Why did George W Bush write in Condoleezza rice for president in 2020?

He’s an asshole. He knows Biden was the far better choice and yet he wasted his vote.

lol...

Maybe, he appears to be overly fond of Michelle Obama as well. Daddy likes some brown sugar

I wish someone would ask him how it feels to be considered the second worst President in the modern era.

^ It feels great compared to being the worst

Did you read the article you posted, OP?

R6 The article explained his disdain for DT. But still makes no sense to vote for someone who's not running.

He's not normal. Without daddy's money he'd probably be an alcoholic living in a shack in Toadshit, Texas.

Agreed R7. Fuck him for writing in CR when a perfectly good alternate is actually running...Joe Biden. I'd rather his vote go to Dump. Really, fuck this guy.

Once a moron...

He is, was, and likely always will be a LOSER.

It is only because of nepotism that he is what he is.

And the same can be said for his attention-seeking daughter: nepotism continuing the Bush cycle.

CR had something going on that had Shrub and Gaddafi sniffing like dogs.

If Condoleeza Rice and Michelle Obama were both white, I doubt he'd be so publicly affectionate with either of them.

He’s a mass murderer.

Yes, he did get the U.S. into war with the wrong damn country (Iraq). How stupid was that weapons of mass destruction theory from Day One?

Careful, OP. That tiny slice of Condy visible in the image will bring out the howling Meghan trolls with their pitchforks and klan hats.

I always write in Cher yet she's never won.

The Dems need to beat people over the head with how bad W and Trump were for the country... like the GOP did with Carter for years.

Virtue signalling but also Trump was repugnant to establishment conservatives like Bush and Rice. He wasn't a neo-con for one thing (wanted to pull troops out, pro-Russia). Didn't like immigration which business likes. Didn't even give lip service to reducing debt. Etc.

Is he still trying to convince the world he paints? After those awful originals leaked to the press years ago, they found someone who could create fakes for him- with much more finesse, of course- sorta folk-arty.

He must have been instructed to paint for some kind of therapy. But he was no good at it. I don't think anyone can imagine him painting. He probably just watched sports and takes naps.

I'm glad Bush is unwise enough to flap his gums because can not be permitted to rehabilitate his filthy legacy.

Bush walked so Dump could fly.

Did you forget Bush lost that election in 2000? And was installed on a technicality?

Didn't want to vote democratic and Trump was a personal enemy. (remember who Trump destroyed Jeb's presidential hopes?)

R18 I agree.

Bush's legacy seems to be improving by millions of short term memories.

I find it interesting that he would throw away his vote rather than give it to Biden. This is how a fanatic thinks. He obviously has an insane view of the Democrats if he chose to write in a non-entity. I bet his head would explode if he admitted to himself that the Democrats are better at governing.

Hey, Dubya! Choke on your damn fried chicken, you incompetent ineffectual imbecile. I hope you fall off a horse and then die in a grease fire.

Joy Behar actually said she likes George W. now a couple of months ago.

Trump hatred has made everyone crazy. Um the war, hello Joy, you wanted people to go out in the streets and protest etc.

This thread has a bunch of unhinged Marys. He isn’t President anymore. Who cares what he does? This sounds no different than the whackadoodle Republicunts who incessantly bash the Clintons. I’m more concerned with the orange shit stain running again in 2024.

I'm not a fan by any means but for the most part I suspect based on my own family of deplorables experiences they just don't vote Democrat no matter what. Even when they hate the alternative. I think a Democrat will hold his nose more times because in general liberals are less petty. But he was the first Republican leader to publicly acknowledge Biden's win and was the first Republican to call both Biden and Kamala Harris to congratulate them. And if I'm not mistaken like Obama advised Joe to proceed like any other president elect because the clown was gonna put on show all the way out of Washington.

Maybe he grew up with a mammie.

Remember that time W supposedly choked on a pretzel, fainted, and banged up his face? Supposedly, he was at the white house watching TV.

