is both wide and deep. I’ve never met W, but I come from Texas and, Lordy, I know his type. My background and beliefs are similar to those of our beloved Molly Ivins. People like us actually are cowboys. W has never quite got the accent right, but he does have the unmistakable style of Texas oil trash. These guys are bullies. I’ve had many a harsh word with ‘em, but never met one who’d fight his own fight. When fists fly, they duck, every time.
Well, I have to agree with you on some points.
However, Bush does create a deep, visceral hatred in me.
Anyone who is as corrupt, as flippant with the lives and futures of his countrymen, who has failed at everything he has ever done and never been held accountable, who claims to be religious but only uses it to manipulate those who are, and who has created the harm that he has created, deserves that sort of hatred.
His so-called likeability index is just that, so-called. There isn’t anything about this man which is genuine in respect to being someone ANYONE DECENT should want to sit down with and share a beer, as I have heard recounted so many times.
This man is corrupt, evil, manipulative, uncaring, lacking of any empathy, and driven by things which were taught to him and suckled upon by this family of equally evil people, on both sides of the family.
The Bush/Walker families have been corrupt, criminal, and worse during their past and current generations and they have assisted in irreparable harm to this country and to many, many people. Prescott’s little Hitler support was sickening enough, in itself, but the tradition has continued. Nothing, ethics, morals, or laws get in the way of this family and its’ grasping of wealth, power, and position.
You WILL all learn to love and worship him in his 3rd term.
Brilliant analysis - Thank you. On the subject of indifference (Thanks also to Ronald for incredible insight) I was totally indifferent to politics until 1999-2000. I was in college when Clinton was elected, so I had no need to protest. He was an intelligent and effective president. I didn’t care he couldn’t keep his trousers on. He ran the country well.
W has sent my beloved country down the drain. I never knew I could be so passionate about politics. You could have called me an indifferent liberal before 2000 0- I knew ver little about politics and didn’t much care. W has awakened in this kinda lazy Gen Xer, and many others, the realization that we indeed love our country, and what exactly we love about it.
I am no longer indifferent to politics. I’m the leader a group organizing demonstrations in my town about impeachment and demanding he step down (www.worldcantwait.org). The one and only thing I can thank W for is educating me on how much I indeed love the US. As Howard Zinn (not Thos. Jefferson) said, “Dissent is the higest form of patriotism.”
I believe you should strongly object to being called a Bush hater and especially if it isn’t true.
Not objecting vigorously to the fantasies and outright lies of the far right has allowed them frame the debate so that lies are true and truth are lies. This assault on truth has cost the nation dearly.
It is also objectionable because it is meant to be a discount. In other words, you’re opinion doesn’t count because you blindly hate the actor, Bush.
The fact is that people dislike Bush for some very valid reasons:
his limitless corruption and the corruption he attracts and tolerates,
his distain for the rule of law; domestic and international,
his callousness and cruelty,
his mendacity and governance by deception
his disregard for the US Consitution and true American values
his criminal incompetence and willful ignorance,
being elected by intentional and massive disenfranchisement of voters, twice
for wasting the lives, the treasure and the potential for a bright future for America and Americans.
He is clearly unprepared for and undeserving of the position and as such, has
severely degraded both the nation and his office by his presence.
To not dislike this man for his actions requires shutting off all rational thought and a stern refusal to recognize reality.
Once defenders realize the depth of depravity, they cannot like or support him.
It has been the job of the press and his protectors to keep us in the dark by refusing to report truthfully and labeling all revelations of his misdeeds and criminality the inventions of his “critics” and “Bush haters”.
We really don’t have time for negative energy, which is what hate or dislike, mild or otherwise, consists of. We need to start an insurection, demanding that our votes get counted. I propose that everybody who doesn’t do so already, to request an absentee ballot and after filling it out mailing it to your local precinct. Don’t wait for leaders to tell you that it’s okay, because it isn’t. It’s illegal, and to the extent that your vote will be declared void by the powers that be, you can count on it. Only if enough people commit this act of rebellion will the authority of county election officials be overthrown. Then, volunteer to count the votes- and do it openly. This “secret” ballot B.S. is one of the most insidious plots ever conceived. There is no reason to be secretive. Post the votes of each person, of who and what they voted for; that way, there’s no question of how the vote went. Observe who it is that protests this act of rebellion, and that will tell you who is the true enemy of Democracy.
I agree that something must be done to ensure te counting of every ballot, and absentee ballots used without being absent might be one way, but I must take exception to Mr. Garner’s dismissal of the secret ballot. The secret ballot is important for reasons which should be obvious to anyone who thinks it’s wrong that the current administration has been using the NSA to spy on Americans. One can never discount the possibility that those in power will seek to silence their opposition once they have siezed the power through legal or illegal means. The secret ballot is one way to make it harder for them to find out who their opposition is, and makes it safe to vote against the herd if that is what your conscience dictates.
In response to Mr. Lyons’ contention that the secret ballot is a necessary condition for ones safety, let me point out that now many Republicans are claiming that they didn’t vote for Bush in 2004. That could be true, but the only way to know if it’s true is if the “secret” ballot were outlawed. Bush wants us to be afraid; at every turn, he once again evokes 9-11. He hijacked a national tragedy to screw with our heads, and the only way to fight back is to stop being afraid. We are not a nation of cowards.
