"LAS VEGAS - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called President Bush "a loser" during a civics discussion with a group of teenagers at a high school on Friday. "The man's father is a wonderful human being," Reid, D-Nev., told students at Del Sol High School when asked about the president's policies. "I think this guy is a loser."
Shortly after the event Reid called the White House to apologize, his spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said. Reid spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, asking him to convey the apology to Bush, who was traveling in Europe.
The Nevada Democrat expressed "regret for the comments, that it was inappropriate," Hafen said. Reid was giving a late speech in Salt Lake City and was unavailable for comment, she said.
Asked for comment, a White House spokeswoman referred to a statement issued by the Republican National Committee. RNC spokesman Brian Jones called Reid's statement "a sad development but not surprising from the leader of a party devoid of optimism, ideas or solutions to the issues people care about most."
Reid visited the school to discuss Congress and the debate over judicial filibusters. He repeated that the Senate will be brought to a standstill if Republicans change the rules regarding filibusters to hasten the approval of Bush's judicial nominees.
Hafen said Reid told the teenagers that if Republicans change the filibuster rules, then they can "no longer count on Senator Reid working with them on the president's agenda."
Reid's comments were first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on its Web site."

Bush should beat the hell out of this leftist fag.

[QUOTE]ââ¬ÅI donââ¬â¢t think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if thatââ¬â¢s what a state chooses to do so,ââ¬Â Bush said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC. Bush acknowledged that his position put him at odds with the Republican platform, which opposes civil unions. ââ¬ÅI view the definition of marriage different from legal arrangements that enable people to have rights,ââ¬Â said Bush, who has pressed for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. ââ¬ÅStates ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others.ââ¬Â

The Democrats and Republicans are all losers, though for slightly different reasons. Bush is one of the bigger losers among them, though. His extremely limited intelligence renders him very susceptible to manipulation by well-placed representatives of Israel; hence, the Iraq War. He is the neocons' trained ape.

The most awful thing about the man (sic!) is that he believes his own lies. Bush is a complete pinhead.

Gabby, what about Bush's best friend Jeff Gannon? I hear he has peculiar homo tastes which doesn't seem to bother Jorge in the least bit. Is there a difference between "leftist" faggots and "right-wing" faggots in your book?
