The Political Teen has the video you don’t want to miss, this bizarre/amusing interview of Don King in which he states the following:
WOLF BLITZER, HOST: You love George Bush?
DON KING: I love George Walker Bush because I think he’s a revolutionary. He’s a president that comes in with conclusiveness. What they’re doing in tomorrow in Iraq is a demonstration of that for the vote for democracy. The fundamental process of democracy is freedom of speech, law and order, being able to have freedom, working with people and working and governing yourselves. George Bush is that. He included in…
Go watch the whole thing.

U.S. DEMOCRATS ARE NOT INNOCENT
Many of the comparisons between Iraq and Vietnam used by democrats are illogical. Our brave soldiers are volunteers, and not largely draftees as in the Vietnam War. In addition, the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq has now evolved into more of a “police action” than an actual war. In his decision to invade Iraq, President Bush’s only mistake was to trust incorrect intelligence reports. But many from the U.S. Democratic Party made the same type of mistake. For example:
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 (Vice-President under Clinton – ran for President in the year 2000)
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is developing weapons of mass destruction.”
Senator Ted Kennedy (Massachusetts), Sept. 27, 2002.
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
Senator John F. Kerry (Massachusetts), Oct. 9, 2002.
“He (Saddam Hussein) has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaida members….Left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
Senator Hillary Clinton (New York), Oct 10, 2002
As you can see from the above, many democrats have very short memories when it comes to the judgments of leaders in their own political party.

The craziest, batshit, out of his mind black person in the country happens to be a Republican, and a big Bush-backer at that. I might call that ironic.

Sharpton may be crazy, but he was never convicted of felonly murder.

One of the problems with living in a small rural town in the midwest is you got nothing to do with your life.
Perry Como
Mr. King is 100% correct. Before President Bush came to office, no one had even considered that the Middle East could be transformed. With the President’s bold vision, we will soon see a wave of democracy sweep over the world, at gun point if need be.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

This reminds me of back when Bush told of his “soul to soul” talk with that KGB hero Putin.
The only other person who wigged like I did was Jesse Helms.
That was a weird day. This just makes perfect sense, and doesn’t surprise me a bit.

When Don King demands more “black” names on the hurricane names list, I might consider the above statement to have a remote chance of being true.
The Disenfranchised Voter
Considering how much of a corrupt, unethical piece of shit Don King is, don’t you think he’s one of those guys whose support you wouldn’t want, or at least wouldn’t want others to know about it?
I mean would someone want Charles Manson’s endorsement?
Squeaky Fromme
And George Bush is so much sexier than Gerald Ford.

Well, this does raise an interesting question. Which is funnier, Chevy Chase playing Gerald Ford or Will Ferrell playing Dubya?
Steve S
You know, that would have actually been funny if you’d made a Don King style rhyme.
But clearly you aren’t DougJ.
You forgot Dana Carvey doing Bush the Greater.
ckrisz
Yet another reason to despise Bush.

Vincent Bemowski says the anti-Bush postings here are shallow expressions coming from shallow minds. Having been born in Chicago, and after living there off and on a number of years, I now reside in a smaller city in WI. The place you live has no relation to your intelligence – everyone except some immature people who post on this website know that. The “one-liners” they post show their lack of intelligence. Any child can post a smart remark – it is easy to see that the Democrats who post replies to my letter of 12/15/05 have still not reached mental adulthood.