Laura Bush is not a Republican. It's well known she's a Democrat and a lot of Republicans had a problem with it when she first became first lady.

Laura was way more liberal as a first lady than most Republicans would've liked. Laura even said herself, she's only Republican by marriage.

She knows Republican party politics is garbage.

Laura Bush has always been openly pro gay. The daughters too

R8 Why do people keep insisting the Bushes are this ultra wealthy family when their not?

George HW Bush was not a wealthy man in the way people think he was. He did really make good money until after he was president. They were comfortable, but not the ultra millionaires people make them out to be.

And Bushes money came from a sports team he owned part of before he ran for president. I believe he sold his share of the team for $15 million before taxes.

The Bushes are not that wealthy. Their comfortable but that's it.

Bush also has a tree farm on his Crawford Texas ranch. He said recently he sells the trees on "CBS Sunday morning."

He's doing everything he can to cash in.

R60. Too many details=lying.

"Chocked on a pretzel"= black out, fall down drunk.

One of the Bush twins is actually really pretty and the Ivy league educated liberal type like her mom. Usually the pretty one isn't the smart one.

It’s was bullshit from the start, and they knew it.

Oh dear, oh DEAR!

[quote] One of the Bush twins is actually really pretty and the Ivy league educated liberal type like her mom. Usually the pretty one isn't the smart one.

Yeah, but 2 odd things about her:

1) She reports she is insanely close to her father; they speak every day on the phone or in person.

2) Her fashion choices (in regards to her chest) are really bizarre. Although not an issue, she is flat chested, yet wears incessantly low-cut, provocative shirts/dresses. Her wedding dress was a prime example. Even when giving speeches or in a professional setting, she continues to reveal her “chest”. It’s inappropriate and weirdly out-of-place given her physique, presence and position as a speaker for being “the smart one”.

I don't think the pretty one is in public life at all. Jenna Bush works at a network. The really smart pretty one is in no public view that Ive ever seen.

Trump was a better president than Bush. At least Trump didn’t kill thousands of people.

The reason Bush hates Trump is because he put a halt to the NWO that mainstream democrats and republicans alike support. Trump hates neocons.

W has been cancelled by the hard right because he's now pro gay, pro imigration, has the nerve to be friends with Michelle Obama and loathes the Orange menace. And supports Joe Biden. How dare he?

R48, Republican don’t cancel people. Cancel culture is only a democrat thing.

Really, smart pretty? Who would that be?

This????

Ewe she aged poorly. She's still the more sane Bush.

Barb Jr is pretty

The Obamas did say the Bush twins were very kind and well mannered

R44 Tell me about it.

R40 you weren't joking about the chest thing

Nip slip with Grandpa in Vogue.

At least Trump didn’t kill thousands of people.

500 thousand dead of covid.

I will always like Laura Bush for shutting down a stupid controversy the right was trying to inflame about Michelle Obama on the 2008 campaign trail.

It was true class.

Writing in Condoleeza Rice was the substantial equivalent of a vote for Trump, same as a vote for a third party candidate, or declining to vote at all. He's as much of an asshat as ever.

Perhaps someday he'll forget and land somewhere in the world where he's wanted for war crimes.

R50, here she is in a professional setting:

More

Professor Rice has more balls and smarts than the last three presidents combined. She would make an excellent national leader.

R7 It depends where he is registered. If he is living in a safely red or blue state, his vote doesn’t matter anyway. I voted 3rd party myself.

R56 she’s BFFs with all the nauseating social gays (Derek Blasberg, Nick Brown etc). One of them (his name is slipping my mind ATM) actually went to Yale with her. So meh. I like Jenna better.

[quote]How stupid was that weapons of mass destruction theory from Day One?

Far for palatable to the masses than "The Sauds ordered us to take out Saddam Hussein so they can sleep at night".

^^^^ more, not for ^^^

Bush was pissed Trump didn’t drop drones on children on a regular basis like he and his pal Obama did.