This is a very good conclusion you’ve reached about Bush(bafoone is the term i feel best acurately describes him)and his administration(particularly Cheney being the puppeteer)However,Rove must be mentioned as possibly being the most sinister(and therefore the most dangerous)characture and because of that he is indespensable to Bush/Cheney/etal.Am i a bush hater? To be honest, i wouldn’t spit in his ass if his guts were on fire.
Brilliant must share writing. BUT I take exception with the depiction of W as Louis IV on the site. Only beause I think it’s time to reissue Richard Lester’s The Three Musketeers parts one and two- and think about Louis XIII a bit. He was a fatuous king who loved to dress in costumes and was totally dependent -though not acknowledging this- on an eminence gris, Richelieu. Since that film came out in the seventies, we American folks have never before had so many parallels to our own situation as now.
Some great writers maintain that the opposite of love is in fact not hate but indifference.This rich loser is just a meat puppet for the powers behind the throne.He was perfect for the job because of name recognition, and an immoral personality.When the pain gets to be so great that the ordinary citizens take notice and begin to complain,it might not work this time.We have as a nation, been sleepwalking so long as to be emeshed in an all enveloping technological police state.This might be more than votes-this might be blood shed in the future.We are in for rough times as the power elite have no intention of backing off.Live free or die.It is that simple.SAW
I am of the opinion that the country does not know what the word linatic means, But after electing one the secon time, I know they Don”t.
I like the fact that the opposite party always impunes the power in party. That keeps both parties reasonably in line. But I am ashamed of the Democrats in this cycle of blame! By this time in the Clinton Administration there were sixteen of his cronies indicted, and six doing time. The President himself was being Impeached, and four of his closest allies were unexplaiably dead. The news was full of women who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by the President, and Hillory was covering up for her husband. Now compared to what the Democrats have dug up, that was entertaining!
Doc hates you too!

Anyone can see why GWB talks like a hill billy is because he wears that stupid cowboy hat. He has to play the part: hat, speech, walk. He needs to go back and take some more acting and speech lessons.
According to investigative journalist. Wayne Madsen, Pope John Paul II stated several tears ago that Bush mav be the anti-christ, When Bush and his cronies stole the 2000 election, I knew we were in big trouble. And when people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and shockingly, Billy Graham wnd two of his children (they praised Bush to the skies on the Larry King Show) just after Bush stole the election. Billy said that George W. was like his son, Franklin, which is SO TRUE. BEWARE OF ALL OF THEM; THEY ARE AFTER THE FAST BUCK. The entire Bush family is corrupt as far back as BOTH GRANDFATHERS to the present time. Please people, investigate (911Truth.org.) Mzny experts on this site have proven that 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! CHECK IT OUT.!
Jon Ponder, you are an idiot. You wouldn;t be able to UNDERSTANT a true responst to a public policy issue if it smacked you in the face.
The one thing that makes me happy is that MORE PEOPLE are on MY side of the aisle than YOURS, and LONG AFTER Bush leaves office, he will have left a LEGACY of shifting the supreme court to the RIGHT, stupid!
I just noticed! Ths “Carol” and “Sara Evans” both belong in the SAME looney bin as Jon Ponder!! If they required intelligence tests to qualify for volting, all three would FAIL!
Well, I think hateration should be replaced with masterbation, but the funda”mental”ist keep trying to get rid of the masterbation, so all we have left is hateration. What’a a poor Ah’Mera’kan” to do?
I know, let’s bring back the citizens’ stadium ala Roman-esk style…round up the evil Bushite tribe, have them escorted by buffed drag queens, into the middle of a “stadium” and, turn the endangered species loose on them!
Then, after scream to make the animals go away,(and the drag queens have to rescue them) shoot the Bushites full of the drugs that send over-seas (the ones that are banned here), and, feed them junk food while caged in cages where they have to stand all the time, like animals who are breed as “tender” meat…and just for a nice touch, pip in music, like the song “Hell yeah” by the Bloodhound Gang 24/7…Why not? They earned it!

I just came upon this website!!! I love comments I have been reading from fellow Bush haters…maybe now I can spill some anger and frustration here especially since I read a piece of Bush’s lies when Helen Thomas questioned him about ehy he really invaded Iraq…such a liar I wonder when this will all end and if America will wake up and bust this junta of criminals in DC!!!
Jon Ponder, you testify, brother. TESTIFY!!
I’ve heard that “pussy” remark attributed to Vernon Jordan when he was asked what he and Bill Clinton talked about when they played golf. I’m too lazy too do the research myself but it would be interesting to confirm the genesis of that remark.
Also, the more I think of it, the more the snipe at women didn’t matter. It was harmless. Sure, it speaks volumes but for every woman who might have been turned off, a young angry white male age eighteen to thirty five living in a rural or semirural environment cheered.
Picky, but it’s not spelled “befeft”. You might want to fix that. Or not.
Maezeppa — Thanks for being the first person to come on to defend Dear Leader. Your half-hearted attempt says a lot. Also, thanks for catching the typo.
It would take you about six seconds to type “Hartford Courant” “Bush” and “pussy” into Google and you’ll see dozens and dozens of references. Plus, I remember this incident from around the time it happened. As I said, it was my first impression of George Bush.
The Vernon Jordan quote is a canard floated by Clinton-haters. Jordan has denied it, and you can find his denials equally quickly.
