Kennedy To Receive Bush Public Service Award
What they hell are they thinking giving that pathetic, ignorant, lying, traitorous, drunken commie who recently accused our president of “fraud” and “bribery” a “George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service“??? Pathetic!
Update: Here is an editorial from the Wash Times. Nicholas at The Rule of Reason comments:
If we are defined by our heroes, one has to wonder what kind of man George H.W. really is to feel the need to honor Teddy Kennedy with his namesake award. Not one who cares about principles, it would seem.
Are you sure when you say “pathetic, ignorant, lying, traitorous, drunken, fraud and bribery", you aren’t refering to “W?”

That what happens when you do not listen to the people who put you in the office.
The “Gents” withdrew their support and will help elect a conservative democrat.
And as a Jewish Conservative Republican of the “paleo” variety I applaud Daddy.
If we want Likud to rule Amrica, we woulh have said so.

This was perhaps the most difficult thing former President Bush has ever done. It is no secret that he strongly disagrees with the policies of his son…and now he has clearly communicated this message to the world and he did so in the manner of the true statesman he is…by saying that Kennedy is correct. This has nothing to do with Kennedy’s personal faults…it has everything to do with Kennedy’s message. The former President believes that Kennedy is correct and that his son is very wrong.

To equate George W. with the likes of Ted Kennedy is like comparing Castro with Washington. Get a clue or be silent.

Here’s why:
Former President Bush was honored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation in May, 2000 when Caroline Kennedy, President of the Kennedy Library Foundation, presented him with the John F. Kennedy Distinguished American Award before a capacity crowd at the Kennedy Library. Kennedy presented President Bush with an inscribed bronze bust of President Kennedy, in recognition of Bush’s distinguished public career as a World War II veteran, Congressman, Ambassador, CIA Director, Vice President and President. The inscription read: “To President George Bush, whose lifetime of public service has given meaning to these words, Ask not what your country can do for you – Ask what you can do for your country.”
