I fuckin' love that line, but it still doesn't make this thread (or the other two ) worth reading.
yes shah, err... I mean county, we get it, we all dislike(or even hate) our current comrade in chief
yes, he's a total asswipe most of the time, and funny as hell the rest of the time
but 0.1% of the time (that's one out of a thousand blur, wait, does that make me an intellectual elitist, in that case I apologize, at this point you should tell me I should probably learn to use a semi-colon instead of all the damn parenthesis and someone would probably snerk at me), maybe even 0.5% of the time, he's just another (little) man like you and I, and sad movies make him cry.
so no county, it wasn't a damn onion
he was thinking about that part in "I Am Legend" where Will Smith's dog died.
I can hear him thinking: "that Will Smith, he's a pretty good actor"

On a serious note about the subject, I'm good friends with a lawyer who worked for Bush's administration when he was governor. On the eve of this Iraq war, he shared that after leaving office, one of the first jobs Bush 41 took on was writing personal letters to the family of every serviceman and servicewoman killed during the first Iraq war. Bush Sr. didn't have time to devote to it when he was president, but he admirably made it a priority after leaving office. My friend said with absolute certainty that the new President Bush would do the same for the families of the dead from his war.
I've often thought about that conversation over the last five years. It used to make me angry, like when Bush turned his administration's fraudulent claims about WMD's in Iraq (and the war, and the dead it created) into a slideshow joke for the Washington press corps. Then there were the mileposts - 1,000 dead, 2,000 dead, 3,000 dead, and the growing magnitude of his task, even as I knew he would never do it. When he leaves office next January, I have no doubts he will try to do exactly what he told a reporter last year - hit the speaking circuit and make money.
But if there is justice, I like to imagine it delivered as George W. Bush being sent every day to a windowless room, where there is only a GSA-standard issue desk and chair, a legal pad and pen, and pictures of the dead soldier, airman, sailor or marine whose family he has to write that day. He comes back day after day, seven days a week, every day of the year, for more ten consecutive years.
So, did Bush use an onion....
