#1 This is why they hate Bush so much - because they do not have the same moral core and it is painful for the "Hate Bush" to be confronted with the truth. Nothing pains a bad person so much as to be confronted with a flawed but good person. Its akin to the hate the US gets from the totalitarians and others of that ilk in the middle-east.

They hate because the mere existence of somone like Bush invalidates their core beliefs. The fact that a conservative can be compassionate, that conservative policies (yet again - remembe Reagan?) have gotten us out of a recession, the fact that conservative social policies are gaining momentum. And instead of adapting to the world, they instead try to tear down the person that has detroyed their cherished but wrong beliefs. The more successful Bush and conservatives has been, the more shrill and violent the opponents have become.

But they cannot change the truth, and thats what will get them in the end. Hate and bile are self destructive emotions - the Republican party nearly destroyed itself over Clinton. The Democrats and the left are now doing far worse to themsleves over Bush. Things like wishing for "a million Mogadishus", slamming a true hero who gave his life helping his fellow Rangers (Ted Rall and UMAss bozoz on TIllman), etc. It willeat them from the inside out. Its already done so partially - and produced the hollow man - John Kerry - as their candidate.

#2 Look at the President's eyes... looks honestly sad, not a lip biter.

#3 Here's another President who didn't use botox and was compared to an ape.

#10 I notice "Man Bites Dog" is trying pathetically to change the subject.

Typical. Thanks for demonstrating such loser actions - and spewing more bile. YOu didnt address the genuine emotions, the words written, nor the events of the article. Instead you post a link to some tired old disproven leftie screed.

You've proved my point for me about the loonies on the left far better than any words I could have written. Your hatred has blinded you and your obivious bile at your betters is eating you up from the inside. Good luck trying to live with whats left of yourself, you poor pathetic subhuman shill.

I'll say a prayer for you today during mass.

#11 Oh, and by the way "MDB", thats you your side is losing: you are wrong, and you do not even begin to understand that you ARE wrong, much less the reasons why. Your hatred and rigid idealogy have force you into a corner where you cannot escape except thru violence or illogic. Thats why your life is so painful that you have to lash out at others - you cannot fdace the trucht that you are wrong at the core of your being.

The good thing is, unlike your type who spit on thier opponents and leave them to rot when you "win", our side tends to help and pray for those whome we defeat.

Its called "genuine compassion" - something you are utterly bereft of. You are good at pretending to have it, but not good at actually havin real compassion.

#19 Anybody have a clue what fever swamp MBD lives in? San Francisco? Unfortunately there are parts of the country that this sort of drivel passes for intelligent conversation. I'm sorry to say I even heard this sort of garbage in San Diego. I think MBD is a Kerry operative assigned to roil the blogosphere.

#21 MBD lives near a textile mill.

Because he's good at fabricating from whole cloth?

Any reason why Fred doesn't list the poster's IP address? I'm curious as to where this clown is coming from. Of course I'm in Seattle. Which should make me a prime suspect as a Kerry operative.

#22 10 years of Howard Stern while a President was getting a blow job in the white house (and then he jacked-off, asshole wouldn't even give Monica the pleasure).

Heard this though regarding shock talking Howei. His current ass clowning has to do about the satelite channel. A place he wishes to go.

So MBD you'll always be able to tune into your toilet.

#23 One thing that struck me about that picture was how old GWB looked, how he has aged. Rumsfeld looks young compared to him now.

#24 Man Sucks Dog points out that no matter how big the government--and even though we GOP believe in as small a government as possible, it's wartime and a big federal government is almost unavoidable. Ask FDR's ghost!--President Bush always makes time to hug and comfort a little girl who lost her mother.

I'd say from the expression on his fact that President Bush was miffed that the press took the picture and that he was trying to keep this private.
Thank God he's so unlike his predecessor, Bubba Photo Op.

#25 MDB I did say a prayer for you at mass - and put you in the Prayer Intentions book for the other masses ther rest of the week.

Several thousand Catholic prayers will be said for your healing.

As for Bush looking older - the Presidency does that to everyone. Compare Clinton on Inagauration day to him when he left office - or Bush I for that matter. There is an enormous amount of stress on that job, and it ages people rapidly.

The only guy it didnt do that to, that I can recall, is Jerry Ford, and he was also our only unelected president: appointed to VP to replace Agnew, then took over when Nixon resigned.

Then again, Ford didnt serve a full term, and was likely the most laid-back guy to ever hold that office. After all he is the only President that became more well known for his snap hook and shanks drives off the tee than his policies.

The picture was snapped by the girl's father.

#31 Mike and his revolutionary village people friends just hate America and wants to start a new country that mirrors Hollywood, where sterotypes are reality, materialism is the only religion, and no one cares about the power of a hug. If Big Mike is freak'n out this bad, Bush must be doing something right.

#34 ZF, President Bush still doesn't look too happy about the privacy of the moment being spoiled.
The father said that it was the most emotion his daughter had shown since 9/11 and I'll bet she was finally crying.
I can relate to this in a personal way because my father died suddenly when I was about the same age as Ashley Faulkner.

Since when did Nazis permit dissent within their own party? The Gubernator clashes with Bush on a number of issues. And since when did Nazis have multiracial cabinets?

#37 Jen, to me the expression seems to convey the feeling Bush was experiencing looking at the husband of a 9/11 victim. He seems to be sharing the father's pain just as the daughter's. The wonderful thing about this photo is that Bush had no reason to think that anyone, other than the family, would ever see it. No mugging for the press, this is genuine.

#38 Too true, Anon4777.
All I know is that President Bush is doing this *for me*.
I wish that I could hug and comfort every one of those people who lost loved ones on 9/11 (and since in the WOT) but I can't.
But the President can and does do it on my behalf as well as his own.
Bless their hearts!

#43 ManSucksDog, the US is doing great and good things in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
You just made the $200 trill figure up.
And who knew there was a "Euro-democracy?"
What the EUros have going is mainly dressed-up socialism, heading towards Soviet Communism if France and Germany have their way.
President Bush is no crook. That would be the idol of you guys on the Left--Bill Clinton--the Arkansas Crook who took from the pardoned like Marc Rich, the ChiComs, and who's been known to take more than a trip or 2 to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, etc., etc.
