George W. Is the Most Badass President in the History of the U.S.

http://www.gnn.tv/threads/10799/Bush...piece_of_paper

Quote:

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

George W. would be my favorite U.S. president of all time if he can somehow circumvent the Constitution and get the nation to let him stay in office after this second term is up.

I wish I could kill George Bush. No wait, I don't mean that. Is there a non-violent way to kill someone?

I wonder what that lady would say about this.

It is just a piece of paper. He is right about that.

The only upside to Bush is that he only has a year and a half left in office. Hopefully history will then bury him alongside James Buchanon and Calvin Coolidge.

If I could get away with it, I'd kill him. I have it in me.

Holy shit, he's like a supervillain.

I'm glad he finally up and said it though.

A blogger heard from three sources he won't divulge that Bush called the Constitution a "god-damned piece of paper" a year and a half ago. Awesome thread.

Screw getting away with it, lets just do it. I'll make the molotovs (yes we'll need many) you grab the rope (because we're gunna hang him from the Statue of Liberty after burning Capital Hill to the ground).

I love Bush, btw. Much better than Dick.

the "its just a goddamn piece of paper" line has been posted on digg more than a few times, and it's never been proven he's said it. As much as it seems to be something he'd say, there's no proof.

While I agree that it's likely that quote was fabricated, actions speak louder than words, and Bush's actions thus far have suggested that he'd easily take a shit on the Constitution if given the chance.

Even if this quote is authentic, it doesn't change anything. People who supported him before obviously don't care enough about the constitution to be offended by this.

That's pretty cool. I wonder how credible that news site is though, I feel like I would see it elsewhere too.

Thread locked. Like Biff said, I do not condone and I do not want to give the appearance of condoning any threat to an elected official of the United States government. I advocate a peaceful, diplomatic, and logical resolution to political controversies and leave the violence to video game simulations and to our police and armed forces (and to taking down assholes in bars that don't know when to shut the fuck up and leave your woman alone).