[quote] [R56] she’s BFFs with all the nauseating social gays (Derek Blasberg, Nick Brown etc). One of them (his name is slipping my mind ATM) actually went to Yale with her. So meh. I like Jenna better.

For me, Jenna is the crass, trashy, quintessential American caricature who trades on nepotism.

Her chesty sister is quieter, but also appears to have dubious affiliations: her father, Dereck Blasberg, etc.

Not a Bush fan.....of any of them.

R63 you fucking liar

The far right won't stop lying. If their mouth is moving, they are lying,

R18 I agree, but for some reason people want to turn him into some loveable character.

Fuck this guy.

R35 Doe anyone else think she has a face like a monkey?

How does Barbra support herself? Jenna has a cushy network job, making I'm sure a nice salary to live off of. She recently did a house spread for some magazine, I forget. It's not a large house but it's definitely comfortable.

But Barbra, I have no idea as to what she does. Didn't she marry an actor?

Gore Vidal thought Bush was a peace of shit.

I wonder what he would've thought about Trump?

Piece of shit.

George and Condi should have been cited for Crimes Against Humanity like Milosovic et al. War criminals.

He is indeed a piece of shit. Why couldn't he just vote for Biden? It's widely known that all the Bushes voted for Clinton in 2016.

Vote for whomever you choose but shut up about it or risk reminding the world what huge, irredeemable POS you are.

He looked high at Bab's Bush funeral service.

R42 , What do you call 50000 dead from Covid . Mexican babies dying in cages . Dying in a grease 🔥 is too good for your Sorry anal warts infested ass .

Which one became a teacher? I hope not the one who likes to show her sternum. Dumb family who made their money ruining the environment. Should be ignored if not shunned.

The non-Trump loving Republicans are getting desperate to trot out Dubya as some sensible party elder. Has everyone forgotten that he ignored the intelligence that said "Bin Laden determined to strike in the US"; we invaded Iraq (basically alone, the rest of our allies didn't want to get involved) illegally; "Heckuva job Brownie" Michael Brown and the botched Hurricane Katrina response (remember the dead bodies floating down the streets of NOLA and Mommy Bar Bush saying "they were underprivileged anyway, this worked out well for them"); and the global economic collapse of 2007/2008??? I could also go on and on about Enron and deregulation, the militarization of the police, etc.

I think the Republican powers that be are getting desperate to change the narrative and trick people into thinking they're not the party of Trump, QAnon, and the likes of Matt Gaetz/Marje Taylor Green. Guess what, they are exactly that now. And your lame attempts to trot out John Bohner and Eric Cantor (ERIC FUCKING CANTOR, I couldn't believe that one--the Tea Baggers hated that douchebag) are falling flat. Accept that you are a traitorous, white supremacist party now.

I don't mind the look of flat- or small-chested women wearing low-cut stuff like a blazer (no shirt underneath). Michelle Pfeiffer and Grace Jones did it well.

What I hate, for flat-chested and big-chested woman is that underwire-bra-looking stuff (worn as a dress or shirt). The underwire stuff just looks ridiculous as anything but underwear, IMO.

Back in the Bush years my sister lived in Brooklyn and came across a painting at a farmer's market or flea market--Dubya with his hand gently touching Condi's leg while she whispered in his ear. Damn, I wish she had bought it. I think he likes the dark meat.

To prove to Laura he could spell Condoleeza, OP

That Condoleezza is one little minx

[quote] R48, Republican don’t cancel people. Cancel culture is only a democrat thing.

Would it help to use Google Translate from Russian/Chinese/Farsi to English?

R54 Laura did the same thing right before the election in 2004 when John Kerry’s wife said Laura had never had a real job, and the GOP and the press pounced on Kerry. Laura shut it down saying, "It didn't matter to me. It didn't hurt my feelings. It was perfectly all right that she apologized. She didn't have to apologize. I know how tough it is. And actually I know those trick questions.” I thought that was classy.

Laura Bush was also a pot dealer (ALLEGEDLY!) in college, which adds to her street cred.

