WTF??!! I warned you I refuse to pretend that Bush did anything but destroy our country. Here is Rep. Trent Franks and others trying to give praise to that bastard that made sure that the American people (especially those that still have brain matter) knew how he felt? What is this? The GOP fighting the GOP? Is this a warning message for those GOP members that plan to come out and sign a petition that Bush was not a republican? I know damn well, this is not a real tribute. For what? Bush did only one thing and that was destroy America by bringing this country to the brink of destruction and he gets a tribute? Are we now going to put up statues of Hitler to give him his props as well? How disgusting the GOP is in their confusion while trying to find their identity. Or is this an example of listening to too much Rush Limbaugh? What ever, this is pathetic and once again, so damn sad.

George W. Bush is gone from office…but he is not forgotten, at least not by Reps. Trent Franks (R-AZ), Mike Pence (R-IN), and Steve King (R-IA). On Thursday, the three men spent almost 40 minutes delivering their final love letters to Bush. Some highlights: – FRANKS: “President Bush often had to walk like a knowing lion — like a knowing lion, Mr. Speaker, through the chattering of hyenas. … f those critics do not devour themselves in the meantime, Mr. Speaker, they may face the bared teeth of an enemy that will make us all wish the lion still walked among us.”– PENCE: “I truly believe that this nation owes a debt of gratitude to George W. Bush.”– KING: “I’m here to say thank you to President Bush for the things that he has done when he’s had his steady hand on the till of leadership, and especially with our national defense.”At one point, Franks began to tear up when talking about how Bush made the country “brighter” and “more hopeful” for his children. Throughout the 40 minutes, they also compared Bush to Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. Watch some highlights:(HT: CSPAN Junkie)Transcript: More »« Less