R51 What the fuck happened to his teeth? When you zoom in on the picture, they look brown and slimy. Does that happen to all old people?

[quote] Back in the Bush years my sister lived in Brooklyn and came across a painting at a farmer's market or flea market--Dubya with his hand gently touching Condi's leg while she whispered in his ear.... I think he likes the dark meat.

I think W knew damn well that Rice was a lesbian. IMO, he found her presence comforting. Obviously, Laura was not threatened by the relationship. He does all that PDA with Rice & Michelle Obama right in front of Laura and she is unbothered.

I don't think he's attracted to Michelle, either. I think he finds her comforting as well.

My Opinions and Observations.

[quote]lesbian bitch

The level hate for lesbians on this site is something. I think lesbians have eclipsed white gay men as being the most hated group on this site.

level *of

Dubya just wants to sail aboard the SS Condoleezza Rice!

[quote] Professor Rice has more balls and smarts than the last three presidents combined. She would make an excellent national leader. —Condi for Prez!

Think that this is short-sighted, R58. Condi may have more “balls” and intellectual “intelligence” than others, but she is STUNTED in other, significant forms of intelligence. Believe her to be emotionally and morally impoverished and lacking in those forms of intelligence which are equally of value in a leader.

If the past has revealed anything, it has shown us that egoism, “ballsy-bullying” and such qualifications attributed to CEOs and political leaders are not enough. Sure, perhaps to steam roll over everything and everyone and accrue $$$$$$; but that is not the measure of a country’s great leader. Those with “balls” and “intellectual intelligence” without visionary perspective, empathy, understanding and ethical perception are a dime a dozen and the usual autocrat like Putin.

Ever read what Condi’s Mum said about her?

Nah, think Condi for all you mention would be another Trump/Bush kind of President.

Hard PASS.

[quote] George and Condi should have been cited for Crimes Against Humanity like Milosovic et al. War criminals.

Indeed, R73. Indeed.

So Laura Bush killed a guy, that's crazy she had that basically wiped from the internet.

R85 oh my god what a horrible person

“George W Bush Can’t Paint His Way Out of Hell”

W will always be a racist crooked war criminal, Fuck him.

With Bush, there would've been no Sarah Palin or Trump etc.

He really did ruin everything in America. American life really changed under Bush.

Without Bush.

[quote]Ever read what Condi’s Mum said about her?

No, actually. Care to tell us?

Mum? This is America, we say mom here.

Thx!

R87 Exactly. I don't think either of them are attracted to the other, especially on Condi's side. There were persistent rumors on the internet that Condi had a crush on Bush and called him her husband. Give me a fucking break! How many lesbians do they know have a crush on stupid chimp-looking old guys? Not that I'm a fan of Condi, but lesbians do have standard. And the rumor is just sexist. Couldn't women live without having a crush on guys, not even lesbians? That alleged slip of tongue could very well be something else she was trying to say but got misheard.

She’s in love with him. He likes that. He’s not getting adulation from Laura. She can be lez while she deludes herself she’s in love with a man.

R100 I can't see that at all. There's no chance she's in love with that moronic chimp. It's a baseless rumor. She could very well just be flattering him to get career advancement.

Why is there even a point to delude herself? The woman lived with her partner for decades. She sure as hell knows her own sexuality.

I know she’s not really part of the family anymore but Sharon Bush is a huge Trumper.

I'm not a Bush fan by any means, let me be clear with that, but I recall when he started getting into painting post presidency and they were total cringe. I saw some of his paintings more recently and he's definitely improved.

Dub and Condie were friends because they're both closet cases.

R103 Was she ever part of their family? I think they have a strict business relationship.

It is quite creepy to be like family with your boss.

R106 I’m not sure if that was a joke but she was married to his brother. Her children are HW’s grandchildren. I don’t think the children are Trumpers but she sure is.

I thought the Bush married into money. I believe George H. W.'s grandmother family was quite wealthy
